"the patent that covers the downloading of music and video with the ability to play music and video on a device"
Yes, that is pretty major, but it is also VERY broad in the sense that at the time the technology was limited in being able to play songs and video from a computer. I remeber downloading MIDI files to my computer, to listen to, back in 1994, are those covered under this patent as well?
They're not making unlimited copies and selling them, which would be illegal; they are providing the convienence, to the consumer, of not having to move all of those movies over at home.
the memory controllers now support full 48-bit hardware addressing, which theoretically allows for 256 terabytes of physical memory. 256 terabytes should be enough for anybody.

"Pornbits, which gives out free cracked user names and passwords to pay sites"
Those torrents were covered under Operation Afternoon D-Elite.
