The RIAA represents only record companies, not the artists, who get only pennies
from each CD sold, and even then don't get paid until their "debt" to the record
companies is paid off. The real world wholesale price the record companies get
is about 70 cents a track. The fantasy figures they are so fond of quoting in the
press are theoretical "statutory" (punitive) damages which they never will get in
real courts.
