I doubt if you were in any legal trouble they would email you, which could allow you to hide from the law, just ignore it mate, check the email address, also keep in mind there are programs to send emails from any email address

Who sent the email? If it's a "legal firm" sending out mass lawsuit threat emails, it's safe to ignore.

Trust me on this if they sent you a email then it is more than likely a fake the real goverment has the technology to use your email to grant themself access to personal documents such as address and other types of sensitive information so if you where to get anything you would get a letter

It's not fake, abuse@charter is their legitimate address for this. I'm not sure if they have a "strike" policy or if they'll terminate your service on a case-to-case basis, but you should consider finding a private tracker and staying away from current and popular torrents. Avoid movie torrents.
