Excuse me? Someone stole bilibili's code base and/or private keys and published it to github. How is it abuse to try and get that taken down?

Not sure either. Ownership of the code could belong to the leaker.

What? That doesn't seem likely, given that in almost all scenarios you're assigning copyright to your employer..

Why do you think that the DMCA would lead to some sort of deletion of repositories that was sent over a wire to a website that the DMCA was meant to be into?

It's not a simple case either. But it feels a bit strange that there aren't any links to this kind of DMCA takedown. It seems strange that a company like BitBucket would even have this kind of information without the DMCA notice.

Or maybe I'm just a cynic.

This letter seems like it was hastily written and sent out in quite a hurry.

You would think it would be faster to just change the keys. Although looking at the repo the credentials they are worried about getting leaked are "admin" "admin"

Heard about this a couple days ago, crazy stuff. For those who don't know, bilibili is a massive video hosting platform in China aimed toward the younger generation. So the question is who leaked it and why? Just a disgruntled employee or the effect of 996?

What is 996?

hubot (a Github bot) automatically publishes DMCA takedown requests into the repo [1] in question. [1] https://github.com/github/dmca/

According to this repo Symantec just filed a DMCA notice to Android source code about a week ago: https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2019/04/2019-04-0... Crazy.

What android source code? It's a repos called android_test of some user.

This seems to have been the main factor - com/symantec/mobilesecurity - in the code.

Seems like a misuse of DMCA to me. Chinese company misusing powerful acts in USA.

Excuse me? Someone stole bilibili's code base and/or private keys and published it to github. How is it abuse to try and get that taken down?

My guess is they somehow believe that because the DMCA is a US law, only US companies can invoke it legally.

Why crazy? They do list every .. folder (and call them 'repositories'), which is probably stupid. But

https://github.com/shil99/android_test/tree/master/external/...

literally has their name in the path/package name, so it isn't crazy (unless you know more?) to believe that this was stolen/reverse engineered Symantec code, no? At LEAST it's a very confusing and misleading directory tree for a random repository?

Files below src/ should be sources, not a 3rd party Symantec lib or whatever, so I'd give them the benefit of the doubt here.
