Before HUFSTEDLER and GOODWIN, Circuit Judges, and LUCAS, District Judge.

LUCAS, District Judge:

The State of Arizona and the Arizona Coliseum and Exposition Center Board ("Coliseum Board") appeal from a joint judgment awarding the plaintiff, Mills Music, Inc. ("Mills"), $75,000 in damages for willful copyright infringement and $25,000 in attorney's fees.
