Not to pry if you don't want to talk about it, but since this is a topic
of general interest: do you mean they feel that your site is violating
the DMCA ("technically"), so that:

1) they can issue a take-down because of DMCA terms (IOW, it isn't
really a copyright/license issue at all)

2) they themselves have violated the DMCA, so the original right to
license the work is in question

3) they feel that, due to some DMCA issue, the terms of the CC license
have been violated by you, so that you are losing your license to
display the work

I think it would be interesting to know what sort of tactic is being
used here, for the benefit others who might find themselves in your
situation (free-licensed works are not meant to be retracted -- any time
that happens, represents some kind of failure for the commons).

Cheers,
Terry
