That's civil law, not criminal. But anyway: in the US, there are (were) some extreme cases with these huge fines. That mostly happened in the hay-days Napster and BitTorrent, and to people who shared large amounts of material and decided to fight the basic tenets of copyright law in court. Nowadays, you are far more likely to receive a "notice of infringement" from your ISP that only asks you to stop without any monetary consequences for your first or second such offence. It's a bit of a gamble, but this specific niche might be one of the rare cases where I'd prefer US law in practice.
