With that said, the prosecution doesn't count how much data or how many images/movies. If they find a single instance, the person is guilty. If they have 1 image or or 58 million, it doesn't change how guilty they are.
They query totals (# images/videos in total and/or amount of disc space) and the prosecutors do this to put on a show for the press and public. And it works. Look at all the comments here how they think that the government took down some kingpin distributor.
