> Is the value for the owners, or for the use that the "infringer" gets from them?
I believe it's neither, but rather the value that the owner asserts (and can get a court to agree with). A single copy of a single song isn't worth $1,000, but I believe recent RIAA suits have valued songs as such. Who's to say a few short clips of local news broadcasts aren't worth as much?
