Personally if I was not using the image I would ignore them, not legal advice but that's me.

Some people just send out dmca notices without a cause, you could be one of those victims.

Last year or was it this year there was a story how some people got busted for sending out threatening dmca letters. I'll try dig up the link to the story.

If you have the infringing content on your site and leave it up you are playing with fire. I strongly suggest you do not ignore it if it is a valid complaint.

If what you posted is the fact then you have nothing to even think about, ignore it.
