DMCA Infringement Notice
|
|
|
|
I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.
|
|
|
|
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 am re-sending this request from my business email. You will find that
|
|
I sent another copy on July 8 from [private]. I hope this message
|
|
will supersede the original, and also encourage speedy compliance.
|
|
|
|
My name is [private]. I am the [private] of BYOND Software. My
|
|
site can be found here:
|
|
|
|
http://www.byond.com
|
|
|
|
[private], who uses the name "Redict" on your service, has uploaded
|
|
several repositories designed to circumvent security measures,
|
|
encryption, and other parts of my software, and show others how to do
|
|
so, in violation of federal copyright law under the Digital Millennium
|
|
Copyright Act. The infringing repositories are found at the following
|
|
URLs:
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/Redict/RSCDepacker
|
|
https://github.com/Redict/ByondSpoofer
|
|
https://github.com/Redict/ByondLoader
|
|
https://github.com/Redict/ByondNoAD
|
|
https://github.com/Redict/byondapi
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
One of the above repositories represents a direct threat to my business
|
|
revenue and therefore could incur actual legal damages. Others threaten
|
|
the security of either my software, or the people who use it to create
|
|
and host games.
|
|
|
|
In specific, these are the ways in which the entries infringe:
|
|
|
|
RSCDepacker: Decrypts resource files sent from server to client,
|
|
allowing arbitrary users access to a game's art and sound resources.
|
|
ByondSpoofer: Used to spoof a user's identity by intercepting system
|
|
calls used to determine a (theoretically) unique hardware ID. Spoofing
|
|
in this way can circumvent bans enacted by game hosts.
|
|
ByondLoader: Compiles a fake wsock32.dll replacement, used subsequently
|
|
for spoofing purposes.
|
|
ByondNoAD: BYOND Software relies partly on ad revenue from ads shown
|
|
before a game is played, unless that user is a member of the site. This
|
|
project alters the software to bypass ads altogether. The problem with
|
|
this is twofold: 1) It bypasses a restriction placed on the usage of the
|
|
software, and 2) it creates an illegally modified copy of the software
|
|
to do so. This has been deployed by at least one game creator to create
|
|
an illegally modified version.
|
|
byondapi: Used as a general library for manipulating BYOND software, and
|
|
is used by the ByondSpoofer repository above. In specific, this library
|
|
is used to bypass the normal login process for the BYOND hub, a central
|
|
server that manages players, which normally requires an application in
|
|
the BYOND suite referred to as the BYOND pager.
|
|
|
|
All of the above are designed to circumvent either encryption or access
|
|
restrictions within the BYOND software, or facilitate other programs in
|
|
doing so. There is no modification that may be done to the above
|
|
repositories to remedy the infringement. They are infringing in their
|
|
entirety, and as the copyright owner I demand their expeditious and
|
|
permanent removal.
|
|
|
|
If you should require any further information please do not hesitate to
|
|
contact me by email at [private]. Please contact me immediately if
|
|
this notification is not in substantial compliance with the requirements
|
|
of the DMCA or Github's filing policy, or if some other problem arises
|
|
with respect to my request. I would also request notification of your
|
|
compliance with my request.
