In the US, though, there are statutory damages, and they can be
much, much larger than "the share of the profit", as people who
were slapped $25000 damages per $1 song found out.

Not that I don't find the statutory damages excessive (it's very clear
that US lawmakers have been in the pocket of some copyright holder
for ages), but they are what they are.
