Why? If the machine isn't counting correctly as its inputting the numbers into the database, meaning the input is flawed, how is it going to magically correct itself when its numbers are sent to another machine? At that point, the second machine could hiccup and report "corrected" numbers that aren't.
Fix the problem in the first place, then decide whether or to recount. Its like rearranging the keys on your keyboard, and typing a letter which you send to a friend before printing out and reading. Why would anyone be surprised when both letters look funny, but identical?
The RIAA, et al. will figure out music has evoled when they themselves find a way to evolve so they don't lose their profits and power. And while they weren't tracking those kids down, they were trying to legislate it then too. Have you heard the story of the Pirate Bay logo? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Taping_is_Killin g_Music
