Normally the terms of service you agree to with an ISP state that they are allowed to disclose your name and details for example, to the police, if they request them. I don't think it's particularly pleasant even though I don't generally download anything 'naughty' (though, like 99% of the internet connected population I've had the odd mp3 here and there) but there's little anyone can do about it.
