Wait what??? Neither servers nor laptops have any sort of "average HD size". This comparison seems quite stupid. It's not only apples and oranges to compare the two but provides no meaningful data at all....

The comparison is entirely for the purpose of converting the numbers to a scale familiar (and shocking) to the median member of the jury pool.
I'm quite certain that lawyers for the defense would have preferred to say that the seizure and search of the servers was the equivalent of kicking down the doors of 100 homes in your neighborhood, and taking 100 of your neighbors' laptops, merely on the suspicion that they might have unlicensed copies of movies and music on them. And your neighbors are good, hardworking people who already have piles of legitimately purchased CDs and DVDs next to their laptops. They care for their cute babies, and refrain from kicking puppies and kittens at all times. The smell of fresh-baked apple pies frequently wafts across your lawn from their windowsills, along with the sounds of the neighborhood kids playing sandlot baseball. But why would a wookiee live on Endor? It makes no sense!
At that time, the judge reminds the defense that Kim Dotcom is the accused, and you stop that crap right now, or you'll get sanctioned.
Lawyers may have greater professional consequences if they are caught knowingly telling outright lies in certain contexts, but it is absolutely not the case that they cannot knowingly tell outright lies.
This thread adds nothing interesting to the conversation. Please just stop.
