I was downloading a song using emule, and i noticed that the download speed was abnormally fast. After i opened the file it said: MP3 Music: Licence Acquisition. I was just wondering is there any way that will lead to me being caught? Is there something to worry about or should i not pay any attention to it?

Probably not. Most likely it was a DRM protected music. I would recommend running PeerGuardian as it helps block the "bad guys"

I once got a notice form my service provider cause i was downloading some movie that was recently released (i forgot the name)

Usually they don't care what you download as long as its not recent and the authors/developers/publishers aren't on the prowl. You should be fine

It was probably just a popular file. Some times on Emule you are able to download files very quickly.

Try to download verified mp3 (ed2k links from forums) and not from emule searh. The probability of being caught it's a little higher but you know what you're donwloading. Also watch for the comments on the file when your downloading.
