Looks like the NY arrests were just a small part:

Anonymous' arrests tied to PayPal DDoS attacks, FBI says

Computerworld - The FBI said this afternoon that it had arrested a total of fourteen individuals thought to belong to the Anonymous hacking group for their alleged participation in a series of distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) against PayPal last year.

The defendants, all of whom are in their 20s or early 30s, were arrested on no-bail arrest warrants in a series of raids in Alabama, California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts and five other states. All of them were charged in an indictment that was unsealed in federal court in San Jose today.

Their alleged crimes are a bit more than just downloading music.
