I received a Copyright Violation Notice from UD IT Security. Why? What happens next?

But I didn't do anything! Why did I receive a notice?

You mean someone saw my computer sharing copyrighted material on the internet and reported it to the University? Is this legal? What else can they do?

A friend set up my P2P application, and told me it would not share. How could these claims be true?
