Hello,
|
||||
|
||||
I'm the copyright holder for the Trackpad++ software (http://trackpad.powerplan7.com)
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately our software got affected by a keygen, openly published
|
||||
at GitHub (at https://github.com/lktiep/TrackpadPlusKeygen)
|
||||
|
||||
GitHub Terms of Service (A.8) are clearly violated, and, more
|
||||
importantly, an international copyright law. We had given NO permission
|
||||
to a third party (including GitHub user account 'lktiep') to reverse
|
||||
engineer our software and generate/distribute the tools for assigning
|
||||
the License Keys (Donator's S/Ns) for our software. Please note that the
|
||||
author of the keygen himself does clearly state, it is THE KEYGEN. May I
|
||||
kindly raise the question, since when GitHub is openly hosting the
|
||||
keygens and/or cracks?
|
||||
|
||||
Please let me briefly describe the mechanism of circumvention:
|
||||
- Our Trackpad++ software is a kind of donationware which requires
|
||||
mandatory weekly updates unless the user is a donator;
|
||||
- We assign the Donator's S/N keys only to project supporters, and
|
||||
once entered, the Donator's S/N disables the mandatory weekly redownload
|
||||
feature;
|
||||
- This mechanism, Donator's S/N for permanent uninterrupted usage is
|
||||
the way our project is being funded.
|
||||
- The keygen not only breaks our licensing scheme/EULA by allowing all
|
||||
people to get the S/N assigned, but also features the reverse engineered
|
||||
code, and directly steals the copyrighted intellectual property from the
|
||||
owner. IT'S THE KEYGEN, IT'S THAT SIMPLE, AND ITS AUTHOR ALREADY
|
||||
CONFIRMED THIS IN HIS OWN DESCRIPTION, SO PLEASE COSIDER IT FOR REMOVING
|
||||
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
|
||||
|
||||
I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice. I
|
||||
have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described
|
||||
above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by the copyright
|
||||
owner, or its agent, or the law. I swear, under penalty of perjury, that
|
||||
the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the
|
||||
copyright owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an
|
||||
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

||||

Thank You,
