    They are not a trillion dollae revenue company, not to defend them but it would still hurt. Assuming 50% of the UK population is paying £2 a month for 1tb of storage that £70m a month which is £840m a year. The fine would be three and half years earnings on this product.

        Comparing the euro price is 2.99 for 1tb so I asumed the £ price would be rounded and lower.
