That would have been past tense, therefore, the use of send is improper.

No one but the copyright violator will ever hear from such an entity.

There, you are again half right ... the merits of the case will be
determined by the entity to which the copyright violation was reported.
That entity has no obligation to report back to the person that gave them
the information. So you can change your words to 'there may or may not be
a case'...

As Microsoft puts it;

"I reported a company for piracy. Can you tell me how the investigation is
going?"

"Microsoft devotes substantial time and energy to its fight against
software piracy, and you can be assured that it is taking the appropriate
action in response to your report."

"Many communications received by the Microsoft anti-piracy hotline are
legally privileged and confidential, as are communications within
Microsoft related to investigations. Therefore, status reports and details
regarding investigations or case matters relating to individuals or
organizations cannot be disclosed."


So, I'd say, go bark up another tree, this one is taken.
