If the DMCA is about actress then it's likely an actress (or her agency) which now does OF and wants to get rid of her former content for 3rd parties. This would be fraud.

If DMCAs are about labels it's likely the label which wants to remove pirated content, but the person in charge possibly doesnt know about all the sponsor sites. This would be unintentional collateral damage.
Here's a fun situation. I got a DMCA for a model, so naturally I contact my affiliate manager and double check that everything is cool to promote. They say yes, so I continue onward, submit a counter notice and go about my day.

Alright a few days later, different DMCA, same URL, same model. This continues for a week straight, after every counter notice. Ok, "Hey do I still have permission or what? This DMCA agency says otherwise". "You most definitely have permission".

Ok great, so uh.. who is putting the "hit out" so to speak? Clearly a model or agency. So what happens when I reply back.. "Ok, well it seems this model or agency doesn't want my website, an affiliate promoting your company to exist on Google for her name or terms through your paysite."

"I'm sorry to hear that, tell us what we can do".

Never know how to answer. Go after the model? Cool then she doesn't work for them anymore.

Go after agency? Not a single paysite really does this beyond an angry email and a promise of being whitelisted, and good luck if the agency doesn't respond to anyone.

Fun shit.
