That's interesting, thank you. If i torrent 1 movie from netflix, that's only worth about $12 (or whatever monthly subscription). Ignoring all other factors that would make it not worth it to litigate (not a legal court case but just send a letter to an ISP), this is still not worth $20.

Damages are capped at $15k and awarded by the tribunal as per: https://www.iponz.govt.nz/about-ip/copyright/file-sharing-in...
