Don't pay. If you did download it, get a magnet and run it in one direction several times over your hard drive.

Ignore it and do not enter into any contact. If more come, ignore them. They will never send anyone around or take you to court. They just try and scare people. IGNORE!

Just ignore them as the others said or you could try and ring the police, but if you actually downloaded it then nevermind about the police thing.

Its not just that though, the letter looks so dodgey, and the site does not look proffessional at all...

which gives you even more reason to ignore it! They are probably trying to scam money out of you for something you havent done!
