Note: Because the parent repository was actively being forked when this DMCA takedown notice was received, and the submitter had identified all known forks at the time they submitted the takedown notice, GitHub processed the takedown notice against the entire network of 9 repositories, inclusive of the parent repository.

To the GitHub DMCA Agent,

This is a notice of copyright infringement submitted under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

I am authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner (Mojang AB, a subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation). I am an [private] for Microsoft. My [private] is for Minecraft within Mojang AB.

1. I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.

2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed:
Minecraft is a global phenomenon with a significant and loyal fan base and community. In order to protect the integrity of Minecraft and the vitality of the Minecraft community, Mojang owns and enforces all intellectual property rights in and to Minecraft, including internationally-registered trademarks and copyrights in the game, game characters, and related consumer products based on the same. Mojang's trademark rights include but are not limited to common law and federally-registered rights in the MINECRAFT mark (U.S. Reg. No. 4,252,394). In addition, Mojang owns registered and unregistered copyrights in connection with Minecraft, including but not limited to U.S. Copyright Reg. Nos. VA 1-885-980, VA 1-885-976, VA 1-886-104, VA 1-885-991, VA 1-885-988, VA 1-886-003, VA 1-886-007, VA 1-885-995, VA 1-886-008, VA 1-885-983, VA 1-885-978, VA 1-885-999, VA 1-886-006, VA 1-886-005 and VA 1-885-990 for artwork and character designs featured in the game (Mojang's intellectual property rights are collectively referred to as the "Minecraft IP"). Mojang takes its intellectual property rights seriously and enforces them vigorously.

Mojang is keen to ensure that its community is treated fairly and safely, and that players and fans of Minecraft are not exploited. Mojang has therefore implemented the Minecraft EULA (https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/eula), which governs the use of Minecraft. The EULA prohibits, among other things, "giv[ing] copies of [Minecraft] to anyone else," "mak[ing] commercial use of anything [Mojang] made," and "try[ing] to make money from anything [Mojang] made."
The work is available online at: http://minecraft.net

3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing:
The following repository hosted on GitHub infringes the copyrighted work identified above:
https://github.com/dcouple/terminal-minceraft
The entire repository is infringing.

GitHub does not automatically disable forks. I have investigated the following forks and confirm each is infringing to the same extent as the parent; my sworn statements below apply to each identified fork:
- chookee / terminal-minceraft
- @Franzferdinan51 Franzferdinan51 / terminal-minceraft
- @kuzheren kuzheren / terminal-minceraft
- @Project516 Project516 / terminal-minceraft
- @saM14GH saM14GH / terminal-minceraft
- @umminuriddingreen umminuriddingreen / terminal-minceraft
Based on the representative number of forks I have reviewed, I believe that all or most of the forks are infringing to the same extent as the parent repository.

4. Action required to remedy the infringement:
The affected user must remove or disable access to the entire infringing repository content (and any identified forks). The material reproduces the copyrighted work in whole; a statement of attribution alone is not a sufficient remedy.

5. My contact information:
Name: [private]
Email: [private]
Telephone or physical address: [private]

6. Contact information for the alleged infringer:
GitHub username: dcouple.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. Signature:
[private]
