In this American decision, it was found that a section of the Copyright Remedy Clarification Act was an invalid exercise of power under the Constitution. This section states that "[a]ny State, instrumentality of a state... or employee of a State or instrumentality of a State... shall not be immune, under the Eleventh Amendment" to a suit for copyright infringement. 17 U.S.C. section 511(a).
A win I suppose for those who believe that copyright is draconian and should be replaced with a share and share alike mantra?
Here is an article which outlines the legal effect of such a decision, and here is the link to the Slashdot article.
