This is one of the best arguments for tort reform one could imagine. I seem to recall that worldwide sales of recorded music are in the range of $24 billion. So $1.5 trillion in damages, is... let's see, gotta keep track of the zeros... roughly 62 years of global music industry revenues. That sounds about right, and should roughly compensate the industry for the lost sales.

Make your students think critically and mathematically about the world around them for the rest of their lives.
