IANAL - Rule 11 - against frivolous lawsuits, ignorance is no defence. Further, UCLA counsel had already replied to them in reponse to a DMCA takedown notice prior to the main complaint explaining the facts, well before they filed their complaint.... so they can't claim ignorance either. It's done with, good - as it should be. No need for a witch hunt - but the lawyers who were pushing the issue forward probably should be sanctioned, this was very obviously frivolous and going nowhere.... and they had a professional duty to know that. There's no muddy water here... it's very clear cut.
