Its only considered piracy and is illegal by some people. I think that it's complete bullsh*t. As for the number, I can't say wheather thats true or not, really the *******s can sue for whatever amount they want. The chances of you getting caught are very low. Its more just a threat from the RIAA/MPAA. But you can check out other posts about this in these forums.
