Is shopify membership free?

If not, you definitely can't require companies pay you to be able to make DMCA takedown notices.

Oops, went and looked - it's not free. So that's why.

Obviously a bug in the system there needs to be another tier for companies to make DMCA takedowns somehow, I bet someone there is working on that now. Bet it's not easy though.

on edit: what I don't understand though, do other companies pay for shopify just to make takedown notices? Their pricing model and the wording of the article implies they do - that's weird. If I was a lawyer doing shopify takedown notices for my clients I'd get pissed.
