(2) Pattern of violations. If a satellite carrier engages in a willful
or repeated pattern or practice of secondarily transmitting to the
public a primary transmission embodying a performance or display of a
work made by a television broadcast station to subscribers who do not
reside in that station's local market, and are not subject to statutory
licensing under section 119 or a private licensing agreement, then in
addition to the remedies under paragraph (1)-
(A) if the pattern or practice has been carried out on a substantially
nationwide basis, the court-
(i) shall order a permanent injunction barring the secondary
transmission by the satellite carrier of the primary transmissions of
that television broadcast station (and if such television broadcast
station is a network station, all other television broadcast stations
affiliated with such network); and
(ii) may order statutory damages not exceeding $250,000 for each 6-month
period during which the pattern or practice was carried out; and
(B) if the pattern or practice has been carried out on a local or
regional basis with respect to more than one television broadcast
station, the court-
(i) shall order a permanent injunction barring the secondary
transmission in that locality or region by the satellite carrier of the
primary transmissions of any television broadcast station; and
(ii) may order statutory damages not exceeding $250,000 for each 6-month
period during which the pattern or practice was carried out.
