I think it's $20k per "infringement," which is probably per song, not per copy. I suspect that a corporation that grabs someone's book and publishes it w/o permission is fined per print run, not per individual copy sold.
It's possible that each sales *contract* counts as an infringement, so records of their distributors might be relevant.
