C. - - IN GRATITUDE FOR - MUCH INSTRUCTION AND KINDNESS - - - - -PREFACE - - -The foundations of this work were laid by my endeavours to understand -what is perhaps the most complicated and obscure series of statutes in -the statute book. In working from time to time at the Law of Copyright -I found great want of a text-book which should be exhaustive of the -case law, and at the same time contain a concise and clearly arranged -epitome of the statutory provisions. This want I have tried to supply -for myself in the present compilation, and it is now published in -the hope that it may prove useful to others. The present law is bad -both in substance and form, but it is the more essential that those -who have anything to do with literary or artistic property should -comprehend it in so far as it is comprehensible. There are probably -more pitfalls for the unwary in dealing with Copyright than with any -other branch of the law. - -We have for some time been on the eve of a general codification and -amendment of the Law of Copyright. It is, however, an eve of long and -indefinite duration. It is now twenty-eight years since the Royal -Commission on Copyright was appointed, and still nothing has been done -to ameliorate the lamentable condition in which the Commissioners -then found the law. Dissensions among those who are interested in -Copyright, failure to come to a satisfactory arrangement with the -colonies, and want of time at the disposal of the legislature are -mainly responsible for this delay. In the meantime it is well that -all those who are interested in Copyright should make themselves -conversant with the law as it now is, so that when the time for -legislation does at last come the result may be the more satisfactory. - -I have added to this work Part II., dealing with Copyright in the -United States, and I hope it may prove useful not only to English but -to American lawyers and publishers. - -I have to acknowledge much assistance in the preparation of this work -and many invaluable suggestions from my friends, Mr. Langridge, of the -Middle Temple, and Mr. Mackinnon, of the Inner Temple. - - E.

I feel that I can add nothing useful to this branch of -the subject, and as a detailed account of the evolution of the law of -literary and artistic property is of little value to the practitioner -except as academic knowledge, I propose merely to pass briefly in -review the various epochs through which the author and his publisher -have passed in their struggle to obtain from the public what they -consider to be the just and adequate remuneration for their labours. -For a complete historical introduction to the law of copyright I -cannot do better than refer to Mr. Birrell's delightful lectures.[1] - -[Sidenote: The Royal Prerogative.] - -The first record which we have of any monopoly in the reproduction of -literary work is in the exercise of the alleged prerogative of the -Crown to control the printing-press. No book whatsoever was allowed to -be printed without a licence or grant of monopoly from the Crown. One -of the principal objects in the exercise of this prerogative was the -prevention of the dissemination of religious doctrines contrary to the -accepted faith. - -[Sidenote: The Company of Stationers.] - -[Sidenote: The Star Chamber.] - -Henry VIII. created the Company of Stationers to supervise and -control the publication of books. This company made various rules and -regulations as to the printing of books, and from them licences could -be obtained by an author to print his copy. The Stationers' Company -was first incorporated in the reign of Philip and Mary in 1556. The -Crown enforced its prerogative and the rules of the Stationers' -Company by means of the Court of Star Chamber, which from time to -time passed various decrees, and punished offenders by fine and -imprisonment. - -[Sidenote: The germ of Copyright.] - -[Sidenote: Licences.] - -By this means the Crown until 1640 exercised an unlimited jurisdiction -over the press. In this there was no recognition of a right of -property in the author of a work, but merely an enforcement of the -royal prerogative to control the press. Incidentally, however, a kind -of property sprang up, since the Stationers' Company in granting -licences recognised the right of the author or his assignee to his -copy. Licences were granted to those who showed that they had a right -in the manuscript, and all others were prohibited from infringing the -monopoly. An entry in the records of the Stationers' Company in 1562, -for instance, enacts "That if it be found any other has a right to -any of the copies, then the licence touching such of the copies so -belonging to another shall be void." - -[Sidenote: The Long Parliament.] - -When the Star Chamber was abolished in 1640 the two Houses made an -ordinance prohibiting printing unless the book was first licensed -and entered in the register of the Stationers' Company, and further -prohibiting printing without the consent of the owner. - -[Sidenote: Licensing Statute.] - -At the Restoration a licensing statute[2] was passed similarly -prohibiting printing without licence and without the consent of the -owner. The statute finally expired in 1694. - -On the expiry of the licensing statute, authors and publishers thought -that all protection for literary work was gone, and made strenuous -efforts for new legislation. Bills were brought into Parliament in -1703 and 1706, and finally in 1709 the copyright statute of Anne -became law. - -[Sidenote: 8 Anne, c. 19. The beginning of Statutory Copyright.] - -The Act of Anne created for the first time a statutory property in -books. The author of any book and his assignee or assigns were given -the sole liberty of printing and reprinting such book for the term of -fourteen years from publication "and no longer," and if at the end -of that period the author was still living, then such right returned -to the author for another term of fourteen years. The Act provided -that an offender should forfeit pirated copies and sheets to the -proprietor of the copyright, who was enjoined to "forthwith damask -and make waste paper of them." The Act further imposed a penalty of -one penny for every sheet found in the offender's possession, one -half of the penalties to go to the Crown and the other half to any -person who should sue for the same. The Act made registration in -the Register Book of the Company of Stationers before publication a -condition precedent to an action for the infringement of any book. A -provision was made in this Act for an adjustment of the price of books -by complaint to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor and -others, if booksellers or printers set too high a price upon their -publications. Provision was also made for the delivery of nine copies -at the warehouse of the Stationers' Company for the use of various -libraries. - -[Sidenote: 41 Geo. III., ch. 107.] - -The Act of Anne was amended in some particulars in 1801 by 41 Geo. -III. c. 107. This Act gave the proprietor of the copyright an action -of damages against an offender as well as providing forfeiture and -penalties. - -[Sidenote: 54 Geo. III., ch. 156.] - -The Act of Anne was again amended in 1814 by 54 Geo. III. c. 156. This -latter statute extended the period of copyright to twenty-eight years -certain, and the residue of the author's life thereafter. - -[Sidenote: Copyright at Common Law.] - -[Sidenote: Injunctions in Chancery.] - -After the passing of the statute of Anne those booksellers who were -in the habit of purchasing and publishing authors' manuscripts were -not satisfied with the limited protection accorded to them by that -Act. They discovered, by the aid no doubt of legal advice, that a -further protection might be secured by setting up a common law right -of literary property which would ensure not merely a paltry term of -twenty-eight years, but a perpetual monopoly. The result of this -discovery led to half a century of litigation between the authors' -booksellers and those other smaller booksellers who contended that -they might without licence print those books in which the statutory -copyright had expired. At first the authors' men were successful, and -from 1735 there is a series of cases in Chancery in which a common law -right in published books was undoubtedly recognised and a preliminary -injunction granted, notwithstanding that the period of protection -given by 8 Anne, c. 19, had expired.[3] - -[Sidenote: _Tonson_ v. _Collins_.] - -[Sidenote: A collusive action.] - -These injunctions appear to have been acquiesced in, and the cases -did not proceed to hearing. In 1760, in the case of _Tonson_ v. -_Collins_,[4] the great question of common law right was argued at -law before Lord Mansfield, C. J. The action was in respect of the -_Spectator_, the statutory copyright in which had expired. It was -twice argued before Lord Mansfield, who then ordered that it should -stand over for further argument before all the twelve judges. No -judgment was ever given in the case. Before it could be argued before -the whole Court, information reached the judges that the action was -collusive, brought for the purpose of obtaining a precedent to support -the contention of the authors' men. The Court refused to proceed -further with the cause. - -[Sidenote: _Osborne_ v. _Donaldson_.] - -[Sidenote: _Millar_ v. _Taylor_.] - -[Sidenote: _Donaldson_ v. _Beckett_.] - -It was not long, however, until the question was again raised. In 1765 -Messrs. Osborne & Millar, assignees of the copyright in Thomson's -"Seasons," filed their Bills in Chancery against Donaldson, an -Edinburgh bookseller, who had, without their authority, reprinted -the book after the statutory copyright had expired.[5] A preliminary -injunction was obtained, but subsequently dissolved. Lord Chancellor -Northington said it was a point of so much difficulty and consequence -that he should not determine it at the hearing, but should send it -to law for the opinion of the judges. The question therefore again -came to law, and, in _Millar_ v. _Taylor_,[6] was argued at great -length before Lord Mansfield and Justices Aston, Willis and Yates. -The authors' men were victorious. The Court decided (Yates, J., -dissenting) that there was copyright at common law, and that the -period of protection thereunder was not cut down by the statute of -Anne. This great victory, however, afforded but a short-lived triumph -to literary men. In 1774, in _Donaldson_ v. _Beckett_,[7] the matter -came before the House of Lords on appeal from an order in Chancery, -with the result that the decision in _Millar_ v. _Taylor_[8] was -overruled. In this case all the judges were consulted. Eleven -consulted judges gave their opinion. The questions put to the judges, -and the answers given by them, are as follows: - -[Sidenote: Opinions of the judges.] - -1. Whether at common law an author of any book or literary composition -had the sole right of first printing and publishing the same for sale, -and might bring an action against any person who printed, published, -and sold the same without his consent? - - Eight answered Yes. - One answered No. - Two answered That an action would - only lie if the MS. - were taken by - fraud or violence. - -2. If the author had such right originally did the law take it away -upon his printing or publishing such book or literary composition, and -might any person afterward reprint and sell for his own benefit such -book or literary composition against the will of the author? - - Seven answered No. - Four answered Yes. - -3. If such action would have lain at common law, is it taken away -by the statute of 8th Anne? And is an author by the said statute -precluded from every remedy except on the foundation of the said -statute and on the terms and conditions prescribed thereby? - - Six answered Yes. - Five answered No. - -4. Whether the author of any literary composition and his assigns had -the sole right of printing and publishing the same in perpetuity by -the common law? - - Seven answered Yes. - Four answered No. - -5. Whether this right is in any way impeached or taken away by the -statute of 8th Anne? - - Six answered Yes. - Five answered No. - -[Sidenote: Decision of the House of Lords.] - -[Sidenote: Defeat of the Authors' booksellers.] - -The House of Lords on a division, which included several lay members -of the House, decided by 22 to 11 against the contention that the -common law right survived the statute of Anne and was unrestricted by -it. So the authors and their champions the booksellers were finally -defeated, and had to remain satisfied with the term of protection -afforded to them by statute. - -[Sidenote: Relief for the Universities.] - -The Universities obtained from Parliament statutory relief against the -decision in _Donaldson_ v. _Beckett_. In 1775, the Act of 15 Geo. III. -c. 53 was passed giving them a perpetual copyright in all books which -might be bequeathed to them. This right they still retain. - -[Sidenote: 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45.] - -In 1842 the present literary Copyright Act was passed and the statute -of Anne and the two amending statutes of Geo. III. repealed. The -principal reform is the extension of the term of protection to a -period of forty-two years certain, or for the author's life and seven -years if that should prove longer. Perhaps the other most important -change (it cannot decently be called a reform) is the reduction of -registration at Stationers' Hall to a mere useless and troublesome -technicality. Instead of being as formerly a condition precedent -to protection, and therefore a useful index from which one could -ascertain whether a book was copyright or not, it is now made merely -a condition precedent to action, and registration can be effected the -same day as that on which a writ is issued. - -[Sidenote: Engravings.] - -Meanwhile the engravers as well as the authors had been working for -the proper protection of their art. In 1734 they first obtained a -statute which, together with the amending statutes passed in 1766, -1776, and 1836 respectively, still contains the law of copyright in -engravings, prints, etchings, and similar productions. - -[Sidenote: Sculpture.] - -In 1798 the sculptors obtained an Act. This was repealed by another -Act obtained in 1813. This latter Act still contains the whole law as -to copyright in sculpture. - -[Sidenote: Dramatic Work.] - -[Sidenote: Musical Work.] - -In 1833 authors of dramatic work obtained from Parliament an exclusive -right to perform their plays whether published or unpublished. By the -Literary Copyright Act, 1842, the provisions of that Act are made -applicable to performing rights in dramatic work, and performing -rights are still regulated by both these Acts, which together contain -the law on this subject. The Literary Copyright Act, 1842, also -applied the provisions of both these Acts to performing rights in -musical compositions hitherto unprotected in this respect. As regards -musical composition, the law is amended by two subsequent Acts which -must be read with the two older Acts. - -[Sidenote: Lectures.] - -In 1835 an Act was passed for the protection of copyright in lectures. -This Act, although still in force, has become a dead letter since the -requisite notice to two Justices of the Peace is troublesome, and -lectures receive full protection from copying by common law and under -the Literary Copyright Act, 1842. The Lectures Act never purported to -give anything in the nature of a performing or lecturing right, but -merely a protection from unauthorised reproduction in print. - -[Sidenote: Paintings, Drawings, and Photographs.] - -The artists were the last to obtain protection for their work. It was -not until 1862 that an Act was passed giving statutory protection to -paintings, drawings, and photographs. This Act contains the present -law on the "Fine Arts." - -[Sidenote: International Acts.] - -[Sidenote: The Berne Convention.] - -[Sidenote: The Paris Convention.] - -From 1844 onwards there is a series of Acts known as the International -Copyright Acts which extend the protection of the copyright law to -works published in certain foreign countries. The last and principal -international copyright Act is the International Copyright Act, 1886. -That Act was passed in view of the Berne Convention of 1887 which -was then in contemplation. The Berne Convention is an international -copyright agreement whereby those states which are signatory to it -agree that, subject to its terms, a work first published in any one -of those states shall have copyright in all the others. The Berne -Convention is now amended by the Paris Convention, 1898, and read -together they form the present international agreement. - -[Sidenote: Colonial Acts.] - -There are several statutes dealing with the colonies dating from 1847. - - - - -CHAPTER II - -WHAT BOOKS ARE PROTECTED - - -The following books are protected by statute throughout the -British Dominions:[9] - - 1. Every original book:[10] - 2. First published within the British Dominions:[11] - 3. [The author of which is a British subject or resident within - the British Dominions at the time of first publication:[12]] - 4. Which is innocent:[13] - 5. And has been registered before action:[14] - 6. For 42 years, or the author's life and 7 years, whichever - period is the longer.[15] - - -SECTION I.--WHAT IS AN ORIGINAL BOOK. - -=Definition of a Book.=--"Book" is defined by 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, sec. -2, "to mean and include every volume, part or division of a volume, -pamphlet, sheet of letterpress, sheet of music, map, chart, or plan -separately published." - -As an exhaustive definition this is of little value. It only indicates -what the outward visible form of the "book" must be, and gives no -indication of the nature or quality of the literary matter which it -must contain. Even as a guide to the form it is defective, since it is -only a definition by example and not exhaustively descriptive. In the -absence of an accurate statutory definition of a "book," the Courts -have given a very wide interpretation to the term, and both as to the -form and the matter have strained the ordinary dictionary meaning of -the word to the uttermost. In the light of the decided cases a "book" -might be defined as _original literary matter in such tangible form as -readily conveys ideas or information to the mind of a reader_. - -=Essential Elements of a Book.=--There are three essential elements -which must be found in every book, viz.: - - I. A certain physical form. - II. Literary matter. - III. Originality. - -I. _Physical Form._--The form of the book need not necessarily -constitute what in common parlance is known as a book or volume. -Thus a single sheet of music[16] or a printed leaflet such as an -application form[17] are both books within the meaning of the -Copyright Acts. - -In one case[18] it was held that a newspaper was not a book, but -that decision was not followed,[19] and there can now be no doubt -that a newspaper comes within the definition of a book as a sheet of -letterpress.[20] - -The form must be adapted for conveniently conveying to the mind of a -reader the intellectual matter which the book contains. It will not -be sufficient that it can possibly be used for conveying intellectual -matter to the mind, it must be conveniently adapted for that purpose. -Thus music in the form of a perforated scroll for use in an æolian -or pianola is not a "book,"[21] for although it can be deciphered -and read by the eye no one in his senses would use it instead of -an ordinary sheet of music. On the other hand literary matter may -nevertheless be in "book" form although it requires a special training -to decipher it. For instance a story written in shorthand characters -is in book form,[22] and no doubt also a story impressed in raised -characters for the blind.[23] - -The substance on which the literary matter is depicted and the manner -of depicting it are probably immaterial; but presumably a "book" -must be at least _ejusdem generis_ as an ordinary printed volume or -leaflet. It must be "something in the nature of a book."[24] Thus -although copies in ordinary manuscript[25] or even engraved on thin -slips of ivory would be in "book" form, an epitaph on a tombstone -probably would not. - -The meaning of the words "separately published" in section 2 is by -no means clear. They do not mean that the matter in which copyright -is claimed must be issued physically separate from any non-copyright -literary matter. In the statute of Anne the words "separately -published" are not used in the definition of a book, but it was -nevertheless argued that a "book" must be entirely the original -work of the author and not bound up with other matter. In _Cary_ v. -_Longman_ Lord Kenyon rejected such an argument. In giving judgment he -said: - - "The courts of justice have long been labouring under an error if - an author have no copyright in any part of a work unless he have - an exclusive right to the whole book."[26] - -Under the statute of Victoria parts of a book bound up with -non-copyright matter have frequently been protected; notes to -non-copyright works,[27] illustrations to non-copyright works,[28] a -small portion of a serial story,[29] a small part of a time table,[30] -have all been protected. Clearly therefore a person may have copyright -in a book although he has not copyright in every part of it.[31] - -_In Johnson_ v. _Newnes_[32] Romer, J., takes the view that -"separately" published means clearly distinguishable. He says: - - "Now in my opinion if you find in a volume separate parts, and - distinguished or perfectly distinguishable from the other parts, - and the volume is published, each part that is separate and - clearly distinguished in the volume itself is separately published - within the meaning of section 2." - -If we accept this as correct we exclude the case of a revised edition -of an old work, the corrections and additions to which forming the new -work are not clearly distinguishable from the old. I am inclined to -think that the real explanation and meaning of "separately published" -is that it does not apply to "volume, part, or division of a volume" -at all, but only to "sheet of letterpress, sheet of music, map, chart, -or plan" which are to be protected, even although they are "separately -published," _i. e._ not bound up into a volume. It was no doubt -inserted as declaratory of the case law under the statute of Anne, -which laid down that a single printed sheet was a "book" within the -meaning of the Act. - -II. _Literary Matter._--No literary merit or great labour is required -to be shown. Lord Halsbury, L. C., in _Walter_ v. _Lane_,[33] referring -to the verbatim reports of Lord Rosebery's speeches which were the -subject-matter of that action, said: - - "Although I think in these compositions (_i. e._ the work of the - stenographer) there is literary merit and intellectual labour, yet - the statute seems to me to require neither--nor originality either - in thought or language ... the right in my view is given by the - statute to the first producer of a book, whether that book be wise - or foolish, accurate or inaccurate, of literary merit, or of no - merit whatever."