Interesting that they even put this number forward as (a) it was pretty obviously going to be dismissed, but more importantly (b) exposes the nonsense maths that is being used in these situations.

There is I think increasing awareness that the RIAA and others are making demands which, let's put it politely, rather distort the real picture. If I were them I certainly wouldn't be doing things like this that bring attention to these numbers with little real benefit.
