The Supreme Court on Tuesday said U.S. copyright holders cannot block the
resale inside the country of products they make elsewhere, a major case
affecting the annual importation of tens of billions of dollars of gray
market goods.****

By a 6-3 vote, the country's highest court said the "first sale doctrine"
applies to copies of a copyrighted work lawfully made abroad.****
