Photopea developer says GitHub has not taken down cracked copies
What happened
According to an October 7 report, the Photopea developer says people used AI models to modify the Photopea site's JavaScript, producing ad-free copies of the software and publishing them on GitHub, with dozens of such repositories. Some users ran these copies, hit problems, and complained to the developer. He says he filed DMCA takedown notices with GitHub, but a month later the copies were still up. The report frames this as GitHub still refusing to take them down; it gives no response from GitHub.
