maybe it was per CD, so avg CD = 10 tracks 13,000/10*80,000 still = OFMG PMITA

Why make the fines so high when it is obvious that there is no way anyone except a major world wide company could ever pay for that? Doesn’t the sentence just get thrown out after the case, not like anyone could pay that.

Seems like, kind of stupid of the RIAA. If they made is $5 per track, than you’d actually be able to get some money from people and at the same time have a punishment that is both reasonable, and actually have a consequence.
