| To give integrity to the private copying regime, the Copyright
Act creates penalties for evasion. Manufacturers and
importers who fail to meet their legal obligations under Part
VIII can be called to account. Those who fail to pay can be
taken to court and ordered to do so - and where a court deems
it fit, that amount can be increased by as much as a factor
of five. Failure to abide by any such order would then constitute
contempt of court. And this is in addition to any other remedies
available at law. For instance, an evader could be required
to assume responsibility for the collecting body's legal costs.
Authority for exercising these remedies rests with the body
also responsible for collection and distribution -- CPCC. CPCC's
enforcement program is described in detail on another part
of this site. |
