This is the best information I have seen and its exactly what we do.
Even if the note doesn't exactly match the DMCA requirements, I think there is all ready a ruling in a lower court that says some were close enough
Also, if you simply blow off the notice, you can become liable since you didn't follow the intent of the DMCA to remove copyrighted material.
IIRC, they have to provide you with a written (and hence legal) copy of the notice if you request it. It's my understanding that many places are doing this to all "notices" they get. Since they never get a written reply in return it's assumed that the email was fraudulent and they ignore it. It works for them. If I can find that discussion, I'll provide the link. Justin
