I had ten notices back in May, they wanted a total of $2250. The file in question was one 8 min scene from a 2hr movie. I ignored them and so far 5 months later I haven't received anymore threatening emails.
My advice is to ignore them. These are scare tactics from small time ambulance chasing lawyers looking to make a buck from threatening people.
Well I got my emails from charter on 4-29. A total of 4 extortion letters from "Copyright Settlements" all for the same movie. I talked to charter internet security staff and was told there has been a total of 20 email notices from the same company for the same movie, I just haven't recieved all of them yet. $125 x 20 = $2500 for one movie.
It appears they are downloading movies and tracking the IP of the uploaders then sending a bill for each time they download the same movie over and over again. I deny any liability and have changed my password on my wireless network.
