If this is a "slap on the wrist", cease and desist, then take it and be thankful.

The scenario:

You download something on P2P filesharing.

Since this also share the parts you have already got, your IP address is then noted by a copyright protection snooper and reported.

The complaint goes to your ISP, and (in "slap on the wrist" mode) is forwarded to you, so you stop.

IF aiming for more severe enforcement, but with the negative publicity that entails, then they would be demanding your details from the ISP.

Get caught a second time, and you could be up to your neck in it!
