GitHub Support

This GitHub repository contains the text of DMCA takedown notices and counter-notices received by GitHub. The purpose is to promote transparency and document the potential chilling effect of these notices on speech. Posting a notice does not imply guilt or wrongdoing and is for informational purposes only. The repository provides annotations to help understand the processing of the notice, including notifications sent to repository owners to make changes before disabling content. The repository does not accept pull requests or contributions. Copyright owners can submit takedown notices using GitHub's special Copyright Claims Contact Form, and repository owners who have been taken down have the option to either make changes to remove infringing content or contest the takedown by submitting a counter-notice. GitHub encourages developers to advocate for changes in copyright law and public policy to support software development.
