Michigan State University is facing a lawsuit over a controversial Adolf Hitler question that appeared on Spartan Stadium screens before a game last season. The quiz's creator, owner of Carsilius Media, BV, and operator of The Quiz Channel on YouTube, alleges that the university did not have permission to use the quiz, which was not intended for mass-market use at an American college football game.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court, seeks $150,000 in damages plus legal fees for copyright infringement. The question in question appeared on October 21 during pregame of Michigan State's matchup with Michigan. It asked where Hitler was born, with Austria being the correct answer.
