In all fairness, meta should be assessed a fee of 250k per EACH pirated work.
This would amount to forfeiting all assets to doge.
They might end up having to pay more money than exists on the planet at that rate.

Yes, that one.
I’m a reasonable man so I’ll allow it.
Assuming 2.6 MB per book.
81 TB would be 32,667,175 books.
At $250k per book that would come out to:
$8.17 trillion.
And I'd guess all that money would then go to military funding, with Anna's Archive, again getting nothing out of it?
It would go to... Uh...
