How about narrowing their intake of DMCA notices to certified mail? That ~$5 tax would go a log way to eliminate fraud.

- jeromegv 3y agoShopify is ecommerce. A competitor that wants to bring another website down can gain millions of dollars. So $5 is irrelevant here.
- acomjean 3y agoSending certified would require the sender to be Ided and not be anonymous. It would also probably be mail fraud to submit a bogus claim. Though there is a balance here that needs to be found. I still find it a little wierd that those takedowns are sent to shops. What copyright are the shops violating?
- MerelyMortal 3y ago> Sending certified would require the sender to be Ided and not be anonymous. I sent a certified letter a few weeks ago and was not required to show ID.
- hiatus 3y ago> Sending certified would require the sender to be Ided and not be anonymous. Sending certified mail in the United States absolutely does not require showing any identification at all. You can even do it all online.
- pixl97 3y agoI'd be very wary of committing a potential fraudulent action over certified mail itself. Doing so will allow an entirely different police force to investigate you, and one that may be much more willing to investigate if the victim brings a claim you're committing fraudulent actions via the postal service.
