+I represent the McArthur Law Firm, intellectual property counsel to Big
+Duck Games, LLC. I believe in good faith that the material at the below
+listed URL infringes Big Duck Games, LLC's copyrights and that the use of
+the below listed third party content is not authorized by the rights
+holder, its agent, or the law.

+Big Duck Games, LLC's copyrighted work can be found here:

+The following content appearing on the GitHub website infringes Big Duck's
+copyrights. Pursuant to the DMCA, you must expeditiously disable and/or
+remove access to the infringing material at the following URL:

+Big Duck's United States copyright registration numbers are: PA 1-917-339,
+PA 1-907-000, PA 1-907-001, PA 1-908-714, and PA-1-915-664.
+
+The nature of our copyright complaint is that the infringing game is a
+substantially similar clone. They (1) replicate the exact game play,
+organization, and experience of the original Flow Free game, and (2)
+incorporate similar imagery from the game, which federal courts have said
+is enough to be considered copyright infringement. See, e.g., Spry Fox LLC
+v. Lolapps, Inc., 2:12-cv-00147-RAJ (W.D. Wash. Sept. 18, 2012); see also
+Tetris Holding, LLC v. XIO Interactive, LLC, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 74463
+(D. N.J., May 30, 2012). The infringing clone has the same game play as Big
+Duck Games, LLC's Flow games and is substantially similar with the same
+total concept and feel. U.S. federal courts have held for video games that
+a clone is infringing and substantially similar for purposes of copyright
+infringement if the “total concept and feel” of the two games is the same.
