Sorry I was a bit dense and took ThemeForest literally.
Godaddy responds as most US companies do to DMCA Takedown Notices
by removing access to the cited content. By law, they must disable
access if they receive a valid takedown request. It would then be up to
you to file a "Counter-Notice" with them, at which point they
will enable access to your content again. The Digital Media Law Project
(DMLP) has some useful info on how to file a Counter-Notice:
If you contact GoDaddy first, and inform them about the false
threats, they might consider any takedown request they receive
as knowingly false, and not disable access to your content, and/or
well as give you time time to file a Counter-Notice. It won't
hurt to ask them about what you should do, since at least then
you'd have a pre-existing support ticket number to refer to if
they do get a takedown notice.
As I said, my main concern is I won't be given the opportunity to defend myself by the DMCA institution.
