Hanan Almoshygeh (httpswwwinstagramcomshihir) | 3 comments Hello Librarians,

I need urgent help regarding this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...


It is an unauthorized copy of my original work, which I have already taken down from all platforms with the publisher's agreement. The listed "author" has no rights and has abandoned the work.

I have already sent Goodreads Support full proof of authorship (contracts, ISBN, printed edition photos) and a signed good-faith statement, but my case was ignored and no action was taken.

This listing misleads readers and violates my copyright. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I would like to delete the book as my simplest right.
Thank you very much for your help!

This is my last message to the support team, I hope it reaches them unless they block me✋️
Dear Goodreads Copyright Team,

I am writing to follow up on a copyright infringement complaint I previously submitted regarding the book listed here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...



This book is an unauthorized copy of my original work, which was first published on [Mexat Forum]. The publisher and I have already taken down the infringing version from all other platforms, and I have provided you with proof of authorship

Despite my previous submission and signed statement of good faith, I have received no resolution, and the book remains visible on Goodreads. The alleged "author" listed has long abandoned this work and has no rights to it. Allowing this listing to remain public is misleading readers and damages my reputation and intellectual property.

I am formally requesting, again, that Goodreads remove this infringing title from its database under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512). This is a final notice before escalation.

Here are my details for verification:
- Legal Name: [hanan almoshegeh]
- Email: [shihiru22@gmail.com ]
- Original Work Proof Link(s):

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

https://www.jarir.com/dp/arabic-books...

https://store.darhakaya.com/DGORlvv


- Declaration: I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I am the copyright owner or authorized agent and that the information in this notice is accurate.

Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter. Please confirm once the listing has been removed.

Support decided to ignore me even after providing all the required evidence.

If they can't delete the book, it's okay to modify it: remove the image, change the title and the synopsis.🙏
