[ale] OT: Is this for real? Fwd: Notice of Claim of Copyright Infringement.

Thu Jun 7 10:22:14 EDT 2012

At my condo with the community's provided WiFi (also Comcast) the one
example of a letter where a copy was distributed to us it was of snail
mail. I find the very recent datestamp of 6/04 questionable, and it's using
Adele as the artist. I question it as legit unless it comes as snail mail.

accidentally, maybe that's how you got it.

> How and Why I Should Support Bottled Water!
> Do not relinquish your right to choose bottled water as a healthy
alternative to beverages that contain sugar, calories, etc. Your support of
bottled water will make a difference! Your signatures count! Go to
http://www.bottledwatermatters.org/luv-bottledwater-iframe/dswaters and
sign a petition to support your right to always choose bottled water. Help
fight federal and state issues, such as bottle deposits (or taxes) and

curbside recycling programs. Support bottled water as a healthy way to
maintain proper hydration. Our goal is 50,000 signatures. Share this
petition with your friends and family today!
