" During this year, the NET Act was passed, which allowed for federal prosecutors to file criminal lawsuits against suspected infringers, without requiring evidence of commercial benefit or financial gain.

The United States No Electronic Theft Act ( NET Act ), a federal law passed in 1997, provides for criminal prosecution of individuals who engage in copyright infringement under certain circumstances, even when there is no monetary profit or commercial benefit from the infringement.

The NET Act also raised statutory damages by 50 %.

Prior to the enactment of the NET Act in 1997, criminal copyright infringement required that the infringement was for the purpose of " commercial advantage or private financial gain.

The court suggested that Congress could act to make some non-commercial infringements a crime, and Congress acted on that suggestion in the NET Act.

The NET Act amended the definition of " commercial advantage or private financial gain " to include the " receipt, or expectation of receipt, of anything of value, including the receipt of other copyrighted works " ( 17 USC 101 ), and specifies penalties of up to five years in prison and up to $ 250, 000 in fines.
