RUSH has filed a lawsuit to get a judge's order that it can use to direct federal marshals, and authorize local and state police and agents hired by the company to seize bootleg T-shirts and similar items during the band's U.S. tour.

The lawsuit, filed by Ontario, Canada-based Showtech Merchandising Inc: "gotten probably 250 or 300 of these types of orders" on behalf of entertainment acts. "These days bands make more money from merchandise than from concert tickets,"
