We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
COPYRIGHT IN UNITED KINGDOM AND PROTECTORATES 655
An American citizen may secure copyright in a motion picture produced in this country by publishing the same simultaneously (that is, within fourteen days) in this country and in any part of the British dominions to which the 1911 Act extends.
At the time of the going into effect of the 1911 Act, the Act extended to all of the British dominions with the exception of the self-governing dominions, to wit: Dominion of Canada, Commonwealth of Australia, Dominion of New Zealand, Union of South Africa, and Newfoundland.
Since then, Newfoundland has adopted the Act in its entirety without any qualifications.
Australia and the Union of South Africa have adopted the Act with certain modifications and additions.
New Zealand has passed a Copyright Act which is based upon the 1911 Act, and which grants to British subjects rights substantially identical with those given under the 1911 Act.
Canada, however, has not as yet seen fit to take any action with respect to such Act, and the provisions of the Act do not extend to that dominion.
Under an Order in Council, which was expressly authorized by the Act, Cyprus and the British protectorates were included within its provisions; the protectorates specified in that Order in Council are Cyprus, Bechuanaland Protectorate, East Africa Protectorate, Northern Nigeria Protectorate, Northern Territories of the Gold Coast, Nyassaland Protectorate, Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia, Siera Leone Protectorate, Somaliland Protectorate, Southern Nigeria Protectorate, Solomon
