Copyright law section 602

So long as copies of a work are made with the authorization of the copyright holder, they are, in the Supreme Court[s judgment, lawfully made under this title.

(1) Importation.— Importation into the United States, without the authority of the owner of copyright under this title, of copies or phonorecords of a work that have been acquired outside the United States is an infringement of the exclusive right to distribute copies or phonorecords under section 106, actionable under section 501.

The Copyright Office therefore would support a Congressional effort to clarify select provisions of section 512 in order to restore its original balance. 2.
