That's the nice way of dealing with that situation.  A Cease&Desist
notice with lawyer fees attached is the neutral way.  Suing for
statutory and/or estimated damages (based on download numbers, possibly
estimated) is the non-nice way.

It depends on jurisdictions, public relations, the size and workload of
the respective legal department which of those options (and/or others)
will be chosen.  Also on whether the legal department is budgeted in a
manner where it is supposed to contribute to its salaries.

In short: it's not a good plan to rely on any particular kind of
response.
