Also, injunctive relief can be obtained. Likely, the lawsuit is simply to enable a court ordered subpoena to the website to identify the student. Then deal with the cheating in house at the school. But if he pushes it, he may be able to obtain the statutory damages without proving actual damages. I suppose on the actual damage front, he could value it on the time he took to create the questions in the first place and then argue that they have no been rendered unusable for the future. My guess is that the suit goes away after the cheating student is identified.
