(b) Remedies. In a suit described in subsection (a) for a violation
described in that subsection, remedies (including remedies both at law
and in equity) are available for the violation to the same extent as
such remedies are available for such a violation in a suit against any
public or private entity other than a State, instrumentality of a State,
or officer or employee of a State acting in his or her official
capacity. Such remedies include impounding and disposition of infringing
articles under section 503, actual damages and profits and statutory
damages under section 504, costs and attorney's fees under section 505,
and the remedies provided in section 510.
Section 512. Limitations on liability relating to material online [9]
(a) Transitory Digital Network Communications. A service provider shall
not be liable for monetary relief, or, except as provided in subsection
(j), for injunctive or other equitable relief, for infringement of
copyright by reason of the provider's transmitting, routing, or
providing connections for, material through a system or network
controlled or operated by or for the service provider, or by reason of
the intermediate and transient storage of that material in the course of
such transmitting, routing, or providing connections, if-
(1) the transmission of the material was initiated by or at the
direction of a person other than the service provider;
(2) the transmission, routing, provision of connections, or storage is
carried out through an automatic technical process without selection of
the material by the service provider;
(3) the service provider does not select the recipients of the material
except as an automatic response to the request of another person;
(4) no copy of the material made by the service provider in the course
of such intermediate or transient storage is maintained on the system or
network in a manner ordinarily accessible to anyone other than
anticipated recipients, and no such copy is maintained on the system or
network in a manner ordinarily accessible to such anticipated recipients
for a longer period than is reasonably necessary for the transmission,
routing, or provision of connections; and
(5) the material is transmitted through the system or network without
modification of its content.
