DMCA Policy
Effective Date: May 15, 2025
Welcome to Storyious, a home for ethical, human-written storytelling.
We are firmly committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of Our Writers and complying with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
This DMCA Policy outlines the procedures for reporting copyright infringement, submitting counter-notifications, and understanding the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved.
1. DMCA Compliance
At Storyious.com, we operate in accordance with the DMCA and uphold high standards of originality, integrity, and ethical storytelling. Every story published on our platform, whether a moral story, fairytale, or bedtime narrative, goes through a rigorous editorial review as outlined in our Editorial Process.
Nevertheless, if any content on Storyious is suspected of infringing copyright, we act swiftly to investigate and take appropriate action.
2. Submission of Content by Authors
All contributors must certify that
- Their submissions are original, exclusive, and not published elsewhere
- No content is generated using AI or – in case of Classic
- Stories – rewritten from copyrighted material without proper credits to the original author
- They agree to abide by our Plagiarism Guidelines and Content Integrity standards
Violations of these rules are taken seriously and may result in suspension or permanent banning.
3. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe your copyrighted work has been used on Storyious without authorization, please send a formal DMCA notice to our DMCA Agent. Your takedown request must include
- Your full name or the name of the copyright holder you represent
- Contact details (email, phone number, mailing address)
- A detailed description of the copyrighted work
- The exact URL(s) where the infringing content appears
- A good faith statement that the material is used without permission

We will review your complaint and, if valid, remove or disable the content promptly.
4. Counter-Notification Procedure
If you are the content creator and believe your content was wrongly removed, you may file a counter-notice. Please include
- Your name, address, telephone number, and email
- A description of the material removed and where it appeared
- A statement under penalty of perjury that the removal was an error
- Your consent to jurisdiction in a relevant federal court
- Your electronic or physical signature
Counter-notices should be submitted using the same contact provided above.
If a valid counter-notice is received, and no legal action is initiated by the original complainant, the content may be reinstated.
5. Safe Harbor Provisions
As a content-hosting platform, Storyious qualifies for the DMCA’s Safe Harbor protections, which limit liability for third-party content under specific conditions.
While we conduct editorial reviews, we cannot preemptively monitor every story. We rely on
- Prompt responses to DMCA notices
- Immediate action upon receiving valid complaints
- Community feedback to identify potential issues
This allows us to support a creative community while complying with copyright law.
6. Repercussions for Copyright Infringement
Storyious takes infringement seriously. If an author is found in violation,
- The infringing content will be removed
- The author may receive a formal warning
- Repeat or serious violations may lead to permanent removal from our platform
Our commitment to creative ethics is clear: we protect both original authors and our readers from misuse of intellectual property.
7. Additional Terms
- This DMCA Policy may be updated at any time. All changes will be reflected on this page.
- Authors are expected to understand and comply with copyright and intellectual property laws.
- For additional concerns regarding our policy, refer to our Copyright Violations page.
Storyious is proud to provide a platform where stories are born from originality, not shortcuts. Thank you for helping us protect creativity, honor integrity, and foster a respectful space for storytellers around the world.
