      (a) Any court having jurisdiction of a civil action arising under
    this title may, subject to the provisions of section 1498 of title
    28, grant temporary and final injunctions on such terms as it may
    deem reasonable to prevent or restrain infringement of a copyright.
      (b) Any such injunction may be served anywhere in the United

    clerk's office.
