Our content

The series, episodes, images and text on DramaShow are owned by DramaShow LLC or licensed to us by their owners. You may watch them in DramaShow for your own personal use, as our Terms of Use describe. You may not copy, record, download or share them.

Users can't upload videos or post comments on DramaShow. They can only like episodes and give star ratings.

If you own a copyright, or you are allowed to act for the owner, and you believe that content on DramaShow infringes it, send us a written notice. This process follows the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)).

Your notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature. Typing your full name is enough for an electronic signature.
  2. The copyrighted work you believe is infringed. If there are several works, a list is enough.
  3. The content you believe is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it. Give the series title, the episode number and, if possible, the web address or a screenshot.
  4. Your name, postal address, phone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not allowed by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are allowed to act for the owner.

Where to send notices

Our designated agent for copyright notices:

Email is the fastest way. Please write in English if you can. We also accept notices in other languages.

This address is only for copyright notices. For other questions, use our contact page.

What happens after you send a notice

  1. We check that your notice includes everything listed above. If something is missing, we will ask you for it.
  2. If the notice is complete, we remove the content or block access to it quickly.
  3. If someone supplied the content to us, we tell them, and we may send them a copy of your notice.

Counter-notice

If content was removed because of a notice and you supplied it, you can send a counter-notice if you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentified. Send it to the same address.

Your counter-notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. The content that was removed, and where it appeared before it was removed.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith that the content was removed because of a mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, postal address and phone number.
  5. A statement that you agree to the jurisdiction of the US federal district court for the area where your address is. If your address is outside the United States, you agree to any judicial district where DramaShow LLC may be found.
  6. A statement that you will accept legal papers from the person who sent the original notice, or from their agent.

When we receive a complete counter-notice, we send a copy to the person who sent the original notice. We may restore the content 10 to 14 business days later, unless that person tells us they have started a court case to stop the infringement.

Repeat infringers

We remove access for people who repeatedly infringe copyright. This means we may close the accounts of users, and end our agreements with content suppliers, who repeatedly infringe, in appropriate cases.

Rights holders outside the United States

You are welcome to use this process wherever you are. We will review notices based on the law of your country too. If your local law gives you other ways to complain, those rights are not affected.

False claims

Only send a notice or counter-notice if you are sure it is accurate. Under US law (17 U.S.C. §512(f)), a person who knowingly makes a false claim can be ordered to pay damages, including costs and legal fees. If you are not sure whether something infringes your rights, please get legal advice first.
