If the user doesn't do it themselves within that short window, then GitHub has to. Every web hosting company I've worked with in the last 10 years has forwarded DMCA notices on to customers. They only disable a server if you don't handle the removal yourself. I don't think GitHub is trying anything new here.

"If the user doesn't do it themselves within that short window, then GitHub has to."

It sounded like you were claiming otherwise, saying that asking the user is acting expeditiously "enough", and that they can then "not remove" or slow down removal.

If you aren't claiming that, then we have no argument :)
