		Copyright violations hurt the entertainment industry and the actors, musicians, and artists who would receive royalties on sales of their performances but get nothing from bootlegged copies.
		To date, copyright violations that have been reported to Wake Forest for investigation have been handled through University processes.Because copyright violation is a federal crime, however, the entertainment industry has the right to insist upon criminal prosecution.
		Violators may also face federal criminal charges as well as court costs and attorney's fees for the recording industry, which can be substantial since large entertainment corporations are likely to hire expensive attorneys to protect their substantial interests in relation to this issue.

	Remedies for Web Site Copyright Infringement
		If your copyrighted work is displayed illegally on a website, you may be able to take advantage of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA"), codified at 17 U.S.C., to convince the ISP to delete the infringing material from the ISP's servers or to prevent it from being accessed.
		Although copyright litigation can be very expensive, a copyright owner who has a good case may win damages equal to lost profits plus profits derived by the infringer from the copyrighted material and an injunction.
		Subject to the approval of the court, copyright plaintiffs may also obtain the powerful strategic weapons of: (i) a temporary restraining order that prohibits the infringer from infringing the copyrighted work, and (ii) a court order authorizing the U.S. marshal to seize the allegedly infringing material.

	Copyright infringement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Copyright infringement (or copyright violation) is the unauthorized use of material that is protected by intellectual property rights law particularly the copyright in a manner that violates one of the original copyright owner's exclusive rights, such as the right to reproduce or perform the copyrighted work, or to make derivative works that build upon it.
		Copyright notices—often just a simple statement on the work itself of the year protection was acquired and by whom—are not always a good indication of whether a work is protected because most countries do not require such formalities, and so lack of notice does not mean lack of protection.
		Copyright misuse, the exploitive or restrictive use of a copyright by its legal holder, is sometimes informally called reverse piracy.

		The primary issue is that it is not copyrighted because neither its author(s) nor its publisher has asserted copyright protection by submitting two copies to the Library of Congress as required for works published after March 1989.

	- Bill targets firms that 'induce' copyright violations - Internet Business News
		The bill doesn't set up new criminal or civil penalties for those who "induce" copyright violations, but it creates a new class of people who can be sued or prosecuted for copyright infringement -- those who a "reasonable person" would believe "intentionally aids, abets, induces or procures" copyright violations.
		The "reasonable person" standard is a broadening of the standard that usually applies to contributory or vicarious copyright infringement, said Public Knowledge, an advocacy group focused on copyright law.
		Currently, civil penalties for copyright infringement can be up to US$30,000 per act of infringement, or up to $150,000 per act of willful infringement.

		As far as I know, it hasn't been conclusively decided that fanfiction is an illegal violation of copyright (since the author's text is original work in and of itself), although it may involve a violation of trademark (depending on the fandom; some companies trademark names to protect their merchandising).
		In practical terms, as opposed to the letter of the law, actual copyright violations on the Internet are unlikely to result in action unless they involve a) plagiarism (claiming undue credit for the work), b) redistribution (e.g.
