1Opinion of the Court
TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge:
The jury in this case found the defendants liable for infringing the plaintiffs copyright in a computer program and for violating section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a). The district court entered judgment against the defendants, awarding both actual damages and attorneys’ fees to the plaintiff. On appeal, the defendants challenge numerous rulings of the district court. We affirm. In so doing, we endeavor to bring a small measure of clarity to certain “rather swampy” 1 areas of copyright and unfair competition law.
