DMCA / Notice & Takedown

Last updated: August 2026

We respect other people’s intellectual property and we expect the same courtesy in return. myebooksbuy operates a strict notice-and-takedown policy: send us a valid complaint and we will remove or disable access to the material in question, normally within 48–72 hours of receipt.

Designated copyright agent

Email reaches us fastest and is the route we prefer. Please put “DMCA notice” in the subject line.

What a valid notice must contain

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a notice must include all six of the following. A notice missing any of them may not be legally effective, and we may have to come back to you for the rest — which only slows the removal down.

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of someone authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed — or, if several works at one site are covered by a single notice, a representative list of them.
3. Identification of the material you want removed or disabled, including the full URL of each page on myebooksbuy.com, so we can find it without guessing.
4. Your contact details: name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.

What we do when a notice arrives

• We acknowledge receipt by email.
• We remove or disable access to the material, normally within 48–72 hours of receiving a valid notice.
• We notify whoever is responsible for the material — for the free summaries section that is us — and record the notice.
• Where a page was generated automatically, we also suppress it from being regenerated.

Counter-notice

If you believe material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. It should contain your signature, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake, and your contact details together with your consent to the jurisdiction of an appropriate court. We will forward it to the original complainant. If they do not file a court action, we may restore the material in 10–14 business days.

Please note that knowingly making a material misrepresentation in either a notice or a counter-notice carries liability for damages under §512(f).

Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts and access of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances, and we may refuse service to anyone who repeatedly submits infringing material or abusive notices.

A note on the free summaries

The summaries in our free summariessection are written by artificial intelligence — Anthropic’s Claude and comparable large language models — from books that are in the public domain, sourced from Project Gutenberg. The cover artwork in that section is generated programmatically. The full details are on our copyright page. Automatically written text can occasionally misstate something or echo a phrasing it should not have. We would rather over-remove than argue: if a page there troubles you, tell us and it comes down while we look at it.
