I have submitted a counter-notice via email to dmca@huggingface.co, along with screenshots of my direct correspondence with Black Forest Labs — the actual and only copyright holder of FLUX.2 Klein 9B.
Let me be very clear about what is happening here:
The person filing this DMCA claim has zero copyright ownership over FLUX.2 Klein 9B or any of its derivatives. That copyright belongs exclusively to @black-forest-labs. This individual's own model is a derivative of FLUX.2 Klein 9B, released under the FLUX Non-Commercial License a fact they openly acknowledge in their own CivitAI model description.
Despite this, they are commercially selling their derivative on Whop, in direct violation of the Non-Commercial License. And now they are abusing the DMCA process to suppress other people's legitimate, non-commercial use of the same base model.
I am already in direct contact with @black-forest-labs, who are fully aware of this individual and their license violations. I have now also informed them that this person is filing fraudulent DMCA takedowns on Hugging Face, claiming rights they do not have over a model they do not own.
@black-forest-labs as the actual copyright holder —has been notified about this situation on your platform.
