     or origi

     A  A rty to whom he or she transfers ownership) to make copies of
     the same f
     A  A or publication and sale.
     A  A A copyright is a legal device that gives the creator of a

     publish and se
     A  A ll that work. Copyright owners have the right to control the

     A  A distribute a copyrighted work. In the file-sharing context,
     downloading
     A  A or uploading substantial parts of a copyrighted work without
     authority
     A  A constitutes an infringement.
     A  A Penalties for copyright infringement include civil and criminal
     A  A penalties. In general, anyone found liable for civil copyright
     A  A infringement may be ordered to pay either actual damages or
     "statutory"
     A  A damages affixed at not less than $750 and not more than $30,000
     per
     A  A work infringed. For "willful" infringement, a court may award

     A  A $150,000 per work infringed. A court can, in its discretion,
     also
     A  A assess costs and attorneys' fees. For details, see Title 17,
