The United Kingdom copyright law information:

In UK, copyright infringement is crime. Copyright is your private right, therefore you will need to make decisions about how to enforce that right,

Deliberate infringement of copyright on a commercial scale may be a criminal offence. This activity is usually known as copyright piracy and is often linked to willful infringement of trade marks known as counterfeiting where criminal offences also exist. Piracy and counterfeiting are often also referred to as intellectual property or IP crime.

So, if the infringement of your copyright work is intentional, is on a large scale and copies of your work are being made for sale, being imported, distributed, sold or put on the internet, then it may be worth informing the Police or your local Trading Standards Department. They can decide whether action by them, including possible prosecution, is justified.

Copyright infringement can result in 6 months jail time and up to GBP £20,000 fine.

If you think your copyright is violated in the United Kingdom, find a copyright attorney in The United Kingdom.
