MS values replacement disks for Win 7 Pro at twice that.

  In this case MS put a value of $20 per disc. The prosecution put a value of $25 per disc - that's the cost to refurbishers of the MS supplied discs. The defence tried to claim that the discs are worthless without the licence, and should be valued at either nothing or $3 each. That defence failed because he spent $80,000 creating the counterfeit product, and you don't spend that much money on worthless items.

    People spend money on "worthless" things all the time, and as a person who wants to reduce e-waste Eric would have plenty reason to spend something like $80000 to further his goal (whether his belief is justified or not). He made 28,000 disks for $80000. That is $2.85 per disk. $3 is a perfectly reasonable value.
