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.

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.

DMCA notices get mailed to you on paper. The email would just be a courtesy by your ISP.

Better yet, don't use your ISP email and you wouldn't have to worry about ever seeing one.
I was about to say something to that effect. 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 .

The MediaDefender impersonator emails that are really a
virus are a good example of this. Anyone who treats those
as spam will likely also treat any infringement notices
that come from this company the same way.

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.
