Could you let me know when we can expect the code to be removed from the github site? + +In plain English, we believe, and have evidence to support, user “chrisspang” having taken a copy of our source code several years ago, modifying some minor names to cover evidence (eg “systems@kbcfp.com” -> “systems”) and posting the copyrighted code to github’s repository. + +1) the infringed upon data requested in Section (1) is company confidential, so we cannot give it out - it is simply not available to the Internet. However, I do include "diffs" taken from the time we believe the data to have been taken from us by your user. Taking these diff’s is a time consuming piece of work and we’ve got half-way – if you need all of them please let me know. As you will see, they highlight that your user has simply search/replaced our company references for generic references, but the bulk of the code remains unchanged. The code can be described as “scripts to support SMB or Enterprise-class IT Infrastructure” + +2) Section (2) is easily identified – it is the following repository: https://github.com/chrisspang/misc - this link clearly identifies the person who committed the code (“chrisspang” – who we believe to be [private]) and I’d expect github to be able to track the date it was committed + +3) [private], [private]@kbcfp.com, [private], [private] + +4) this source is registered under one of github’s users (chrisspang, who we believe to be [private]); we do not have their contact details, but presumably github does + +5) 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. + +6) 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. + +7) Signature attached + +Regards, +[private]
