There is no way this is legal: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Texas-court-says-photographer-has-no-recourse-13973674.php … U.Houston is claiming they have sovereign immunity and can’t be sued for copyright infringement. But..that only applies to the Texas Government, not a university. Universities can’t pass or enforce laws, so not sovereign.

I guess I didn’t realize at you can’t sue a state? Is that a thing?

Depends on the state and for what, but usual “the state” means the *actual* governing organization, not some random ass state university with zero power. If that’s true then any state run utilities couldn’t be sued for negligence that causes death, and lots of weird situations.

Did you get your apostile of citizenship yet? I went that sovereign route and ended up 6 figures upside down to Uncle Sam on the wrong end of the criminal enforcement stick. Guess I just didn't go big enough.

I could just become a student of University of Houston and I’ll be sovereign too so I could pardon you.
