I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal adviceĭMCA is a governmental tool, outside of Shopify's control. I cannot waste any more money and time on this platform. I like Shopify but because of this I am going to have to look for other possibilities to build my stores. I feel that on this platform no website is safe, because as soon as they send you a fake DMCA, a chain of fake DMCAs will start from which you will not be able to get out and you will have no choice but to close your store. I have contacted on numerous occasions and they always tell me that they cannot do anything and that with regard to the store that sends me the DMCAs they will not do anything against them, when I think that these types of stores are doing a lot of damage to the ecommerce industry and to Shopify in particular. It seems that the Shopify legal team is unable to help me, they are unable to even see if what it says in the DMCA is true. I have lost a lot of money by having ads on social networks, because my page has already been deactivated 6 times in the last month. The problem is that the Shopify legal team does not manually check if my content is the same or different, so they ALWAYS deactivate my page for no reason.

Inside the DMCA they say that I am copying part of their content and the truth is that I have not copied a word. Even when they are 100% legitimate.Ī Shopify store keeps sending me DMCA Takedown notices. How can shop owners sleep at night knowing that anytime for any reason Shopify can close your account and won't spend 5 minutes checking any details. There is 0 due diligence done, and also absolutely 0 respect from your Shopify team.
