categories of material from the deposit requirements of this section,
or require deposit of only one copy or phonorecord with respect to any
categories. Such regulations shall provide either for complete
exemption from the deposit requirements of this section, or for
alternative forms of deposit aimed at providing a satisfactory
archival record of a work without imposing practical or financial
hardships on the depositor, where the individual author is the owner
of copyright in a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work and (i) less than
five copies of the work have been published, or (ii) the work has been
published in a limited edition consisting of numbered copies the
monetary value of which would make the mandatory deposit of two
copies of the best edition of the work burdensome, unfair, or unreasonable.

(d) At any time after publication of a work as provided by subsection
(a), the Register of Copyrights may make written demand for the
required deposit of any of the persons obligated to make the deposit
under subsection (a). Unless deposit is made within three months after
the demand is received, the person or persons on whom the demand was
made are liable-

(1) to a fine of not more than $250 for each work; and

(2) to pay into a specially designated fund in the Library of
Congress the total retail price of the copies or phonorecords
demanded, or, if no retail price has been fixed, the reasonable cost of
the Library of Congress of acquiring them; and

(3) to pay a fine of $2,500, in addition to any fine or liability
imposed under clauses (1) and (2), if such person willfully or
repeatedly fails or refuses to comply with such a demand.
