I though the max they could get was 5000? I also though that made it so it wasn't worth there time. I now in the US they would ask for millions and then settle out of court. Here it doesn't seem like the numbers line up.

I like how they worded it not more the $50,000 when they are limited by the law which allows for "a sum of not less than $100 or more than $5,000 as the court considers just." for all non-commercial infringement. So they get $5000 max out of someone torrenting a movie.

I love how these are worded to scare you.
