Kobles, who now lives in Las Vegas, pleaded guilty on the same day the felony charge was issued. He remains free on his own recognizance until his Oct. 20 sentencing.
According to the criminal complaint, Kobles and still unnamed co-conspirators made films, music videos and television shows available for sharing during a four-day period in January.
Films available for illegal downloading included "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," "National Treasure" and "A Beautiful Mind." The videos were all by Madonna while the sole television show as an episode of "The Simpsons."
