Please keep in mind that Amazon is running a variant of content-id and may mistakenly think that your files are infringing someones rights:

As I mentioned in another comment, you can avoid all that by using encfs, which encrypts the files before they ever reach amazon.

Edit: Just read the first reddit post. I call BS on anyone using encfs consistently and receiving a legitimate email from Amazon. Unless they've broken strong encryption, there's just no way.

Or they could just be using it as an excuse to get rid of high usage (non profitable) users. Encrypted files + you use a lot of storage and bandwidth = get kicked off.
