Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Law of the Motion Picture Industry a Lecture
Our justification for discussing the law of the motion pic ture industry is that there has come into the civilized world in the past ten years a medium of expression as revolutionary and important in its way as the printing-press, the telegraph and the ?ying machine; and, ' whereas these three inventions' went through years of development and improvement, the motion picture seems to have sprung, Minerva-like, full born on the public, with the consequence that there is much confusion as to the rights of the public and those engaged in the industry; and a general hurry and bustle among cer tain active and honest souls to put some laws on the statute books without due consideration as to the real necessity for those laws.
