In 2006,Restani sat by designation on a United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit panel hearing Bill Graham Archives v. Dorling Kindersley,Ltd. ,in which the plaintiff appealed a holding that the defendant's unlicensed use of several images of Grateful Dead concert posters in its coffee-table history of the band was fair use and not copyright infringement. Restani wrote the unanimous opinion affirming the district court,holding that since the images had been used transformatively,the archives could not assert market harm,and that the publisher's negotiations for a licensing fee did not foreclose them from later asserting fair use.
