Are you kidding me? Of course it's overreacting. That's a disproportionate responce to the situation. Even if they were accusing you (and they're not, they're asking if you are using a legit copy) it's not as if your life is on the line or your family is in danger. Plus, there are many other reasons it's foolish to react physically without getting more details first.

Afterall, you can't go around accusing somebody of something like theft.

A question like that is nothing more than a veiled accusation.
