The content is still gone for 14 days though. One of my friends had his server taken down by his hosting company due to a DMCA. By the time he had filed a counter-claim a few hours later, they'd already binned his server, binned the backups, and filled the slot with a new customer. The kicker was that it was completely false; an infringement notice based on him having a text file containing the names of TV series he had watched over the year. Just because you can file a counter notice doesn't mean that the DMCA isn't devastatingly to the owner of the website.
