City of London Police, Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU) deals with copyright infringement in hard goods and online infringement. We enforce UK laws in relation to infringement of brand owners/ copyright holder and their representatives. We deal with complaints from brands/ movies/ music/ gaming and software industries.

**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.**

PIPCU have received a complaint from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in regard to a Github subdomain proxybay.github.io, which is facilitating access to torrent sites that allow access to copyright infringing content. This site is in breach of UK law, namely Copyright, Design & Patents Act 1988, Offences under the Fraud Act 2006 and Conspiracy to Defraud.

We request that you review your processes to see if you provide a service for the identified domain(s)/ subdomain. If so, we would ask you to review the terms and conditions on the basis of which that service is provided and withdraw or suspend the service if you are satisfied that the terms and conditions have been breached.

Suspension of the domain(s) is intended to prevent further crime. Where possible we request that domain suspension(s) are made within 48 hours of receipt of this Alert.

PIPCU have reviewed the evidence of infringement provided by BPI independently and agree the subdomain is breaching UK laws.

We request you suspend the domain(s) for a minimum period of 12 months or until the end of the customer’s contract, whichever comes sooner.
In respect of the information provided by us, we respectfully ask you to consider your liability and the wider public interest should those services be allowed to continue.

**What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.**

Please see our <a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/guide-to-submitting-a-dmca-takedown-notice#complaints-about-anti-circumvention-technology">Complaints about Anti-Circumvention Technology</a> if you are unsure.**

**Is the work licensed under an open source license?**

No

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