Are you the copyright holder or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf?

Yes, I am authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.

I work for the copyright owner, 3T Software Labs Limited.

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.

We sell a commercial software product, Studio 3T, the professional GUI for MongoDB. We offer a free 30-day trial which is available on our Download page: https://studio3t.com/download/. After the 30-day trial, users can purchase a Core, Pro, or Enterprise license from our Buy page: https://studio3t.com/buy/.

We've set up license checks at the end of the 30-day trial to effectively control access to our copyrighted material.

We've seen multiple GitHub projects that have circumvented these license checks by manually tweaking the 30-day trial timestamps and bypassing the license checks, or publishing step-by-step instructions on how to hack the 30-day free trial so that users can illegally use the trial license forever. This is in violation of our software's End User License Agreement.

"The Customer is entitled to a 30 day free trial of the Software (other than Non Commercial Edition Software Software) for the purposes of deciding whether or not the Software meets its requirements (“Evaluation Period”)."

"Before or upon expiry of the Evaluation Period: "If the Customer decides that the Software does not meet its requirements, or otherwise does not wish to enter into a paid up Subscription, then the Customer shall destroy the Software and all copies, in any form including partial copies or modifications of the Software received from the Supplier or made in connection with this Subscription and all Documentation relating thereto. Any rights granted to the Customer to use the Software shall cease."

"The Customer "shall not reproduce, modify, adapt, merge, translate, disassemble, decompile, recompile or reverse engineer the Software or create derivative works based on the whole of or any part of the Software..."

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.

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?

All users are violating our software's End User License Agreement: https://files.studio3t.com/eula/eula.pdf

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?

We would appreciate if all instructions, repositories, files, and GitHub.io posts that relate to hacking/cracking our software (Studio 3T) are removed from GitHub.

Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.

No.

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.
