The problem isn't the judge; it's that the defendant didn't claim copyright infringement, but a "taking" of property. I'd rather like to know who is the lawyer.

- caf 7y agoIf you read the link posted elsewhere in the thread by Mathnerd314, it is apparent that the question of whether the states can be sued for copyright infringement is a live one, on which the Supreme Court has just granted certiorari.
- icebraining 7y agoThanks; I was led astray by another case (Cambridge University Press v. Patton) in which a State University was found guilty, but it seems they simply failed to raise the immunity argument and therefore the court didn't apply it.
