Jan. 23, 2023)).

The Honorable Judge Kuntz continues:

“Plaintiff was unable to conduct discovery or gather information.Plaintiff’s licensing structure is a strong proxy for calculating damages.Given the circumstances of the instant case, an award of statutory damages in the amount of $71,928.00 ($35,964.00 x 2) under 17 U. S. C. § 504 (c)(2) is appropriate to compensate Plaintiff for the damages suffered, to create a strong disincentive against infringers intentionally hiding the profits from their infringing conduct in the hope of earning more than they can be held accountable for in actual damages, and to deter future violations of copyright law …”
