Re: DMCA Takedown Notice For https://github.com/implydata/imply-pivot and
|
||
Notice of Repeat Infringer
|
||
|
||
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/implydata/imply-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.
|
||
|
||
The project at https://github.com/implydata/imply-pivot is a re-uploaded
|
||
copy of an infringing code repository Github has already taken down. This
|
||
re-uploaded copy remains infringing and it too should be taken down
|
||
immediately.
|
||
|
||
More specifically, on September 1, 2016, Github processed Metamarkets’
|
||
August 24, 2016 DMCA notice (viewable here: https://github.com/github/
|
||
dmca/blob/master/2016/2016-08-31-Facet.md and incorporated herein by
|
||
reference) regarding an infringing project known as Pivot, by taking down
|
||
the Pivot code repository. Metamarkets has since learned that within a
|
||
matter of hours after the Github takedown, the owner of the infringing
|
||
Pivot repository, Imply Data, re-uploaded a near-identical copy of the
|
||
infringing Pivot code repository. Imply Data gave the re-uploaded copy a
|
||
slightly different name (“Imply-Pivot” instead of “Pivot”), deleted the
|
||
contents of the first commit, and then combined the first 70 commits into a
|
||
brand new “Hello World” first commit — presumably to make it appear
|
||
different from the original infringing Pivot repository.
|
||
|
||
This new project (“Imply-Pivot”) is nearly identical to the taken down
|
||
project (“Pivot”) and continues to infringe Metamarkets’ copyrights in its
|
||
proprietary Facet software.
|
||
|
||
Imply-Pivot purportedly is owned by Imply Data. The [private] of Imply Data is
|
||
[private]. Mr. [private] is a former employee of Metamarkets who
|
||
had access to Facet, including its highly confidential and proprietary
|
||
source code, by virtue of his employment with Metamarkets. Mr. [private]
|
||
left Metamarkets’ employment in May 2015. At an unknown time in 2015, Mr.
|
||
[private] joined Imply Data.
|
||
|
||
Imply-Pivot extensively copies the nonliteral elements of Facet’s
|
||
structure, sequence and organization, as can be seen in the following
|
||
exemplary screenshots.
|
||
|
||

right.

|
||
|
||
Imply-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 Imply-Pivot, which
|
||
Imply Data then improperly open sourced on Github. The entire Imply-Pivot
|
||
repository must be taken down immediately in order to prevent further
|
||
infringement of Facet, and further harm to Metamarkets.
|
||
|
||
In light of this repeat infringement by Imply Data, and Imply Data’s
|
||
apparent strategy of defying Github takedowns by simply re-naming and
|
||
re-uploading the infringing material, Metamarkets further requests that
|
||
Github exercise its discretion to invoke its Repeat Infringer Policy by
|
||
disabling and/or terminating the accounts of users who may infringe upon
|
||
the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of GitHub and/or
|
||
others.
|
||
|
||
I have a good faith belief that use of the materials described above on the
|
||
infringing web pages is 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,
