If it some high value image/video or you paid a ton for this particular piece of content, then of course, you evaluate the cost of fighting it and make a decision.

A common mistake business owners make is they don't value their time. On emotion alone, they'll spend countless hours on rather trivial shit.

But they, if they want to spend $300+/hour to help an attorney pay his mortgage, by all means have it! The dirty little secret in the legal community is that some "rain makers" will tell you, "she has no case! Hire us and we'll fight it!" You end up paying them $2K to draft a response to the demand letter, and $50K+ to litigate it. The good lawyers are the ones that help you do a cost benefit analysis, and don't urge you to fight just so you can hire them and pay them a lot of money....
