Facet was developed +internally at Metamarkets and Metamarkets holds the copyright thereto. +Facet is only available to Metamarkets customers who purchase a license to +use Facet. + +An explanation of how and why Pivot infringes Metamarkets’ copyright in its +proprietary Facet software can be found in Metamarkets’ August 24, 2016 +DMCA notice to Github (viewable at +https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2016/2016-08-31-Facet.md, and +incorporated herein by reference), which was processed with a takedown of +Pivot on September 1, 2016. + +The project found at https://github.com/OBSLabs/pivot-bin is a fork of the +infringing Pivot repository, and entirely duplicates version 0.8.40 of +Pivot, which includes the infringing elements of Pivot referenced in +Metamarkets’ August 24, 2016 DMCA notice regarding Pivot. + +This infringing fork of Pivot is causing immense harm to Metamarkets. +Facet is Metamarkets’ flagship proprietary SaaS product. Imply Data has +impermissibly copied its structure, sequence and organization in the form +of Pivot, which Imply Data then improperly open sourced on Github, and +which other users then forked. This entire fork of the Pivot repository +must be taken down immediately in order to prevent further infringement of +Facet, and further harm to Metamarkets. + +I have a good faith belief that use of the materials described above on the +infringing web pages are not authorized by Metamarkets Group, Inc., or its +agent, or the law. + +I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this +notification is accurate and that I am authorized to act on behalf of the +owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. + +Sincerely, + +[private] + + +[private] +[private] | METAMARKETS +m [private] | t [private] +[private]
