There is no difference of nature on internet. Similar remedies are available in case of infringement as in all general cases. Internet is also a platform wherein the accused persons can infringe the copyright and so they can also be prosecuted in the same sections as are available in the Act.

Under certain circumstances, bulletin board operators and webmasters can be subject to both civil and criminal liability for contributory or vicarious copyright infringement when unauthorized copies of software (or the direct means to obtain such software) are found on their sites. If you know that people are using your site to find warez or cracked video games, you may have an obligation to do something about it, particularly if you benefit financially in any way, or are able to control the unlawful copying. You can protect yourself by complying with the DMCA Safe Harbor.

Best remedy is to file a criminal complaint.
