OK. That kind of copying isn't usually the kind that authors of open source code worry about, but it's certainly a valid example of statutory damages being real.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say by there being no such thing as actual damage from making a copy, but suffice it to say that people regularly win sums in court much larger than statutory damages to compensate them for the damage done to them by other people making copies.
