Reminds me of a case with Second Life. Someone went to DMCA virtual horse food and the horses would die, so the company got an injunction not allowing Linden Lab to process those DMCA's while it was ligated.

Seems like virtual worlds dealing with the DMCA is complicated, and even if you restore it due to a counter notice process seems like things can break due it... Then I know I was reading before some companies just delete things instead of disabling the content, so they can't even restore it.
Maybe you have an object that includes a item bought from the marketplace and linked it(for people not familiar with SL, sorta like gluing or grouping multiple 3D objects together to become one larger 3D object) to your item, wonder if they just remove the entire object even if 1 part was covered by the DMCA? and then modifying objects, etc probably changes the signature used to detect it... And I know people have used DMCA to troll and mess with competitors businesses. and not sure if the DMCA even allows you to verify people are who they say they are when submitting them, someone could use TOR and say they are the content owner even if they aren't from my understanding... I think they should require a Photo ID and picture of themselves to process a DMCA, but It's probably illegal to ask? You need a Photo ID to do almost anything else though.
I know the though the DMCA was made back in the early days of the internet where people ran their own servers before massive sites with user generated content, seems like it needs reformed.
