  "text": "A. A person who is engaged in the business of providing Internet access service to the public, owns a web page, or owns a trademark that is adversely affected by a violation of R.S. 51:2033 may bring an action against a person who violates or is in violation of R.S. 51:2033. A person who brings an action under this Subsection may seek to recover the greater of actual damages or five hundred thousand dollars.\n\nB. An individual who is adversely affected by a violation of R.S. 51:2033 may bring an action, but only against a person who has directly violated R.S. 51:2033. A person who brings an action under this Subsection may seek to enjoin further violations of R.S. 51:2033 and seek to recover the greater of three times the amount of actual damages or five thousand dollars per violation.\n\nC. The attorney general or a district attorney in a parish where a violation occurs may bring an action against a person who violates or is in violation of R.S. 51:2033 to enjoin further violations of R.S. 51:2033 and to recover a civil penalty of up to two thousand five hundred dollars per violation.\n\nD.

The remedies provided for in this Section do not preclude the seeking of any other remedies, including criminal remedies, provided by law.\n\nF. For purposes of Subsection A of this Section, multiple violations of R.S. 51:2033 resulting from any single action or conduct shall constitute one violation.",
