Consequences of copyright infringement

Consequences of copyright infringement

The C. A. and other statutes provide for a large variety of possible means of enforcing the authors' rights. If the law is not complied with, i.e. an infringement of rights has occurred (whether in regard to the moral rights or to the economic rights of the author), the rightholder can enforce civil law consequences [C.A. Art. 94], criminal law consequences [Criminal Code, Articles 329/A-C], or can initiate the implementation of customs measures [C.A. Art. 97].
