You have two options: 1. Access the settlement. This is like an admission of guilt as they will record that you viewed the settlement. If you access the settlement and subsequently reject it, they will almost certainly sue you and win in court. The settlement offer is likely $1,750 USD or so per infringement. 2. Do not access the settlement and go underground. Then you're hoping that you don't win the lawsuit lottery of the people to whom they've sent settlement offers. Of course, since you have admitted guilt here in a public setting, your only ethical and moral option is number 1. That said, since you have also admitted to destroying evidence in comments here, the settlement may no longer be an option, and you may have subjected yourself to many thousands of additional damages and possible criminal penalties if you haven't sufficiently anonymized yourself. There is also a third option of disputing the cease and desist (i.e. arguing that they are mistaken), but I would wager that you would lose that argument.
