+Dear Github, Inc.:  
+  
+   
+  
+The Motion Picture Association, Inc. ("MPA") represents each of the major motion picture studios in the United States, specifically, Paramount Pictures Corporation, Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., Universal City Studios LLC, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, Netflix Studios, LLC, and their respective affiliates (collectively, the “MPA Member Studios”), which own or control exclusive rights under copyright in and to a vast number of motion pictures and television shows worldwide.  
+  
+   
+  
+We are writing to notify you of, and request your assistance in addressing, the extensive copyright infringement of motion pictures and television shows that is occurring by virtue of the operation of the infringing service titled “King Club X.”  King Club X is a software application – specifically an APK – that is preconfigured to provide unauthorized access to copyrighted motion pictures and television shows; a user need only download the APK, and on launch it will allow the user to search for, select and stream large numbers of copyrighted motion pictures and television shows, without any further configuration by the user, and all without authorization (collectively, the “APK”).   
+  
+   
+  
+Github is providing supporting services to King Club X in multiple ways. Github hosts King Club X’s Internet website https://kingclub1.github.io// (the “Website”) on the IP addresses 185.199.108.153, 185.199.109.153, 195.199.110.153, and 185.199.111.153 in your network.  The Website provides a download link for the APK, connecting users directly to the APK at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CerebrixTV/cerebrixtv.github.io/master/app-release.apk.   
+  
+   
+  
+Attached as Exhibit A is a list of some of the motion pictures and television programs that are owned or controlled by the MPA Member Studios and that are being infringed by King Club X.  Specifically, MPA has visited the Website, clicked on the download link, downloaded the APK from the Repository, launched the APK (without any modification or other input), selected sample titles to stream, and taken screenshots of those sample titles streaming, without authorization, through the APK.  Exhibit A is provided as a representative sample of the infringements being committed as a result of the operation of King Club X, and to demonstrate the readily-apparent nature of the massive infringement occurring thereon. The list is not intended to suggest that the identified infringements are the only ones occurring on King Club X. Having been informed, through the representative list, of the nature and scope of infringements occurring on these websites, we hope that you will act appropriately to address all infringement on King Club X, not merely the identified representative examples.  
+  
+   
+  
+Exhibit A, moreover, merely provides concrete examples of what is obvious from even a cursory review of King Club X. King Club X – your customer – blatantly infringes the MPA Member Studios’ copyrights and countless other copyrights. Indeed, copyright infringement is so prevalent on King Club X that infringement plainly is its predominant use and purpose.  
+  
+   
+  
+By this notification, we are asking for your immediate assistance in stopping your customer’s unauthorized activity. Specifically, we request that you cease providing all supporting services to King Club X, by removing or disabling access to the infringing Website and removing the APK, all in accordance with either 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A)(ii) (DMCA “representative list” provision), 17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(1)(A) (DMCA “repeat infringer” provision), and/or the Github, Inc.’s Acceptable Use Policies which prohibits use of your facilities for copyright infringement, see https://help.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-acceptable-use-policies  
+  
+   
+  
+We are providing this notice based on our good faith belief that the use of motion pictures and television programs owned by the MPA Member Studios in the manner occurring via King Club X is not authorized by the copyright owners, their agents, or the law. The information in this notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, we are authorized to act on behalf of the MPA Member Studios, which own or control exclusive rights under copyright that are being infringed in the manner described herein. This letter is without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the MPA Member Studios and their affiliates, all of which are expressly reserved.
