Hi @GoodBaiBai88
Would you mind chiming in here?

@Drjermy Thank you for reporting, if you are not able to come to a resolution here, could you please forward us a DMCA takedown notice so we can help you move this along?

It's ridiculous that I have to spend time writing a formal take-down notice when the author of this dataset hasn't even had the courtesy to respond to my original message or a message from the admin of HuggingFace. Pretty unimpressed with that process @no-mad

Hi @GoodBaiBai88

We received a DMCA takedown notice from the representatives of Radiopaedia (link) alleging that materials in this repository uploaded by you infringe their copyright.

Authors of the repository, we invite you to promptly inform us if you intend to challenge the claim by submitting a counter-notice.

When we receive a DMCA notice, we are required to remove access to the allegedly infringing materials.

If you believe the takedown request is unfounded, you may submit a counternotice. Please let us know if you intend to file a counterclaim, and we will provide you with the contact information for the company representatives.

Thank you,

@no-mad Hello, the authors of M3D have stated that they have official license approval from Radiopaedia. Would you consider restoring the usage rights for this dataset? This dataset is very important for research in the related field.

I have reviewed our data agreements, and while there is not one from @GoodBaiBai88 , there is an agreement signed by Bo Zhao last week (who has referenced their affiliation in a prior email). In the other thread, I have asked for confirmation that this is the agreement they refer to.

In the signed data agreement, Section 4 (Prohibition on Redistribution) states explicitly: "Publishing results does not grant you or third parties the right to redistribute the dataset or derivatives beyond what is necessary to explain or support the results." So, while they may have a retrospective signed agreement to use the data, this agreement specifically prohibits redistribution.
