Copyright & DMCA Policy
Last updated: November 13, 2025
1. Copyright Ownership
FantasyRead Service
The FantasyRead service—including its website, applications, The Sage AI technology, design, text, graphics, logos, and other proprietary components (excluding user-uploaded content)—is owned by FantasyRead and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
User-Uploaded Content
You retain all ownership rights to the books and other content you upload to FantasyRead (“User Content”). FantasyRead does not claim any ownership over your uploaded content. However, you are solely responsible for ensuring you have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to upload and use such content with the Service.
2. Private, Per-User Access
Per-User Libraries
Your uploaded books are stored on a private, per-user basis and are accessible only to your account. No other user can access your library.
No Public Catalog
FantasyRead does not provide or offer access to a public catalog of copyrighted works. All books on the platform are supplied directly by users.
No Sharing Between Users
FantasyRead does not share, redistribute, or otherwise make your uploaded books or AI-generated analyses available to other users or to the public.
Subscription Fees Cover Service, Not Content
Subscription fees cover access to FantasyRead’s functionality, including private storage and AI-powered reading assistance. These payments do not include or grant rights to any books or third-party works. You remain responsible for lawfully acquiring and using any books with the Service.
3. User Responsibilities
Legal Use Only
You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have the legal right to upload and use books on FantasyRead, including:
- Owning a legally purchased copy
- Using DRM-free versions obtained lawfully
- Complying with copyright laws in your jurisdiction
- Not uploading pirated or unauthorized copies
Personal, Non-Commercial Use
The Service is intended for personal reading assistance. You may not distribute, share, or resell copyrighted books, excerpts, or AI-generated summaries.
4. DRM-Free Requirement
FantasyRead supports only DRM-free EPUB files. We do not provide tools for removing DRM and do not encourage or support DRM circumvention.
Acceptable sources for DRM-free books include:
- Licensed DRM-free retailers
- Public domain libraries
- Books you personally own in DRM-free format
5. AI Processing & Third-Party Providers
Segment-Based Processing
To generate reading insights, FantasyRead processes your book in small sections. Each section, along with a brief AI-generated summary of earlier segments, may be transmitted to third-party AI inference providers solely to generate the requested output for your account.
No Training, No Retention
Our AI providers:
- Do not train on your data
- Do not store or retain excerpts after processing
- Do not use your content for any other purpose
6. AI-Generated Content & Responsible Use
Reading Assistance Only
The Sage is designed as a reading companion, providing progress-based summaries, context, and insights without substituting for the original work.
Output Safeguards
We implement measures to reduce the risk of substitutive or infringing outputs, including:
- Limiting analysis to your current progress
- Avoiding verbatim reproduction of copyrighted text
- Restricting the scope and detail of summaries
No Fair-Use Guarantee
While the Service is designed to support responsible use of copyrighted material, FantasyRead does not guarantee that any specific use, output, or activity qualifies as “fair use” or similar exceptions. Users are responsible for how they use the Service and AI-generated content.
7. DMCA Compliance
Notice and Takedown
FantasyRead respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) where applicable. Because all uploaded books are user-supplied and private, alleged infringement usually relates to a specific user’s library.

If you believe that material stored privately by a user infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA notice to:
Your notice must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature
- Identification of the copyrighted work
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing
- Your contact information
- A good-faith belief statement
- A statement made under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act
Counter-Notification

8. Repeat Infringers
FantasyRead may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, suspend or terminate accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.
9. Trademarks
"FantasyRead" and "The Sage" are trademarks of FantasyRead. Other trademarks used on the Service are the property of their respective owners.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Copyright & DMCA Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
