Practice question
An infringement defendant removes electronic rights-management information without authority, with reasonable grounds to know the removal will facilitate infringement. All statutory predicates for the Section216.1(b) enhancement are established. The defendant says removal is irrelevant because the work remains readable. Which answer is correct?
- The amended provision requires doubling the damages award on the stated predicates
- Readability categorically defeats the enhancement
- Electronic rights-management information is never addressed by the Code
- The plaintiff must prove the removed notice was physically printed on paper
- The enhancement applies only if every reader complains
