i have 512k adsl
when i download from newsgroups, i get a steady 59kB/sec
there are 86400 seconds in a day
therefore, i can download approx 4.86GB per day
an average 192k mp3 file is 5.5MB or so
therefore, i can download approx 904 mp3's per day
in an average 30 day month, i can download 27120 mp3's
my adsl costs just over 23 pounds a month
therefore, i pay 0.08 pence per track
if the authorities can match that, i'd pay for it
(i'm not naive enough to believe anyone 'in charge' will do anything but laugh at this, but it's surprising how little i pay)
