Subject: Copyright Infringement Report for Dataset on Hugging Face


Dear Hugging Face Support Team,

I am writing to formally report a copyright violation concerning the unauthorized upload of my open-source training dataset under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 (CC BY-NC 4.0) license.

Details of the Original Dataset:

  • Name: Moemu/Muice-Dataset
  • License: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 (CC BY-NC 4.0)
  • Link to Original Dataset: Moemu/Muice-Dataset

Infringing Dataset:

  • Name: yavon/muxue
  • Link to Infringing Dataset: yavon/muxue

Violation Description:

  1. The dataset yavon/muxue appears to be a direct copy or derivative of my dataset without proper attribution. (Similar to the content of train.jsonl in commit fc67f8f36094d70e5256c623bedd6ce8a214f1c2, except for a simple change in the format of the training set)
  2. The infringing dataset does not mention me (the original creator) or provide a link to the original dataset as required under the CC BY-NC 4.0 license.
  3. There is no indication that the infringing dataset complies with the attribution requirements outlined in the license.

Request for Action:
I kindly request that you investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with licensing requirements, which may include:

  • Adding proper attribution and links to the original dataset (Moemu/Muice-Dataset),
  • Or removing the infringing dataset if compliance cannot be achieved.

Statement of Accuracy and Authorization:
I hereby confirm that the information provided in this report is accurate to the best of my knowledge, and under penalty of perjury, I affirm that I am authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner of the dataset Moemu/Muice-Dataset.

Thank you for your attention and assistance in this matter. I am happy to provide additional information if required.

Best regards,
Moemu
