Again, at this point, the webhost hasn't responded at all, and that's a violation of the DMCA law - can lose their safe harbor status.

Agreed but since they arent responding then it does matter since if he hasnt registered the copyright then he cant file for copyright infringement. If he has registered he can file and serve the host and I can guaranty the site will come down. Lawsuits usually result in a very quick response.
