Copyright Infringement Email Phishing

I can't believe I have infringed on so many copyrights.
I get this email at least 3 times a week on various websites.

Hello My Nam is _____

blah blah blah

<crazy looking link usually with google in it>

I do think you have intentionally infringed my legal rights under 17 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. and could possibly be liable for statutory damage as high as $150,000 as set forth in Section 504 (c) (2) of the Digital millennium copyright act (DMCA) therein.
I continue to ignore it. I don't click on the link. I doubt you will ever be contacted bia email if the person can prove you have done something wrong.

Have you seen this type of email yet?
Do you have anything to add?
