In the first trial, held in June 2018 by Harris County Judge Caroline E.Baker, Jim won the case. However, this week, the Texas first district appeals court won in favor of the university.

The case had such an impact in the country that the National Association of Press Photographers, the National Association of Press Photographers, issued a note expressing the following statement:
“Texas’ decision affects more than photographers.Looks like a state entity can invest in piracy without being charged.
