    Read the freaking website From the FAQ: "Restrictions on re-selling codes Q: Can I purchase these codes and re-sell them to customers for my promotion?

    Notice the part of the web page that says:
    The minimum volume purchase is 25,000 songs for commercial entities and 10,000 songs for colleges and universities.
    This isn't a "$0.99 each, or 10 for $8" deal, so this won't make a difference for the vast majority of us.
