But you need to define "for years." Since before 1997? If so, then it becomes significant. If not, it's just another infringer.

I know at least GetRight was first released in February of 1997[1]... dont know if there is anything older than that... probably some command line tools though...
Also usenet downloading by parts has been around before that, from memory at least 1994-1995
