I will submit a DMCA Takedown Notice.

SAMPLE DMCA TAKEDOWN NOTICE TEMPLATE.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — To Whom It May Concern,

The following information serves to assert my rights and request removal of allegedly infringing web content under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The following is a report, in good faith, of alleged copyright infringement. I am contacting you as the designated agent for the site upon which the infringing work currently appears. This letter is a Notice of Infringement as authorized in §512(c) of the U.S. Copyright Law.

I am the copyright owner of the works and the following is true and accurate.

  1. The original work, for which I claim copyright, appears, with my permission, at the following locations online:

{URLs WHERE YOUR ORIGNAL AUTHORIZED WORK APPEARS}

  1. Copies of my original copyrighted work are {attached/included/provided} to assist you in your evaluation and determination.

  2. The allegedly infringing {work/text/image} appears at the following location(s) online:

{URLs WHERE INFRINGING WORK IS CURRENTLY LOCATED}

  1. My contact information, as copyright holder, is as follows:

{INCLUDE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION}

  1. The information of the alleged copyright infringer is:

{INSERT WHOIS INFORMATION FOR THE SITE YOU ALLEGE IS INFRINGING}

  1. I have a good faith belief the use of the above reference copyrighted work(s) that appears on the website for which you are the designated DMCA agent is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or by law.

I declare, under penalty of perjury, this notice is true and correct and that I am the copyright owner entitled to exclusive rights which I allege are being infringed.

Signed this ________ day of ______, 20 in {INSERT CITY, STATE, COUNTY}.

{YOUR SIGNATURE/eSIGNATURE}

Filing a DMCA Takedown does not mean every instance of your copyrighted work will be removed from the internet. You will need to submit a request for all the different locations you find your work. No, that’s not awesome. But it’s how it works.

Finally, keep in mind that the alleged infringer will have access to the information provided in your takedown notice. In addition, the alleged infringer can file a counter-notice, which is basically a reply, stating why the work does not infringe your copyright. If that happens, the work will likely be reposted and you will need to pursue other measures to enforce your copyright.

Oh, look. They're scared! They took the plugin down: http://www.leetforum.cc/topic/23829/functions/5 Also, google "Leet Functions". The second result is what used to be the copied plugin

remotevase avatar Jan 24 '17 21:01 remotevase

@MCUnderground I see that you are part of this team, and a leet intern. Please take down the Functions plugin as soon as possible

Spreading the word about Functions

Hello there everybody! Unfortunately, this plugin (Functions) is just one of many copyright infringements of plugins that leet provides. Any further use of the Functions plugin can result in copyright infringement notices, DMCA Takedown Notices, and numerous other legal actions. The plugin was originally made by the BoxOfDevs team (https://github.com/BoxOfDevs/Functions), with the BoxOfDevs Licence which clearly states (https://github.com/BoxOfDevs/Functions/blob/master/LICENSE#L25) that both the user and the author cannot Sell any part of The Software/The Modification for profit. Unfortunately, might I add, This plugin was originally created for the ImagicalMine community forums, where all plugins are redistributed for FREE and at the owner's consent. On leet.cc, however, the plugin is being sold for a profit. This is going against the License. Spread the word.

Are you sure it's the same plugin? https://wiki.mcpeservermaker.com/Custom_Commands Or did they just change "rm" to "rf"?

HimbeersaftLP avatar Jan 25 '17 05:01 HimbeersaftLP

A plugin called "functions" which has the same commands and that does the same thing is our plugin. And if it's modified, it's distributing any part of the software issue.

It's called "Custom Commands" but they didn't even change the command from /functions to something else xD

@remotevase submit it to them(leet.cc), if they don't reply maybe submit to amazon?

k3ithos avatar Jan 25 '17 21:01 k3ithos

amazon?! What?!

remotevase avatar Jan 25 '17 22:01 remotevase

They host their servers on amazon I believe...

k3ithos avatar Jan 25 '17 22:01 k3ithos

It says godaddy

remotevase avatar Jan 25 '17 22:01 remotevase

@remotevase GoDaddy is their domain provider. The nameservers point to the Amazon cloud.

Oh, I understand, thanks

remotevase avatar Jan 26 '17 02:01 remotevase

WTF, why did GitHub assign this labels to the wrong issue -_-

HimbeersaftLP avatar Jan 26 '17 17:01 HimbeersaftLP

Hah IDK

remotevase avatar Jan 26 '17 17:01 remotevase

Lol. BTW, I think mcpeservermaker is scared, they didn't approve the thread.

Vaultleaper avatar Jan 26 '17 17:01 Vaultleaper

Which thread? Lol

HimbeersaftLP avatar Jan 26 '17 17:01 HimbeersaftLP

You can't see it. They denied it. :P

Confused? Ok, they hid the thread.

Vaultleaper avatar Jan 26 '17 17:01 Vaultleaper

What a colorful issue xD

HimbeersaftLP avatar Jan 26 '17 17:01 HimbeersaftLP

@Ultie0 don't even bother on the forums, just send them a DMCA takedown request to scare them even more :P

k3ithos avatar Jan 26 '17 21:01 k3ithos

And for leet maybe just submit a support ticket http://support.leet.cc/

k3ithos avatar Jan 26 '17 21:01 k3ithos

Hi,

I'm replying here on behalf of MCPE Server Maker. We don't use any of the code in this repository, our plugin was merely inspired by yours.

As for Leet, I'm not sure, you'd have to ask them directly.

@Renual1337 oh really? and what proof would you have to prove your point?
