> That wouldn't remove the takedown against your account, or stop the scammer from sending more takedowns (with new, free accounts).

If everyone retaliated to fake takedown notices by spamming every single page and/or item listed by that account, they'd have no choice but to stop.

They do what they do because it makes them money! If they want to sell, they need an account which doesn't have every single item DMCA'ed.

The person spamming DMCA notices is not going to do it from an account that has items for sale.

Quoting the parent, emphasis mine:

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