Acacia letter -- Ignore?

It seems as though Acacia has begun a mass-mailing to the entire MatrixContent database.

I have not even purchased any content from MatrixContent, nor do I even operate an adult website.

Should I just ignore the letter?

I, as well as a few people I've heard from, said that according to their MatrixContent account details, they were able to "confirm" that Acacia was indeed allowed access to MatrixContent's database.

As for me, I used a fictious name for my MatrixContent account-- Which is the same exact name used in my Acacia letter (the name is a unique made-up name that I've never used elsewhere).

Ok well someone from Matrix denies this to a webmaster from PA.

Officially Matrix has made this statement: http://avn.com/index.php?Primary_Nav...ntent_ID=43497

However a lot of webmasters have come forth on here the last few days and stated otherwise.

What we do know is that people are getting notices from affiliate info they've given that HAVE NOT ever bought or signed up with Matrix. There is more then one company that has allegedly given this information to Acacia.

The typo in my Matrix account info is the SAME as on my Acacia letter and I know I didn't make that typo anywhere else.

The Matrix statement does not sway suspicion.

Must be! I got a letter from Acacia with an old company name I used 3 years ago. (That company doesn?t exist any more!) Matrix was the content provider for that company!

I would reply to their letter, at the least requesting the list of urls they believe you are infringing. Ignoring is usually not a good sign.
