Copyright and takedowns
Last updated: 21 September 2026
DM Workbench lets people upload and import their own game material into private campaigns. We respect the rights of authors and publishers, and we ask our customers to do the same. This page says how to tell us that something on the service infringes your copyright, and what we do about it. It follows the process in the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.
Customers store material in campaigns that are private to their own account: notes, maps, handouts, imported adventures. It isn't published, indexed or shared with other customers. A customer can show parts of a campaign to the players at their own table. Our terms require every customer to have the right to what they upload.
If you own a copyright, or act for someone who does, and believe material on DM Workbench infringes it, send a notice to our designated agent:
Copyright Agent
McGehearty Holdings LLC
2600 E Southlake Blvd, Ste 120 PMB376
Southlake, TX 76092
Email: support@dmworkbench.com
Registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, designated agent registration DMCA-1080858
The law requires the notice to include all of the following:
| # | What the notice must contain |
|---|---|
| 1 | Your physical or electronic signature, or that of the person you act for. |
| 2 | The copyrighted work you say is infringed. For several works, a representative list. |
| 3 | The material you say infringes it and enough information for us to find it, such as the link you were given or the name of the account or campaign. |
| 4 | Your name, address, telephone number and email address. |
| 5 | A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. |
| 6 | A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act for the owner of the right. |
A notice that leaves any of these out may not be valid, and we may not be able to act on it. Anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material infringes can be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
We remove the material or switch off access to it promptly. We tell the customer who uploaded it, and give them a copy of the notice. We keep a record against the account.
If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same agent. It must include:
| # | What the counter-notice must contain |
|---|---|
| 1 | Your physical or electronic signature. |
| 2 | The material that was removed and where it was before it was removed. |
| 3 | A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith the material was removed by mistake or misidentification. |
| 4 | Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you're outside the United States, any district where we can be found), and that you'll accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice. |
We send the counter-notice to the person who complained. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they've filed a court action, we restore the material between 10 and 14 business days after we received the counter-notice.
We close the accounts of customers who infringe repeatedly. In practice: a second valid notice against an account gets a written warning, and a third closes it. We may act sooner where the infringement is plain and deliberate. Before an account is closed, we'll send its owner a copy of their own original material if they ask for it and the law allows.
If you publish games or adventures and want to talk about how your work is used in DM Workbench, including officially supported imports, write to support@dmworkbench.com. We'd rather hear from you directly.
For a trademark concern, write to the same address with the mark, the registration if there is one, and where you've seen it used on the service.
