wouldn’t the copy have been made, then photographed and either electronically transmitted or mailed? even if it was scanned, or generated in photoshop or some other image editing/graphics software, it was still made in one of those forms and transmitted somehow.

That to me seems to fit the bill, but I’m not a lawyer - I just have read an awful lot of legal garbage, so my brain may be stew as it is...

First, I believe that there is a difference between a photograph of a document and a document or copy of the document. Second, even assuming that it was, I read the statute to require tha the document be “in or affect[ing] interstate or foreign commerce.” So, if it turns out that Orly purchased the document, and the person mailed, faxed, or emailed it to her, then it’s in interstate commerce. However, if it showed up slipped under her door in the morning, or if it was simply emailed to her w/o any payment or other “commercial act,” then I don’t think that the action falls under the statute.
