1) Not sure about this since I have reports of australian webmasters also receiving notices. I don't know if UK Patents extend to Australia automatically or not, but since the australian webmaster got their packet, I can only assume that they think they have a case (or were just really stupid in mailing out packets to anywhere in the world).
2) If you take down video, it only stops the clock for infringement. They technically could go after you for prior infringement.
Check to see if Australia has their own Patent Office, or if they just latch on to UK.... Acacia does have UK patents.
Fight the Patent!
