Digiprotect in US?

An anonymous correspondent has written to us, indicating that the German company "Digiprotect", which engages in RIAA-style tactics on a contingent basis in Europe, is now operating in the United States.

If you have any information on Digiprotect demanding "settlements" from US residents, I would appreciate your letting me know about it, either by submitting a comment to this post, or by email.

(In case you want to find out a little bit more about exactly what Digiprotect is, you might want to start with this report by Jon Newton of p2pnet.net.)

Thanks.
