Props to Neil Gaiman for blogging this bit from the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF):

CBLDF are reporting that US Customs has seized comics called Stripburger from Top Shelf Productions based on an assertion that they contain "clearly piratical copies" of registered and recorded copyrights.

The material in question involves a parody "Richie Bush," that satirizes President Bush as Richie Rich, and "Richie Bush," which contains visual homages to Peanuts comic characters Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and Woodstock.

CBLDF are arguing that the material is short segments protected under the copyright exceptions for parody and that seizure of the material without a court judgement is unlawful prior restraint. Customs has yet to respond.
