Re: DMCA Takedown Notice For https://github.com/OBSLabs/pivot
To Whom It May Concern:
I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.
I am writing to request that Github take down the project at the following link: https://github.com/OBSLabs/pivot.
This project infringes the copyright of Metamarkets Group, Inc. in the proprietary, interactive visualization software called Facet, described at https://metamarkets.com/2015/introducing-facet/. 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 is a fork of the infringing Pivot repository, and entirely duplicates version 0.8.40 of Pivot (with one line of code difference per a minor commit), 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,
