Are you the copyright holder or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf?
Yes, I am the copyright holder.
Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.
I am a college professor. A student in my class put some of the class material on a public github repo.
This is a serious problem, because it contains files that should not be exposed to students currently in the class.
I assume this was done unintentionally (a lot of students use Github to collaborate with their project partners).
Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.
I am the copyright owner to most of these code files, which I wrote for my class.
What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.
https://github.com/swalpa/CS4780
Have you searched for any forks of the allegedly infringing files or repositories? Each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately if you believe it is infringing and wish to have it taken down.
This is a fork of another repo (this person's project partner) that was already taken down.
Is the work licensed under an open source license? If so, which open source license? Are the allegedly infringing files being used under the open source license, or are they in violation of the license?
no
What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there specific changes the other person can make other than removal? Can the repository be made private?
If you could just make this repo private. (I couldn't get hold of the repo owner, who no longer seems to check is Cornell email address.)
Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.
I do have an old email address, but it seems outdated.
I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by the copyright owner, or its agent, or the law.
I have taken fair use into consideration.
I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice.
So that we can get back to you, please provide either your telephone number or physical address.
