Best Answer

In the United States, anyone found to have infringed a copyrighted work may be liable for statutory damages up to $30,000 for each work infringed and, if willful infringement is proven by the copyright owner, that amount may be increased up to $150,000 for each work infringed. In addition, an infringer may also be liable for the attorney's fees incurred by the copyright owner to enforce his or her rights

There are also provisions for criminal prosecutions of copyright infringement and, if convicted, a prison sentence of up to 10 years can be incurred.
