That's not how copyright infringements work.. the penalties are based
on loss of revenue. If you are about to release a new album and
somebody dumps mp3's of it all the internet then theoretically less
people will buy your album because they can just download it.

Now if you album is out of print and you relaly have no intention of
re-releasing it then... it would be harder to argue profit loss.

It's more like stealing profit potential...
