There are a number of articles on my site dealing with the DMCA you can read including "Are You A Service Provider?" http://www.ivanhoffman.com/provider.html and "The Notice and Take Down Provisions of the DMCA" http://www.ivanhoffman.com/dmca.html. There are also articles dealing with artist's rights on the link "Articles for Artists." http://www.ivanhoffman.com/artists.html

The issues involved in your post present great complexity and that complexity is certainly not limited to issues about the DMCA. There are potentially many other issues involved. You should seek the professional advice of an attorney with experience in these matters.
