IANAL, but I don't think the DMCA applies.
Copyright applies to creative work, and model weights aren't that.
It is however my understanding that downloading them can be considered a misappropriation of a trade secret.
Folks that would contest the bogus DMCA takedown requests would be liable to a trade secret suit.

The person who leaked the weights on BitTorrent is definitely liable for violating whatever restrictions they agreed to to get access to them though.
