DMCA takedown Notice
We received a DMCA takedown notice from the representatives of Parfumo (link) alleging that materials in this repository uploaded by you infringe their copyright.
When we receive a DMCA notice, we are required to remove access to the allegedly infringing materials.
@FragDBnet , You may submit a counter notice if you believe the takedown request is unfounded. Please send it over to dmca@huggingface.co and we will forward it to the reporter. A sample counter-notice can be found at https://www.copyright.gov/512/sample-counter-notice.pdf.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Thank you,
The Hugging Face Team
Dear Hugging Face Team,
Thank you for your message regarding the DMCA takedown notice.
We would like to formally state that the repository in question does not contain any data sourced from Parfumo. No materials from Parfumo have been copied, scraped, or otherwise used in this project. Therefore, we believe the allegation of copyright infringement is unfounded.
We respectfully request clarification on the specific content that is claimed to infringe, as well as any evidence supporting this claim. We are fully open to reviewing the matter in detail and cooperating to resolve any misunderstanding.
Given the current information, we consider this to be a false claim and are prepared to submit a formal counter-notice if necessary.
Please let us know how you would like to proceed.
Kind regards,
FragDBnet]
Dear Hugging Face Team,
Following up on our previous message, we would like to provide additional clarification regarding the allegations.
Our dataset is fundamentally different from Parfumo in both structure and scope. For example, Parfumo operates with only two languages, whereas our database supports 23 languages, with independently structured and processed content.
Additionally, our repository contains a wide range of data points and attributes that are not present on Parfumo at all. This includes extended metadata, custom classifications, and enriched informational layers developed independently for our system.
These differences clearly demonstrate that our dataset is not derived from Parfumo and could not reasonably be considered a copy or reproduction of their materials.
We remain open to reviewing any specific claims or examples of alleged infringement, but based on the current information, we see no factual basis for the complaint.
Kind regards,
FragDBnet
Thanks a million for the detailed explanation 🙏
As a hosting platform, we are legally required to remove content upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice. However, we can reinstate access if we receive the corresponding counter notice and the complainant does not file a lawsuit within the applicable timeframe. If you believe the content was removed in error, please submit a counter notice to dmca@huggingface.co, and we will re-enable access to the content if the process is completed successfully.
Thank you again for your reactivity and your cooperation
Hi,
We have received your counter-notice and informed the reporter.
We will wait 14 days and re-enable your content unless they inform us that they initiated legal action against you before then.
Kind regards,
The huggingFace Team
