> if you make a 3D model all of the sudden the legal system loses it's goddamn mind.

This isn't a proof that you can't do it, a DMCA takedown is a way to avoid going to court to prove that you can't do it.

I guess you wouldn't get DMCA takedown over a drawing because it's probably clear that they would lose in court, while a 3D models hasn't been proved in court yet, thus you are less likely to want to push it to court.

It's a clear abuse of power. They don't do it because they are right, they do it because they can.