[34] - -In many of the cases great stress was laid in argument at the bar on -the preamble of the Copyright Act, 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45. The preamble -runs as follows: - - "Whereas it is expedient to amend the law relating to copyright, - and to afford greater encouragement to the production of literary - works of lasting benefit to the world...." - -From this it is argued that the Act intends to protect only those -works which are likely to prove a substantial addition to the world's -literature. Jessel, M. R., in his judgment in _Maple_ v. _Junior Army -and Navy Stores_,[35] points out the fallacy of this argument: - - "The Act does not say that it is expedient to afford greater - encouragement to the production of literary works of lasting - benefit to the world, and to amend the law of copyright relating - thereto, but that it is expedient to amend the law of copyright - generally, merely adding the principal reason for doing so. There - is therefore nothing in the preamble to cut down the enacting - part, even if the enacting part had not been clear."[36] - -Road-books,[37] directories,[38] tradesmen's catalogues,[39] -mercantile statistics,[40] telegraph codes,[41] time tables,[42] -verbatim reports of speeches[43] are all books within the meaning of -the Act. - -It is quite immaterial for what purpose the matter was composed or -published. Personal correspondence,[44] advertisements,[45] and a -mining report[46] are all subjects of copyright if published. - -There must be some composition or arrangement of words, figures, -sentences, or paragraphs which by itself will convey to the mind -of the reader some intelligible proposition.[47] There cannot be -copyright in a single word,[48] even although it expresses a man's -opinion: there is no composition or arrangement. Neither can there -be copyright in a pattern sleeve[49] or the face of a barometer,[50] -because both are really instruments to be used in conjunction with -something else, and although there may be words and sentences on them, -by themselves they convey no intelligible proposition to the reader. -Probably a drunken scrawl, absolutely unintelligible, would not be -protected. A jury having found that such a document was not a literary -composition, the Court of Appeal refused to interfere with their -verdict.[51] - -The illustrations in a book are protected as part of the book,[52] and -a number of drawings bound up together without any letterpress would -be protected as a book,[53] compliance with the provisions of the -artistic Copyright Acts being in such a case unnecessary; but a single -drawing or engraving separately issued can only be protected under the -artistic Acts. - -A map, whether bound in a volume or separately issued, is a book -within the meaning of the Literary Copyright Act, and will be -protected thereunder.[54] - -III. _Originality_ as an essential element of a book means that the -composition in the "book" must not have been copied from some other -literary composition in "book" form. Originality does not necessarily -imply an original composition on the part of the author.[55] Copyright -is given not necessarily to the first composer, but to the first -producer in "book" form of a literary composition.[56] Thus a book -would be an original book if the literary matter contained therein -were taken by the author verbatim from the oral utterances of a public -speaker,[57] or probably if copied from some ancient monument or -mural writing. It would not, however, be original if the author had -merely transcribed the literary matter from some public manuscripts, -even although difficult of access.[58] Again, originality does not -necessarily imply novelty. Another book exactly the same in every -respect, word for word, may have been previously published, and yet -a later book will be original if derived from common sources, and -not copied from the earlier book. Thus two mathematicians may have -independently made the same calculations,[59] two travellers may have -made a chart of the same island or district,[60] or two reporters may -have taken shorthand reports of the same speech.[61] In each case -there would be independent copyright,[62] and the later book, even -although published ten years after the first, would be original. - -Composition may consist in composition in the ordinary sense of -piecing together words, figures, sentences, and paragraphs, in order -to convey certain intellectual ideas, or it may consist in the -arrangement of material, as in the case of directories, lists of -statistics, &c. Sometimes part may be copied and part may be original, -as in the case of new editions,[63] translations,[64] abridgments,[65] -selections from non-copyright authors,[66] precedents of -conveyancing, &c.[67] The new matter only is the subject of copyright. - -[Sidenote: Road Books.] - -=Examples of what are Books.=--Road-books[68] were among the first -works in the protection of which by the Courts it was recognised -that copyright did not necessarily depend on the evidence of any -high mental qualities in the composition. In 1786 an injunction was -granted to restrain the piracy of "Paterson's Road-Book."[69] Lord -Chancellor Loughborough in his judgment said that a book in order to -acquire copyright did not require to be an operation of the mind like -the "Essay on Human Understanding." There might be copyright even -although the subject-matter lay _in medio_, so that every man with -eyes could trace it, and the whole merit of the work depended upon the -accuracy of the observation. In 1776 the Court of Session in Scotland -protected a "Traveller's Pocket-Book," which contained nothing but a -mere list of stages and their distances.[70] The compiler of such a -work may arrive at the same, or nearly the same, result as some other -compiler working over the same country, but if each has made his own -compilation, "counting the milestones for himself,"[71] he will have -copyright and can prevent any one else from infringing such copyright. - -[Sidenote: Directories.] - -Directories[72] soon followed road-books in their claim for -protection. Lord Chancellor Erskine in 1806 hesitated somewhat, -"thinking it dangerous to carry this doctrine of copyright too far," -but ultimately decided that an East India calendar or directory[73] -containing the names and appointments on the Indian establishment, -obtained with considerable labour and expense from the repositories -in India House, was the subject of copyright. This decision was -followed by Lord Chancellor Eldon in 1809 in the case of "A -Court Calendar."[74] In 1861 a street directory of Birmingham was -protected,[75] and in 1866 "Kelly's Post Office London Directory."[76] -In this last-mentioned case it was suggested in defence that the -various residents had given their names for public use, and that -therefore any one could copy them; this contention, however, was -rejected, and it was held that the information contained in a -directory was similar to that in a road-book or map; it was open to -all mankind, but that he who collected and described it was entitled -to prevent any one else from taking the results of his labours. In -_Morris_ v. _Ashbee_,[77] a trade directory, called "The Business -Directory of London," was protected. This work contained the names -and occupations of merchants and traders carrying on business in or -about London. Those traders who paid the proprietor of the directory -one shilling annually were entitled to have their names printed in -capital letters, and a further payment entitled them to "extra lines" -descriptive of their vocations. The defendants took from this work the -names in capital letters and the "extra lines," and contended that -they were entitled to do so; but it was held that the payment by the -several persons whose names were inserted had not the effect of making -the names and descriptions when inserted common property, and that -as the plaintiff had incurred the labour and expense of getting the -necessary information and arranging it, he was entitled to protection. - -[Sidenote: Trade Directory.] - -[Sidenote: Sheet of Advertisements.] - -In _Lamb_ v. _Evans_[78] the defendants had copied extensively from -a trade directory. The directory consisted of a list of tradesmen -in various localities. In some cases their names and addresses only -were entered, and in others more elaborate advertisements containing -descriptions of articles in which the advertiser dealt. The entries -in the directory were classified under headings, giving short -descriptions of the particular trades; each separate heading was -arranged so that the proper catch-words occurred first in alphabetical -order, and each heading was repeated in three other languages -after the English heading. The Court of Appeal held that although -the plaintiffs had no copyright in each individual entry, they had -copyright at least in the headings. They were the result of literary -labour both as regards the composition of the headings themselves and -their collocation and concatenation in the book.[79] Their Lordships -were also of opinion, although they said it was unnecessary to decide -the question, that there was copyright in the mass of advertisements -as collected and arranged. Lindley, L. J., said: - - "I do not see myself the difficulty in the publishers having a - copyright in a sheet of advertisements. I do see a difficulty - in his having a copyright in one advertisement, because, as Mr. - Justice Chitty pointed out, that might prevent the advertiser from - republishing his advertisements in another paper, which is absurd. - But to say that it follows from that that the proprietor, say of - the _Times_, has no copyright in a sheet of advertisements so that - he cannot restrain anybody from copying that sheet appears to me a - very different proposition."[80] - -[Sidenote: Catalogues.] - -Tradesmen's catalogues, consisting of lists descriptive or otherwise -of the articles in which they deal, have been often attacked as -being devoid of literary merit. In _Hotten_ v. _Arthur_[81] the -plaintiff's copyright in a descriptive catalogue of old books which -he had in stock was challenged. This catalogue was not a mere list -of the books by name, but contained short notices of the contents -and general nature of the various volumes. Page Wood, V. C., found -no difficulty in deciding that such a catalogue was the subject of -copyright, notwithstanding that the catalogues were for the purpose of -advertising the plaintiff's stock-in-trade, and were not themselves -offered for sale. In _Cobbett_ v. _Woodward_[82] the doctrine laid -down by Page Wood, V. C., received a check. In that case the plaintiff -had published a catalogue containing numerous engravings and -illustrations of designs and articles of furniture which were sold by -his firm. Lord Romilly, M. R., refused to grant an injunction against a -rival tradesman who, in a similar publication, appropriated at least -fifty of the plaintiff's illustrations, and in his judgment he said: - -[Sidenote: Advertisements.] - - "But at the last it always comes round to this, that there is no - copyright in an advertisement. If you copy the advertisement of - another, you do him no wrong, unless in doing so you lead the - public to believe that you sell the articles of the person whose - advertisement you copy."[83] - -The next case in which this question came before the Courts was -_Grace_ v. _Newman_.[84] The book infringed was a volume containing -lithographic sketches of monumental designs, and a little letterpress. -The sole object of the book was to serve as an advertisement in the -plaintiff's business of "Cemetery Stone and Marble Mason." Hall, -V. C., granted an injunction, evading _Cobbett_ v. _Woodward_[85] -and following _Hotten_ v. _Arthur_.[86] In 1882 _Cobbett_ v. -_Woodward_[87] was expressly overruled in the Court of Appeal in -the case of _Maple & Co._ v. _Junior Army and Navy Stores_.[88] The -plaintiffs published an illustrated catalogue consisting almost -entirely of engravings of furniture with short descriptions and -prices. The catalogue was prepared by selecting articles of furniture -which were drawn by artists in their employment and then engraved. The -Court of Appeal sustaining the opinion of Hall, V. C., in the Court -below, held that the catalogue was the subject of copyright as a book. -Jessel, M. R., said: - - "The case which has done all the mischief is _Cobbett_ v. - _Woodward_.[89]... I think that is not law. I am not aware that - the use to which a proprietor puts his book makes any difference - in his rights. His copyright gives him the exclusive right of - multiplying copies, and he may use them as he pleases. I think, - therefore, that _Cobbett_ v. _Woodward_[90] will not bear legal - examination."[91] - -[Sidenote: Alphabetical Catalogue of Tradesmen's Goods.] - -In _Collis_ v. _Cater_[92] North, J., protected a catalogue of -medicinal articles which the plaintiff kept for sale. The articles -were arranged by their common names in alphabetical order under -various headings and sub-headings. The learned judge strongly -negatived the contention that a tradesman's catalogue would only be -protected when, as in _Hotten_ v. _Arthur_,[93] some amount of skill or -literary merit was shown. He said: - - "A distinction is made between copyright in a large catalogue - by a clever author which gives a great deal of information, and - is interesting to persons who read it, and a catalogue like - the plaintiffs, which is nothing whatever but a simple list of - certain articles described by their common names, which every - one is entitled to use with respect to them with the addition of - the prices at which they are sold.... In one way or another a - man engaged in preparing a catalogue of this sort has incurred - labour in its preparation, or it may be expense and trouble in its - preparation, and has done it for the advantage of having his own - catalogue.... I cannot see any distinction between this and the - publication of a directory. It seems to me to be exactly _in pari - materia_." - -[Sidenote: Telegraph Codes.] - -A list of telegraphic code words carefully selected so that, in their -transmission by the Morse system of dots and dashes, they would not -be liable to be mistaken or misspelt was admitted to be a copyright -work in _Ager_ v. _P. & O. Steam Navigation Co._[94] The same book, -"The Standard Telegram Code," was again protected in _Ager_ v. -_Collingridge_.[95] - -[Sidenote: Shipping Statistics.] - -[Sidenote: Mineral Statistics.] - -Lists of statistics compiled from various sources of information -are well recognised as original books. "The Clyde Bill of Entry and -Shipping List," containing a compilation of statistics collected from -the official records and documents in the Custom houses, was protected -in Scotland in 1846[96] and again in 1858.[97] The "Mineral Statistics -of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" was protected in -England in 1867.[98] It consisted of an annual statement of returns in -the City of London coal market, showing the quantity of coal imported -into London from the various collieries, and was compiled by the clerk -and registrar of the coal market from the day-books in the office. -Page Wood, V. C., said: - - "A great deal of time and labour must have been spent in this - compilation, more, indeed, than in the case of a directory or - guide, and there can be no doubt that he is entitled to be - protected in the fruits of his labour."[99] - -[Sidenote: Lists taken from public documents.] - -[Sidenote: List of Bills of Sale.] - -Compilations made from public documents and records are protected in -so far as there is selection or arrangement. A mere verbatim copy of a -public document would not be protected.[100] In _Trade Auxiliary Co._ -v. _Middlesborough_,[101] "Stubbs' Weekly Gazette" was protected from -infringement. The gazette contained a list of bills of sale registered -under the Bills of Sale Act and of deeds of arrangement registered -under the Deeds of Arrangement Act. The particulars of each bill of -sale had been taken from the official records, not merely from the -indexes on the official register but from the instruments themselves, -for the inspection of each of which a charge of 1s. or 2s. 6d. is -made. The same and other similar lists were also protected in _Cate_ -v. _Devon_.[102] - -[Sidenote: Specifications of Patents.] - -In _Wyatt_ v._ Barnard_[103] Lord Chancellor Eldon refused protection -to a copy of specifications of patents taken from the patent office. -If this decision meant that a selection, arrangement, or abridgment -of the specifications in the patent office would not be protected, it -cannot be considered sound law. - -[Sidenote: List of Foxhounds.] - -In _Cox_ v. _Land and Water_[104] Malins, V. C., although he refused -to grant an injunction on the grounds of its probable inefficacy, -expressed a strong opinion that a list of packs of foxhounds, with the -hunting days of each pack and their respective masters and huntsmen, -was the subject of property. The information contained in the list was -obtained by issuing circulars requesting the masters of the hunt to -fill up the required information. The Vice-Chancellor in his judgment -said: - - "It is clear that in this case the getting of the names of masters - of hunts, the number of hounds, the huntsmen and whips, and so - forth is information open to all those who seek to obtain it; - but it is information they must get at their own expense, as the - result of their own labour, and they are not to be entitled to the - results of the labours undergone by others." - -[Sidenote: Time Tables.] - -One of the leading cases in this branch of copyright law is _Leslie_ -v. _Young_,[105] a Scotch appeal case. The pursuer's book consisted -of a monthly penny railway time table, published in Perth. It was -compiled from the various railway companies' time tables. Some of -these were taken verbatim and some were abridged by the smaller -stations being omitted, and to the whole was added a list of -convenient circular tours around Perth compiled by the pursuer. -The defender in compiling a rival time table, copied many of these -tables and all of the circular tours from the pursuer's book, either -literally or with colourable differences only. As regards the time -tables the House of Lords sustained the judgment of the Inner House -in refusing an interdict. The mere publication, they said, in any -particular order of the time tables which are to be found in railway -guides and the publications of the different railway companies, could -not be claimed as a subject-matter of copyright. In dealing with the -abridged time tables Lord Herschell, L. C., said: - - "Looking at these tables as a whole, and having regard to the - fact that it is admitted that the defender's work is, as regards - these tables, not by any means in all respects a copy of the - pursuer's work, that it was not denied that there was a certain - amount of original work done by them in compiling these tables, - and that these are the differences which have been pointed out, - I do not think that it can be said that as regards these tables - there has been an appropriation by the defender of the pursuer's - work such as to entitle the pursuer to complain and to obtain the - interdict which he claims. The real truth is that although it is - not to be disputed that there may be copyright in a compilation or - abstract involving independent labour, yet when you come to such - a subject-matter as that with which we are dealing, it ought to - be clearly established that, looking at these tables as a whole, - there has been a substantial appropriation by the one party of - the independent labour of the other before any proceeding on the - ground of copyright can be justified." - -As regards the circular tours the House of Lords reversed the judgment -of the Court of Session and granted an interdict. The Lord Chancellor -said: - - "It appears to me the only part of the work which can be said - to indicate any considerable amount of independent labour and - be entitled to be regarded as an original work.... It seems - to me that this was a compilation containing an abridgment of - information of a very useful character, and such as was likely - to be taken advantage of by those who were travelling in the - neighbourhood of Perth." - -[Sidenote: Tables of Calculation.] - -Mathematical calculations are undoubtedly subjects of copyright. In -_Baily_ v. _Taylor_[106] Sir John Leach, M. R., evidently assumed -that they were, although in that case he refused an injunction on -the grounds that a very small part had been copied, that what was -copied could have been calculated again in a few hours, and that -there was unreasonable delay in bringing the action. In _M'Neill_ v. -_Williams_[107] protection was sought for "Comprehensive Tables for -the Calculation of Earthwork as connected with Railways," &c. Knight -Bruce, V. C., refused an interim injunction, but he did not suggest -that the calculations were not the subject of copyright. - -[Sidenote: Forms and Precedents.] - -[Sidenote: Conveyancing Precedents.] - -Forms and Precedents and similar works are made and published for the -very purpose that they should be bought and used in business or other -transactions. To this extent copying is of course no infringement, -but they will be protected from any copying other than that which is -impliedly permitted by their publication. In _Webb_ v. _Rose_[108] -precedents of conveyancing were stolen from a barrister's chambers and -printed against his will. The Court had not the least hesitation in -restraining the defendant from printing and publishing them. In the -Scotch case of _Alexander_ v. _Mackenzie_[109] the claim of "Styles -and Precedents of Conveyancing" to protection under the Copyright Acts -was recognised by the Inner House. The forms in question were drawn -up from general directions contained in the "Heritable Securities and -Infeftments Acts," and it was contended that, as all who followed -these directions must arrive at almost identically the same result, -there could be no copyright in a precedent so produced. The Court was -unanimously of opinion that although such work did not require the -exercise of original or creative genius, yet it implied industry and -knowledge, and was undoubtedly the subject of copyright. - -[Sidenote: Application Form.] - -In _Southern_ v. _Bailes_[110] a form of application by intending -students to a "Lessons by Correspondence Department" was protected by -Chitty, J. The learned judge granted an injunction against copying -the plaintiff's form, but thought it would be dangerous to extend the -injunction in such a matter to colourable imitations, as there was a -great deal in the form any one could have put together for himself. - -[Sidenote: Selections and Extracts from Non-copyright Works.] - -[Sidenote: Collection of Cookery Recipes.] - -[Sidenote: Topographical Dictionary.] - -[Sidenote: Child's A B C.] - -[Sidenote: "Guide to Science."] - -It was very early recognised that the skill and labour of selecting -and arranging extracts from previously published books was sufficient -to entitle the compiler to copyright in the new work thereby -produced.