Feb 26, 2008 18:47 | #10 At the hearing that followed, Morgan Smith asked the judge to dismiss my claim because it involved copyright, which is under the jurisdiction of federal courts. The judge agreed. This brilliant tactic resulted in me being awarded $20,000 in federal court, instead of the $5,000 I asked for in small claims court. Classic. Website: Iowa Landscape Photography
