**Are you the copyright holder or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf?**

Yes, I am the copyright holder.

**Are you submitting a revised DMCA notice after GitHub Trust & Safety requested you make changes to your original notice?**

No

**Does your claim involve content on GitHub or npm.js?**

GitHub

**Please describe the nature of your copyright ownership or authorization to act on the owner's behalf.**

[private] have a repository that's All rights Reserved. A person forked it, and then went ahead to add changes that I specifically told him I don't agree with. It's been a game of whac-a-mole with this guy, both on GitHub and other platforms, and quite frankly I've lost all patience.

I already created a DMCA for another repository of his, but he deleted it after which I saw this one pop up.

**Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.**

This is [private] repository: /~https://github.com/papa-smurf/Gargul

It was forked by xxdmmoody here:
/~https://github.com/xxdmmoody/no-update-popup

He then made changes that I EXPLICITLY (via [private] DM), told him I'm not ok with since it takes my work into a direction I'm not comfortable with, let alone do so publicly.

**What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL.**

The entire fork as it's a clear violation of the license. On top of that this person is all but obnoxious in one-on-one contact, so there is no middle ground left for me.

**Do you claim to have any technological measures in place to control access to your copyrighted content? Please see our <a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/guide-to-submitting-a-dmca-takedown-notice#complaints-about-anti-circumvention-technology">Complaints about Anti-Circumvention Technology</a> if you are unsure.**

No

**<a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/dmca-takedown-policy#b-what-about-forks-or-whats-a-fork">Have you searched for any forks</a> of the allegedly infringing files or repositories? Each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately if you believe it is infringing and wish to have it taken down.**

I can't find any other forks, but this person is bound to come back to mess with my repo again.

**Is the work licensed under an open source license?**

No

**What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement?**

Reported content must be removed

**Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it.**

**I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by the copyright owner, or its agent, or the law.**

**I have taken <a href="https://www.lumendatabase.org/topics/22">fair use</a> into consideration.**

**I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.**

**I have read and understand GitHub's <a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/guide-to-submitting-a-dmca-takedown-notice/">Guide to Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice</a>.**
