658 THE LAW OF MOTION PICTURES extends, or published in such Dominions within fourteen days after publication in the United States. The Order, however, provides that it shall not extend to the self-governing dominions. Until each self-governing dominion approves of the provisions of the Order, it does not extend to such dominions. Section 189. — Copyright in Newfoundland. Newfoundland adopted the British Copyright Act of 1911 in full by an enactment of its Legislature in 1912, except those clauses which are expressly restricted to the United Kingdom. She has in addition become a party to the revised Berne convention of Berlin of 1908. Since Newfoundland has become a part of the British Dominions to which the Act of 1911 extends, first or simultaneous publication of an American film in Newfoundland secures copyright under the 1911 Act throughout the British dominions to which the Act extends; and in like manner first or simultaneous publication in any part of the British dominions to which the Act extends secures copyright thereunder enforceable in Newfoundland. Section 190. — Copyright in Commonwealth of Australia. In 1912, Australia passed a Copyright Act which declared the Act of 1911 to be in force in its territory subject, however, to certain modifications. The modifications have reference chiefly to summary remedies granted under the Australian Act which are broader than those granted under the 1911 Act.
