It's likely to depend on what your friend did. I'd suggest that he or she read the following & contact a copyright attorney:

There is a fine (rather large), and then your friend would have to pay them all of the profits made from using the copywritten material.
In a nut shell, it can get rather costly. . . Best not to steal others' stuff.

up to $25,000 - $250,000 depending on what and how the copyright was enfringed.
