Apr 17, 2014 at 14:18 comment added Johannes Trost The proof is more complicated, making use of a generalization of the Phragmén–Lindelöf principle (or theorem as it is also called). (links are en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… or encyclopediaofmath.org/index.php/…) Unfortunately, the above cited book of Rademacher with the proof of the inequality is hard to get. If I find some time, I will post a sketch of the proof here.

But why sinus is power-bounded?
Apr 14, 2014 at 10:59 comment added Johannes Trost In Eq. (5.1) of arxiv.org/pdf/1301.1749.pdf the $c$ has to be replaced by $2(\sigma-1)$ (note that this matches the condition $0\leq c\leq 1$), then replace $s\rightarrow s-2(\sigma-1)$ and note that $s=\sigma + i t$ and (most importantly) that $|\Gamma(\sigma - i t)| = |\Gamma(\sigma + i t)|$.
