    Of course, the repayment CDs would be chosen by the defendants, just like the RIAA got to do.

    Exactly, and they would be blank CD-R's from my mom and pop CD-R shop that I charge $1000/piece for. No I never said I actually had one customer who ever bought a CD-R for such, but I value them at $1000 and I'll give a spindle of 100 of said item for settlement, and I'll even throw the spindle in for free (a $5000 value).
