Steinbeck v. McIntosh & Otis, Inc., No. 10-1119 (cert. petition filed March 11, 2011)

Question Presented: Can the termination rights that Congress granted to authors and statutorily defined members of their families be extinguished by a copyright holder’s agreement even though that holder could not exercise the termination rights, as the Second Circuit held, or does such an agreement constitute an “agreement to the contrary” under the Copyright Act, as the Ninth Circuit has held?
