A few years ago, I was selling a solution manual on ebay and then it was taken of of ebay and I got a letter from the publisher of the book whos solution manual I was selling. He said this was copyright infringement and so they could take me to court over this. They are in USA and I am in Canada.
The letter started by telling me about the copyright laws. Then it said that we can settle this matter without the inconvenience of a lawsuit.
Here is what he said:

And the settlement:

this is a civil matter. But you should be able to sell a book on ebay without being charged for copyright laws. Was did a book that you bought at the store, no longer needed, and then tried to sell it? This is 100% legal. This "publisher" seems like it could possibly be a scam. Did you respond to this? did you pay the "settlement"?

There are two issues when it comes to law...civil and criminal.
Your issue is of a civil and not criminal issue and as such it does not involve a "criminal" history.
You will have no problems with getting a job!
Best wishes.

That's a civil thing anyway. There is no criminal record associated with something like that.

Don`t worry. This is considered a civil matter and the police would have no knowledge of it.
