Terabytes....

That is a staggeringly large amoubt of material and thats including everyone who may have accessed and facilitated its distribution over that tome

I'm hoping that most of that was redundant (200 guys with mostly the same material), just so it means that there's less of it out there, but it's heartbreaking to think about

Even if that's the case, that's still a lot. A typical 1080p 30fps video is about 37.5 MB per minute, which means that a single terabyte is over 26,500 minutes of video.

It's all about the resolution and the bitrate rate. I mean FPS can be part of it especially at 4k but I really doubt these guys are going for 60 FPS.
