Copyright infringement is only a crime when it is done on a commercial scale. If it isn't it can be brought to the courts as civil suit.
Large scale copyright infringement is covered by a the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. TRIPS. Which was signed by most of the WTO countries. This agreement forces countries to make large scape copyright infringement criminal.
In this case it is neither large scale, nor commercial.
