I randomly looked up the file size of eBooks and I got very different numbers. So, let's pick a size of 50 MB.
So if I did this right that's like 1,713,373 copyright violations assuming an average book size of 50 MBs.
That’s before the current administration’s corrupt interference through DOJ, SCOTUS etc.
