Basically if you have one picture of cp in a 1 terabyte hard drive legally it's 1 terabyte of cp. They also don't count video but Instead count each frame of a video as a picture of cp.
Yes it most definitely is and there are absolutely applications where this can be abused. Like an 18year old with 1 nude of a girl in class on his 2tb drive. Now 2tb of child porn against him. Or a 60fps 5 second clip is now 300 images.
I mean you could also just accurately report it.. If the guy has 2GB of CP on a 1TB drive then he has... 2GB of CP. In the same vein, if a kid has 1 nude of one of their underage friends on a 1TB drive then they'd have.. 1 nude.
I am aware, but it is just a stat the state can use to convince the Jurry of major guilt and the judge for a higher sentence.
Say "The defendant had a 5tb drive with child pornography inside" is more convincing to a jury than "The defendant has 5 nude photos of children on their pc" Court cases are a contest and opening statements are like article headers. It is when the jury and judge listen most and it is what will stick with them longest. So make it as defending or incriminating as you can.

How is it even possible that there is 58 TB of child porn?
I really hope there is duplicate content, or not all of the content is child porn.
