The copyright holder must notify the ISP of copyright infringement, and 
I believe they must also provide some form of evidence (such as an IP 
address in a log or something). If the infringement has occurred within 
a certain number of days, the the ISP will send out a notice of 
infringement.

You may challenge this notice, or you may ignore it.

There's more to it, but the key point here is, the copyright holder must 
notify the ISP first. You can't be accused of piracy with accusation 
from the copyright holder.
