MediaSentry false positives?

Has anybody received "Notice of claimed infringement" from MediaSentry for IP addresses which, while registered to you or your organization, are in a range not actively in use? I recently received two notices from MediaSentry for MPAA material, each listing a single file shared via Kazaa, for two very different IP addresses for which I am a contact. In both cases, the IP addresses reported were in fact within the range allocated, however the address shown is not only not in use, no address with the same first three octets is either used or announced via BGP, nor have they ever been publicly visible. I see two likely possibilities -- either MediaSentry is not using due diligence in verifying that the material for which they send infringement notices is actually shared from the address they show in the complaint, or somebody on the Internet is spoofing BGP route announcements for unused address space out of larger allocations. Before I panic and start researching solutions to address the latter problem, I'm hoping to first verify whether in fact the MediaSentry notices have any basis in fact? Thanks, Kevin Kadow (P.S. If you have received a similar "Notice of claimed infringement" letter from MediaSentry for unused IP addresses, please feel free to contact me privately.) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
