Oh my bad. The wording is per infringement, which does seem to mean per work rather than per copy. That makes it perfect for going after individuals but not corporations - because it's peanuts to them.
It might be peanuts if it was a one-time thing, but if they kept infringing I would expect they could be sued again for the additional infringements.
Statutory damages in the US start out in the $750-30000 range, and can be raised up to $150000 in the case of willful infringement. The burden of proving willfulness is on the plaintiff, but that shouldn't be too hard if the defendant already lost once and is continuing to infringe.
I'd expect courts to start going higher and higher up the range for damages the more times they see the same defendant losing for continued infringement of the same work.
I'd expect that this would get the defendants to start complying with the license and release the source.
Companies should be more worried about injections than infringement. Sure they might pay court fines, but courts can also order them to stop infringing immediately. Continuing to infringe after a court order is a very different issue, and isn't about copyright law it anymore.
