I haven't laid eyes on the notice, but my impression is that it says Mediacom has received a DMCA complaint from somebody (person telling me about it said it was not MPAA or RIAA) regarding an unspecified download on [some specific date]. Recipient may file a counterclaim along w/ promise that offending file or files are deleted. General threat that future complaints could result in banishment from Mediacom service.
IIRC, content owners have stopped suing individuals but what do I know. I've read elsewhere that filing the counterclaim or asking the content owner for more information opens Pandora's box to all kinds of legal issues. I love that their definition of a counterclaim is essentially admitting guilt. The automated systems sending out DMCA notices are notoriously inaccurate. Apparently, judges have declared these errant DMCA notices to not be perjurous because the sender "didn't mean it." LOL
Throw it out pretend it never happened, stop 'sharing' your torrent files because that's how they get you. Carry on.
