Article 54 When a copyright or copyright-related rights are infringed, the infringer shall make compensation based on the actual losses suffered by the rights holder or the illegal proceeds obtained by the infringer; where it is difficult to compute the actual losses of the rights holder or the illegal proceeds obtained by the infringer, compensation may be made with reference to the royalties for such rights. In the case of any intentional infringement of a copyright or copyright-related rights, if the case is serious, compensation may be paid ranging from one to five times the amount determined according to the aforesaid method.

The amount of compensation shall also include the reasonable expenses incurred by the right holder in halting the infringement. In determining the amount of compensation, where the rights holder has performed the requisite burden of proof, but the accounts books and materials relating to the infringement are kept by the infringer, the people's court may order the infringer to provide accounts books and materials relating to the infringement; where the infringer fails to provide accounts books and materials or where the accounts books and materials provided by the infringer are false ones, the people's court may determine the amount of compensation with reference to the assertion of the rights holder and the evidence provided. In the trial of a copyright dispute case, the people's court shall, at the request of the rights holder, order that the infringing copies be destroyed, except under special circumstances; or order that the materials, tools and equipment used mainly for manufacturing the infringing copies be destroyed without compensation; or under special circumstances, order that the aforesaid materials, tools and equipment be prohibited from entering into commercial channels without compensation.
