Well, no-one really lost anything, but I see what you mean. Jammy lil' guy eh? Fancy buying one song and ending up with 10,000 free ones. Plus an iPod and a PowerBook...

IMO they should keep awarding the iPods to every 100,000th song.

100,000,000 songs ... that's about 10 million albums (if each album has an average of 10 songs).

or... 100 million albums if each contained a one long song

Put the PB up on eBay. Can you imagine how much you'd get for that?

One of the ipods, the 97,700,000song downloaded won't be valid. The person downloaded "Combat Baby by Metric" which was a free download, and ineligable to win.
