Fascinating. How can you put a retail value on something that is never
sold retail? Primary example being a single track off an album.
Get yourself a good lawyer and you'd walk.... "Well, the retail value
of that album is $21, but 3 tracks were released as singles at $7
each, which puts the remaining value at $0".
