That's $6 Billion a year. You think that's a rounding error ? 
Does this kind of return seem to be a reasonable factor on the
investment made to create the technology ?  
By the way, I'm not sure your figures are based on anything. The terms
for mass distribution of content were not specified in the press release
from MPEGLA. 
Best, Yuval
