(“Hallmark”), for copyright infringement in building houses based on KFA’s architectural plans without purchasing the plans for each house as required. A jury found Hallmark liable and awarded substantial damages. Hallmark appeals, contending that the evidence was insufficient to support a jury finding of “substantial similarity” and that the damages are inappropriate as a matter of law because KFA did not meet its burden of proof. We have reviewed the briefs, the applicable law, and the pertinent por- tions of the record and have heard the arguments of counsel. The case was well tried by the magistrate judge sitting by consent. There is no error, and the judgment is AFFIRMED. 2
