Most copyright cases are handled in civil court (or even resolved before they reach court at all), but extreme, systemic infringement can be brought to higher courts and even receive criminal penalties such as jail time.
State courts hear any and all cases having to do with the laws of their particular state which were passed by their state legislature. They do not hear cases involving the laws of other states nor do they hear Federal cases.
The Uneasy Case for Copyright was created in 1970.
For criminal copyright violations prosecutions are controlled by the respective district US Attorney General.In civil cases prosecution is conducted by the attorney employed by the Plaintiff in the case.
Laws for traffic violations are specific to a state or municipality. A general rule of thumb is that moving violations, from speeding to driving without a license is the driver's responsibility; vehicle violations, such as invalid registration, liability in an accident, illegal parking and towing fees, are the responsibility of the vehicle owner. In the case of an accident, the driver is responsible for the traffic violations, the vehicle owner is responsible for the damages. In most jurisdictions, the vehicle owner can sue the driver in a civil action for costs incurred to the owner by the driver of the vehicle. Be careful who you allow to drive your car.
It varies. For an isolated case, an individual might be held responsible, but if infringement is endemic (or even a matter of policy!) in the organization, it benefits the rightsholder to aim higher up.
