    Copyright is federal bub. They get sued in federal court. Or the FBI shows up and takes all their servers.

      Yes, it is federal. Congress can’t abrogate a state’s sovereign immunity to make them liable under copyright law. In fact, they tried and it was deemed unconstitutional (Allen v. Cooper). States can’t be sued in federal court without their permission (Amendment XI).
