In my opinion such a case is bound to come about. The Axl Rose 'meme purge' attempt via DMCA didn't seem to do much legally speaking, only be another Streisand Effect situation. The rights 'representative' though in the Axl case would - I think - be a good test for the legal aspects. Authorized representation makes sense, and if the rep can show tangible proof of assignment (i.e. owner genuinely owns property in question, like the photo rights) then the DMCA looks to be working as intended. Tests are pretty needed though, I agree.
