Copyright, Fan Fiction & DMCA
How we handle copyright, fan fiction, and takedown requests
Last Updated: June 5, 2026
Ollala lets users write transformative fan fiction featuring fictional characters. Fan fiction is the responsibility of the user who creates it, and we respect the intellectual-property rights of others. We respond to valid notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and will expeditiously remove or restrict material that is the subject of a valid notice.
Note: depicting real, identifiable people in sexual or intimate content is prohibited regardless of copyright. This policy concerns fictional characters and copyrighted works only.
Designated Copyright Agent
Send DMCA notices and counter-notices to our designated agent:
What a valid DMCA notice must include
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it (e.g. the story URL).
- Your name, address, and email so we can contact you.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Counter-notices
If your content was removed and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our designated agent. We will follow the §512(g) process.
Repeat-infringer policy
Accounts that are the subject of repeated, valid copyright notices (three or more upheld notices within twelve months) will be terminated.
