District of Columbia Court of Appeals August 5, 2004, 01-CM-1499 (Jackson v. United States)

STEADMAN, Associate Judge:

Appellant and his co-defendant were selling music compact discs (“CDs”) from a table they had set up on the sidewalk near Union Station. The CDs were “counterfeit”; that is, they were manufactured without the authorization of the copyright owner. Appellant was convicted at a bench trial of attempted deceptive labeling of a sound recording, in violation of D.C.
