Iam writingto you on behalf of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and its related entities (collectively "Fox"). Fox is the exclusive worldwide owner of copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights in the television series --------

It has come to our attention that you own and operate the website at -------------------- (the "Website"), which offers downloads of and/or links to downloads of clips and/or episodes the Series, and which uses copyrighted images from the Series.

Your use of Fox's copyright images and episodes from the Series constitutes copyright infringement under U.S. law.

Moreover, the Website creates consumer confusion because users encountering it will assume that Fox sponsors, endorses, or authorizes the content thereon, when it in fact does not. Accordingly, the Website violates Fox's trademark rights and constitutes unfair competition under U.S. law.

We, therefore, demand that you immediately:

1. Remove all references to ----------------- and to any other television series or motion picture produced by Fox from -----------------------

2. Cease all use, display or distribution, or links to sites that use, display or distribute, of all copyrighted material from or related to ------------- and any other television series or motion picture produced by Fox on any website whatsoever, and,

3. At your own expense, assign the --------------------- URL to Fox;

4. Identify the total revenue that to date by advertising or other means, and,

5. Confirm in writing to the undersigned no later than June 11, 2013, that you shall fully and promptly comply with each of the foregoing demands.

Should you fail to comply with the above demands by the close of business on June 11, 2013 we will consider taking all appropriate action against you without further notice to you.

This letter is without prejudice to Fox's rights and remedies, all of which are expressly reserved.

Very hard to read so I quoted it for you.

If it was me and the email looked to be from a genuine source then Id take off what they request but not respond to the email at all. Depends how well hidden you think you are i guess. Did you copy/paste that from their email, there's typo's in it. Be sure its not a competitor messing with you before complying.
 
just shutdown your site or move your server to offshore company..
 
Wasn't there a whole thing where people send a letter pretending to be from a media company and then say that you're going to be sued for $1,000,000 or something but if you work with them they'll settle out of court for only $500, so you pay them the $500 and they go away, but the whole thing was a lie and they didn't work for the company and there was never any danger of a lawsuit, anyway?

People were doing that with porn downloads. They'd be like "you downloaded some copyrighted porn, you're going to be sued" and then offer to help you out for a small fee. Completely fake.
 
If you copy and pasted that, all I can say is the email is bollocks, unless FOX employ people who have very little English grammar skills.
 
Well there is no way to know if it is really FOX or not, it could be your competitors trying to get you to remove the site, but to be safe I would at least move the site somewhere other than the U.S, or just take it down, or risk being in the headlines. You know what you have to do, I would get on it!, but if it's not FOX and you contact the real FOX back about the matter you will be alerting them to your presence.
