Dear Sir or Madam,

I am an attorney for KRAFTON, Inc. ("KRAFTON"), the creator and exclusive owner of all intellectual property rights, including copyrights and trademarks, related to PUBG: Black Budget ("the Game").

 
It has come to our attention that you are engaging in unauthorized activities involving the use of KRAFTON's copyrighted materials, trademarks, characters, and other protected content from the game, without obtaining our prior written consent.

These actions constitute a violation of applicable copyright and trademark laws.

 
Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), I formally request the immediate removal or disabling of access to the infringing materials:

 
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed:
PUBG: Black Budget, including but not limited to its images, videos, data, characters, and other associated content.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4077740/PUBG_Black_Budget/

 
Identification of the infringing material and its location:
https://files.catbox.moe/6dp5uy.mp4

 
Contact information of the complaining party:
Name: Jangmin Park
Company: KRAFTON, Inc.
Address: 231 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea
Email: patent@krafton.com / krafton_legal_ip@krafton.com
 

Good faith statement:
I have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
 

Accuracy and authority statement:
I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notice is accurate and that I am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
 

Signature:
/s/ Jangmin Park
 

Please remove or disable access to the identified infringing material promptly in accordance with your obligations under the DMCA.

 
To give you some further background, the Game is still in development, and we conducted a closed test earlier this year.

The participants in the test signed NDAs and agreed not to upload gameplay footage externally; however, we found that some testers uploaded gameplay videos to Catbox and then made posts on Reddit.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. All rights reserved.
