The court may grant relief for an infringement of copyright by way of injunction, damages or – alternatively to damages – an account of profits. Criminal penalties are also available.
In cases of innocent infringement, where the defendant was unaware or had no grounds for suspecting that their act constituted infringement, damages are unavailable. However, in these circumstances, copyright holders may be entitled to an account of profits for revenue from the infringing works.
The court has discretion to award additional damages. In doing so, the court must consider, among other factors, the flagrancy of the infringement, the need to deter similar infringements, the conduct of the defendant, whether the infringement involved conversion of a work and the benefits that accrued to the defendant by virtue of the defendant's infringement.
