: A Government employee created a website on his own time. Within the website he infringed six copyrighted works. The person is no longer a Government employee but the website continues to infringe. Anyone know if the Government liable for the actions of this person and the damages he has caused?

Dear David,
From what you say, it is hard to conceive a governmental liability.
