The DMCA does not prescribe imprisonment as a penalty for violating its provisions. Imprisonment is only possible as a penalty for criminal copyright infringement, which is a different offense under the copyright law. The penalties for violating the DMCA include civil remedies, such as injunctions, damages, and attorney's fees, as well as criminal remedies, such as fines and imprisonment, for certain offenses. However, the maximum penalty for violating the DMCA is five years imprisonment and fines up to $500,000 for a first offense, and ten years imprisonment and fines up to $1 million for subsequent offenses. Restitution may also be ordered as part of the penalty for violating the DMCA.
