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)
