I really believe that you intentionally violated my rights under 17 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. and could be liable for statutory damage as high as $110,000 as set forth in Sec. 504 (c) (2) of the Digital millennium copyright act (DMCA) therein.
This message is official notification. I demand the elimination of the infringing materials described above. Take note as a company, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act demands you, to remove and/or terminate access to the copyrighted content upon receipt of this particular notification letter. In case you do not stop the use of the previously mentioned infringing materials a law suit will likely be initiated against you.
I do have a strong self-belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its legal agent, or the law.
I declare, under consequence of perjury, that the information in this message is correct and that I am currently the legal copyright owner or am certified to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive and legal right that is presumably violated.
Sincerely,
Danielle Rhodes

Hello!
My name is Danielle
The first time I received one of these emails I tried to reply to the email address. I got an email bounce. I previously even tried to open the link, they never work.
I can only assume this is some sort of scam or fraud email trying to get me to pay something. But, I have never been able to establish any contact and the links never work.
One else ever encountered this copyright email scam?
Guys, when you open the link you download the trojan virus. I recommend not opening any links from emails like that.
Also, if you receive any suspicious email I’d recommend copying few sentences from it and searching in google to see if any other people reported it.
Or if you receive link — use spam link checkers online
And got another one of these:

Yes, I am receiving them as well. They are coming through several websites that I host and maintain.
Yep, I’ve received a few from different sites. Not sure what’s the catch yet.
