Publication Date: 2009-07-27 Practice Area: Industry: Court: Judge: Attorneys: For plaintiff: For defendant: Case number:

Rejecting arguments that Congress exceeded its authority under the Copyright Clause, the 2nd Circuit said the anti-bootlegging law "differs significantly" from the Copyright Act and was therefore "not enacted under the Copyright Clause."
