With respect to the three year statute of limitations on copyright claims, it is my understanding that a claim "accrues" not when the infringement begins or ends, but instead when the infringed party first learns, or reasonably should have learned, of the facts giving rise to the claim. I believe that the three year clock begins ticking at that point. Is this correct?

§ 507(b) Civil Actions. — No civil action shall be maintained under the provisions of this title unless it is commenced within three years after the claim accrued.

Thanks in advance.
