My guess is that GoDaddy responded the same way that they probably do for any DMCA take down request -- take the site down first, and then wait to see if anyone notices or makes a stink. They must get way too many requests to research them individually.

If it was a DMCA takedown, the owner of the domain should have been notified, and it should only have been reinstated once the owner responded to the notice and accepted legal liability (no way any 3rd party could properly investigate a copyright infringement claim, certainly not in a few hours). Meanwhile "the Information Center said it received no explanation from the company for why its domain was taken down." and "Still we had not got a single communication from GoDaddy."