[111] Copyright can thus be obtained without the composition -of a single sentence. There is composition, but the composition is of -new arrangement and not of new matter. In _Rundell_ v. _Murray_[112] -Lord Chancellor Eldon expressed his opinion that a collection of -cookery recipes would have entitled the plaintiff who collected them -to copyright, even if she had merely embodied and arranged them in a -book. If, however, she had only collected them and handed them over -to the publishers, he did not think that would give her copyright. -In _Lewis_ v. _Fullarton_[113] "The Topographical Dictionary of -England," which consisted partly of compilations and selections from -former works, was recognised as being the subject of copyright. In -_Lennie_ v. _Pillans_[114] the Court of Session in Scotland were -of opinion that "The Child's A B C," consisting in a great degree -of extracts from and repetition of previous publications by other -authors, was entitled to protection on account of the original -arrangement, selection, abridgment, or amplification of such borrowed -materials. In _Jarrold_ v. _Houlston_[115] Page Wood, V. C., granted -an injunction against the piracy of Dr. Brewer's "Guide to Science." -The book was intended for the instruction of tiros in science, and was -composed largely from previous works, aided by notes taken from time -to time of popular ideas concerning various scientific phenomena. The -Vice-Chancellor said: - - "That an author has a copyright in a work of this description is - beyond all doubt. If any one by pains and labour collects and - reduces into the form of a systematic course of instruction those - questions which he may find ordinary persons asking in reference - to the common phenomena of life, with answers to these questions - and explanations of these phenomena, whether such explanations - and answers are furnished by his own recollection of his former - general reading or out of works consulted by him for the express - purpose, the reduction of questions so collected, with such - answers under certain heads and in a scientific form, is amply - sufficient to constitute an original work of which the copyright - will be protected." - -[Sidenote: French Dictionary.] - -The same judge, in _Spiers_ v. _Brown_,[116] in considering an alleged -infringement of "Spiers' School Dictionary," said: - - "In a large part of his work Dr. Spiers could have no copyright as - to words and expressions, though he might have it as to new words - introduced or new acceptations, or as to the order and arrangement - by which he improved the particular work he had in hand." - -[Sidenote: Selections of Poetry.] - -In an Indian case Palgrave's "Golden Treasury of Songs and Lyrics" was -protected. It consisted in a selection and arrangement of poems and -fragments of poems from the non-copyright works of many poets. The -defendant took the selected portions, rearranged them, and made a few -additions. His book was condemned as an infringement.[117] - -[Sidenote: Abridgments.] - -Lawfully made abridgments are protected on account of the judgment -which the abridger must exercise in order to do his work well.[118] - -[Sidenote: Translations.] - -Lawfully made translations are also protected as if they were original -works.[119] The protection will only extend to the work of the -translator. A translator by translating a non-copyright work acquires -no exclusive right to translate. Others may do the same from the -original non-copyright source. - -[Sidenote: Adaptations.] - -An author is entitled to copyright by reason of lawful adaptation of a -book from one form to another; thus, if he dramatizes a novel, or by -material alteration and rearrangement produces a new version of an -old play.[120] The adaptation of music, for instance an opera score -for the pianoforte,[121] or the rearrangement of an old tune,[122] is -the subject of copyright. - -[Sidenote: New Editions and Notes.] - -New editions either of copyright or non-copyright works are protected -as original books, but only to the extent to which they consist of -original material in the way of notes to, or substantial revision -and alteration of the old text. Lord Chancellor Hardwicke[123] -granted an injunction against the piracy of a new edition of Milton's -"Paradise Lost" containing original notes by Dr. Newton. In _Cary_ v. -_Longman_[124] new material added to an old road-book was protected. -In _Murray_ v. _Bogue_[125] in the case of a subsequent edition of a -guide-book, Kindersley, V. C., said: - - "If a man prints a second edition, not being a mere reprint of - the first edition, but containing considerable and material - alterations and additions, _quoad_ those, it is a new work."[126] - -In _Cadell_ v. _Anderson_[127] the Court of Session in Scotland held -that the pursuers had the sole right of printing and reprinting -"Blackstone's Commentaries;" and as regards those editions in which -there were corrections and continuations, their term of copyright -began to run afresh with respect to such new material. In _Black_ v. -_Murray & Son_[128] the notes in Lockhart's edition of Scott's "Border -Minstrelsy" were protected, the copyright in the original edition of -the "Border Minstrelsy" having expired. Lord President Inglis, in the -course of a long and elaborate judgment, said: - - "Questions of great nicety and difficulty may arise as to how far - a new edition of a work is a proper subject of copyright at all; - but that must always depend upon circumstances. A new edition of - a book may be a mere reprint of an old edition, and plainly that - would not entitle the author to a new term of copyright running - from the date of the new edition. On the other hand, the new - edition of a book may be so enlarged and improved as to constitute - in reality a new work, and that just as clearly will entitle the - author to a copyright running from the date of the new edition.... - That there may be copyright in the notes, even when the book is - not under the protection of copyright, is quite a fixed principle - in the law, and most desirably so. There is no doubt that the - compilation of good notes to a standard work is a task worthy of - the highest literary talents and reputation.... Of the 200 notes - the defender's counsel tells us that 15 only consist of original - matter, while the remaining 185 are quotations from other books - and authors. Now this seemed to be considered to be a sort of - disparagement of the value of the notes, in which I cannot at - all agree.... The quotations are, in many places, most apposite, - and highly illustrative of the text, and exceedingly interesting - to the reader, and certainly the selection and application of - such quotations from other books may exercise as high literary - faculties as the composition of original matter." - -If a new edition is a mere reprint of what has been published -in "book" form before, it is obvious that no new or independent -copyright can be claimed in it.[129] So also if there are only slight -corrections, verbal alterations, and the like. Lord Mackenzie, in the -Scotch case of _Hedderwick_ v. _Griffin_,[130] said: - - "I doubt very much if there can be right of literary property - in the exclusion from an edition of the works of any author of - articles not truly written or published by that author, or in the - correction of accidental errors, or in the mere order and titles - of articles which seem to be all, or nearly all, that can be - claimed by the pursuers in this case."[131] - -The publication of an old work with an index not previously published -would undoubtedly be copyright as to the index.[132] - -In _Black_ v. _Murray_[133] Lord Deas was of opinion that the -alteration of a single word in a poem was sufficient to give a new -edition an independent copyright, inasmuch as the alteration was very -important and entirely altered the meaning of the line in which it was -used. The other judges, however, did not altogether concur in Lord -Deas' opinion; and it would seem that his lordship stretched the law -as to new editions too far. - -[Sidenote: Reports.] - -[Sidenote: Law Reports.] - -The question whether a verbatim report of oral proceedings is a "book" -within the meaning of the Copyright Acts was long a moot question. -That there might be copyright in law reports and similar matter, -in so far as they consisted of a summary of the proceedings in the -author's own language, was early recognised. In _Butterworth_ v. -_Robinson_[134] the "Term Reports"; in _Sweet_ v. _Shaw_,[135] Meeson -and Welsby's reports, and others; and in _Sweet_ v. _Maughan_[136] -the reports in the "Jurist" were protected; but it does not appear -in the reports of these cases whether any copyright was claimed in -the verbatim reports of the judgment of the Court. In _Saunders_ v. -_Smith_[137] Lord Cottenham, L. C., refused an injunction against -"Smith's Leading Cases" on equitable grounds, but said he would not -decide the legal question as to whether that publication infringed -the copyright in the "Term Reports" and others. In _Sweet_ v. -_Benning_[138] the defendants published a "Monthly Digest" into -which were copied numerous head notes of cases taken bodily from the -"Jurist." The Court held that these head notes were copyright, and -that the defendant's work was an infringement. - - "The head note or the side or marginal note of a report is a - thing upon which much skill and exercise of thought are required - to express in clear and concise language the principle of law - to be deduced from the decision to which it is prefixed, or the - facts and circumstances which bring the case in hand within some - principle or rule of law or of practice."[139] - -[Sidenote: Verbatim Reports.] - -So far, therefore, as appears from the reports of these cases our -Courts had only recognised copyright in the matter of reports to the -extent to which that matter was the composition of the author, only, -in short, when it was a description in his own language of what had -taken place. The American Courts had held[140] that there was no -copyright in the verbatim report of a judgment of the Court, but -their decisions were based to a large extent on the ground of public -policy. The judgments of the Court, they said, were published to the -whole of the people of the United States, and no individual could -acquire a monopoly with respect to them. _Walter_ v. _Lane_[141] -has to a large extent cleared up the doubtful state of our law as -regards reports, but it cannot be said that it has done so entirely. -_Walter_ v. _Lane_[142] decides that a reporter can have copyright -in a verbatim report of the oral utterances of another from whom he -derives no title. In that case certain reporters of the _Times_ were -present at various meetings at which Lord Rosebery made speeches. -These speeches were taken down in shorthand and appeared in the -_Times_ the following morning, reproducing as nearly as possible -verbatim the words which Lord Rosebery had spoken. Lane, a publisher, -subsequently published a book entitled "Appreciations and Addresses: -Lord Rosebery," and purporting to be a collection of some of Lord -Rosebery's speeches. Five of the speeches in this book were taken -from the reports in the _Times_, as was admitted by the defendant, -substantially verbatim. The House of Lords reversing the judgment of -the Court of Appeal and restoring the judgment of North, J., held that -the reports in the _Times_ were copyright, and that the reporters' -assignees, the proprietors of the _Times_, were the owners of the -copyright. Lord Chancellor Halsbury in his judgment said: - - "My Lords, I should very much regret it if I were compelled to - come to the conclusion that the state of the law permitted one - man to make profit and to appropriate to himself the labour, - skill, and capital of another. And it is not denied that in this - case the defendant seeks to appropriate to himself what has been - produced by the skill, labour, and capital of others. In the view - I take of this case I think the law is strong enough to restrain - what to my mind would be a grievous injustice.... The speeches - and the sheets of letterpress in which they were contained were - books first published in this country; and I confess, upon looking - at the definition and the right conferred, I am wholly unable - to discern why they are not protected by the statute from being - pirated by unauthorised persons. The sole ground, as I understand - the judgment of the Court of Appeal, is that in their judgment the - producer of a written speech, unless he is the original speaker, - cannot be an 'author' within the meaning of the Act. My Lords, - it seems to me that this argument is based upon too narrow and - misleading a use of the word 'author.'... The producer of this - written composition is, to my mind, the person who is the author - of the book within the meaning of the statute.... I do not find - the word 'original' in the statute, or any word which imparts it - as a condition precedent, or makes originality of thought or idea - necessary to the right."[143] - -We must be careful not to carry the doctrine of _Walter_ v. -_Lane_[144] further than the actual decision warrants. It should -be noticed, for instance, that the essence of the case is that the -reporter was entitled to copyright, because it was he who first -reduced to "book" form the literary composition contained in Lord -Rosebery's speeches. If, therefore, Lord Rosebery had, before -delivering his speeches, done as some statesmen and many clergymen -do, _i. e._, reduced them to writing, the reporter would probably not -have had copyright, since his report would then have been a mere copy -of the speaker's original manuscript, a very different thing from -being the first manuscript.[145] Again, it must be noticed that Lord -Rosebery claimed no proprietary right in his speeches. It was admitted -by counsel that he had freely abandoned his words to the world so that -any one might make of them what use he pleased. Lord Rosebery might -have secured a right in his own speeches if he had cared to do so. He -might have delivered them to a limited audience[146] under an implied -contract that those who heard his speeches should make no other use of -them except by listening to them and benefiting by the entertainment -and general information conveyed. Possibly he might also have secured -a statutory copyright in them as lectures by giving notice in writing -two days before delivering the same to two justices living within four -miles of the place of delivery.[147] If in either of these ways Lord -Rosebery had secured a proprietary right for himself it is doubtful -whether a reporter unauthorised by him could have acquired copyright -in his report. The report would have been an infringement of Lord -Rosebery's rights, but the reporter might nevertheless be held to -have a copyright against the rest of the world. It should also be -noticed in connexion with this case that it was expressly stated by -the judges in the House of Lords that any number of reporters could -make a report of the same speech, and each would have a separate -copyright. In _Walter_ v. _Lane_[148] the defendant admitted that -he took his book from the _Times'_ report. It is obvious, however, -that if a speech were reported in, say, six newspapers, any one -could reprint it, and by careful correction of the parts in which -the reports varied baffle any one of the newspaper proprietors in an -attempt to prove that the speech was taken from his newspaper. Another -question with regard to verbatim reports, which is not necessarily -covered by _Walter_ v. _Lane_,[149] is in reference to verbatim -reports of judgments in the Courts. Will the American doctrine be -adopted that it is against public policy that there should be any -monopoly in them?[150] - -[Sidenote: Mechanical Devices.] - -[Sidenote: Cricket Scoring Card.] - -The law of copyright does not protect anything in the nature of a -mechanical device, except in so far as apart from any mechanical -application it conveys ideas or information to the person reading it. -In _Page_ v. _Wisden_[151] it was claimed by the plaintiff that he -had literary copyright in a cricket-scoring card, the only novelty -in which was a line along which could be indicated "Runs at the -fall of each wicket." Malins, V. C., held that such a thing was not -a book within the Act, and characterised it as absurd to contend -that a particular mode of ruling a book constituted an object for a -copyright.[152] - -[Sidenote: Shadow Trick.] - -[Sidenote: Barometer Face.] - -In _Cable_ v. _Mark_,[153] Bacon, V. C., refused to protect under the -Literary Act "The Christograph--the Christian's Puzzle: suitable -for all sects and denominations." This consisted of an envelope on -which the above title was inscribed. Inside the envelope was a card -perforated in such a way that when held up in a strong light it threw -upon the wall a shadow which was supposed to represent the picture -"Ecce Homo." The Vice-Chancellor in his judgment described it as a -mere child's trick and nothing else. The face of a barometer was -held by Chitty, J., in _Davis_ v. _Comitti_[154] not to be a book. -It consisted of a circular card on which were printed various words -such as "set fair," "high winds," &c., and on which the hands of the -barometer moved. The learned judge said: - - "Separated from the instrument it was not intended to have and - has no use or meaning whatever. Regarded as a card apart from - the instrument it not only foretells nothing, but tells nothing. - By reading the printed matter on the card alone, no intelligible - proposition is arrived at." - -[Sidenote: Sleeve Chart.] - -Protection was claimed in _Hollinrake_ v. _Truswell_[155] for a -cardboard pattern sleeve called the "Cosmopolitan Sleeve Chart." It -consisted of a piece of cardboard cut to suitable shape and size and -marked with figures and directions, such as "measure round the thick -part of the arm," and it was intended to be used for the purpose of -measuring and cutting out sleeves. The Court of Appeal reversed the -judgment of Wright, J., and dismissed the action. Lord Herschell -said: - - "The object of the Copyright Act was to prevent any one publishing - a copy of the particular form of expression in which an author - conveyed ideas or information to the world. These may be retained - by any one, although the book, map, or chart which embodied them - has passed out of his possession. If he were to commit to memory - the contents of the book or the information disclosed by the map - or chart, he would be as much in possession of the author's ideas - or information as if the book, map, or chart were physically in - his hands. But this is not the case with the words or figures upon - the sleeve chart. They are intended to be used, and can only be - used in connection with that upon which they are inscribed.... I - think it clear, therefore, that what the plaintiff has sought to - protect under the Act for the protection of literary productions - is not a literary production, but an apparatus for the use of - which certain words and figures must necessarily be inscribed upon - it."[156] - -[Sidenote: Railway Ticket.] - -In a Canadian case a railway ticket containing the names of stations -on the line and dates so arranged that when punched it indicated where -the holder was entitled to travel, was refused protection. It was -said that without the application of the conductor's punch, the ticket -was senseless and meaningless.[157] - -[Sidenote: Scroll for Mechanical Instrument and Directions thereon.] - -In _Boosey_ v. _Whight_[158] it was held that a sheet of music was not -infringed by a perforated scroll for use in a mechanical instrument; -and further, that the directions in the printed music, _e. g. pp., -crescendo_, were not the subject of copyright apart from the printed -sheet, and therefore might be taken and used in conjunction with the -perforated scroll. It seems to follow that neither the perforated -scroll nor the directions thereon would constitute a "book" within the -meaning of the Act. - -[Sidenote: Sporting Tips.] - -_Chilton's Special Guide_ published weekly sporting information. Among -other matter it contained their sporting prophet's "tips" for the big -races in the ensuing week. This was contained in a list, thus: - - ONE HORSE SELECTIONS. - - _Tuesday_ Keelson. - _Wednesday_ Priestholm. - _Thursday_ Coelus. - _Friday_ Dromonby. - -The Progress Printing and Publishing Company published daily at the -various race meetings racing sheets with the day's "tips" from various -sporting papers, thus: - - THE SPECIALS, ONE HORSE TRIALS. - - _The Jockey_ Rusina - _Racing World_ Keelson - _Gale's_ Keelson - _Chilton_ Keelson. - _Grant's Opinion_ Juda. - _Turf Marvel_ Kenney. - -The Court of Appeal held[159] that there could be no copyright in the -individual selections for each day, but suggested that there might be -copyright in the list of selections for the week, and that it would be -an infringement to take it bodily. Lindley, L. J., in giving judgment, -said: - - "Unless you find the one horse selection and that block which is - headed by the title 'One Horse Selections' in the shape in which - the plaintiff has published it, I doubt whether you can bring - it within literary composition at all. Perhaps the whole of that - might be called literary composition; but there is no literary - composition in the word 'Priestholm.'"[160] - -[Sidenote: Illustrations.] - -[Sidenote: To Non-copyright Letterpress.] - -Engravings, prints, designs, or other reproductions of artistic -matter will be protected under the law of literary copyright either -when published in the form of a volume or when published in connexion -and together with letterpress. By this means compliance with the -stringent requirements of the Acts relating to artistic copyright is -avoided. The first case where an illustration was held to be part of -a book, and therefore protected under 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, was _Bogue_ -v. _Houlston_.[161]. The plaintiff published some old non-copyright -tales, including "Reynard the Fox," and illustrated them with original -drawings of animals. These woodcuts were pirated by the defendants, -and used as illustrations in their serial publication, "The Story-Book -for Young People, by Aunt Mary." The plaintiff did not claim copyright -in any letterpress.[162] The defendants maintained that the woodcuts -not having been published so as to comply with the provisions of the -Engravings Acts, could not be protected from piracy. It was held, -however, that they were part of a book. Parker, V. C., in giving -judgment, quoted the definition of a book from the Act 5 & 6 Vict. c. -45, and continued: - - "This definition does not extend to prints or designs separately - published, but only to the prints and designs forming part of a - book, and the book is not less a book because it contains prints - or designs or other illustrations of the letterpress. This Act - vested in the proprietor of such book duly registered the right to - sue in respect of any invasion or infringement of the copyright of - his book. It appears to me that a book must include every part of - the book; it must include every print, design, or engraving which - forms part of the book as well as the letterpress therein which is - another part of it."[163] - -[Sidenote: No Letterpress.] - -[Sidenote: Christmas Card.] - -[Sidenote: Plate issued separately.] - -In _Maple & Co_. v. _Junior Army and Navy Stores_,[164] the engravings -in an illustrated catalogue, containing almost no letterpress, were -protected under 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45. "There may be such things," -said Jessel, M. R., "as picture-books for those who cannot read -letterpress."