While GitHub did not find sufficient information to determine a valid anti-circumvention claim, we determined that this takedown notice contains other valid copyright claim(s).

---

**Are you the copyright holder or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf? If you are submitting this notice on behalf of a company, please be sure to use an email address on the company's domain. If you use a personal email address for a notice submitted on behalf of a company, we may not be able to process it.**

Yes, I am the copyright holder.

**Are you submitting a revised DMCA notice after GitHub Trust & Safety requested you make changes to your original notice?**

No

**Does your claim involve content on GitHub or npm.js?**

GitHub

**Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.**

I am the [private] [private], [private], and legal owner of the "VK Styles" browser extension. [private] hold all copyrights to the source code, branding, and original content associated with this software.

**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed.**

The copyrighted work is a browser extension named "VK Styles" designed for customizing the interface of the VK social network. It includes original JavaScript logic for theme application and a subscription-based access system for premium features. The infringing repository contains a "cracked" version of [private] extension, where[private]my proprietary license verification code has been illegally modified or removed to bypass payment requirements and distribute paid features for free without [private] authorization.

**If the original work referenced above is available online, please provide a URL.**

**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/Timik232/vk-styles-cleaned

**Do you claim to have any technological measures in place to control access to your copyrighted content? Please see our Complaints about Anti-Circumvention Technology if you are unsure.**

Yes

**What technological measures do you have in place and how do they effectively control access to your copyrighted material?**

The extension implements a server-side and client-side license verification mechanism. It requires a unique user identifier to check against a remote database to confirm an active paid subscription. If no valid subscription is found, the extension restricts access to premium features and themes, effectively protecting the commercial part of [private] software.

**How is the accused project designed to circumvent your technological protection measures?**

The accused repository contains a modified ("cracked") version of the extension's source code. The developers of this repository have identified the specific JavaScript functions responsible for the license check and have manually altered them. By stripping out the verification logic or forcing it to return a positive result regardless of actual subscription status, they have bypassed my technological protection measures, allowing users to access paid content illegally.

**If you are reporting an allegedly infringing fork, please note that each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately. Please read more about forks. 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?**

No

**What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement?**

Reported content must be removed

**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 fair use 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.**
