1. The letter wasn't legally served to you, so I think it's bullshit.

2. This is a civil case, so you can't go to jail unless you're brought to court in a criminal trial. Civil cases are about monetary damages, not criminal activities.

3. I know a few friends who have been contacted by the RIAA and MPAA about downloading movies and music. They were told to remove the media from their computers (the University actually does it) and had their Internet connectivity taken away for a period of time. No legal action was ever taken, and they were busted for waaay worse stuff than what you're describing (a movie circa 1982).

I'd say it's bullshit.