[165] In _Hildesheimer & Faulkner_ v. _Dunn & Co._,[166] -protection was claimed for a Christmas card cut out and painted in -the form of a lady's hand. It opened out book-wise, and inside were -delineated the lines of life according to the rules of palmistry, and -on one side there was an original verse. This work was registered -both under 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 as a book and 25 & 26 Vict. c. 68 as a -painting. Kekewich, J., in granting an injunction against a piracy, -said he would not decide whether the work was a picture or a book, but -as it was well registered under both Acts, an action lay. In _Comyns_ -v. _Hyde_,[167] a coloured plate representing an Orpington cock was -issued with the weekly number of a serial publication called _The -Feathered World_. The plate was not in any way physically connected -with the rest of the publication, but it was illustrative of an -article in the journal, and a copy was given to every purchaser. -Stirling, J., held that it must be protected as part of the book. If -a plate or picture has been previously published in separate form, -without complying with the provisions of the Engravings Acts, it will -not subsequently receive protection by reason of its incorporation -into a volume.[168] In _Strong_ v. _Worskett_[169] a magazine was -before publication advertised by means of illustrated posters. The -same illustration as appeared on the posters was afterwards reproduced -in the magazine. It was held that it could not be protected as part -of the magazine. The result of these decisions appears to be that an -artistic work will be protected under the Literary Copyright Act, -1842, if it is bound up with other artistic works in the form of a -volume, or if it is published in connexion with letterpress. The -picture on a Christmas card on which there are also verses, would, it -is submitted, be protected as a book, and, it would seem, whether or -not the verses were copyright, and whether or not (but this is more -doubtful) the picture was in any way illustrative of the verses. It is -also submitted that an engraving published in a magazine without any -relation to the letterpress, except that of physical connexion, would -be protected as part of the book; but an engraving or print which had -neither any relation to the letterpress nor physical connexion would -probably not be protected even although issued gratis with every copy -of the magazine. - -It need hardly be said that anonymous works are entitled to copyright. -The publication of a work without the author's name is not to be -construed as an abandonment of the literary property.[170] - -[Sidenote: Maps.] - -Maps, charts, and plans are expressly included in the definition of a -"book." If incorporated in a volume they will be protected with the -rest of the volume under its general title; if published separately -they will be protected as "books" by themselves. The meaning of -"maps," &c., will be literally construed; but it must be something -which in itself conveys information to the person studying it. Davey, -L. J., in speaking of maps, said:[171] - - "I agree ... that a 'map' is not confined to what is popularly - known as a map--viz. a geographical map; and that a 'chart' is - not confined to what is popularly called a chart--viz. a map of a - portion of the seas showing the rocks, soundings, and such-like - information for the use of navigators.... There may, no doubt, be - an anatomical and physiological plan showing the structure and - distribution of the muscles and bones of the human arm, or any - other part of the human frame, which would be protected by the - Copyright Act." - -[Sidenote: Music.] - -The exclusive right of making copies of original music is expressly -protected by the Act of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 under the definition of a -book. Under the statute of Anne it was protected by case law, "book" -being held to include a volume or sheet of music.[172] - - -SECTION II.--PUBLICATION. - -Publication divests the author or proprietor of an unpublished work -of his common law rights therein. After publication his right to -protection depends solely upon the statute. Publication must be looked -at from two points of view--divestitive, _i. e._ as taking away the -author's common law right; and investitive, _i. e._ as clothing him -with the statutory right. - -=Divestitive Publication.=--If a literary work is communicated -to the public without restriction, the common law right of the -author terminates. This may be done orally or by written or printed -manuscript. Either kind of communication, however, may be so limited -as not to amount to a publication. A drama or musical work is not -published by being publicly performed in a theatre or concert -room,[173] since the communication is limited to those who have paid -their price for admission, and they are admitted under an implied -contract that they will not make any use of what they hear except -for their own entertainment and instruction. The same applies to -lectures delivered at a University[174] or by a private lecturer.[175] -The question as to when a public speaker or preacher publishes the -speech or sermon which he delivers is one of extreme difficulty, and -depends on the relation of the speaker to his audience.[176] If a -literary composition is orally communicated in a place to which all -have admission as of right, or to which all are admitted without -distinction, and where there are no circumstances from which a -contractual relationship between the speaker and his audience can -be inferred, the matter so communicated will be abandoned to the -public to make what use of it they please. Similarly communication -by means of manuscript or print may be limited or unlimited. Private -distribution of copies of a book is not publication, because the -essence of publication is that the matter must be available to all -comers and not only to a class;[177] but the issue of a book to -subscribers only would be publication if the subscription list was -open to the public at large, and even although the number of copies -available was very small. In one case[178] the words of a song were -held to be published by being printed on a music-hall programme and -distributed in the streets as an advertisement. Exhibition in a public -place without distribution of copies would undoubtedly be divestitive -publication. Divestitive publication must be with the consent of the -proprietor; an unlicensed publication would merely be an infringement -of his rights. - -=Investitive Publication.=--Publication vests the statutory right of -copyright, but a publication which divests the common law right does -not necessarily invest the statutory right. An investitive publication -is of necessity also a divestitive publication, but not _vice versâ_. -The principal distinction is that an investitive publication must -be a publication of a book, while a divestitive publication is a -publication of the literary composition which is or may be contained -in a book. Thus the delivery of a lecture does not vest copyright, -although under certain circumstances it may divest the common law -right. The book itself must be given to the public, and not merely the -contents, in order to secure copyright. It has been suggested that a -book will not be published within the meaning of the Copyright Act -unless it is also printed. There is certainly some colour for this -suggestion. The Act 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 gives protection to all books -which are "published" without any express restriction to printed -books. It seems to be assumed, however, throughout the Act that a -book when published must necessarily be in print. For instance, -section 6 requires "That a printed copy ... shall be delivered at the -British Museum." In section 11 again, where provision is made for -registration, it is not contemplated that a book in which there is -copyright could be in manuscript, although the section makes express -provision for the registration of manuscript dramatic and musical -pieces, in respect of performing right. There is no authority on -this point. In _White_ v. _Geroch_[179] it was said that publication -of a musical piece in manuscript vested the statutory copyright; -but this was under the statute of Anne, which seems expressly to -contemplate publication in manuscript which 5 & 6 Vict. certainly does -not. In _Boucicault_ v. _Chatterton_[180] James, L. J., says: "a book -is published by being printed and issued to the public;" but this -was said only in illustration of the point he was then making, viz. -that publication does not necessarily mean the same thing in dealing -with copyright as it does in dealing with performing right. On the -whole, although the point is extremely doubtful, I am of opinion that -printing is not required. Suppose an illuminated hand-made book, fifty -copies put on the market, is that to be denied copyright? If it is, -the result seems to be that it is unprotected from piracy, since the -common law right terminates with unconditional publication. Another -point on publication has been raised but not decided, viz.: Must there -be a distribution of copies to the public, or will it be sufficient if -one or more copies are made accessible to the public; for instance, by -deposit of a copy at the British Museum or in other public libraries. -Sir James Stephen, in his Digest appended to the "Report of the -Copyright Commission, 1878," Art. 4, says: "publication ... means in -reference to books, publication for sale;" and James, L. J., as cited -above, suggests that there must be an "issuing to the public." On the -other hand, the disjunctive use of the terms "published" and "offered -for sale " in section 6 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 is rather in favour of -the view that there can be investitive publication without "offering -for sale." Analogy from other branches of the law is unreliable; the -exhibition of a picture in a public gallery is publication of the -picture,[181] but that is the only way in which a picture can be -published. On the whole, I think that if the public have free and -unrestricted access to a book there will be publication, even although -they may not be able to procure copies for themselves. Something might -depend on the rules of a library where the book was deposited. - -There is a common practice among publishers to accept as proof of -first publication a receipt given on the sale of a single copy of -the book. No doubt this is _primâ facie_ proof of publication, but -the sale of a single copy does not necessarily imply publication, and -it would be open to any one disputing the date of the publication to -say that the sale was collusive, and that the book was not at that -time, as it must be in order to constitute publication, offered to the -public. It would be sufficient publication for the publisher to place -copies, or even one copy of the book, in his window for sale. The -record in his books should be sufficient evidence of the date if it is -disputed. - -In a case[182] under the statute of Anne it was held that publication -must be by or on behalf of the proprietor, or at least with the view -of conferring copyright upon him. The publication in that case was -made by an oral assignee to whom the author had purported to convey -the exclusive right of publication in the United Kingdom. It was -held that the assignee had no copyright because there was no written -assignment, and that the author did not acquire copyright because the -publication was not on his behalf. The result seems to be that the -copyright was lost. If the principle is sound, which is extremely -doubtful, it might be applied to the case of first publication by a -licensee, unless it could be implied from the contract between the -licensor and licensee that the licensee was not acting entirely on his -own behalf, but also on behalf of his licensor to secure copyright. - -=First Publication within the British Dominions.=--Under the Act of 5 -& 6 Vict. c. 45, it was held essential that first publication should -be within the United Kingdom;[183] but since the International Act -of 1886[184] first publication anywhere within the British dominions -will equally secure copyright. If a book is published simultaneously -within and without the dominions it is sufficient.[185] Publication a -day later than publication abroad would probably lose the copyright; -but if on the same day, even although an hour or two later, it would -be deemed simultaneous. If a serial story in a periodical is being -published simultaneously, say here and in the United States, some -parts may have lost their copyright by too hasty publication in -America, but this would not deprive the whole serial of copyright -if the other parts were "first published" within the British -dominions.[186] The date on the title-page of an American book has -been held not to be conclusive evidence of the time of publication in -the United States.[187] It is quite immaterial where the manuscript -is written;[188] and probably equally immaterial where the book is -printed. It has been suggested, however, that under 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, -printing within the United Kingdom was necessary, and that now since -the "International Copyright Act, 1886," printing within the British -dominions is a condition precedent to protection. I do not think the -suggestion is of any weight. It is founded on two _obiter dicta_--one -of Lord St. Leonards in _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_,[189] and the other of -Bayley, J., in _Clementi_ v. _Walker_.[190] - -If a book is first published outside the British dominions there -will be no copyright[191] in it except under the International -Statutes.[192] Section 19 of 7 & 8 Vict. has been held to apply to -publication in all foreign countries, and not only to those with which -an international convention is in existence;[193] and it has been -further held to apply to the works of a British subject as well as to -those of a foreigner.[194] - -If a dramatic or musical work is first performed abroad before -publication as a book, although that may destroy the performing right -within the British dominions, it probably will not affect the author's -right to acquire copyright by first publication here in "book" form. -It may be said that "first published" in 7 & 8 Vict. c. 12, sec. 19, -has been held to include "first performed."[195] That decision, -however, dealt only with a question of performing right. In _Boosey_ -v. _Davidson_[196] there was first performance abroad, and it was held -that copyright was obtained here by first publication; but there was -no argument on section 19. - - -SECTION III.--AUTHOR'S NATIONALITY. - -It must still be considered doubtful whether or not the author of -a book must be a British subject, or at least resident within the -British dominions at the time of publication. This point is the -subject of a considerable body of case law under the statute of Anne; -but there has been no definite and authoritative decision under the -statute of Victoria. The question was first seriously argued in the -case of _D'Almaine_ v. _Boosey_,[197] when it was decided in the -Court of Exchequer that the work of a foreigner would be entitled -to protection if first published in England by an English assignee. -The next case was _Bentley_ v. _Foster_,[198] before Shadwell, V. C., -who decided that the foreigner himself could acquire a copyright by -first publication in this country. After that there is a series of -confused and conflicting cases,[199] terminating with the decision -of _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_[200] in the House of Lords. The plaintiff -in that case was the English assignee of the unpublished work of -a non-resident foreigner. The first publication was in England. -The judges were consulted, and of these six were in favour of the -plaintiff's right and four against it. The House of Lords, however, -were unanimous against the plaintiff's right. They decided that the -work of a non-resident foreigner could not acquire copyright in this -country. - -Lord Cranworth, L. C., said: - - "The statute (8 Anne) must be construed as referring to British - authors only. _Primâ facie_ the legislature of this country must - be taken to make laws for its own subjects exclusively, and - where, as in the statute now under consideration, an exclusive - privilege is given to a particular class at the expense of - the rest of her Majesty's subjects, the object of giving that - privilege must be taken to have been a national object and the - privileged class to be confined to a portion of that community - for the general advantage of which the enactment is made. When I - say that the legislature must _primâ facie_ be taken to legislate - only for its own subjects, I must be taken to include under the - word 'subjects' all persons who are within the Queen's dominions, - and who thus owe to her a temporary allegiance. I do not doubt - but that a foreigner resident here, and composing and publishing - a book here, is an author within the meaning of the statute: he - is within its words and spirit. I go further: I think that if a - foreigner having composed but not having published a work abroad - were to come to this country, and the week or day after his - arrival were to print and publish it here, he would be within the - protection of the statute." - -_Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_[201] then definitely decided that under the -statute of Anne a foreigner, unless at the time of publication he -was resident within the jurisdiction of the crown, could not be an -author within the meaning of the Act, and therefore neither he nor his -assigns before or after publication could acquire copyright. It would -seem to follow that the construction of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 would lead -to a similar decision. This, however, has been doubted in the House of -Lords in the case of _Routledge_ v. _Low_.[202] The actual decision -in that case went no further than holding that a foreign author who -was resident for a few days in Canada expressly for the purpose of -acquiring copyright while her book was published in London was an -author within the Act, a proposition which had not been disputed in -_Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_.[203] Their Lordships, however, discussed the -wider issue whether even temporary residence was necessary. Lord -Cairns, L. C., and Lord Westbury were of opinion that it was not. Lord -Cairns, after pointing out that _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_[204] was a -decision under the Act of Anne, said: - - "It was impossible not to see that the _ratio decidendi_ in - that case proceeded mainly, if not exclusively, on the wording - of the preamble of the statute of Anne, and on a consideration - of the general character and scope of the legislation of Great - Britain at that period. The present statute had repealed that Act, - and professed to aim at affording greater encouragement to the - production of literary works of lasting benefit to the world. And - accepting this decision of the House as to the construction of the - statute of Anne, it is, I think, impossible not to see that the - present statute would be incompatible with a policy so narrow as - that expressed in the statute of Anne."[205] - -Lords Cranworth and Chelmsford agreed that temporary residence within -the dominions was sufficient to give a foreigner the right to acquire -copyright as a British author, and therefore concurred in the judgment -of the House. They, however, differed strongly from the view that -a non-resident foreigner could be an author within the Act. Lord -Cranworth said: - - "I have no hesitation in concurring with my noble and learned - friend in thinking that the decree below was right. I find it - difficult to concur with him in the opinion that the present - statute extends its protection to all foreigners wherever they - may be resident without saying that the case of _Jefferys_ v. - _Boosey_[206] is not good law--a conclusion at which I should - be very unwilling to come as to any case decided in this House, - more especially as to one so elaborately considered as that of - _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_.[207] That case, as my noble friend has - pointed out, was decided not on the construction of the Act of 5 - & 6 Vict. c. 45, but on the statute of Queen Anne; but I own I - do not as at present advised see any difference between the two - statutes so far as relates to the subject of the residence of - foreign authors." - -_Routledge_ v. _Low_[208] is followed as to its actual decision in -_Low_ v. _Ward_;[209] but as to the rights of a non-resident foreign -author the law remains, as left by _Routledge_ v. _Low_,[210] truly -in a most unsatisfactory state. It is difficult to escape from the -conclusion, however willingly one would, that there is really no -distinction between the application of the statute of Anne and that of -Victoria, and that, therefore, a case arising on this point under the -Act of Victoria is governed by _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_,[211] a decision -which, if erroneous, was not so for want of deliberate research and -consideration. The general opinion, however, seems to be that Lords -Cairns and Westbury were right and Lords Cranworth and Chelmsford -wrong. This view is adopted by Stephen, J., in his digest.[212] Mr. -Scrutton is of the same opinion, and cites the Naturalisation Act and -the proviso that copyright is personal property.[213] Mr. Chamier does -the same.[214] It is respectfully submitted that the provisions of the -Naturalisation Act and the indisputable fact that a foreigner wherever -resident can acquire a British copyright are entirely beside the mark, -and do not in the least help one to decide whether the legislature is -to be presumed to have applied the Act of 5 & 6 Vict. to the works of -foreign authors. The decision that the work of a non-resident foreign -author will not be protected is in no way contrary to the provision -of the Naturalisation Act that an alien friend may acquire and hold -personal property in the same way in all respects as a British -subject. The logical conclusion from that provision is that an alien -friend as well as a British subject may acquire British copyright -wherever it exists; but it does not necessarily follow that British -copyright exists in the work of a foreign author, and that either an -alien friend or a British subject can acquire it. After the passing -of the Chace Act (1891) in the United States, the law officers of the -Crown in England were consulted by the American law officers, and -they advised that an American author could acquire copyright in his -work by simultaneous publication in this country and America, even -although he was not at any time resident within the British dominions. -Consequently on that advice the President of the United States -proclaimed Great Britain as one of the countries which gave by their -law reciprocal rights to American authors; and English authors are -thereby entitled to acquire copyright in the United States. It would -certainly be most unsatisfactory if the law of England were now to be -declared contrary to the advice then given by our law officers, but it -cannot be said that this should influence our Courts if their decision -on the point was called for. - - -SECTION IV.--IMMORAL WORKS. - -Profane,[215] indecent,[216] seditious,[217] and libellous[218] books -will not be protected. Neither will those which are a fraud upon the -public.[219] For instance, a book published as translated from the -German of Sturm, which was entirely untrue and induced purchasers -to buy it, was refused protection.[220] _Quære_ whether a piratical -book would be protected in so far as it was original. Probably it -would.[221] If a book is not wholly mischievous, but only in part, -it will probably be protected except as to that part;[222] and if -a book is subsequently published purged of its immoral matter or -fraudulent nature it would be protected.