      $250k * [every book in existence] is literally nothing?

      Remember, “offense” doesn’t mean “per torrent,” it means “per copyrighted work infringed.”

      Average ebook size: 2.5 MB or so.

      Meta downloaded 81 TB, or 81,000,000 MB.

      81,000,000 / 2.5 = Approx 30 million books.

      30,000,000 books * $250,000 per offence = $7.5 trillion
