Hi, can you send me copy of the video too? You have me email address.

I'm torn between asking them to put up or shut up, and maybe just not confirming they got an address that still works.

Nah. Don't reply back.

If all else use VPN if there's any tracking image in the email, and reply back with bogus information.
