This is how the start of the end of the 'porn blackmail scam' began in England. Obviously innocent people were sent extortion letters and went to the press.

"These settlements range from $3,000-12,000. While the goal of curbing Internet piracy is understandable, this particular case sounds less like lawyers coming up with effective ways to protect copyrighted material and more like lawyers terrifying people into giving them $3,000."

Seems to be getting a great deal of press.
