We received a "notice" from this group and attempts to speak to them were unsuccessful, answering machines that were less than professional etc. It seemed a bit sketchy to us so forwarded the note to the involved student with no recommendation one way or the other and have not heard back from them.

We actually received letters with two different from addresses, one 'copyright () videoprotectionalliance com' and one 'copyright () getamnesty com'. They have a professional web site with a ssl certificate issued by Verisign but how can one really tell a legitimate letter from a scam? How do you know they are really acting on behalf of a legitimate copyright holder? Jim
