Does anyone have any understanding what happens if someone got caught selling cd's of their recordings of non licensed music?

Other than the moral issues, what's the real downside of getting busted? Payment of the proper rights fees plus a penalty? Something beyond that?

I would think if you do get caught, you're pretty screwed. I'm not sure if its worth it. You never know who gets their hands on one of those cd's. Especially if you promote it via flyers or on a website? A competitor learns of it and decides he wants to put a kink in your work and reports you...who knows?
