If they have your IP address, they certainly COULD get your name and address from your ISP. If you are using stolen software, you should uninstall it.

Absolutely do not respond to them in any manner! It could also be a phishing expedition.
and if you do have illegal software shame, uninstall and buy your own as the previous post mentioned.

Don't use stolen software. It is very easy to track you via your ISP.

If you are borrowing the software and your friend uninstalled it AND the EULA (which doesn't mean much , but some take it very serioulsy) says you can lend it...make sure to clear it up with your ISP and the vendor.
