Which is more than:
- all of the money in the world
- the
cumulative sum of money that the entire music industry has made since Edison’s invention
of the phonograph in 1877

Mind you, Atlantic are probably still paying for Led Zeppelin's coke habit, and they are
part of the RIAA. So fair's fair. And coming up with that EQ curve for vinyl costs money
too, you know.

I think they are using quantum accounting theory. The $72T is he amount currently owed
across the multiverse... When, the final QBIT accounting calculations are made it
collapses the probability wave to an actual data point. This is around $42.97 plus local
taxes. This of course all works like this because while the theory is based on
the fact the universe is curved, the accountants are likely to be actually bent.
