SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 25 – Pablo Star Ltd. owns the American copyrights to photographic works featuring poet Dylan Thomas. It sued the Welsh Government.
On February 25 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge J. Paul Oetken held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
Pablo Star says the devolved government of Wales operates Visit Wales which used the photos. The question of sovereign immunity has arisen - but Wales is not a country, as such.
Judge Oetken said he'd found that question interesting.
But the continuation of this dispute, which began in 2015, less so.
It has now been referred to Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn for settlement.
The case is Pablo Star Ltd. v. The Welsh Government et al., 15-cv-1167 (Oetken)
