"For purposes of this subsection, evidence of reproduction or
distribution of a copyrighted work, by itself, shall not be sufficient
to establish willful infringement."
I take it you have independent evidence of _both_ the willfulness of
Roy's alleged infringement, _and_ that Roy obtained commercial
advantage or private financial gain from the alleged infringement or
that the cartoon in question has a retail value of more than $1000.
Otherwise, of course, the alleged conduct wouldn't be "criminal" at
all. And in that case, of course, you wouldn't want to engage in the
"criminal conduct" of libel, now would you?
