1Opinion of the Court
MAGILL, Circuit Judge.
Metro Program Network, Inc., and Gerald Fitzgerald, president of Metro, appeal from the district court’s 1 order finding them liable for copyright infringement and for the pendant breach of contract state law claim. Appellants claim that the award for breach of contract damages was excessive, and make the somewhat novel argument that the award of both breach of contract and copyright infringement damages constituted an impermissible award of double damages under 17 U.S.C. § 504. 2 We affirm.
