Lingo - Statutory Damages
Monetary damages obtainable by a copyright owner of a work for its infringement. The amount is at the discretion of the court, but ranges from $500 up to $20,000 for each infringement, and up to $100,000 if the infringement was willful. If actual damages and profits attributable to the infringement would be greater than statutory damages, the copyright owner can choose to seek those instead.
