After reading this thread, I was compelled to respond. I too have received the letter, and consulted with 2 attorneys who basically told me the same thing. Let them threaten you all they want, they cannot prove that you in fact used the code. So with that in mind, if you have deep pockets and don't care, pay them. If you are willing to risk a law suit that you will win due to lack of proof wait to get served then fight them. There is no guarantee how much your attorney will cost you but the bottom line is they need to prove you used the code.
2 more things to mention, they only sue 10% of the people they sue letters to, which in itself is good odds (17,000 cases out of 170,000 letters sent out). If you contact them or have an attorney contact them you will be getting sued because you put yourself on the hook. Also take note of the cases cited in quotes at the bottom of your letter, these were all people operating sites and selling tons of codes and hosting sites which teaches people how to circumvent their security. Good luck to you all!
Just my 2 cents, hope it helped some of you out...
