Because FAT32 uses 32-bit pointers to indicate file size. The maximum file size for 32-bit addressing is 4 GB. Most modern file systems use 64-bit addressing, allowing file sizes into the terabytes.

How can I pull the files off of my old Hard Drive?

(The following assumes that the hard disk is still in working condition.) If the hard disk is in a computer, you can connect it with another computer over a network, and copy the files over the network. You can also connect the old hard disk to your new computer (using a second hard disk cable); in this case, if you manage to make it work, you can copy the files from one disk to another. In this case, the copying itself should be much faster than copying files over a network.

What is peer to peer copyright infringement?

That would probably be copyright infringement by copying files over a peer-to-peer network. It is very easy to share files over such a peer-to-peer network (such as LimeWire, Kazaa, eMule, etc.), so you can easily share, or upload, both legal and illegal files, i.e. files which you are, and which you are not, allowed to copy according to copyright laws.
