One of the reasons I haven't done anything about my books being illegally posted on file sharing sites is that I read something about the takedown letters becoming part of the public record. Contact information has to be included in those letters, and I have the impression that an email address isn't enough. I don't want to associate my address with my writing, not even using my post office box because it might be part of other searchable records.
Does anyone known this is supposed to work and/or what actually happens? It's possible that individual sites vary in how accessible they make those letters, so there might not be one answer.
