"Here's how limitations works in copyright cases. A complaint is filed in
2005. Under what circumstances may plaintiff collect damages for acts of
infringement that began in 2000 and continued into 2005? (If the
infringement began in 2000 but stopped in 2001, a suit brought in 2005 is
untimely and no recovery is possible). All circuits permit recovery reaching
back to 2002."

"The statute of limitations for copyright infringement is three years for
both civil and criminal lawsuits. This means that if somebody infringes your
copyright, you must bring a lawsuit within three years of the infringing
act. If your bring a suit more than three years after the infringement
began, you may only be permitted to recover three years worth of damages."
