i guess the question then is how much would you make on, say, 2000 bootlegged copies of this type?
If you go through a regular distributor and pressing plant and sell every copy, about EUR/USD 1500-2000. If you press illegally (and hence don't pay artists rights, which seems like a fair assumption in this case...), add another 1000 EUR/USD. If you are prepared to go through the hassle of doing your own distribution, add EUR/USD 2000 to your profit, again assuming you sell everything.
As any record label owner can testify, selling records is not interesting as a source of income unless you sell several thousand copies, which is rather rare these days... The real money is in getting it licensed.
