Best Answer

A person who infringes copyright can be sued by the copyright owner and taken to court. A court can order a number of things such as, the infringer must pay compensation and pay the copyrights owners costs. In some cases the infringer can be charged by the police and can be ordered to pay a fine as little as $200 or as much as $150 000, or in serious cases the infringer can be jailed.
