What is the physical weight of our digitally stored data?

I was working on a project once that had fairly strict media guidelines for art creation that was being completed by oversea vendors. There was an innocuous typo for the limitation of video file sizes that erroneously read videos must be no larger than 50mg. Obviously, the acronym for milligrams was used instead of the intended MB for megabytes.

If the guidelines say we need to keep our videos less than or equal to 50mg we are actually saying that the maximum file size of the video is 81,636.51 gigabytes, or around 81.64 terabytes.

I can only imagine the rendering time required for a video of that size.
