It's not. It's the other charges they slapped on top to justify it.

Ahh, so they're fraudulently charging him in order to justify it.

Why haven't the US attorneys responsible for this been disbarred?

Because the charges aren't fraudulent.

They're dependent upon the secondary copyright infringement charge, but racketeering and money laundering are quite serious.

Why should racketeering and money laundering be more serious than the underlying crimes?

Those charges seem serious because they're associated with organized crime, but that's not the case here.
