I have seen e-mail similar to the one you have.  Without knowing more about
the service you provide, where the notice came from, and with much of the
content <<removed>> it's pretty hard to tell if it meets the requirements of
a DMCA notice or not.

If it does meet the requirements of a DMCA notice follow the procedure -
it's spelled out pretty well.

It becomes something of a gray area if you are dealing with a dialup user
running servers since you do not have control of the server.
