Think big dollars!!!!

Sounds good, except... I don't know for sure... but that might not be allowed even if he gives them away. It might be considered "distribution." If you really want to know I can probably find out.
EDIT: It's not legal. If he gives them away for promotion or sells them, it comes under the compulsory license copyright statute. If you manufacture a CD, you cannot sell it or give it away without a license. As I said, it's 9.1 cents per song and I am pretty sure the minimum is 1000 units but something sticks in my mind about 500. Like, maybe they reduced it to 500 minimum. I'll check.
EDIT 2: I think the 500 minimum applies to licenses obtained through the Harry Fox Agency. If otherwise, you can pay monthly.
