MPAA Torrent Suit Letters - Cease and desist (and save the evidence)

MPAA Torrent Suit Letters - Cease and desist (and save the evidence)

We've obtained copies of the MPAA lawsuit
letters being circulated to Bit Torrent websites and their hosts - in
this case to Torrent website "Demonoid" (Pages: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7).
In it, lawyers warn the host they've sued the operators of a Torrent
site on their network, but currently don't know their identities. The
letter to the website owner claims they face "severe sanctions"

should they delete any pirated material or usable evidence in the case
against them. As noted by users below, the IP address for the website
cited by the letter (66.250.450.10) doesn't/can't exist, a mistake
repeated throughout the letters.
