If you qualify for statutory damages, you can claim up to $150,000 per act of infringement without even having to prove your losses. You can also claim attorney's fees, which can be very substantial in complex cases. If you registered your copyright too late to qualify for statutory damages, you can still claim any losses you can prove, plus any extra profits made by your competitor. Whether or not you qualify for statutory damages, you may seek other remedies such as an injunction against further infringement and seizure of any illegal copies of your work.
