What happens after my Internet Provider sends me a letter regarding copyright infringement?

More details to this question:
I received a letter a couple of days ago from my internet provider. They said I have been caught illegally downloading a movie, the Hurt Locker and that Voltage productions filed a subpoena. We can file an Objection letter but is that effective? Is there any other way to solve this problem?

Just sit tight - chances are nothing will come of it. Note that if the movie was registered with the copyright office within 90 days of first publication they may sue for statutory damages. Besides a subpoena requires a lawsuit to be filed first.
