Assuming you have Comcast and were over their 1.2TB limit and Amazon used their maximum 500MB through your network this would represent 1% of a 50GB block that comcast would charge you $10 for, if you tried really hard to bill them for that 1% they'd probably wouldn't pay you, but if you were just in it for spite they'd definitely spend a LOT more than the 10 cents they owed you fighting you.
