What is on this site

Visitors can't upload files to FlappyBird100. The only thing players add is the name they choose for the leaderboard. Everything else was added by PLAY100, which runs the site: the game, its graphics and sounds, the screenshots, the text and the site design. Game names and logos belong to their owners.

The game is an unofficial version styled after Flappy Bird, which Dong Nguyen made and .GEARS released in 2013 (Forbes, February 11, 2014). This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by Dong Nguyen, .GEARS or Flappy Bird LLC.

How to send a copyright notice

Email your notice to contact@play100.io with "DMCA notice" in the subject. Under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)), a notice must include:

  1. your physical or electronic signature, as the copyright owner or as someone authorized to act for the owner
  2. the work you believe is being infringed
  3. the material on this site that you want removed, with the page address (URL) where it appears
  4. your contact details: name, postal address, phone number and email address
  5. a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law
  6. a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or are authorized to act for the owner

What happens next

If the notice is complete and the claim holds, PLAY100 removes the material or blocks access to it. If something is missing, PLAY100 replies to the email address in the notice.

Under section 512(f) of the same law, someone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, can be liable for damages. If you are not sure the material infringes your rights, consider getting legal advice before you send a notice.

Counter-notice

If a player name you chose was hidden or renamed after a copyright notice and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), it must include:

  1. your physical or electronic signature
  2. the material that was removed and the URL where it appeared before removal
  3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith the material was removed by mistake or misidentification
  4. your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district where PLAY100 may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice
