Default Help! (copyright warning from ISP)

I received this email from my ISP. What does this mean? Is this a warning, or am I in HUGE trouble? I don't even think we meant to download this, we were just trying to learn how limewire works and how to use it.

let them know that you have removed the offending content from your computer and tell them it won't happen again...simple as that...

and from the wording of the email you probably have sharing enabled (which is what almost always gets you into trouble)...its rare to receive a DMCA complaint for just downloading...

Actually, don't tell them anything. Don't even reply to their email in any way. Just
stop sharing that particular file. Doing anything else could identify you to the
copyright holder or give them an opportunity to sue.
