I can easily see the following scenario: Some Amazon script gets, from each Kindle, a list of all books and their DRM status. It then compares the DRM status with that of the books when bought from Amazon. If it finds one that has been de-DRM'd, it outputs an automatic letter, contents of your choice, to be sent off to the person in question.

I and a few others just posted about the possibilities vs the likelihood of those things in this thread:

Regarding the OP's question, I think if she got one of those letters, she'd have lawyers lined up at her door to fight for her pro-bono. A lot of lawyers would love to be the ones to crash and burn the dcma, and a situation like this one would be a dream come true for them.
Also, as we all know, Amazon and publishers are not exactly friends these days.
They are not pro-DRM, and they would undoubtedly fight publishers' subpoenas to get userdata. They aren't as PR blind stupid as publishers.
