I would suggest that you write back and point out that an organisation calling themselves "Copyright Europe" should stay out of Europe until they understand the meanings of "Directive 95/46/EC" and "Directive 2000/31/EC".
They are a marketing organisation, why should they act in a legal way ? Sarcasm intended.
[The former is the basis of the Data Protection Act, with a requirement to keep personal data up to date. The latter is the Electronic Commerce Directive, which absolves ISPs from *all* legal responsibility for material where they act as a "mere conduit", which certainly applies to Gnutella, even where they are aware of it.]
