+**Are you the owner of the content that has been disabled, or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf?**
+
+Yes, I am the content owner.
+
+**Please describe the nature of your content ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.**
+
+I have read and understand GitHub's Guide to Filing a DMCA Counter Notice.
+
+Someone from [private], supposedly acting on behalf of [private] Publisher, Pearson Education, took down the official GitHub repository for [private] book "Java SE 8 for Programmers" for which [private] the [private]. The supporting materials for ALL [private] Pearson books--not the books themselves--are posted via [private] GitHub repositories at [private].
+
+It is CRITICAL that [private] readers have access to these materials and I demand that [private] repository be restored immediately.
+
+**What files were taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.**
+
+https://github.com/pdeitel/JavaSE8forProgrammers
+
+**Do you want to make changes to your repository or do you want to dispute the notice?**
+
+Dispute the notice.
+
+**Is there anything else you think we should know about why you believe the material was removed as a result of a mistake?**
+
+I am the [private] of the book and [private] [private] GitHub page is where ALL [private] readers worldwide get the example code that goes with [private] books.
+
+Whoever this [private] organization is has no idea of the damage they're doing by automated scanning and sending of removal notices.
+
+Had they done even the simplest bit of research they would have seen that the book was not posted in [private] GitHub repo and that it was just the supporting materials, and that [private] am the [private] of the book!
+
+**I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.**
+
+**I consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located (if in the United States, otherwise the Northern District of California where GitHub is located), and I will accept service of process from the person who provided the DMCA notification or an agent of such person.**