[223] If an action is brought -in respect of a mischievous publication the practice of the Court is -to dismiss the action without costs.[224] In one case[225] Mathew, -J., would not take cognisance of immorality _mero motu_, and when it -was not pleaded by the defendant he gave the plaintiff his remedy. -Notwithstanding this, there can be no doubt that the Court may refuse -to interfere even when both parties are willing to waive the question -of immorality. The Court cannot be compelled to sit to take an account -between public malefactors. - - -SECTION V.--REGISTRATION. - -=Before Action.=--Before an owner of copyright sues for infringement -his book must be registered at Stationers' Hall.[226] The omission -to register does not affect the copyright in a book, but it is a -condition precedent to the right to sue in respect of the infringement -thereof.[227] At one time it was thought that registration was only -a condition precedent to an action for the particular remedies given -by the statute, and that whether registration was effected or not the -common law right of action for damages lay.[228] This, however, is -not law. Registration is a condition precedent to any right of action -for infringement of copyright. If an action is brought without proper -registration, that action must fail; but a correct entry may then be -made and a fresh action commenced.[229] - -No registration is necessary to maintain an action for the -infringement of performing rights in a book which is a dramatic or -musical work.[230] - -Registration need not be made before infringement: it may be effected -at any time before the writ is issued.[231] In one case it was held -a good registration when entry was made on the same day, but a few -hours before the issue of the writ.[232] In _Hole_ v. _Bradbury_,[233] -Fry, J., held that registration after infringement did not entitle -the plaintiff to delivery up of copies for his own use under the 23rd -section of the Act of 1842, but that under its general jurisdiction -the Court had power to order delivery up for destruction. In _Isaacs_ -v. _Fiddemann_,[234] Jessel, M. R., thought that even although -infringement was before registration the plaintiff was entitled to -have delivery up for his own benefit, and that the 23rd section -applied to such a case. Which is the correct view it is difficult to -say. The argument of Fry, J., in support of his view is elaborate and -appears sound, whereas Jessel, M. R., seems to have gone more on the -ground of convenience. - -Registration must be effected after the publication of the book.[235] -In several cases an attempt has been made to secure a monopoly -in a title by registration before the book was published or even -written.[236] Such registration is entirely inoperative to secure a -monopoly in the title or the right to sue in respect of the copyright -in the book when published. Registration does not give the plaintiff -any right (except perhaps as to delivery of copies) which he would not -equally have had without registration.[237] All registration does is -to perfect the right and give a title to sue on it. - -It must be remembered that it is the book which is to be registered -and not the copyright. It is common but erroneous to talk of -"registering copyright." The distinction was pointed out in _Trade -Auxiliary_ v. _Middlesborough_.[238] The three several proprietors of -three periodicals had employed and paid a contributor under section 18 -on the terms that the matter contributed should belong to these three -proprietors. The matter appeared in each of the three newspapers and -each registered his own newspaper in his own name. It was argued that -the registration was bad, since they should have been registered as -joint proprietors, but the Court of Appeal held that the registration -was good, since each had registered his "book," and section 19 was -literally complied with. - -A newspaper is a sheet of letterpress within the Act and must -be registered.[239] In one case[240] Malins, V. C., protected a -newspaper which was not registered, but that case has been expressly -overruled[241] and is clearly unsound. No registration is necessary -other than that required by the Act of 1842. In _Cate_ v. _Devon_[242] -it was contended that a newspaper would not be protected unless it had -been registered under the Newspaper Libel Act, 1881. This contention -was held erroneous, and registration under the Act of 1842 was alone -required. Similarly it is not a good defence to an action for -infringement that the publisher's name and address is not printed on -the first or last page of a book as required by 2 & 3 Vict. c. 12.[243] - -=The Requisite Entry.=--Registration is made in the Book of Registry -which the Act enacts[244] shall be kept at the Hall of the Stationers' -Company. The fee for registration is five shillings. The Book of -Registry must at all convenient times be open to the inspection of -any person on payment of one shilling for every entry searched for or -inspected. This, however, does not entitle any one to make a copy of -an entry; but any one may demand a certified copy of an entry from the -keeper of the Registry on payment of five shillings. - -The proprietor of the copyright must register in the Book of -Registry:[245] - - i. The title. - ii. The time of first publication. - iii. The name and place of abode of the publisher. - iv. The name and place of abode of the proprietor. - -In the case of an encyclopædia, review, magazine, periodical work, or -other work published in a series of books or parts, the publisher must -register:[246] - - i. The title. - ii. The time of first publication of the first part. - iii. The name and place of abode of the proprietor. - iv. The name and place of abode of the publisher if - different from the proprietor. - -_The Actual Title._--This must be registered: a description of the -book will not be sufficient, even although accurate. Thus in _Harris_ -v. _Smart_[247] the plaintiffs' book was intituled "Illustrated -Catalogue and Price List," and they registered it as "Illustrated Book -of Shop-fittings." The Court of Appeal, reversing the decision of -Mathew and Grantham, JJ., held that the objection to the registration -was fatal. When there is a clear and distinct title, that title they -held must be registered. It might be different if a book had no title; -perhaps such a book could not be registered at all; but probably a -description of the book, stating that it had no title, would be -sufficient.[248] In _Collingridge_ v. _Emmott_[249] the plaintiff's -newspaper was intituled "Warehousemen and Drapers' Trade Journal and -Review of the Textile Fabric Manufacturers"; but it was registered as -"Warehousemen and Drapers' Trade Journal: Failures and Arrangements." -Kay, J., thought that the discrepancy was fatal to the registration. - -It has been questioned whether in the case of a volume, a considerable -part of which, being old matter, is not entitled to copyright, and -which is published under one comprehensive title, there must not be -some indication on the book itself or on the register that the owner -does not claim copyright in the whole work. The point has never been -definitely decided. It has been held that one who adapts new words -and music to an old air and describes himself proprietor of the whole -composition is entitled to protection;[250] but the question raised in -these cases was whether the author was entitled to copyright at all -unless he could show that the whole was original. It should always be -remembered in questions of this kind that the purpose of registration -is not, as has frequently been suggested in argument, to notify to an -intending copyist what he may copy and what he may not. In _Cate_ v. -_Devon_[251] the plaintiffs had published a "Commercial Compendium," -containing lists of bankruptcies and bills of sale. They reprinted -several copies of it under another title, viz. "The London Association -for the Protection of Trade," and it was issued "privately and -confidentially" to that association. The defendants copied matter from -the latter issue and pleaded that it was unregistered, and therefore -that they were entitled to copy it. North, J., held that the act of -the defendants was an infringement of copyright in the "Commercial -Compendium," which was registered under that title. In his judgment he -said: - - "It is not intended that there should always be complete - registration of the publication in which there is copyright in - order that persons may know what they may legitimately copy - and what they cannot copy. The Act itself contains provisions - which make that clear. It is well known that registration is - only necessary as a condition precedent to suing, and the almost - universal practice on the part of large publishers notoriously - is that they do not register until just on the eve of taking - some proceeding. Then they take care to register their copyright - and sue upon it. I think, therefore, that the contention that - the defendants have not been warned by registration of the - title under which the document appears is one which cannot be - entertained."[252] - -_The Time of First Publication._--This must be exactly entered to -the day of the month. In _Low_ v. _Routledge_[253] an entry of "23rd -May 1864" was held to be bad when the actual publication was on the -25th of May 1864.[254] Under the International Copyright Act, 1844, -an entry of the year only was held to be fatal,[255] and under the -Copyright Act of 1842 it has been held in two cases that an entry -of the month only is bad.[256] When a subsequent edition of a book -is published, in so far as it is a reprint of the first edition, it -will not be protected unless the first edition and the date of the -first publication thereof is entered on the register;[257] in so -far as it consists of new matter there must be an entry bearing the -date of the publication of the edition in which such new matter was -first published;[258] but the previous editions and the date of their -respective publications do not require to be entered in order to -protect the new matter,[259] and subsequent editions do not require -to be entered in order to protect old matter.[260] Where a book has -been revised and altered as each new edition has come out, every -edition should be entered separately in the register, with the date -of the publication of such edition. When a story, or article, or -serial story, or a series of articles is published in a magazine or -other periodical, the proprietor of the magazine need only register -the first number of the magazine and the date of the publication -thereof in order to entitle him to sue.[261] If, however, the action -is at the instance of the author of a contribution to a collective -work against third parties, the proper registration would be of the -story or article only with the date of the first publication in the -collective work of such story or article, or if serial, of the first -part thereof.[262] Against the proprietor, for publishing separately -without permission, the author does not require to be registered, as -the right sued on is not one of copyright but presumably of implied -contract.[263] If the owner of the periodical has acquired the entire -copyright in a story or article, he can sue on a registration either -of the first number of the magazine or of the first part of the story -or article.[264] - -_The Name and Place of Abode of the Publisher._--The publisher to -be entered is the first publisher of the book.[265] No subsequent -publisher, unless of a revised edition, need be entered on the -register.[266] If the publishers are a firm it is sufficient to enter -their firm name, such as _Newby & Co._; the individual names of the -members of the firm need not be entered.[267] A publisher's ordinary -place of business describes sufficiently his "place of abode": his -private residential address need not be entered.[268] - -_The Name and Place of Abode of the Proprietor._--The proprietor to -be entered is the proprietor at the time of registration, and it is -unnecessary to trace his title from the first proprietor.[269] The -joinder of the unregistered proprietor as co-plaintiff with a person -who has been erroneously registered, or who, being rightly registered, -is no longer proprietor, will not render an action for infringement of -copyright maintainable.[270] It is not sufficient to register a mere -agent or nominee of the proprietor.[271] The registered proprietor, -however, if legal owner, may sue as trustee for the equitable owner -of the copyright.[272] If the plaintiff in an action is the assignee -of a former proprietor already registered, either the assignment -must have been by entry in the register, or the assignment, if made -otherwise, must be entered. In every case the plaintiff, either as -proprietor at the date of registration or as his assignee, must -appear on the face of the register.[273] It is probably not necessary -to register every mesne assignment from the proprietor originally -registered to the plaintiff.[274] When the original proprietor is -registered, and the assignee from him is subsequently registered, it -is necessary that both entries should be correct, in order to entitle -the assignee to sue.[275] If the proprietor has no fixed abode in the -United Kingdom, an address in the United Kingdom through which he -can be conveniently communicated with will probably be a sufficient -compliance with the statute.[276] - -If there is an error in any of the particulars required to be entered -in the register it is fatal to the success of an action, even although -caused by neglect or carelessness on the part of one of the officials -at Stationers' Hall.[277] If the necessary particulars are entered it -is immaterial that superfluous matter is also entered.[278] - -=Certificate of Registration.=--The officer appointed by the -Stationers' Company for the purposes of registration under the -Copyright Acts must, whenever reasonably required, give a copy of any -entry in the Book of Registry, certified under his hand and impressed -with the stamp of the Stationers' Company, to any person on payment -of five shillings, and such copies are to be received in evidence -in all Courts, and are _primâ facie_ proof of the proprietorship or -assignment of copyright or licence, but subject to be rebutted by -other evidence.[279] Registration does not, however, give a title -against the whole world except the true owner.[280] - -=False Entries.=--If any person wilfully makes or causes to be made -any false entry in the Registry Book of the Stationers' Company, or -wilfully produces in evidence any paper falsely purporting to be a -copy of any entry in such book, he will be guilty of an indictable -misdemeanour.[281] - -=Rectification of Register.=--If any person "deems himself aggrieved" -by any entry in the Registry Book, he may apply by motion to the -King's Bench Division for an order that such entry may be expunged -or varied.[282] An order to expunge will not be made at the trial -of an action:[283] it must be applied for by motion in accordance -with section 14, unless, perhaps, it is specifically claimed in the -statement of claim in the action. There is probably no appeal from an -order to expunge.[284] If a wrong entry has been made in the Book of -Registry, the proprietor of the copyright in the book so erroneously -entered is, even although he has by mistake made the wrong entry -himself, a person aggrieved within the meaning of the statute, and -can apply to the Court for an order to vary such entry.[285] An order -to expunge or vary will not be made without definite proof that the -existing entry is erroneous, and that the proposed entry in lieu -thereof is correct.[286] By the words "deem himself aggrieved" the -legislature did not mean that any person who said he was aggrieved -could apply: the applicant must show to the Court that he has a right -to consider himself aggrieved.[287] When the copyright in a book is in -dispute either party claiming the right is a party aggrieved.[288] If -a non-copyright book is entered on the register, probably any one who -wished to copy it would be a party aggrieved;[289] but it is not open -to any one to make application to the Court on the ground of technical -flaws in a registration.[290] The applicant, unless he claims the -copyright, must be able to show a substantial defect on the merits of -the registered proprietor's title.[291] - -When once an entry on the register has been struck out, the Court has -probably no power to restore it.[292] - - -SECTION VI.--DELIVERY OF COPIES TO LIBRARIES. - -Copies of all books first published in the United Kingdom after 1842 -must be delivered to the undermentioned libraries by the publisher. In -default the respective librarians may recover from the publisher:[293] - - i. The value of the copy which ought to have been delivered. - ii. A sum not exceeding £5. - iii. Solicitor and client costs. - -The proceedings may either be summary by way of conviction before -two Justices of the Peace in the county or place where the publisher -making default resides, or by action in any Court of Record in the -United Kingdom.[294] - -The following copies are to be delivered: - - I. _To the British Museum_:[295] - - One of the best copies published (complete with maps and prints) of - - i. Every book first published. - ii. Every subsequent edition of a book, unless - (_a_) it contains no additions or alterations, and - (_b_) some preceding edition has been delivered: - - Within one calendar month after publication or offering for sale in - London. - - Within three calendar months after publication or offering for sale - elsewhere in the United Kingdom. - - The copy must be delivered between 10 A. M. and 4 P. M. on any day - except Sunday, Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and Christmas Day.[296] - - The officer of the Museum appointed to receive these copies is - required to give a receipt in writing.[297] - - II. _To each of the following Libraries_,[298] _or to Stationers' Hall - for their use_: - - The Bodleian Library at Oxford. - The Public Library at Cambridge. - The Library of the Faculty of Advocates at Edinburgh. - The Library of Trinity College at Dublin. - - One copy of those copies of which the largest number is printed for - sale, and in the like condition of - - i. Every book first published. - ii. Every subsequent edition of a book, unless - (_a_) it contains no alterations or additions. - - Within one month after demand. - - Provided that within twelve months after publication demand has been - made to the publishers under the hand of the officer of the Company - of Stationers or other person authorised thereto by the respective - libraries. - - The officer at Stationers' Hall and librarians of the several - libraries are required to give a receipt in writing when a copy of a - book is delivered to them. - -The clauses as to delivery of copies are to be considered as being -strictly penal. In _The British Museum_ v. _Payne_,[299] under the -similar provisions in 54 Geo. III. c. 156, it was held that when a -book was published in parts, a single part was not demandable. The -Court refused to consider the question when, if ever, the complete -book would be demandable. - -It will be noticed that neither the copyright nor the right to sue -is affected by non-delivery of these copies. The only consequence of -omission to do so is a penalty on the publisher. - -The right of the various bodies to delivery of a copy applies to -all books published within the United Kingdom and not only to those -entered at Stationers' Hall.[300] - - -SECTION VII.--DURATION OF PROTECTION. - -Protection dates from first publication. - -_Generally._--The period of protection is for the natural life of the -author and for seven years after his death, or for forty-two years -from the date of publication, whichever period shall be longer.[301] - -_Posthumous Works_ are protected for forty-two years from the date of -publication.[302] - -_Encyclopædias_ are protected for the life of the proprietor and seven -years (by 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, sec. 18, the proprietor of a collective -work enjoys the same rights as if he were the actual author thereof), -or for forty-two years from the date of publication, whichever period -shall be the longer.[303] - -_Reviews_, _Magazines_, _and other periodical works of a like -nature_[304] have two separate copyrights, viz.: - - i. The proprietor's copyright in the publication, as a whole, - for his life and seven years, or forty-two years from first - publication. - ii. The contributor's copyright in his separate contribution as a - separate work, beginning twenty-eight years after publication of - the collective work, or on separate publication, if such should by - agreement take place within the twenty-eight years, and lasting - for his life and seven years, or forty-two years from first - publication in the collective work. - -_New Editions._[305]--As to each edition, the copyright runs from the -date of publication thereof, in so far as the matter therein is then -first published. - -_Joint Works._--Although there is no statutory provision, they are -probably protected for the life of the surviving author and seven -years, or for forty-two years from first publication.[306] - - -SECTION VIII.--COPYRIGHT IN LECTURES. - -There is no lecturing right, _i. e._ no exclusive statutory right to -deliver a lecture in public. The only Act applying to lectures is 5 & -6 Will. IV. c. 65, which, under pain of penalties, prohibits printing -or publishing, or knowingly selling lectures, which at the time of -delivery have not been published in book form, without leave of the -author thereof, or of the person to whom the author thereof has sold -or otherwise conveyed the same. The remedy is action in the High Court -for: (i) Forfeiture of copies. (ii) One penny per copy; half to the -Crown and half to informer. A condition precedent of protection under -this Act is the giving of notice in writing to two justices living -within five miles from the place where such lecture or lectures are -delivered, two days at least before delivering the same. The Act has -fallen into entire desuetude, partly, no doubt, on account of this -somewhat troublesome stipulation as to notice, but principally because -a lecturer has, in fact, full protection at common law, if, as is -usually the case, he can make out an implied contract between himself -and his audience that the delivery of the lecture is for purposes -of instruction only, and that those present are entitled to make no -other use of it whatsoever.[307] His remedy at common law will be for -damages and injunction. Of course he cannot sue for penalties, unless -he has brought himself within the Act. - -The Lectures Act does not apply so as to protect any lecture or -lectures delivered in any university, or public school or college, -or on any public foundation, or by any individual in virtue of, -or according to, any gift, endowment, or foundation.[308] The law -relating to such lectures is declared to be the same as if the -Lectures Act had not been passed. The result of this proviso is that -these special kinds of lectures are nearly always protected at common -law by implied contract in the same way as other lectures.[309] - - - - -CHAPTER III - -THE OWNER OF THE COPYRIGHT IN BOOKS - - -SECTION I.--THE CROWN. - -When the Crown ceased to have the complete control which it originally -exercised over the printing-press, it still claimed to retain, as -its prerogative, the exclusive right of printing such works as -it considered its own peculiar property.