I'm no expert on this, but I have studied the CFR containing the FCC rules. I would think $1,000,000 is excessive and unreasonable. Further, and the interesting part, the rules state that the complete burden for enforcing a restriction is on the entity intending to impose that restriction. Their recourse is to file a formal petition with the FCC (which I understand takes up to a year for a decision) and in the meantime, they must suspend all enforcement of the restriction. They can not penalize you, fine you, seek attorney fees, etc during this period. Lastly, in the event the FCC were to rule against you, you have 21 days to comply and take it down. During this period they can't fine you, penalize you, or seek attorney fees.
It seems, if you are sure you are within the rules, i.e. proper size dish and antenna (less than one meter unless you are in Alaska) and are fully within your exclusive use area, you could just go ahead and say sc&%# you.
Now, I haven't personally taken this approach, but that's what the rules seem to say.
