Which brings up the core issue. If the RIAA can claim X value per download in order to sue someone, then there has to be some real-world basis for that. What does an artist get per song on a CD? And if the RIAA can claim they are owed that from "illegal" copying... then there must be some implicit though unexplored legal right that 45/cassette/8-Track/LP/CD owners should NOT be charged over and over to listen to the same song just because they upgrade formats. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