[310] These included the -authorised translation of the Bible, the Common Prayer Book, Acts of -Parliament[311] and Proclamations,[312] Latin Grammars and Year Books. -Law books, such as "Rolle's Abridgment," and reports collected by the -judges were also claimed by the Crown on the ground that the laws -were the King's Laws. Classical books, almanacs and the like, were -claimed by the Crown as _bona nullius_ and things derelict. As regards -those books which the Crown claimed as its own property, it granted -licences and patents. The Stationers' Company, the King's printers, -the Universities, and from time to time various individuals received -grants of authority to print such works. - -Many of the claims, for instance, to almanacs, law reports, Latin -grammars, have for long been abandoned. The patentees of the Crown, -however, still claim a prerogative copyright in-- - - 1. The Authorised English Translation of the Bible.[313] - 2. The Book of Common Prayer.[314] - -The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and the King's printers have -each the right to print the Bible and the Prayer Book. - -No objection has ever been taken on behalf of the Crown or her -patentees to the printing of the Bible with notes, and this is in -practice constantly done without authority. The notes, however, must -be substantial and not merely illusory.[315] - -In 1887 the Treasury published a Minute[316] in which the claims of -the Crown to the exclusive right of publishing Government publications -are set out. The Minute was published in the _London Gazette_. - -The following publications are declared to be free from restriction of -any kind, and any person may therefore publish them with or without -notes: - - 1. Reports of Select Committees of the Two Houses of Parliament, - or of Royal Commissions. - 2. Papers required by Statute to be laid before Parliament, _e. g._ - Orders in Council, Rules made by Government Departments, Accounts, - Reports of Government Inspectors. - 3. Papers laid before Parliament by Command, e. g. Treaties, - Diplomatic Correspondence, Reports from Consuls and Secretaries of - Legation, Reports of Inquiries into Explosions or Accidents, and - other Special Reports made to Government Departments. - 4. Acts of Parliament. - 5. Official books, _e. g._ King's Regulations for the Army or Navy. - -In the following works the Government claims to retain the -copyright: - - 1. Literary or quasi-literary works, _e. g._ the Reports of the - _Challenger_ Expedition, the Rolls Publications, the State Trials, - the "Board of Trade Journal." - 2. Charts and Ordnance Maps. - -The ancient prerogative claimed by the Crown was a perpetual -copyright. The Crown is not mentioned in the Copyright Act, and it is -open to doubt whether it could enforce a perpetual copyright in works -compiled by its servants, or whether it could only claim the term of -copyright granted by the Copyright Act. - - -SECTION II.--THE UNIVERSITIES. - -By an Act of George III.[317] provision is made for the vesting of -copyrights in perpetuity in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, -the Scottish Universities and the Colleges of Eton, Westminster, and -Winchester. These privileges were obtained in consequence of the -decision in _Donaldson_ v. _Beckett_[318] in the House of Lords to the -effect that there was no perpetual copyright. - -Perpetual Copyright under the Universities' Act attaches to those -books which are "bequeathed or otherwise given" to one of the -Universities or Colleges. A work such as The Revised Version of the -Bible, which was compiled under the direction and at the expense of -the two Universities, will probably not have perpetual copyright under -the Act since it is neither bequeathed nor given. The same would apply -to copyrights purchased by a university or college. - -The book in which University privilege is claimed must be registered -within two months after the time when the bequest or gift of the -copyright comes to the knowledge of the Vice-Chancellor of the -University or head of the college, as the case may be. - -The remedy against unauthorised printing or importing or knowingly -selling, publishing, or exposing for sale any book in which there is -University copyright is an action in the High Court for-- - - (_a_) Forfeiture for destruction. - - (_b_) One penny for every sheet found in the custody of the - infringer, half to go to the Crown and half to the informer. - -The perpetual privilege granted by the Act only subsists so long -as the book is printed only within the respective Universities or -Colleges, and for their sole benefit and advantage. This does not -debar them from selling the copyright, but if sold it will only -subsist for the term granted to authors by the Copyright Act, 1842. - -_Quære_ if some of Jowett's works, for instance, were printed in -the United States in order to acquire American copyright, whether -that would destroy the perpetual copyright by reason of copies being -printed outside the University. - - -SECTION III.--THE AUTHOR. - -Copyright in every book published in the lifetime of the author -thereof "shall be the property of such author and his assigns."[319] -Copyright therefore in the first instance ordinarily vests in the -author. The word author is not defined in the Act, and from time -to time difficult questions have arisen as to who is the author of -a particular book within the meaning of the Act. Difficulties have -generally arisen from the fact that two or more people have been -engaged in the production of a book. The rule appears to be that, if -the literary matter is composed by those who make the manuscript,[320] -the author is the man from whom emanates the general conception and -design, and that although much of the detail may have been the work of -subordinate brains and hands, he is the author of the entirety, and -may sue for any infringement of it. Thus in _Scott_ v. _Stanford_,[321] -where the plaintiff compiled and published periodically statistical -returns of the London coal market, Page Wood, V. C., in giving -judgment, said that it appeared to him quite immaterial whether the -plaintiff had been assisted in the compilation by his own clerks or -by those of the Corporation. In _Barfield_ v. _Nicholson_[322] a case -under the statute of Anne, Leach, V. C., said that he was of opinion -that under the statute the one who formed the plan and embarked on -the speculation of a work, and employed various persons to compose -different parts of it adapted to their own peculiar acquirements, was -the author and proprietor of the work, if not within the literal -expression, at least within the equitable meaning of the statute of -Anne. In _Hatton_ v. _Kean_[323] the defendant had arranged certain -of Shakespeare's plays with adjuncts of scenery, music, dancing, &c., -and employed artists and authors to aid him in carrying his design -into effect; amongst others, the plaintiff was employed to compose -and arrange the orchestral accompaniments. The Court of Common Pleas -held that the defendant was the author of the entire production. Erle, -C. J., said: - - "I am of opinion that the music so composed by the direction - and under the superintendence of the defendant, and as part of - the general plan of the spectacle, must, as between him and - the plaintiff, become the property of the defendant, and that - consequently the defendant has violated no right of the plaintiff - in causing it to be represented in the manner alleged."[324] - -In _Wallerstein_ v. _Herbert_,[325] where the facts were similar to -those in _Hatton_ v. _Kean_,[326] that case was approved by the Court -of Queen's Bench. Cockburn, C. J., said: - - "Looking at the nature of this composition, it is clear that it - became a part and parcel of the drama, and was not an independent - composition." - -These decisions seem equally applicable to books which are not -dramatic compositions, but _quære_ whether _Hatton_ v. _Kean_[327] did -not go too far. It seems a strange thing to say that the arranger of -a play becomes the author of, _inter alia_, the musical accompaniment -of which, perhaps, he could not have composed a single bar. Would, for -instance, the author of a book be also the author of illustrations -which he had procured another to draw for him? Kekewich, J., in -_Petty_ v. _Taylor_, thought not.[328] - -The mere suggestion of a subject or idea which is then entirely -designed and executed by another does not constitute the originator -of the idea an author, even although the actual composer is his -employee.[329] In _Shepherd_ v. _Conquest_[330] the plaintiffs, -proprietors of a theatre, employed a "stock author" who, on payment -of a weekly salary and travelling expenses, composed plays for them. -Under this employment the author composed "Old Joe and Young Joe," a -dramatic piece, which he handed over to the plaintiffs, and which was -produced by them at their theatre. There was no contract or assignment -in writing, but there was an oral understanding that the plaintiffs -should have the sole right of representing the piece in London. It was -held in the Court of Common Pleas that the plaintiffs had acquired -no title under the Dramatic Copyright Act, 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15, -by reason of which they could sue an infringement of the performing -right.[331] Jervis, C. J., delivered the judgment of the Court: - - "We do not think it necessary in the present case to express any - opinion whether, under any circumstances, the copyright in a - literary work or the right of representation can become vested - _ab initio_ in an employer other than the person who has actually - composed or adapted a literary work. It is enough to say in the - present case that no such effect can be produced when the employer - merely suggests the subject, and has no share in the design or - execution of the work. It appears to us an abuse of terms to say - that in such a case the employer is the author of a work to which - his mind has not contributed an idea." - -There may be joint authorship of a book. To constitute joint -authorship the work must be produced by joint labour in prosecution -of a preconceived joint design. In _Levy_ v. _Rutley_[332] A wrote -a play, to which subsequently B added a scene, and made a few -alterations and additions in other parts of the piece. It was held -that there was not joint authorship. Byles, J., said: - - "If the piece had been originally written by A and B jointly in - prosecution of a preconcerted joint design, the two might have - been said to be the co-authors of the whole play, notwithstanding - that different portions were respectively the sole productions of - either." - -And Keating, J., said: - - "I entirely agree with my brother Byles that though it may not be - necessary that each should contribute the same amount of labour, - there must be a joint labouring in furtherance of a common design." - -_Quære_ whether co-authors are joint owners with the right of -survivorship. In _Marzials_ v. _Gibbons_[333] it was suggested -that they were, but see the decisions where co-assignees are -held to be owners in common, or part owners without the right of -survivorship.[334] _Quære_ also whether each co-author, as is the -case with each co-assignee,[335] is entitled to sue in respect of an -invasion without the concurrence of the other co-author or co-authors. - -Until _Walter_ v. _Lane_[336] was decided in the House of Lords, -it was a prevalent opinion that the author must be he who actually -designs and by himself or through others composes the literary matter -contained in the book. That case, however, demonstrates that the -author is the first producer of literary matter in "book" form, _i. e._ -in some permanent form from which it can be copied by the printer's -compositor, usually, but not necessarily, manuscript. As a rule -such person is also the composer of the literary matter contained -in the book, but this is not a necessary attribute of the character -of author. In _Walter_ v. _Lane_[337] Lord Rosebery had delivered -without reserve of any kind certain public speeches. They were -delivered orally, not having been previously committed to writing. -On the various occasions when they were delivered reporters from the -_Times_ were present, and they took down the speeches verbatim. From -these reports they were transcribed into long hand, and published -in the _Times_. Mr. Lane, a publisher, took these speeches from the -columns of the _Times_, and without any authority from the proprietors -thereof, published them in a volume entitled "Appreciations and -Addresses, by Lord Rosebery." In this action at the instance of the -proprietors of the _Times_ for the infringement of the copyright in -their reports, it was finally held in the House of Lords, firstly, -that as these reports contained literary matter published for the -first time in "book" form, they were the subject of copyright, and -secondly, that the reporters were the authors within the meaning of -the Act, since they first reduced the literary matter orally delivered -by Lord Rosebery to "book" form. - - -SECTION IV.--THE EMPLOYER. - -=Under Section 18.=--An employer is _ab initio_ entitled to the -copyright when he employs an author within the meaning of and subject -to the conditions imposed by section 18. Section 18[338] enacts that-- - - "When any publisher or other person shall before or at the time - of the passing of the Act have projected, conducted, and carried - on, or shall hereafter project, conduct, and carry on, or be the - proprietor of any encyclopædia, review, magazine, periodical work, - or work published in a series of books or parts, or any book - whatsoever, and shall have employed or shall employ any persons - to compose the same in any volumes, parts, essays, articles, or - portions thereof for publication in or as part of the same, and - such works, volumes, parts, essays, articles, or portions, shall - have been or shall hereafter be composed under such employment - on the terms that the copyright therein shall belong to such - proprietor, projector, publisher, or conductor, and paid for by - such proprietor, projector, publisher, or conductor, the copyright - in every such encyclopædia, review, magazine, periodical work, and - work published in a series of books or parts, and every volume, - part, essay, article, and portion so composed and paid for shall - be the property of such proprietor, projector, publisher, or - other conductor, who shall enjoy the same rights as if he were - the actual author thereof, and shall have such term of copyright - therein as is given to the authors of books by this Act; except - only that in the case of essays, articles, or portions forming - part of and first published in reviews, magazines, and other - periodical works of a like nature, after the term of twenty-eight - years from the first publication thereof respectively, the right - of publishing the same in a separate form shall revert to the - author for the remainder of the term given by this Act: provided - always that during the term of twenty-eight years the said - proprietor shall not publish any such essay, article, or portion - separately or singly without the consent previously obtained of - the author thereof or his assigns: provided also that nothing - herein contained shall alter or affect the right of any person - who shall have been or who shall be so employed as aforesaid to - publish any such his composition in a separate form, who by any - contract, express or implied, may have reserved or may hereafter - reserve to himself such right; but every author reserving, - retaining, or having such right, shall be entitled to the - copyright in such composition when published in a separate form, - according to this Act, without prejudice to the right of such - proprietor, projector, publisher, or conductor, as aforesaid." - -The nature of a proprietor's rights in the articles contributed to -his periodical under section 18 is well summarised by Chitty, J., as -follows: - - "This 18th section when fairly examined comes to this: the author - of a literary work is the proprietor of the copyright under - the general sections of the Act. If it is unpublished matter, - probably the better term is to say that his right is to prevent - any one else from publishing. If it is published matter, then - his right is a true copyright, and it is to prevent anybody else - from multiplying copies, and that right is vested in him.... Then - comes this 18th section, the short effect of which is to transfer - for a limited period a portion of the copyright to the proprietor - of the periodical for whom the article has been composed; it - being a condition that there shall not only be a composition of - the article on the terms that it shall belong to the proprietor - or publisher, but also that the sum agreed to be paid has been - paid."[339] - -_Scope of Section._--In some of the earlier cases it seems to be -suggested that section 18 applies only to works of a periodical -nature.[340] But this gives no meaning to the words "or any book -whatsoever," which surely could not be construed as including only -books _ejusdem generis_ as periodicals. The first part of the section -appears to include all books if produced under the conditions as to -employment and payment there enacted.[341] The judgment in _Shepherd_ -v. _Conquest_[342] suggests that in the opinion of the Court in that -case section 18 did not apply when the performing right in a play was -claimed by the proprietors of a theatre, the play having been produced -by a "stock author" in their employment. It is difficult to see why -section 18 should not be equally applicable to the performing right as -to the copyright. Section 20 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 provides that-- - - "The provisions hereinbefore enacted in respect of the property - of such copyright and of registering the same shall apply to - the liberty of representing or performing any dramatic piece - or musical composition as if the same were herein expressly - re-enacted and applied thereto, save and except that the first - public representation or performance of any dramatic piece or - musical composition shall be deemed equivalent in the construction - of this Act to the first publication of any book." - -_Under such Employment._--The author must be "employed" and the work -must be composed "under such employment." It appears therefore that a -work or part of a work would not come within this 18th section unless -actually executed in the course of the author's employment by the -proprietor. In other words, there must be antecedent employment.[343] -A contribution voluntarily sent to a magazine would not, even although -accepted and paid for on the terms that the copyright should belong -to the proprietors, come under the provisions of section 18. It is -submitted that it would become the sole property of the proprietor of -the magazine for all purposes without any reservation of the right of -separate publication to the author.[344] - -If A employs B, who in his turn employs C, the copyright will vest in -A if B acted as a mere agent for A. Thus in _Stubbs_ v. _Howard_,[345] -Stubbs employed the Mercantile Press to obtain the necessary -information for their Gazette, and the Mercantile Press employed P. to -collect and compile. It was held that the copyright vested _ab initio_ -in Stubbs under section 18. But if A employs and pays B to do certain -literary work, and B, of his own authority, employs and pays C, D, and -E to do certain portions of it, it is doubtful whether the copyright -in these portions will vest in A under section 18. The author has been -neither employed nor paid by the proprietor of the work since B acted -not as an agent for him, but as an independent contractor.[346] The -operation of section 18 seems to be exhausted in the first employment. - -"_On the terms that the copyright therein shall belong to such -proprietor._"--The terms may be implied from the nature of the -employment and the circumstances under which the work is composed. -In _Sweet_ v. _Benning_[347] various members of the bar had furnished -reports of cases to the plaintiffs, the proprietors of the _Jurist_. -The reporters selected what cases they thought fit to report and were -paid for their work. The arrangements were entirely oral, and nothing -seems to have been said about copyright. The Court of Common Pleas -held that the proprietors of the _Jurist_ became the owners of the -copyright under the 18th section. Maule, J., in support of his opinion -said: - - "When a man employs another to write an article or to do anything - else for him, unless there is something in the surrounding - circumstances or in the course of dealing between the parties to - require a different construction, in the absence of a special - agreement to the contrary, it is to be understood that the writing - or other thing is produced upon the terms that the copyright - therein shall belong to the employer." - -In _Trade Auxiliary_ v. _Middlesborough_[348] the proprietors of -_Stubbs' Weekly Gazette_ and two other weekly papers jointly employed -on salary two men to examine the official records and extract the -particulars of bills of sale and deeds of arrangement registered in -accordance with the Acts. The information so obtained was published in -the weekly papers. It was held that the proprietors of the respective -papers became owners of the copyright under section 18. In _Lamb_ -v. _Evans_[349] the plaintiff employed and paid several persons in -canvassing for advertisements and arranging them under appropriate -headings in a Trades Directory. Lindley, L. J., in giving judgment, -said he thought that-- - - "The burthen of proof was on the plaintiff to show that the - headings were composed upon the terms that the copyright therein - should belong to him; but the statute does not say anything about - the kind of evidence which is to be adduced for the purpose of - proving that an article has been composed on these terms.... - If there is no express agreement the question is, what is the - inference to be drawn from the circumstances of the case. In - drawing the inference regard must be had to the nature of - the articles which are here merely the headings to groups of - advertisements with translations, and the view expressed by Mr. - Justice Maule in _Sweet_ v. _Benning_[350] may be very safely - acted upon, viz. that _primâ facie_ at all events you will - infer, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, from the fact - of employment and payment that one of the terms was that the - copyright should belong to the employer. That is not a necessary - inference; but in a case of this sort, where any other inference - would be unbusinesslike, I should not hesitate myself to draw that - inference." - -Bowen, L. J., in the same case, says: - - "From where are you to collect the terms? You may collect them - from what passed between the parties, that is to say between the - plaintiff and the persons whom he employed, but you may also - collect them from the nature of the business itself, and it seems - to me to be impossible as a matter of business to suppose that - these headings were composed and furnished to the plaintiff upon - any other terms than that he was to have the copyright in them, - because otherwise those who composed them having furnished them to - the plaintiff might themselves have published them and defeated - his object." - -On the other hand in _Walter_ v. _Howe_,[351] Jessel, M. R., held -that the _Times_ could not sue in respect of a biography of Lord -Beaconsfield which had appeared in their columns. There was evidence -that the author had been paid for his literary services, but there -was apparently no evidence as to whether he had been "employed" "on -the terms that the copyright should belong" to the plaintiff. Notice -that in this case no antecedent employment whatsoever is shown. In -_Johnson_ v. _Newnes_[352] a series of stories were contributed to -the _Weekly Dispatch_ under an arrangement between the proprietor and -the author. The author was not on the permanent staff of the _Weekly -Dispatch_. He was paid by the proprietors for his contributions, the -arrangement being that the author should have the right of separately -publishing the stories, provided such separate publication did not -take place until after all the stories had appeared in the _Weekly -Dispatch_. In an action by the author against an infringer, Romer, -J., in giving judgment for the plaintiff, said that he had come to -the conclusion that although the plaintiff was paid he was not paid -on the terms that the copyright in the stories should belong to the -proprietors of the journal. The author had therefore not parted with -the copyright and was the proper plaintiff.