Good advice, Bev. Max, there is something called the Copyright Tribunal that is supposed to be the watchdog for copyright protection of music. These creeps are acting as though it is a done deal and it is not. At this point it is their very iffy word against yours; two private citizens, so to speak. For anything to be criminal a district attorney would have to get involved, investigate, interrogate, and decide if there were enough to charge you with, very doubtful. I think this would be strictly civil. They still would have to identify exactly what you are bing accused of.

MUDDERS: TO CONTRIBUTE, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CLICK ON THE "QUICK LINK", PULL DOWN THE MENU AND CLICK ON "CONTACT US". That will give you the addy, etc. FOR THOSE OF YOU IN THE UK AND EUROPE, YOU CAN DO IT BY CREDIT CARD, just go to the SHOP & Auction or to Support the Mudcat to find out how.
