Developer says GitHub won't remove cracked software copies
Original: Tell HN: GitHub refuses to remove cracked copies of my software after a month
A developer says GitHub has refused for a month to take down repositories hosting cracked copies of his software, despite takedown requests. The complaint has sparked discussion about how effectively GitHub handles piracy reports and how much recourse small independent developers have when their copyrighted software is redistributed without permission.
Why now: It touches a nerve among developers about DMCA enforcement and GitHub's handling of piracy complaints.