[353] - -In _Aflalo_ v. _Lawrence_[354] the defendants published a work called -"The Encyclopædia of Sport." A, one of the plaintiffs, agreed with the -defendants that he would edit the work. He was to receive £500 for -his services, and to write without further remuneration 7000 words -of special articles. He was entitled to pursue his literary work in -so far as it did not interfere with the performance of his duties. A -contributed an article to the encyclopædia under this agreement. A, -by the request of the defendants, procured C, the other plaintiff, -to write certain articles for the encyclopædia at the rate of £2 per -thousand words. The articles of both plaintiffs were published in -the encyclopædia. Joyce, J., held that the contributions of neither -plaintiff came within section 18, since there was nothing to show that -they were contributed on the terms that the copyright therein should -belong to the defendants. The defendants were therefore not entitled -to publish the plaintiff's articles in any other form than as part -of the encyclopædia. In view of the earlier authorities I think this -decision is extremely doubtful. - -_Joint Employers._--As has been seen above in the case of _Trade -Auxiliary_ v. _Middlesborough_,[355] two or more proprietors of -several periodicals may jointly employ an author so as to acquire the -copyright under this section. Each has a separate copyright in his -respective paper, and, although the matter contributed to the several -papers is the same, may sue without joining the other proprietors. -Each is "a transferee by virtue of section 18 of a limited portion of -the copyright in that particular composition."[356] - -_Payment._--Not only must there be employment for reward, but payment -is a condition precedent. If payment is not proved the section will -not operate to transfer the copyright from the author.[357] Payment -must be made before the commencement of an action.[358] It has been -suggested that it must be made before piracy, and this appears a sound -view since there is no copyright in the proprietor until payment, and -an infringement before copyright is assigned is no cause of action in -the assignee.[359] There is nothing to suggest that payment must be -made before publication.[360] - -_Author's Separate Rights._--When an author has contributed to a -periodical and the conditions of the section have been fulfilled so as -to vest the copyright in the proprietor of the periodical, it would -seem that for twenty-eight years, _i. e._ until the right of publishing -in separate form reverts to the author, the author has no right to -sue third parties in respect of an infringement without joining the -proprietor of the periodical as co-plaintiff. If, however, the author, -while contributing on the terms that the proprietor should have the -copyright, reserves the right of publishing his composition in a -separate form within the meaning of the proviso at the end of the -section, when he does publish in separate form he will be entitled to -copyright concurrently with the proprietor, but semble that he will -have no right to sue alone until publication in separate form,[361] or -until the lapse of twenty-eight years. - -During the twenty-eight years the proprietor of a periodical work -is not, apart from express agreement, entitled to publish the -contribution in separate form. If the proprietor does publish -separately in breach of the provision of the section, the author has a -right of action against him, and the author's right not being one of -copyright but in respect of a breach of implied or statutory contract -he does not require to be registered.[362] "Separate" means in any -other form than the original collective publication, whether as a -single work by itself or in conjunction with other matter. When the -proprietor of a magazine reprinted certain stories which had appeared -in the magazine from time to time, and published them as a supplement -to the current number, this was held to be a publication in separate -form which the author could prevent.[363] So also the republication of -the Christmas number of a periodical under a different title, form, -and price, is a separate publication of an article contained in such -number.[364] A Christmas number of a serial publication, although -published in an entirely different form with separate pagination and -sold at a different price from the ordinary numbers, is part of the -periodical, and separate publication of the stories therein will be -prohibited under section 18.[365] - -An article may be contributed to a periodical under express or implied -terms that the copyright shall belong to the proprietor for all -purposes, in which case there will be no reservation of a right of -separate publication.[366] - -It should be clearly noted that the second part of section 18 applies -only to periodical works. Therefore in the case of an encyclopædia -or similar collective works the owner has, apart from special terms, -a right to publish the contributor's article separately from the -original publication. - -=Employer's Rights where Section 18 does not Apply.=--A question of -some difficulty has been raised from time to time to which there is no -definite authoritative answer, viz. whether apart from the provisions -of section 18 the copyright ever vests _ab initio_ in the employer of -an author. We shall see in dealing with assignment that probably the -sole right before publication to acquire the copyright of a book on -first publication may pass from the author to his assignee without -writing, either by an implied gift on delivery of the manuscript or -by express oral assignment. The question now considered is whether by -the fact of employment alone the work of the employee may not _ipso -facto_ on production become the property of his employer. In _Sweet_ -v. _Benning_[367] it was held that the employment of certain members -of the bar as reporters came within section 18, and that the copyright -vested in the employers themselves; but during the argument Maule, J., -is reported to have said: - - "One might almost infer without the aid of an Act of Parliament - that one who employs another to write an article or to make - anything else for him is the owner or proprietor." - -I think that this suggestion is wrong if applied to the case of an -independent contractor, and that if such an employment does not -come within section 18 there will be no proprietary right in the -employer _ab initio_, although it may be transferred to him before -publication by mere delivery of the manuscript with the mutual -intention to convey all rights. But in the case of a servant or agent -who produces literary work in the course of his employment, I think it -is different. I think that his work will vest _ab initio_ irrespective -of section 18, and that section 18 only applies to an independent -contractor and not to a servant. In _Hildesheimer_ v. _Dunn_[368] -Kekewich, J., takes this view. He says: - - "I entertain a strong opinion that when a person has composed - verses, we will say on behalf of another, that is to say as his - servant or agent, whether for pay or not, the person on whose - behalf such verses are composed is properly registered under the - Act as the proprietor, notwithstanding that there is no assignment - in writing or indeed any assignment at all." - - -SECTION V.--THE ASSIGNEE. - -=Before Publication.=--Before a manuscript has been published the -right to publish and acquire the copyright may be assigned so that on -publication the copyright will be the property of the assignee. If -the publication takes place during the lifetime of the author, the -assignee takes the copyright under sections 2 and 3 of the Copyright -Act, 1842.[369] Section 3 provides "that the copyright in every -book which shall, after the passing of the Act, be published in the -lifetime of its author ... shall be the property of such author and -his assigns." Section 2 provides that the word "assigns" shall be -"construed to mean and include every person in whom the interest of an -author in copyright shall be vested, whether derived from such author -before or after the publication of any book, and whether acquired by -sale, gift, bequest, or by operation of law or otherwise." If the -publication takes place after the death of the author, the assignee -takes the copyright under section 3, which enacts that "the copyright -in every book which shall be published after the death of its author -... shall be the property of the proprietor of the author's manuscript -from which such book shall first be published and his assigns." The -possession and right of property in the manuscript is _primâ facie_ -proof of the right to publish and acquire copyright, but such proof -may be rebutted by showing that the possession or ownership of the -manuscript has been separated from the right to publish and acquire -copyright. Thus in the case of letters the literary property remains -in the writer and his assigns, whereas the property in the physical -substance of the manuscript has passed to the receiver and his assigns. - -If an assignment of manuscript, purporting to carry with it the -right to publish and acquire copyright, is made before publication, -it is submitted that no writing is required. The requirement that -an assignment of copyright after publication must be in writing -is founded not on an express enactment, but on implication from -section 15 of the Copyright Act, 1842.[370] This section prohibits -the reproduction of any book in which there is subsisting copyright -without the consent in writing of the proprietor thereof. From this it -is deduced by _a fortiori_ argument that an assignment of subsisting -copyright must be in writing.[371] It does not in the least follow -that the common law right in manuscript may not be assigned by any -mode by which property of that description might be assigned at -common law. The Courts have not, however, sufficiently distinguished -between an assignment before and an assignment after publication, and -as a result the case law on the subject is in a most unsatisfactory -condition. There are several cases under the statute of Anne, which -statute, in very similar words to the statute of Victoria, provides -that copyright shall belong to the author and his assignee or assigns. -There is no definition of "assigns," as in the statute of Victoria, -but the rule that assignment of copyright must be in writing is -deduced in the same way from the proviso that consent to copy must be -in writing. The cases under the statute of Anne should therefore be -equally applicable as authorities under the statute of Victoria. In -_Clementi_ v. _Walker_[372] a French author had assigned orally to -an English subject the exclusive right of printing and publishing a -musical composition in this country. The work had not been published -in England, and apart altogether from the question of a prior -publication in France, the Court was of opinion that the publication -in England did not give copyright to the English publisher, "because -there was not any assignment or consent in writing given to the author -previously to that publication. The case of _Power_ v. _Walker_[373] -is an authority to show that a parole assignment is not sufficient -to give to the assignee the privileges conferred by the legislature -upon the author." In _Colburn_ v. _Duncombe_[374] there was a written -publishing agreement whereby the author agreed to write a book and -assign the whole copyright therein. On completion the manuscript was -delivered to the publisher, and the author gave a written receipt for -the consideration and agreed to deliver a regular assignment when -called upon. This was never done, and in an action by the publisher -against an infringer it was held that he could not sue without the -author in whom the copyright had vested and remained. In _Sweet_ v. -_Shaw_[375] the plaintiffs agreed with A and B that A and B should -report cases for them. A and B accordingly took notes of cases, -and these were printed and published by the plaintiffs. Shadwell, -V. C., said that he thought the plaintiffs had a copyright in equity -but not in law. "I cannot," he said, "see how the agreement that -persons shall prepare a work for the plaintiffs gives the plaintiffs -a copyright in law, for there can be no assignment in law except of -that which actually exists." In all these three cases last cited it -is submitted that the whole right of the author should have been -held to have passed to the publisher by the delivery to him of the -manuscript with the mutual intention that he should acquire all rights -therein. The first case in which it is recognised that the author's -right may before publication pass without writing is _Jefferys_ v. -_Boosey_.[376] Erle, J.,[377] and Coleridge, J.,[378] decided that -no writing was required. Speaking of an oral assignment abroad of a -manuscript subsequently published here, Coleridge, J., said: "The -assignee is clearly within the enabling clause of the statute (8 -Anne, c. 19); he is the assignee of an author, and even if these words -may in some cases mean an assignee under an instrument in writing -attested by two witnesses, it has not been shown or decided that -they must or can mean this in all cases. I think the contrary has -been shown. Larger words and less restrained the legislature could -scarcely have used, and on what sound principle are we to import a -restraint by implication?" Lord St. Leonards, however, in the same -case, seemed to be of opinion that the assignment must be in writing -and attested by two witnesses (under 8 Anne, c. 19) even although -made before publication. In some of the cases the publisher with whom -the author has agreed that he shall have the whole copyright, but to -whom there has been no assignment in writing, has been said to be an -equitable owner of the copyright.[379] But it is submitted that if -the manuscript passes before publication with mutual intention to -convey to the publisher all right, title, and interest therein, the -publisher is the legal assignee, and on publication is the legal owner -of the copyright, and there is no necessity for a formal assignment -in writing.[380] The same principle may not apply to performing -rights in dramatic and musical works under 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15. It -is probable that statutory performing rights vest in the author on -production,[381] and if this is so there would probably be no common -law performing right, and therefore no common law assignment; the -statutory mode of assignment would attach from the beginning.[382] - -=After Publication.=--After publication an assignment must be in -writing.[383] It need not be by deed nor attested by witnesses,[384] -nor, it would seem, need it be signed by the proprietor or any -one.[385] The assignment may be given by an agent. An assignment does -not require to be registered in order to make it valid as a transfer -of the property: but an assignee who sues must be registered.[386] -If the assignor is registered as proprietor complete assignment may -be made by entry on the Book of Registry at Stationers' Hall.[387] -Probably an author, even although not registered, may make a valid -assignment by registering the book in the name of his assignee as -proprietor.[388] It has been held that an unregistered author may so -register himself and two others and give all three a title to sue as -joint proprietors, from which it seems to follow that he could have -registered the two others without himself.[389] An assignee may make -the entry on the register himself without the concurrence or consent -of his assignor.[390] - -In the case of an assignment made otherwise than by entry on the -register, the writing must in itself amount to a present conveyance of -the copyright although no particular words of conveyance are required. -An executory contract to assign is not sufficient,[391] neither -will it invalidate a subsequent regular assignment to others.[392] -A written agreement "to let A have" a particular drama in discharge -of a debt of £10 was held a complete assignment of all rights in the -drama.[393] A receipt for money purporting to be paid in respect of an -assignment is not in itself an assignment.[394] The copyright will not -pass merely by the sale and transfer of possession of any instrument -whereby the book may be reproduced such as stereotype blocks.[395] -In the event of mesne assignments the burden of proof is in those -disputing the title to show that they were not _rite et solenniter -acta_;[396] and even in the case of an alleged assignment to a party -in the action, a valid assignment has been presumed from a long course -of dealing without actual evidence of an assignment in writing.[397] - -An executory contract or a purported assignment not valid at law will -be recognised in equity, and the Court will order specific performance -or compel the assignor to allow the assignee to sue in the assignor's -name.[398] - -The assignee cannot sue in his own name in respect of acts of -infringement committed before he became proprietor.[399] An assignee -cannot, apart from special agreement, prevent his assignor selling -against him copies of the book which such assignor has printed before -assignment.[400] Probably the assignment of copyright implies a -warranty of the right to convey, free from encumbrances, and quiet -enjoyment.[401] - -Co-assignees take as tenants in common and not as joint tenants,[402] -and any one or more may maintain an action against a stranger for an -infringement of the entire copyright.[403] It follows that one of -several co-assignees cannot grant an effective licence without the -concurrence of the others.[404] - -In _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_[405] Chief Baron Pollock expressed an -opinion that if a foreigner resident abroad had a copyright in this -country, an assignment valid by the laws of a foreign country would be -sufficient, inasmuch as copyright is expressly enacted to be personal -property, and would therefore pass according to the laws of the -country where the transfer took place. - -=Partial Assignment.=--It was laid down in _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_[406] -by Lord St. Leonards that copyright was one and indivisible, and -could not be partially assigned. If this is correct, any attempt to -assign a partial right would operate if at all as a mere licence. This -opinion of Lord St. Leonards was in respect of the statute of Anne. It -seems to be more or less accepted that under the statute of Victoria -copyright is divisible; that there may be partial assignment limited -as to place,[407] _e. g._ provincial rights, right to publish in a -particular country, or limited as to the nature of the right,[408] -_e. g._ the right to dramatize, the right to translate. This view -appears to be based on section 13 of the Act of Victoria,[409] which -enacts that a registered proprietor may assign his interest or any -portion therein by making entry on the register. I do not think that -this provision in itself is conclusive or that it necessarily follows -that a copyright can be split up and partially assigned. Section 13 -may merely mean that the owner can assign a certain undivided share -in his copyright to another. Cotton, L. J., in _Trade Auxiliary_ v. -_Middlesborough_,[410] refers to Lord St. Leonards' doctrine. He -does not disapprove of it, but he distinguishes the case of common -ownership in a copyright from the case of a partial assignment as to -place. - -In a case decided in the Supreme Court of New South Wales,[411] it was -held that the assignee of a performing right limited to the Australian -colonies could sue in his own name for infringement. The Court -distinguished between the performing right and the copyright. They -said that even although the copyright, in accordance with Lord St. -Leonards' opinion, was not divisible the performing right was.[412] - -In any view of partial assignment I do not think there can be partial -assignment as to time.[413] Such an assignment would create an estate -in possession and reversion in personal property, and there is no -reason for holding that copyright is any exception to the general -rule that such an interest cannot be created in personalty. Equitable -estates, limited as to time, can no doubt be created as in the case of -any other personal property.[414] What purports to be an assignment -limited as to time must as a rule be treated as a licence. - -=Assignment distinguished from Licence.=--The distinction between an -assignment and a licence must be carefully observed; questions of the -utmost importance will often depend on whether a transaction was one -or the other. An assignment is a conveyance of the right denuding the -grantor and carrying to the grantee the whole interest including the -right to sue and the right to re-assign, whereas a licence is only a -personal permission to the grantee to infringe the grantor's right, -and carries with it no right of action except in the grantor's name. -In determining whether a particular transaction is an assignment or a -licence, the first question is whether, on a true construction of the -statute, the right purported to be given can be given by assignment -or only by licence. If the right is one so limited that it cannot -legally be the object of assignment, the transaction must necessarily -be a licence; but if it can legally be the object of assignment, the -further question arises as to what was the intention of the parties -as evidenced by what they have said and done. There may often be -clear words to show what was intended, but more often it may never -have occurred to the parties that there was any distinction between -an assignment and a licence, and the form used will consequently be -ambiguous. The principal test in such cases is to examine the contract -and the circumstances under which it was made, and see whether or not -it bears the impress of a reliance by the grantor on the personal -skill or reputation of the grantee. If it does a licence will be -presumed rather than an assignment; for instance, in a publishing -agreement a licence only will be presumed, since either the pocket or -the reputation of the author would suffer if the right of publication -were to pass into incompetent hands.[415] - - -SECTION VI.