People are arguing about whether model weights can be copyrighted, and who knows how courts will eventually rule. But if a site gets a DMCA takedown notice, they are taking a huge gamble if they don't comply: if courts do decide that Meta's copyright is valid, the monetary damages for an infringer could be huge. So I would expect the demands to be honored by anyone who can't afford to be wiped out in court.
