United States Sixth Circuit

A conviction for "fraudulently or knowingly import[ing]... merchandise contrary to law" is affirmed over claims that: 1) the indictment did not give proper notice of the elements of the charged offense; 2) the section under which he was charged, 18 U.S.C. section 545, cannot be used to charge importation contrary to the copyright laws; and 3) the evidence before the district court was insufficient to prove a violation of section 545.
