Emails from Network Solutions were included in the backup of the site. Apparently it's their policy to suspend sites for 10 days after receiving a counter-DMCA notice and reinstate the site after 14 days if they haven't been served with a lawsuit.

We note that pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) we will reactivate the Web site following the allotted time frame (not less than 10 and no more than 14 business days) unless we receive notice of litigation."
