What the fuck?

Hello,

Recently we have receive a DMCA take down request regarding ....com using the CIALIS, which is trademarked.


Please remove this infringing content withing 72 hours or further action will be taken upon the server or IP addresses associated with the account.

In order to ensure that copyright owners do not wrongly insist on the removal of materials that actually do not infringe their copyrights, the safe harbor provisions require service providers to notify the subscribers if their materials have been removed and to provide them with an opportunity to send a written notice to the service provider stating that the material has been wrongly removed. If a subscriber provides a proper "counter-notice"
claiming that the material does not infringe copyrights, the service provider must then promptly notify the claiming party of the individual's objection. If the copyright owner does not bring a lawsuit in district court, the service provider is then required to restore the material to its location on its network.

A proper counter-notice must contain the following information:

The subscriber's name, address, phone number and physical or electronic signature

Identification of the material and its location before removal

A statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification

Subscriber consent to local federal court jurisdiction, or if overseas, to an appropriate judicial body.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

To remove cialis or to change the showing name you may want to make changes to the template you use but this will not solve your problems because there are many other registered trademarks in the list of meds.

I'da rather remove cialis from the list 1st to see if that's enough. Is there any specific file which lists cialis in items list?

Try to remove "item.156.ser" from "data" folder. But it is temporary solution.

You should edit your template to remove Cialis from the shop. I mean to "remove" any item you can make it unreachable through links on the shop.

Cialis ID = 156, so you have to check a product ID every time the product is displayed on the shop. For example open group.tpl file in your theme, find a circle
{:foreach item=item from=$group_data.items:}
It can look a little different in different themes. This circle takes every product in the current category and displayes it. So if you'd like to remove Cialis (ID 156) then make a new condition:
{:foreach item=item from=$group_data.items:}
{:if $item.id != 156 :}
... the circle's body. items 'll be displayed if the itemID is not equal 156
{:/if:}
{:/foreach:}

Make the same changes in item.tpl, index.tpl, search.tpl, and menu links (you can find all included files for menu, etc. in the themes's code). After all none'll be able to find Cialis on your shop. Like it's removed.

To remove multiply items (all items where 'cialis' is mentioned, like cialis pro, jelly, soft) make the following condition:
{:if $item.id != 156 && $item.id != 3739 && $item.id != 251 && $item.id != 3152:}

You can find items and IDs in the attached file (http://forum.glavmed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=108&stc=1).

However, the best solution for you - to move your site to a non-US server.
