The penalties for infringement can be substantial. In addition to obtaining an order stopping the infringement and ordering destruction of infringing articles, the court can order payment of damages, including lost profits. The copyright owner can also elect to receive statutory damages. In addition to these civil penalties, copyright infringers can be prosecuted under the federal criminal laws. Willful copyright infringement can be a criminal offense. The lowest penalty is conviction of a federal misdemeanor, with a prison sentence of up to one year and a fine of up to $100,000. More serious penalties are levied against infringers who make multiple copies of a work. It is a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 to willfully infringe copyrights of others by making, during a 180-day period, ten or more copies of a work which have a cumulative value of $2500 or more. Second and subsequent offenses carry a prison term of up to ten years in addition to the fine. Companies which willfully infringe can be assessed up to $500,000 in fines.
