Shopify files lawsuit over DMCA abuse
I absolutely applaud Shoppify for filing this suit, it&#x27;s great, doesn&#x27;t happen enough.<p>But a question:<p>&gt; The strikes will be removed if the merchant files a successful counternotice, but those can take up to two weeks to process.<p>Is there any legal reason acting on the counternotice can&#x27;t be as quick and automatic as acting on the initial DMCA claim?  It seems like this is something Shoppify could do to help, that is completely under their control. Why should processing the counternotice take two weeks?<p>Or is this a legal issue in the DMCA process, that a lag is required here?
