Tell HN: GitHub refuses to remove cracked copies of my software after a month
The developer of Photopea.com, a web-based photo editor, reports that GitHub has refused to remove cracked copies of their software for over a month. These unauthorized repositories are causing reputational damage, as users complain about issues in versions not hosted on Photopea.com. The developer suspects their removal requests are being automatically dismissed and is considering legal action outside the digital realm.
