Yes, basically, it's three years: The Copyright Act provides that �No civil action shall be maintained under the provisions of this title unless it is commenced within three years after the claim accrued.� See 17 U.S.C. � 507(b). The trick may be determining when a claim first "accrues" so as to start the running of the limitations period.
