The same botnet can back an infinite number of these ransom notices, because when you get one of these ransom notices you have no way of knowing if the ransom notice you got today is the same botnet you paid off last week but with a different name.
Add in the fact that there are botnets available to rent, and you create a near-infinite supply.
