Patry ponders the consequences of free wine

William Patry has a new blog on copyright, which has covered a range of interesting issue. He's got an interesting link to the case Kathleen Sullivan recently won in the Supreme Court, Granholm v. Heald, finding that state limits on the sale of out of state wine violated the dormant commerce clause, the 21st Amendment notwithstanding. Patry suggests a link to database legislation, which seems to me a bit of a stretch (I think his view of database legislation is correct, but not sure it follows from Granholm.) He's also got a very interesting review of the anti-bootlegging statute, informed by his experience on the Hill when these were passed.

Woah, Granholm! That case involved my state and I didn't even realize it until now. Now if we could just get MCL 750.102 overturned.
