“Which court decisions represent ‘the law‘ for a particular contract-license or use under the copyright law depends on which court or courts have jurisdiction. The short version is that rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court apply to all citizens across all jurisdictions. The Supreme Court rules on both contract-license issues as well as copyright issues. Likewise, decisions of state supreme courts govern the parties within that state.”
