without knowing the url it's impossible to know what actually happened here...
but using copyrighted content is no joke... it isn't quite "I'll use whatever I want, then when I get a DMCA notice, I'll take it down"... DMCA only applies in certain pretty narrow cases, it's easiest and cheapest way to get infringing content down, that's why it's most popular...
but when dealing with deep pockets like mr skin, sueing or threatening to sue is 100x better... now mr skin has to pay $750/hr lawyer to prove that DMCA / fair use / etc applies in this case... so no wonder they are a bit displeased...
