How do they justify the money they are asking for? If 30 songs were distributed by one guy, at $1 a song, he would have to distribute all those songs to 23,600 people. And they would have to make the ridiculous assumption that all those people would have otherwise bought the songs. More likely he distributed to a dozen friends so the actual loss to the Record company is probably more like $300, again assuming they would have otherwise bought the song. In reality, maybe 1 or 2 would have. So the Record company lost say $1.50- oh but wait, they wouldn't have told their friends about it if our enemy # 1 hadn't sent it to them. Maybe they owe him money.
