In either case they would likely pay a royalty for the payment method. When downloading music the user wants instant download - that means authorization must happen in real time, and would be within their patent. As far as the first patent is concerned, what is being sold doesn't matter - its how is it sold. the only reason I looked at downloads, is they will likely need real time payment.
