Just a recommondation: If I block a user for repeatedly uploading 
copyvios, I usually issue an infinite block together with a message to 
email an apology and an assurance that this won't happen again. If I get 
a believable assurance, I think about lifting the block.

With just a month block and no communication you have no guarantee that 
the user won't start uploading copyvios again after the block has run 
out automatically.
