Hello Team,
My name is [private] and I am [private] of Developers in Pijamas development group and I represent our copyrighted material which is a game server code and other compiled binaries used to run a multiplayer MMORPG "Black Desert Online" game server.
It has recently come to our attention that our source code, or derivations of it have been made available, (the "Infringing Code") which is being used to operate illegal private servers to permit access to versions of our clients Games, which are subject to copyright protection and various access-control measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to and/or use of the the infringing code on non-client servers.
The Infringing code has been made available without the consent or authorization of the owner and its publication, manipulation and use by third parties constitutes an infringing derivative work under the Copyright Act. Moreover the infringing code no doubt was obtained by interrupting the encrypted communication that exists between the consumer-side and the server-side of proprietary game code, or by directly hacking, or otherwise obtaining the server-side code constituting the anti-circumvention of the DMCA and likely the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
This letter shall serve as your notice pursuant to the Digital Milennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA”) that my rights are being violated.
I provide the following information and statements relevant for this request under the DMCA:
- Use of our game code constitutes an unauthorized emulation of "Black Desert Online" game server to grant ability to host a game server on specific hardware.
- Unauthorized use of assets, asset modification that grants ability to play on a hosted "Black Desert Online" server with clients hardware.
The infringing code is being publicly available on GitHub without the consent or authorization of the owner at the following links and is designed to provide access:
I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice. I am providing this notice in good faith and with the reasonable belief that rights I own are being infringed. Under penalty of perjury I certify that the information contained in the notification is both true and accurate, and I have the supreme authority to act on behalf of myself, who is the lawful owner of the copyright(s) involved.
We are seeking GitHub immediate assistance in stopping the unauthorized and infringing activity described above. Specifically, we request that GitHub immediately remove the infringing code from their servers.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
Sincerely,
[private]
