Found this (cached) article on a music piracy bust in Calexico.

$80,000 worth of sales lost by the music industry? I think not.

- Illegally copied music seized by police, RIAA officials at swap meet

The value of the pirated discs was put at $76,464 by RIAA representatives, who said each CD represents $16 lost to the recording industry, said Legaspi.


That, my friends, is the real crime.

You know what man, f that. These guys were just as bad as the record industry. I remember seeing them and they would sell their cd's for like 12 bucks! That is way too high for a burnt cd.

Every cd they burnt cost them like 1-2 dollars and then they turn around and sell them for 12? Some of these guys were kind of pricks too. If you tried to barter they were like, "nah."

I'm not saying that it's cool that they were arrested, but they should have had their cds confiscated.
