Hi Marc,

Infringement must be shown first.  Once infringement is established, the 
copyright owner would then either seek an award based upon actual 
damages which they would have to also prove existed, or in the case of a 
registered copyright the owner could simply ask the court for an award 
based upon the limits created by statute.  Which path the copyright 
owner took would depend entirely upon the specifics of the case.
