said by Jason Levine :... If they want me to pay (assuming that I actually did pirate something), then they'll have to do better than sending me an e-mail. Exactly. Any REAL legal challenge would come via an actual certified letter.
Outside of that, they can send email if they like but I wouldn't take action on it. -- TheGlobalMind.com | Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go? | Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason. Ralph Waldo Emerson

| reply to patcat88 Heh, they don't need to be sent on paper. A digital copy of a DMCA is all that is required. Trust me, I know. 
The DMCA is abused by so many people everyday. I have to stop talking about it right now before I go off on a rant and get pissed off. |

My e-mails come from another outfit and not from my ISP. It just came to mind how much e-mails are burgeoning their server(s) since I started with them in November 2007. It never occurred to me to even check. Now I am wondering . -- Yo te digo, el mundo esta jodido |

| reply to DaMaGeINC I've got to agree. If I got an e-mail that claimed that they caught me pirating music/movies (putting aside the fact that I don't pirate music/movies for a second) and I had to go to this website to pay up, I'd toss it into the ol' Spam bucket. We're always telling users not to click on links "randomly mailed" to them much less not to pay for anything from those links. What's to distinguish GetAmnesty from the inevitable spammer imitators that will arise? If they want me to pay (assuming that I actually did pirate something), then they'll have to do better than sending me an e-mail. -- -Jason Levine Support a children's charity.
