Got a letter from Vivid. Anybody else get one?

A while back I signed up with them but never promoted them. Im assuming this went out to all of there webmasters?

Dear Webmaster:

As you may be aware, Vivid Video, Inc and Matrix Content, Inc are currently involved in a potential dispute involving the alleged use of photographic images in which Matrix owns the copyright. More specifically, Matrix furnished Vivid from a number of its compyrighter images for Vivid to post on the Internet. Matrix now asserts that some of the use of the Matrix photographic images by Vivid's distributors, and by WEbmasters associated with vivid, are beyond the scope of its grant of permission to use.

Vivid is hoping to resolve the matter and avoid litigation with Matrix over the use of said images. Accordingly, to the extent that you are able to identify and photographic images placed on any of your Web sites that came from Vivid and originated with Matrix, please immediately remove such images from your Web sites, and sever any iinternet links that you may have for such images to any other Website of which you are aware. To the extent that you may have hard physical copies or chromes of said images, they must be immediately returned to Vivid. Failure to remove such images and links, and to return the copies to vivid could subject you to potential claims of Matrix.

If you are unable to determine exactly which photgraphic images furnished to you by Vivid are in fact images that originated with Matrix, please let us know fortwith. We will be asking Matrix to identify any of its copyrighted images of which it is aware as well.

I am sorry afor any inconvenience that the foregoing may cause you, but it is in everyone's interest that we cooperate in this joint effort.
