I am getting a very slow response from both the ticket support and the other party (Godaddy copyright claims) on this issue, thus have decided to ask this question on the forums.
I made the stupid error of running an unlicensed copy of VBulletin...I got reported, site got suspended. (Usually doesn't a website receive a warning before a file for suspension is put through?)
I got caught completely off guard because I had been in the lazy set of mind of where (Ok, if i get a warning I'll buy the license) ..
Well, I just did buy the license and my site is technically not breaking any copyright infringements now but GoDaddy copyright claims is asking this of me:
Since there is no copyright issue now...why don't they un suspend my account? I emailed them 8 screenshots of me now having proof for a valid VB license but they sent the SAME email back to me? What am I supposed to do? Everyone keeps asking me when the forums are going to be back up, and i can't answer because (technically they should be up) but I don't know when VB will drop the copy right claim issue (a ticket i have created) and when Godaddy will accept the fact that there is no copyright infringment presently...
Any input?

Dear Sir or Madam,
We are required by the DMCA to take down websites when we receive a
copyright notification as was attached to our original email. Any
information that may have been given to you contrary to that was
incorrect. All hosting providers who wish to remain DMCA compliant will
disable access for a site that is the subject of a complete copyright
notification.
At this point, if you wish to re-activate the site on our servers, you
have 2 options.
Option 1:
---------
Remove the offending Content.
In order to reactivate the site in question we will need you to provide
the following information in a single email response:
A. An electronic signature. (This can be a scanned copy of your
physical signature, or as simple as typing your full name.)
B. Identification of the material in question.
C. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the material has
either been removed or will promptly be removed.
Option 2:
---------
Complete a Counter Notification.
Submit a complete Counter Notification on the works in question in
accordance with our Copyright Dispute policy. (See Above) You will need
to reply, via email and include all of the following elements.
A. An electronic signature of the Infringer. (This can be a scanned
copy of your physical signature, or as simple as typing your full name.)
B. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which
access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared
before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
C. A statement under penalty of perjury that the Infringer has a good
faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of
mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
D. The Infringers name, address, and telephone number, and a
statement that the Infringer consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal
District Court for the judicial district of Arizona, or if the
Infringers address is outside of the United States, for any judicial
district in which Go Daddy may be found, and that the Infringer will
accept service of process from the Complaining Party or an agent of such
Party.
We understand that the very nature of these situations often involve a
dispute over the content and/or the resulting infringement claim.
However, we are a hosting provider, and must abide by the DMCA. We are
not required to judge who is right or wrong in these cases.
Please let us know which option you decide to pursue via email to
