Dear Amazon Team,
I am writing to formally report a serious and ongoing abuse of the DMCA reporting system by a competitor targeting our listings.
⸻
Summary of the Issue
We have been subjected to continuous and repeated DMCA complaints, all based on the same false image copyright claim. Despite multiple successful counter-notifications, the same party continues to file identical complaints, clearly demonstrating a systematic and coordinated abuse pattern.
⸻
Confirmed Complaint Timeline
March (Resolved via Counter-Notice):
• Complaint ID: 19668851961
• Complaint ID: 19694179201
Both complaints were successfully countered and our listings were reinstated.
⸻
April (Escalation – Repeated Malicious Complaints):
• Complaint ID: 19899645421
• Complaint ID: 19899683381
• Complaint ID: 19920276311
• Complaint ID: 19984677841
• Complaint ID: 19984854101
• Complaint ID: 20003290701
• Complaint ID: 20003508361
Within a short time frame, we received seven (7) additional complaints, all repeating the same claim that has already been proven invalid.
⸻
Critical Evidence of Abuse
All complaints reference links hosted on blogspot.com, which raise serious concerns:
• The pages contain no verifiable brand, company, or legal entity information
• The complainant identities are anonymous and constantly changing
• Different complaints are submitted using different Gmail accounts and aliases
• The content on these pages is directly copied from our original product images (main images and A+ content)
This indicates that:
• The reporting party is fabricating ownership evidence
• They are re-uploading our own images to Blogspot, then using those pages as “proof” to file DMCA complaints against us
• The process is being repeated with new identities to bypass detection
⸻
Key Concerns
• Identical claims are being re-submitted after successful counter-notices
• No new or legitimate ownership evidence is ever provided
• Complaints are filed in rapid succession, indicating coordinated targeting
• Use of unverifiable Blogspot pages as proof of ownership
• Clear indication of bad-faith abuse of Amazon’s DMCA reporting system
⸻
Business Impact
• Repeated listing removals disrupting sales continuity
• Loss of revenue and ranking stability
• Significant waste of advertising spend
• Ongoing operational burden due to repeated reinstatement processes
⸻
Evidence of Systemic Abuse Pattern
The pattern is consistent:
Complaint → Listing removal → Counter-notice → Reinstatement
→ Same or similar complaint filed again with new identity
This cycle has repeated multiple times and is escalating.
⸻
Request for Immediate Action
We respectfully request Amazon to:
1. Investigate this actor for systematic and coordinated abuse of the DMCA reporting process
2. Review the validity of Blogspot-based “evidence” with no verifiable ownership
3. Take enforcement action against anonymous and repeated bad-faith reporting
4. Block further duplicate complaints on the same content
5. Implement safeguards to prevent identity switching to bypass enforcement
⸻
This is no longer a standard intellectual property dispute.
This is a coordinated exploitation of Amazon’s enforcement system using fabricated sources and anonymous identities.
We are concerned this may indicate a broader vulnerability in the DMCA enforcement workflow that is being actively exploited.
We sincerely request urgent review and intervention.
Sincerely,
