Based on the articles numbers of 2000 MP3s that's $700 per MP3 file. With my personal collection at about 4000 that means I'm almost worth 3 million dollars!

Revised due to Gazoo's post, that makes it $915 per song, and $3 660 000USD. For me that's $4,505,481.73 CAD.

I wonder how much of that fine is going to make back to the artists.
