My non-expert take on this:

Haier claims these plugins cause the firm significant financial damage

Don’t care. Competition is not damage.

violate copyright laws

Prove it.

plug-ins developed by you […] that are in violation of our terms of service

The plug-ins never agreed to your ToS. Better sue your customers instead.

Hijacking the comment to say: Fork the shit out of this repo immediately. Fuck Haier.

Ghetto fork it. GitHub will nuke the forks done via the fork button with the initial DMCA

Fork it on a different platform - GitLab or something like it - we really should diversify our code repos. Microsoft has too much power with GitHub

Move that shit to Gitlab and have some of it saved offline for good measure.

Make it like the Barbara Streisand effect but for a FOSS project lol.

Yeah they have no legal basis for their ridiculous claims and demands. This company is just full of shit.

It is likely costing them more from whatever cloud service their platform is hosted on.

But, that’s on them for not putting locks on their api.
