Please treat this as my complete revised DMCA takedown notice. + +I am authorized to act on behalf of Dialsoft LLC, the current copyright owner of The 4th Coming, regarding unauthorized distribution of its proprietary source code and copyrighted game materials. + +The copyrighted work at issue is the proprietary source code for The 4th Coming version 1.72 Windows game client, originally developed for Vircom and now owned by Dialsoft LLC, together with proprietary client runtime materials distributed with the official T4C client. + +This copyrighted work includes the original Windows client source tree, Visual Studio solution and project files, game client implementation code, rendering and asset-loading code, networking and client protocol code, user interface code, and related client-side source files that comprise the T4C 1.72 Windows client. + +The original source code is proprietary, is owned by Dialsoft LLC, and was not released under an open-source license or otherwise authorized for public redistribution on GitHub. + +The original proprietary source code is not lawfully published online by Dialsoft LLC, so there is no public URL I can provide for the original source repository. Dialsoft LLC can provide original source materials or other evidence of ownership if GitHub requires verification. + +The infringing repository is: + +https://github.com/elestranobaron/t4c-client-linux + +The infringement is the unauthorized public reproduction and distribution of proprietary T4C 1.72 client source code and related copyrighted client materials. + +The repository itself identifies its client/ directory as “Source Vircom 1.72 (build Windows)” and identifies the T4C Client 1.72 Windows source tree and Visual Studio solution. It also refers to runtime assets taken from the original T4C 1.72 client. + +Representative infringing locations include: + +https://github.com/elestranobaron/t4c-client-linux/tree/main/client + +https://github.com/elestranobaron/t4c-client-linux/blob/main/client/T4C%20Client.sln + +and the source files, project files, and related copyrighted client materials contained beneath the repository's client/ directory. + +My complaint is not about independent reimplementation of game functionality, compatibility work, use of the T4C name alone, or general game concepts. The complaint concerns the unauthorized reproduction and public distribution of Dialsoft LLC's proprietary original T4C client source code and copyrighted client materials. + +Scope of requested removal + +I am requesting removal of the entire repository: + +https://github.com/elestranobaron/t4c-client-linux + +because the repository is structured around, incorporates, builds, documents, and publicly redistributes the unauthorized proprietary T4C 1.72 client source code. + +The original copyrighted work is not licensed under an open-source license. + +I have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted materials described above is not authorized by Dialsoft LLC, its agents, 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 authorized to act on behalf of Dialsoft LLC, the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. + +I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice. + +Copyright owner: Dialsoft LLC +Authorized representative: [private] +GitHub account: [private] +Telephone: [private] +Email: [private] +Physical address: [private] + +Electronic signature: +/s/ [private] + +Regards, +[private]
