Are you the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf?
Yes, we are authorized to act on Nintendo of America Inc.'s behalf.
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.
What has been infringed in question are Nintendo of America Inc.'s private code for the product(s) known as Flipnote Studio 3D and Miiverse.
What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository's URL: https://github.com/Flipnote-Collective/flipnote-studio-3d-docs.
https://github.com/Flipnote-Collective/flipnote-studio-docs.
https://github.com/Flipnote-Collective/kwz-parser.
These three entire repositories relate to the unauthorized recreation of Nintendo's Flipnote Gallery: World and Nintendo's Flipnote Hatena.
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.
Yes, we found and would like all the following forks taken down for the same infringing copyright:
https://github.com/thejsa/kwz-parser
https://github.com/yazici/kwz-parser
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?
We believe that the Flipnote Collective are in violation of the Flipnote Gallery: World EULA and the Flipnote Hatena EULA. We also believe that the Flipnote Collective is in violation of Section 103(f) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) which specifically states "it is legal to reverse engineer and circumvent the protection to achieve interoperability between computer programs (such as information transfer between applications)." The Flipnote Collective did not follow this section and also violated 2 EULA's so therefore the reverse engineering is illegal. Interoperability is defined in paragraph 4 of Section 103(f). It is also often lawful to reverse-engineer an artifact or process as long as it is obtained legitimately however the Flipnote Collective did not get their files legitimately or with permission of Nintendo of America Inc.
What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there specific changes the other person can make other than removal?
