There is a minimum amount of time allowable for Investigations though. It's not very long and there is a very good argument it should be longer, but the registrar didn't even take the time to look into the case. Obviously they didn't, because otherwise it wouldn't have done anything.
That's not even in their calculation for most of their customers. They aren't going to eat a court case if they don't have to and every refusal risks a court case. A customer has to be truly large to actually be defended by their ISP.
They wouldn't get a court case over this. Firstly because registrars are not responsible for the content on their websites, And social media sites and other sites that allow users to post-content to them are themselves not directly responsible for the content users choose to post.
The appropriate action for a registrar is to contact the owner of the website in question, If it is getting close to the allotted time and they haven't had a response then they take the website down. All allowable under the law without getting sued.
This registrar didn't even bother trying to contact the site, they did not do a totally automatable and essentially free action, simply because they couldn't be bothered.
In the US record companies are busy making everyone responsible via court cases. That's the problem.
