MEMORANDUM **

The record adequately supports the Magistrate Judge’s finding that defendant-appellant, KMAP, Inc., committed nine acts of willful copyright infringement between December 20 and December 22, 1997, in violation of the version of 17 U.S.C. § 501 then in effect.

Section 504(c)(1) entitles the copyright owners to statutory damages in the amount of $500 to $20,000 per violation. Where, as here, the violation is found to be willful, Section 504(c)(2) permits a discretionary increase of the statutory damages award to a sum of not more than $100,000 per violation. The Magistrate Judge did not abuse his discretion under the statute *716in assessing damages of $18,500 per violation upon a finding of willfulness.

AFFIRMED.
