"The NET Act amends the definition of "commercial advantage or private financial gain" to include such things as MP3 files and specified penalties of up to five years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines."

~ do they mean that the MP3 files are considered "private financial gain"?

~ It ammends section 101 of the Copyright Act to make financial gain to mean anything of value including recieving other copyrighted works. See the AHRA (Audio Home Recording Act) article to see examples of how it interacts and why it conflicts with the AHRA.
