Sorry for the late reply, was at work with no internet connection.

Thank you for the guidance and yes in fact I contacted 2 lawyers concerning the calculation of damages in cases of digital piracy and they were themselves unaware of this matter.Probably I should find a lawyer who is well-versed in IT laws.
Thank you again Mr Moonesamy.
Kind regards,Zohra.
