Statutory damages for copyrightinfringement are available under some countries copyright law s. The charges allow copyright holders, who succeed with claims of infringement, to receive an amount of compensation per work as opposed to compensation for losses, an account of profits or damages per infringing copy . Statutory damages can in some cases be significantly more than the actual damages suffered by the rightsholder or the profits of the infringer. At least in the United States, the original rationale for statutory damages was that it would often be difficult to establish the number of copies that had been made by an underground pirate business and awards of statutory damages would save rightsholders from having to do so. Statutory Damages in the United States In the United States copyright law United States , statutory damages are set out in http www.law.cornell.edu uscode html uscode17 usc sec 17 00000504 000 .html Title 17, Section 504 of the U.S. Code . The basic level of damages is between 750 and 30,000 per work, at the discretion of the court. Plaintiff s who can show willful infringement may be entitled to damages up to 150,000 per work. Defendant s who can show that they were not aware and had no reason to believe they were infringing copyright may have the damages reduced to 200 per work. Under http www.law.cornell.edu uscode html uscode17 usc sec 17 00000412 000 .html 17 USC 412 , statutory damages are only available in the United States for works that were copyright registration registered with the United States Copyright Office Copyright Office prior to infringement, or within three months of publication.
