In order to establish a claim for copyright infringement, the copyright holder must show that (1) a valid copyright exists, (2) the infringing party had access to the copyrighted work, and (3) the allegedly unlawful use does not fall within the copyright exceptions of fair use or instruction.
為證明侵害著作權，著作權人須證明：（1）有著作權。（2）侵權人接觸著作。（3）無合理使用情形。
The courts provide a variety of legal remedies for copyright infringement, ranging from monetary damages to injunctive relief. If a court finds a party liable of copyright infringement, the court may require the party to pay damages, which may include the legal fees and costs associated with the underlying suit. Alternatively, injunctive relief will require the infringing party to cease all future unlawful use of the copyrighted work. The court may also confiscate any infringing works, to the extent that a physical product exists. The infringing party may also serve jail time if the infringement is criminal in nature.
法律對侵害著作權規定有數種救濟途徑，從金錢賠償到禁制令都有。倘法院判決一方須就著作權侵害負責時，其主文應對應原告訴之聲明（美國法是否如此，尚須查找資料以確定之）；通常為損害賠償，包括律師費及因訴訟而生之費用；禁止令要求侵權人停止違法繼續利用著作。法院亦可沒收侵權著作，範圍係既存的有體物；假如性質上係刑事違法，侵權人可能受徒刑處罰自屬當然。
