Dear To Whom It May Concern,
|
||||
|
||||
I am writing this email to submit a DMCA Takedown Notice on a repository
|
||||
that is essentially forked from my past repository. I have read and
|
||||
understand GitHub's Guide to filing a DMCA notice. I am an active user
|
||||
(etaylor5) of GitHub and publish code to many repositories. While in
|
||||
school, I published some of my code from courses I took at the University
|
||||
of Maryland for employers to view during their hiring process. However,
|
||||
after receiving an email about 2 years ago from the Computer Science
|
||||
department about students finding my solutions online and using them to
|
||||
cheat, I removed my repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Recently, I received another email stating that students are still finding
|
||||
my solutions to cheat and I was provided with the following link:
|
||||
https://github.com/wdefinba/Coding-Samples. This link brings me to another
|
||||
user (wdefinba) who had forked my repository (Coding-Samples) before it was
|
||||
deleted 2 years ago. As far as I can tell and after looking around, this is
|
||||
the only fork of my deleted repository that exists. After looking through
|
||||
the repository itself, there are no changes from the deleted repository.
|
||||
|
||||
The entire repository is infringing my copyrighted work because students
|
||||
are taking it as their own. Due to the fact that the repository is forked,
|
||||
deleting my repository did not solve the problem as wdefinba would have to
|
||||
delete the forked repository to completely remedy the infringement. I have
|
||||
tried contacting wdefinba but I have not received a response and I believe
|
||||
this user is no longer active. I am sending this report because if students
|
||||
continue to use my solutions, not only will they be jeopardizing their
|
||||
academic integrity, but I will be as well. I wish for no one to jeopardize
|
||||
their professional life by using my solutions.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
I would like to thank you for looking into this matter. I can be contacted
|
||||
by any method listed below.
