National Rifle Association of America v. Handgun Control Federation of Ohio

The National Rifle Association of America ("NRA") appeals from the summary judgment that the district court granted for the Handgun Control Federation of Ohio ("HCF") in this copyright infringement action. The district court ruled that the NRA could not copyright the three-page list of Ohio legislators at issue here. We affirm, holding that HCF has made "fair use" of the list under the copyright statutes and therefore cannot be held liable.
