"So while it is true that the attempted use of a copyright to violate
antitrust law probably would give rise to a misuse of copyright defense,
the converse is not necessarily true – a misuse need not be a violation
of antitrust law in order to comprise an equitable defense to an
infringement action. The question is not whether the copyright is being
used in a manner violative of antitrust law (such as whether the
licensing agreement is “reasonable”), but whether the copyright is being
used in a manner violative of the public policy embodied in the grant of
a copyright.  "
