Use of our game code constitutes an unauthorized emulation of "Black +Desert Online" game server to grant ability to host a game server on +specific hardware. +2. Unauthorized use of assets, asset modification that grants ability to +play on a hosted "Black Desert Online" server with clients hardware. + +The infringing code is being publicly available on GitHub without the +consent or authorization of the owner at the following links and is +designed to provide access: +1. https://github.com/conan513/darksavannah + +- I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice. +- I am providing this notice in good faith and with the reasonable belief +that rights I own are being infringed. +- Under penalty of perjury I certify that the information contained in the +notification is both true and accurate, and I have the supreme authority to +act on behalf of myself, who is the lawful owner of the copyright(s) +involved. + +We are seeking GitHub immediate assistance in stopping the unauthorized and +infringing activity described above.
