I guess the only difference is now they are also trying to remove the non sexual photos of her that links her to working on LJ as a cam performer.
It's common for models and studios to do a massive DMCA take down when the model doesn't plan on doing cam work any more.
Independent models eventually lose their DMCA protection after a year or two. After this point, there is nothing they can do to remove their content from the internet. Studios can afford to pay for the DMCA protection a little bit longer even after the model retires. But at some point, even it takes years, Eva will lose DMCA protection.
For me it makes no difference. Any decent content of her that was on the internet, I already downloaded. And I still have my own pvt show recordings.
As far as web-camming is concerned, there is no such thing as losing "DMCA protection" and it is not something you have to pay for. DMCA is just a law that gives copyright owners rights. Some companies offer services where you pay them to identify theft and use the law on your behalf to demand stolen material be taken down, that is all. Sending a DMCA takedown request is extremely easy; the problem is that many sites do not comply, and DMCA is only legally enforceable within the USA, although other jurisdictions have similar laws. That said, many sites do comply with DMCA, even when they do not strictly need to.
There is some more information here and the WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) is also highly relevant.
Getting the copyright and takedown protection is what has to be paid for. Not all models have copyright protection and this is something that has to be paid for. DMCA is a law that protects copyrighted content that has been paid for. So maybe I should have worded things differently.
The takedown protection is a service that automatically searches the web for any content and gives web hosts DMCA take down notices. This is requres a paid a subscription. And yes, copyrights can expire. It all depends on what the person paid for. Once a copyright expires, the work enters the public domain and can be used without permission or payment.
I was talking about DMCA takedown services like this:

I knew precisely what you meant. It is simply not true to simply state that
"DMCA is a law that protects copyrighted content that has been paid for". The DMCA protection/takedown you refer to is an entirely optional service and no model
needs to pay for it. The various applicable laws already provide copyright protection and all streamers (or whoever their have transferred their rights to) have it by default (although in some cases they also record themselves) - the point is
nobody needs to pay for it. Furthermore, any streamer can issue their own "takedown" notice(s), also
for free - I have issued hundreds (with success rates of 90+%) and never paid one cent. Of course these "DMCA Protection" companies do not tell you this - why would they?
As to copyright expiry, this varies with jurisdiction; but I believe that, in the USA, copyright for an individual expires only 70 years after the death of the copyright holder; so, 'expiry' is hardly a practical concern.
Also, the DMCA logos and notices have no legal value whatsoever. All they do is remind a viewer that the streamer is aware of their legal rights. To think these help in any other way is to suggest that wearing a "protected from crime" button/badge when walking down a dark street at night will somehow stop you from being mugged, or give you extra rights with the police if you are robbed.
