+Hello,
+
+I have read and understand Github's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.
+
+I'm a professor at Swarthmore College
+(http://web.cs.swarthmore.edu/~kwebb/), and one of my former students
+has code from my course in several public GitHub repositories. The user
+name of the student is 'wschnei1', [private]. The offending
+repositories are the ones named "lab5", "lab6", and "lab7". Much of the
+code for these labs was provided to the student, who was asked to fill
+in specific parts. The student was also told not to share the code
+publicly, be he appears to have done so anyway.
+
+I have made multiple attempts to contact this student, but he has not
+responded to my emails. He's in a bit of a weird situation in which he
+is not currently on campus, but he hasn't graduated yet either, so I
+can't contact him in person as I would like to.
+
+Ideally, these three repositories would be made private, which our
+department's policies allow. This is what many other students in our
+department have done, since you give free private repositories for
+educational code (thank you!).
+
+If making the repositories private is not an option, then I would like
+them to be taken down altogether.
+
+I'll go through each repository to identify code:
+
+1) https://github.com/wschnei1/lab5
+
+The infringing files are 1000lines, Makefile, lab5.c, lab5.h,
+lab5_receiver.c, and lab5_sender.c.
+
+The other files (.bash_profile, .gitignore, README, and output) are not
+infringing.
+
+2) https://github.com/wschnei1/lab6
+
+(Note: This was an extension of lab 5, so the file names are basically
+the same.)
+
+The infringing files are 1000lines, Makefile, lab6.c, lab6.h,
+lab6_receiver.c, and lab6_sender.c.
+
+The other files (.gitignore, README, and output) are not infringing.
+
+3) https://github.com/wschnei1/lab7
+
+There is a ton of code in this repository. Most of it is a direct copy
+of the starter code that I provided. This includes everything in the
+directories http_server1, http_server2, pox, pox_module, and router,
+with the exception of some binary/object files that he committed for no
+apparent reason. In the root of the repository, this also includes
+everything except for README.md and ltprotocol-*
+
+Much of the code is uninteresting boilerplate. The stuff that I really
+DON'T want to be online lives in 'router', in particular: sr_router.c
+and '\' (the name of the file is just a backslash, and it appears to be
+a copy of sr_router.c).
+
+You can contact me via...
