Will Someone Recieving A Notice Of Action Under The Digital Millenium Copyright Act Face Legal Consequences?

My friend recently was emailed by Comcast which said: Notice of Action under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act…..ABuse number: —
Dear comcast highspeed internet subscriber:
Comcast has received a notification by a copyright owner reporting an alleged infringment of one or more copyrighted works made on or over comcasts highspeed internet service. The works copyrighted by the copyright owner are: ………. comcast reminds you that the use of the service in any manner that constitutes an infringement of any copyrighted work is a violation of comcasts acceptable use policy and may result in termination of your service account.
This is only a notice from comcast saying that some copyright owner has contacted comcast…so he hasnt her from the copyright owner yet. What do you think will happen to him? Sued? just a warning?

this is an obvious scam. if you accually subscribe to comcast as ISP they know your name and would not ever send a message addressed to “Dear Customer” Compare to your monthly billing statement, see how it is addressed.
second Comcast knows your physical address because they had to connect the cable and set up billing, so they would have sent an “official” notice by mail. No court would accept an email as giving legal notice.

What copyright software did he download first off? Do they have proof?
and emailed? Who the hell emails you a notice like this? Snail mail is more like it if its truly serious. Maybe this is just a fraud.
