What are the penalties? You get 2 warning notices then the 3rd notice Then the copyright owner can take you to the Copyright Tribunal Depending upon circumstances, the penalty is up to a maximum $15,000 payable to the copyright owner The person who owns the Internet account (account holder) is liable, even if he or she wasn’t the person who broke the law You can be disconnected from the internet for up to 6 months Allegations of copyright infringement made against you (the account holder) by the copyright owner are presumed to be correct unless you give evidence or reasons why you aren’t guilty
