MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER


Plaintiff has claimed that defendant showed unauthorized closed-circuit telecasts of boxing matches on three separate occasions — claims backed up by the affidavits of investigators. Defendant has not contested these claims. Plaintiff would have received $1,790 in license fees if defendant had taken licenses. We think five times those fees is an appropriate gauge for statutory damages. Defendant is not just a one-time offender, but the establishment appears to be relatively small. The number of patrons on the three occasions was seven, thirty, and six. We award statutory damages of $8,950, together with fees and costs of $1,092.
