+Dear GitHub Copyright Team,  
+  
+   
+  
+I am writing on behalf of B METERS S.R.L., Italy, regarding public GitHub repositories containing source code and materials used to reproduce substantial portions of the B METERS corporate website and associated protected materials.  
+  
+I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Notice.  
+  
+   
+  
+Reported GitHub account:  
+  
+https://github.com/ao1shib1234  
+  
+Reported repositories:  
+  
+https://github.com/ao1shib1234/areteseek-frontend  
+https://github.com/ao1shib1234/areteseek-backend  
+  
+Original B METERS website and copyrighted material:  
+  
+https://www.bmeters.com/  
+  
+The Git history provides significant evidence concerning the origin and purpose of the project.  
+  
+The initial frontend commit dated 5 April 2026:  
+  
+19a8d5339fcc3ac6c91c871d63266c4b8c92e191  
+  
+contains source-code comments explicitly describing the project as:  
+  
+"B Meters Clone"  
+  
+and:  
+  
+"Based on design analysis of https://www.bmeters.com/en/"  
+  
+The repositories contain or have contained B METERS corporate content, product information, references to B METERS resources and website assets.  
+  
+The Git history subsequently documents the progressive replacement of B METERS identity elements with [private] identity elements.  
+  
+In particular, commit:  
+  
+7e5ef6e2addec0fe1f189a586c464ec31b362ac4  
+  
+dated 25 April 2026 replaced:

+Commit:  
+  
+91aa89b7cfd6e8eeba1b48fbb54b56c95a8d5f65  
+  
+dated 12 July 2026 replaced the B METERS logo with a [private] logo.  
+  
+The backend repository is directly configured for:  
+  
+[private]  
+[private]  
+  
+The resulting website is publicly accessible and reproduces substantial B METERS corporate and product material.  
+  
+The examined relevant commits identify the configured Git author as:  
+  
+[private]  
+  
+   
+  
+B METERS S.R.L. has not authorized the reported party to reproduce or publish the protected B METERS materials identified above.  
+  
+The infringing material is located within the reported repositories and their Git history. Because the project incorporates B METERS-derived website content, assets and references throughout the implementation and historical commits, we request review of both repositories and the identified commit history.  
+  
+   
+  
+A detailed technical forensic report containing the relevant evidence, commit hashes, infrastructure relationships and timeline is attached.  
+  
+Alleged infringer information known to us:  
+  
+GitHub username: ao1shib1234  
+Configured Git author email: [private]  
+  
+I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by the copyright owner, or its agent, or the law. I have taken fair use into consideration.  
+  
+   
+  
+I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.  
+  
+We respectfully request that GitHub review the reported repositories and take appropriate action under GitHub's copyright policies.  
+  
+   
+  
+Please confirm receipt and provide the corresponding case/reference number.
