There are statutory damages of $750 to $30,000 per work assigned to copyright infringement. Under certain circumstances, the courts may lower this amount to $200 per work, or increase it to $150,000.
Plaintiffs multiplied the number of works Anna's Archive has claimed to have acquired times $150,000 to come up with their number.
