Thing is, they name a figure that’s big. The value of all the pirated everythings expressed in terms of first-release retail point of sale. Gazillion$.
Judge, media, public say “stupid figure. Only a tiny fraction of all those would have been actual sales, because you charge too much.” And they’d be right.
Go with a genuine low figure, stooping for sympathy. Everyone laughs and says “what a little one! is that what all the fuss is about?!!”
Judge should require they go, at the minimum, with a quantified, validated, independently verified, with some big names on it, people who can’t afford to embarrass themselves, range of figures.
