PREFACE So rapid has been the growth of the motion picture industry that within a quarter of a century after its birth, it has taken its place among the five foremost business enterprises of this country. Litigation between the different parties associated with the business has been frequent and has resulted in a large body of case law on the questions peculiar to the industry. Notwithstanding the growth of this branch of the amusement life of the nation and of the importance of the law peculiar to it, no attempt has been made, so far as we know, to collect the decisions and to point out the general principles of law which have been developed by the courts with reference thereto. To give such a statement of the motion picture law has been our object. We have collected every available decision of the State and Federal Courts, as well as of the Courts of England and Canada relating to motion pictures. We have also collected all the more important decisions with reference to the theatre and literary property in general, as many of the principles established in those branches of the law apply to motion pictures. v
