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 wrote the code in this repository.
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.
This is code I wrote about a year ago (you can see my name in the commits) which I would like to be taken down because it could aid in the piracy of Windows by indirectly circumventing its activation system. I realized this and deleted the original repository but this person forked it before I did that. I do not want this repo associated with me because of the potential for its use in piracy.
What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.
https://github.com/Prodject/HiddenEditionInstaller
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.
There are no forks.
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?
The repository is ostensibly under an open source license, but it contains files extracted from the activation system of Windows which are the property of Microsoft, and that I did not have the authority to license myself. Therefore the licensing of this repository is actually invalid, and it should not be considered as open source.
The invalidly licensed files are all the folders here except for run.bat: https://github.com/Prodject/HiddenEditionInstaller/tree/master/data
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?
Ideally, given the possible uses of this code, the repository should be deleted. However, I suppose that the person could make the repository private or delete the "data" folder from the repository if they wanted to.
Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.
No, I do not.
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.
