... and another thing ...
... BMG claims 1,397 supposed alleged infringement accusations ( nothing ever proven ) ...
... over a period of 1,028 days ...
... equals approximately 1-and-1/3rd accusation per day ...
... all happening somewhere within Cox's 6,000,000 online customers each day ...
... ( times multiple users who are routed behind each of Cox's Internet service hookups ) ...
... equals 1.35 / 6,000,000+ = um, help me out here, what's the percentage ...
... 0.0000225% ( yes, FOUR zeros less than 1% ) of Cox's customer relations ...
... and Cox is somehow legally required by the DMC to pay inordinate attention to the 0.0000225% of it's customers who have absolutely no legal accusations nor convictions against them ...
... and Cox got dinged 0.27% of their revenue ...
... that equals a 1,200,000% fine ...
... yes, one-million-point-two percent fine ...
... so ... for every $1 Cox earned from their accused BMG-infringing ( no evidence, no proof, no court action, no conviction ) customers ...
... Cox PAID $1,200,000 dollars ...
... Judicial review to TOSS THAT JUDGE, please !
__________
And ( once I open a spreadsheet, stand back ! ) ...
... BMG's claim of 1,397 file share infringements ...
... now earning BMG $25,000,000 ...
... equals BMG claiming that their intellectual property is worth $17,895.49 EACH to their potential customers ...
... yes, BMG claims that each of their files is worth $17,895.49 ...
... now, not that I question BMG, ( oh, no, never ) ...
... but I can walk into Walmart and get BMG disks for a whole lot less than $17,895.49 per disk ...
Again ...
... Judicial review to TOSS THAT JUDGE, please !
