You won't be contacted by anyone ... if indeed somewhere in the Bizarro world they do contact you just say it was a typing error.
Piracy, by the way, occurs when you have installed and are using unlicensed software....NOT just because you attempted to.
Sleep well, my friend.

I think they are actually lying to you. You download the software from internet trackers where they will try to cheat you. Don't worry, uninstall the software and go to www.download.com and get spyware software and registry cleaner. Download.them for free and do the system clean.

Sounds to me like you better stop playing pirate and go buy a piece of software.

This has happened to me before,just an attempt to scare you into buying it.Just delete the software,and find a similar type elsewhere

well your problem seems so easy in a way since yopu said you downloaded in or free.. all you have to do is to buy it legally and ask for the license/ serial code which a softwaRE COMPANY IS ASKING TO KNOW WHETHER YOU BOUGHT IT originally or got it through a pirate/robber etc..

They are just trying to scare you. Just uninstall the software and scan your computer for spyware.
