+I am a [private] with write permissions to the original repository. [private] [private] explicitly [private] as a copyright holder in the project's MIT LICENSE file. [private] [private] developed a big part of the project, and [private] contributions are verifiable through the commit history. See commit a8b9586 where he took us out and put himself in.
+
+**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed.**
+
+The original work is AniWorld-Downloader, an open-source media downloader for Jellyfin with 200+ stars. I [private] the project and [private] a big part of it. The project is published under the MIT License with [private], [private] and [private] ([private]) listed as copyright holders in the LICENSE file. The infringer cloned our repository (not forked), pushed it as a new repository, removed all original copyright holders from the LICENSE file, replaced our names with his own, added false attribution claiming he developed features that we built, and added a personal donation link for our work.
+
+**If the original work referenced above is available online, please provide a URL.**
+
+https://github.com/phoenixthrush/AniWorld-Downloader/tree/legacy/v3
+
+**We ask that a DMCA takedown notice list every specific file in the repository that is infringing, unless the entire contents of the repository are infringing on your copyright. Please clearly state that the entire repository is infringing, OR provide the specific files within the repository you would like removed.**
+
+**Based on the above, I confirm that:**
+
+The entire repository is infringing
+
+**Identify the full repository URL that is infringing:**
+
+https://github.com/Ayyouboss0011/Aniworld-STO-Downloader
+
+**Do you claim to have any technological measures in place to control access to your copyrighted content?

+No
+
+**If you are reporting an allegedly infringing fork, please note that each fork is a distinct repository and <i>must be identified separately</i>. Please read more about <a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/dmca-takedown-policy#b-what-about-forks-or-whats-a-fork">forks.</a> As forks may often contain different material than in the parent repository, if you believe any of the repositories or files in the forks are infringing, please list each fork URL below:**
+
+**Is the work licensed under an open source license?**
+
+Yes
+
+**Which license?**
+
+mit-license
+
+**How do you believe the license is being violated?**
+
+The MIT License requires that the original copyright notice and permission notice be included in all copies or substantial portions of the software. The infringer removed the original copyright holders from the LICENSE file and replaced them with his own name. This violates the sole condition of the MIT License, meaning the infringer no longer has a valid license to distribute the software.
+
+**What changes can be made to bring the project into compliance with the license? For example, adding attribution, adding a license, making the repository private.**
+
+The infringer must remove the entire repository. The repository is a near-complete clone of our project with our copyright notice deliberately removed, false authorship claims added, and a personal donation link soliciting money for our work. The infringer has demonstrated bad faith by actively misrepresenting himself as the author on [private] and by removing the original copyright holders from the LICENSE. Simply restoring attribution would not remedy the pattern of deliberate misrepresentation.

+**Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.**

+
+**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 <a href="https://www.lumendatabase.org/topics/22">fair use</a> into consideration.**
+
+**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.**
