The problem with Shopify is that literally anyone can open a fake account and submit a DMCA to take down any competitor.

Check how basic their form is >> https://help.shopify.com/en/legal/dmca#/form

We've been harassed by the same scammer that placed 7 fake DMCA over the past 2 weeks and Shopify automatically removes you content with zero check. That dude just mentioned the product pages he wanted and used totally irrelevant links as a source for what he claims was the original content even a .xyz domain.

Shopify support does absolutely nothing even if you send them 20 emails.

Hundreds of legit businesses are affected by this loophole exploited by scammers.
