Judge Lacombe Rules Moving Pictures Infringe Copyright
United States Circuit Court Judge Lacombe holds that moving picture shows reproduce scenes from copyrighted plays and books and thus violate copyright law. The injunction against Kalem Company follows Daly vs Webster precedent, affecting films like Ben Hur and other titles. Lawyers for plaintiffs pressed that representing on screen equals performing a dramatic work. The ruling could transform royalties and distribution in the early film industry.