--THE LICENSEE. - -Whether a bare licensee can bring an action for infringement without -joining the legal owner of the copyright is open to doubt. It is -submitted that he cannot. The essence of a licence proper is that it -is merely a personal relationship between a licensor and a licensee -whereby the latter is permitted to infringe the former's copyright. -The old cases are not satisfactory. The distinction between partial -assignment and licence is not clearly drawn, and the result is a -confusion of the respective rights of the assignee and the licensee. -In several cases it was said that licensees could sue[416] but _quære_ -whether they were not really partial assignees. It has also been -said that an owner of copyright who has granted an exclusive licence -cannot sue in respect of an infringement which touches only the rights -included in such licence, unless such owner has the consent of his -licensee.[417] This again, it is submitted, is not a correct statement -of the law, and arises from a confusion between a partial assignee -and a licensee. In _Taylor_ v. _Neville_[418] the grant of provincial -performing rights although called a licence was really treated as an -assignment and distinguished from a "merely personal licence." It is -submitted that a licence proper is always "merely personal" and that -the grantor may sue without consent of his licensee. Where a licence -has been granted or when there is doubt as to whether a particular -grant is an assignment or a licence, it will always be safer to join -both grantor and grantee as co-plaintiffs. A licence will not be -presumed to be a sole licence, and unless it is expressly stated, or -must necessarily be implied from the circumstances that it is so, the -first licensee cannot restrain the licensor from granting, or a second -licensee from acting on, a second licence.[419] - - -SECTION VII.--THE EXECUTORS OR ADMINISTRATORS. - -Copyright is personal property, and descends on the death of an -owner to his personal representatives.[420] "Assigns" is expressly -interpreted to include one taking by bequest or by operation of -law. The common law property in the manuscript passes on the death -of the owner in the same way as copyright. A bequest of "all my -books" has been held to include valuable manuscript notes left by a -physician.[421] - - -SECTION VIII.--THE TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY. - -Copyright comes within the vesting section of the Bankruptcy Act -and passes to the trustee of a bankrupt owner.[422] A bankrupt's -unpublished works, probably, cannot be published for the benefit of -his creditors without his consent. - - - - -CHAPTER IV - -INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT IN BOOKS - - -SECTION I.--PROHIBITED ACTS, AND REMEDIES. - -Copyright is defined by the Copyright Act, 1842, as "the sole and -exclusive liberty of printing or otherwise multiplying copies." Any -invasion of this monopoly is an infringement of copyright. Besides -infringement of copyright, _i. e_. illegal copying, the Act makes it -an offence to deal in certain ways with unlawful copies. The offences -against copyright and the owner's remedies may be conveniently -summarised as follows: - - For the following offences:[423] - - i. Piratical copying. - ii. Importing for sale or hire unlawfully printed books. - iii. Selling or hiring, or having in possession for sale or - hire, unlawfully printed books, knowing the same - to be unlawfully printed.[424] - iv. Causing any of the above acts to be done. - - The remedies[425] are an action in a Court of Record for: - - 1. Damages and account of profits. - 2. Delivery up of copies. - 3. Injunction. - - For the following offences:[426] - - v. Importing without the consent of the proprietor a - foreign copy or copies,[427] _i. e._ printed outside the - British dominion. - vi. Selling or hiring or having in possession for sale or - hire foreign copies knowing them to be unlawfully - imported.[428] - - The remedies are: - - 1. Seizure and destruction by any officer of Customs,[429] - and on conviction before two justices of the peace. - 2. £10 for every offence.[430] - 3. Double the value of every copy dealt with,[431] and - - An action in the High Court for - - 4. An injunction.[432] - -=Causing to be Printed.=--The prohibition in section 15 is against -"printing, or causing to be printed." Thus the author, publisher,[433] -and printer of a piratical book are all equally liable, and it is no -defence for the publisher, who has employed the printer, or for the -printer to say he was acting merely as an innocent agent.[434] There -may sometimes be difficulty in determining whether a person who, to -a certain extent, is interested in the publication has yet caused it -to be printed within the meaning of the section. Thus, in the case -of _Kelly's Directories_ v. _Gavin and Lloyds_,[435] the plaintiff -had published a directory of merchants and shipping statistics. The -defendant Gavin prepared a similar directory, and agreed with the -defendants Lloyds for its publication. Lloyds were to print part of it -and allow the use of their name in the title and receive some share -in the profits. The book was accordingly published under the title of -"Lloyds' Diary for Merchants, &c.," and bore on the title-page the -statement "printed at Lloyds, Royal Exchange, London." Part of the -book was held to be an infringement of the plaintiff's copyright; -but it was proved on the trial that that part was not printed by -Lloyds, but by a printer employed by Gavin, and that Lloyds had no -knowledge of its piratical nature. Byrne, J., found that Lloyds were -not partners in the undertaking with Gavin, and that the printing of -the piratical portion was not done by the printer as their agent. He -therefore held that Lloyds had not "caused" that portion to be printed -within the meaning of the section, and dismissed the action as against -Lloyds, but without costs, as they had allowed their name to appear on -the title-page as printers. - -=Damages.=--An action for damages lies, irrespectively of sections 15 -or 23, for any infringement of copyright as defined by section 2.[436] -The damages are damages as for conversion or detinue,[437] and may be -matter for inquiry before a master or official referee, but frequently -are assessed by the judge on a rough estimate. - -=Account of Profits.=--An order for an account of profits is an -equitable remedy. The defendant is held to have been in possession -of the plaintiff's property, and must account for the profits -thereof.[438] The account will be for an account of net profits.[439] -On an interlocutory application for an injunction the defendant may -undertake to keep an account of profits until trial; but, strictly, -the right to an account depends on the right to an injunction, and -will not be ordered when the case for an injunction fails.[440] If -the defendant's work is not wholly piratical, the profits must be -apportioned according to the relative value of the piratical with -the non-piratical matter. The defendant's profits may not entirely -recoup the plaintiff for the damage he has suffered, and in that -event he is entitled to an inquiry into damages to supplement his -compensation.[441] - -=Injunction.=--This is also an equitable remedy. It is not specially -provided for in the Copyright Act, but being the ancillary remedy in -equity for the protection of legal rights, it will be granted or -withheld according to the discretion of the Courts in all cases of -infringement or other offences against the Act.[442] - -An interim injunction is usually granted on motion before trial -where the plaintiff shows a _primâ facie_ case on affidavit. In -doubtful cases weight will be given to the consideration which side -is more likely to suffer from an erroneous judgment.[443] The Court -will consider the balance of convenience on the one side and the -other.[444] The reason for granting an interim injunction is that -a continuing infringement might cause damage for which it would be -difficult or impossible to assess an adequate money compensation. -If the taking is of an inconsiderable part, an interim injunction -might not be given, although an injunction might go at the hearing. -In urgent cases an interim injunction may be granted _ex parte_. In -all interim injunctions the plaintiff is, as a rule, required to -undertake to give compensation to the defendant if on trial he fails -to establish his case.[445] When such an undertaking is given the -defendant is, if he succeed in his defence, entitled to an inquiry as -to the damage sustained on account of the interim injunction against -him.[446] When there has been undue delay in bringing an action, or -where the conduct of the plaintiff has been such as to induce the -defendant to believe that his conduct would not be objected to, an -interim injunction will probably be refused.[447] A mere expression -of opinion by the plaintiff that it would be legal to make a certain -use of his work is not a sufficient ground for refusing an injunction -if in point of law the use made by the defendant is illegal.[448] -"Copyright is not to be lost by the mere expression of opinion."[449] -At the hearing of the action a perpetual injunction will be granted -on the plaintiff proving his title and infringement. Delay or -acquiescence not amounting to fraud will not prevent an injunction -going at the hearing when the plaintiff proves his right;[450] "for -at the hearing of the cause it is the duty of the Court to decide -upon the rights of the parties, and the dismissal of the bill upon -the ground of acquiescence amounts to a decision that a right which -has once existed is absolutely and for ever lost."[451] When an -infringement has been shown the Court will not wait until it can -ascertain distinctly what parts have been pirated. It will grant an -injunction in general terms restraining the defendant, his agents, -servants, or workmen from further printing, publishing, selling, or -otherwise disposing of any copy or copies of the defendant's book -containing any passage or passages copied, taken, or colourably -altered from the plaintiff's book.[452] If it appears that the -piratical parts of the defendant's book can be distinguished from that -which is innocent, this will be done in the injunction.[453] For a -form of injunction against a servant restraining him from using blocks -and materials obtained while in the plaintiff's employment, see _Lamb_ -v. _Evans_.[454] An injunction will be granted without any inquiry as -to actual damages;[455] but there must be probability of damage. In -_Borthwick_ v. _Evening Post_,[456] Cotton, L. J., said: - - "In my opinion, in order to justify the Court in granting an - injunction, we ought to be satisfied that there probably will be - injury to the pockets of the plaintiff ... an injunction is an - equitable remedy, and ought not to be granted unless the Court is - satisfied that there is damage to the plaintiff--probable damage, - not necessarily damage already suffered--as the result of the - defendant's conduct."[457] - -_Quære_ whether an injunction will be granted to protect the future -numbers of a periodical. In _Cate_ v. _Devon and Exeter Constitutional -Newspaper Company_,[458] North, J., in granting an injunction to -restrain a systematic infringement of a periodical, said: - - "It is clear that an injunction can only be granted in respect of - matters in regard to which the plaintiffs now have the copyright - and a present right to sue; they cannot have any protection by - injunction to restrain the defendants from publishing hereafter - any future entries with respect to which the plaintiffs may - possibly ... acquire a copyright, ... but as to which they clearly - cannot at this moment have any copyright."[459] - -In another case, however, where a single illustration had been taken -from _Punch_, Kekewich, J., said he saw no objection to the injunction -extending to the protection of the contents of future numbers of -_Punch_, and granted a perpetual injunction accordingly against the -_Ludgate Monthly_.[460] An injunction will not be granted when it -is difficult or impossible to enforce it,[461] for instance, when -the defendant can readily reprint the same matter, compiling it from -original sources.[462] The piracy proved may be so inconsiderable, and -so little likely to injure the plaintiff, that the Court may decline -to interfere by injunction.[463] - -=Delivery up of Copies.=--All copies of any books wherein there is -copyright and of which entry has been made in the Registry Book -and which are unlawfully printed or imported, are deemed to be the -property of the registered proprietor of such copyright, and he is -entitled after demand in writing to sue for the same in detinue and -trover.[464] - -This right to the delivery up of pirated copies for the benefit of -the proprietor of the copyright is purely statutory. Under the Acts -of Anne and George III. the proprietor on delivery up was enjoined -to damask and make waste paper of the copies.[465] Under the Act of -Victoria the proprietor for the first time is entitled to recover such -copies for his own use. It has been doubted whether there was any -right to delivery up at common law,[466] but the bulk of authority -is in favour of the view that there was,[467] although the delivery -up was for destruction only.[468] It is a doubtful point whether -section 23 applies to unlawful copies made before registration of the -plaintiff's title. Fry, L. J., held that it did not,[469] and therefore -in the case of such copies ordered delivery up for destruction as a -common law remedy, but refused the statutory remedy of delivery up -for the plaintiff's benefit. Jessel, M. R., however, differed from -this view,[470] and thought that the 23rd section applied to unlawful -copies made before the plaintiff's title was registered. It must -also be considered doubtful whether section 23 applies where the -defendant's book is not merely a reprint of the plaintiff's. In an -Irish case O'Brien, J., said: - - "It would be difficult to maintain that under the 23rd section the - proprietor of the copyright in a book would acquire the property - of all copies of another book which contained printed therein a - few pages or passages of his book."[471] - -But, whether or not in such a case the plaintiff would be entitled -under the section to extraction and delivery up for his benefit -of the pirated parts, he is under the general jurisdiction of the -Court entitled to delivery up for cancellation.[472] In _Warne_ v. -_Seebohm_[473] the order was that the defendant should first state -upon oath what copies of the work exist; secondly, extract from -those copies which are in his possession or power and deliver up -to the plaintiffs for cancellation all passages copied, taken, or -colourably imitated from the plaintiffs' book; thirdly, produce to the -plaintiffs, if required by them for examination, the copies after the -pirated passages have been extracted.[474] _Quære_ whether the Court -would order delivery up in an action to which the person who owned the -books and paper and at whose expense the printing was executed was not -a party.[475] - -=Customs Act.=--The Customs Laws Consolidation Act, 1876,[476] -provides for the seizure of foreign books, and in this respect is -somewhat inconsistent with section 17 of the Copyright Act. Section 42 -of the Customs Act prohibits the importation of books "first composed -or written or printed in the United Kingdom and printed or reprinted -in any other country, as to which the proprietor of such copyright or -his agent shall have given to the Commissioners of Customs a notice in -writing duly declared[477] that such copyright subsists, such notice -also stating when such copyright will expire." On reference to section -17 of the Copyright Act it will be noticed that the prohibition there -is as to books "reprinted in any country or place outside the British -dominions." _Quære_ does the provision in the Customs Act enlarge the -protection by the words "printed or reprinted in any other country"? -Does this include the colonies? Again it will be noticed that the -Copyright Act has no condition as to notice to the Commissioners of -Customs. _Quære_ is the notice required by the Customs Act a condition -precedent to all protection from unlawful importation, and in this -respect does the Customs Act limit the provisions of the Copyright -Act, or is the Customs Act merely directory to the Custom-house -officials? To be on the safe side the notice should always be given. -Section 44 of the Customs Act provides for the keeping of a list of -books as to which notice has been given, and section 45 entitles any -person who shall have cause to complain of the insertion of any book -in such list to apply to a judge at chambers for the rectification -thereof. - -=Every Offence.=--Each separate transaction of sale or importation -will constitute a separate offence, for which a separate penalty -of £10 will accrue.[478] It would seem that "every such offence" -does not, as in the Artistic Copyright Act, mean "or the sale or -importation of every copy."[479] - -=Limitation of Action.=--Section 26 of the Copyright Act, 1842, -enacts, "that all actions, suits, bills, indictments or informations -for any offence that shall be committed against this Act shall be -brought, sued, and commenced within twelve calendar months next after -such offence committed, or else the same shall be void and of none -effect." It is clear that even although the remedy for one offence is -barred, that in no way extinguishes the owner's right, and the owner -may sue for subsequent offences;[480] thus although a piratical book -has been printed and published more than twelve months before action -brought, yet the owner will be entitled to sue in respect of sales, -&c., made within the twelve months. In a Scotch case, _Stewart_ v. -_Black_,[481] it seems to have been held by Lord President Boyle that -the limitation in the 26th section did not apply to an action of -damages for infringement, and Malins, V. C., says _obiter_ in _Weldon_ -v. _Dicks_,[482] that in his opinion the limitation only applies to an -action for penalties. It is submitted that _Stewart_ v. _Black_, if -applied to books published after 1842, is wrong, and that the dictum -of Malins, V. C., in _Weldon_ v. _Dicks_, is also wrong. The section -seems sufficiently clear and applicable to all actions brought in -respect of an infringement of copyright. The argument contra seems -to be based on the use of the words "for any offence that shall be -committed," from which it is argued, that penalties only are pointed -at. Offence, however, is used in the 15th section as applicable to -infringement of copyright not involving penalties. In cases where the -Public Authorities Protection Act applies, the shorter limitation of -six months must be substituted.[483] - -=Pleading.=--The defendant is required to give to the plaintiff a -notice in writing of any objections on which he means to rely on the -trial of the action. If the defendant intends to dispute that the -plaintiff is author or first publisher, or that he is proprietor, he -must state the name of the person whom he alleges to be the author or -proprietor, together with the title of the book and the time when, and -the place where, such book was first published.[484] It has been said -to be sufficient, in the case of an old publication, to state the year -of first publication without stating the day and month in the notice -of objections.[485] - -The notice of objections must be specific, and give full notice of -the nature of the defence.[486] If the defence is that the book has -not been registered at all, that must be stated.[487] If a faulty -registration is relied on, it is not sufficient to deny that the book -has been duly registered; the notice must state what the particular -objection to the registration is.[488] If the plaintiff's title is -denied, it will not do merely to state that the proprietor "is some -person unknown, but not the plaintiff;"[489] the full particulars -as required by the section must be given.[490] In objecting to the -registration, however, it is not necessary for the defendant to state -what the correct entry should he. Thus if he says the time of first -publication is wrongly entered, he does not require to specify the -true date of first publication.[491] It is unnecessary to deliver -a separate "Notice of Objections," as was the practice at one -time,[492] it is sufficient if it is incorporated in the defence. A -suggestion of defective title contained in an affidavit would not be -sufficient.[493] If a defective title is apparent from the plaintiff's -own statement of claim or evidence, the action would probably be -dismissed by the Court, _proprio motu_, even although the defendant -had not given notice of objection.[494] Leave to amend the pleadings -and take further objection may be allowed on conditions under the -judicial discretion given by the Rules of the Supreme Court,[495] but -if the objection be merely technical, the Court will not give leave to -amend,[496] unless, perhaps, the plaintiff had otherwise fair notice -that the objection might be taken.[497] It has been held by a County -Court judge that section 16 of the Copyright Act does not apply to -proceedings in the County Court, as that Court was created after the -date of the Act.[498] - -The plaintiff may be ordered to specify the particular passages which -he is prepared to prove have been pirated from his work.[499] - -=Evidence.=--The great test of piracy is coincidence of blunders, -and when some passages are proved by the recurrence of blunders to -have been copied, other passages which are the same with passages in -the original book are presumed _primâ facie_ to be likewise copied, -although no blunders occur in them.[500] - -It will greatly prejudice the defendant if his manuscript is not -produced or accounted for.[501] - -A denial by the defendant that he has made any use whatsoever of the -plaintiff's work raises a presumption of piracy if it is shown that he -must have made some use of it, however fair.[502] - -To prove that A on a certain date heard certain music performed from -printed sheets, is no evidence that the music was published as a book -at that date.[503] - -=Discovery.=--The defendant is entitled to administer interrogatories -to ascertain the extent of the sale of plaintiff's book, and to enable -the defendant to ascertain the damages and pay into Court.[504] - -The plaintiff is entitled to interrogate as to the original sources -from which the defendant alleges his work to have been compiled.[505] - -=Mode of Trial.=--Formerly the question of piracy or no piracy and -the amount of damages was frequently tried by jury, but now the trial -of the action is almost invariably before a judge alone, either in -the Chancery or the King's Bench Division. Either party may ask for a -trial by jury, but not as a matter of right, it is a matter entirely -in the discretion of the Court and semble that the onus lies on the -party applying for a jury to show that the cause could be more -conveniently tried in that way.[506] - -=Costs.=--In copyright as in other actions a successful party -may be refused his costs. The plaintiff will not get his costs if -he has unduly acquiesced in the defendant's conduct, and thereby -induced the defendant to incur expenses,[507] or if after acquiescence -and delay an action is brought without fair warning.[508] So, too, -if the plaintiff has suffered no real harm, but brings an action for -the purpose of making money out of it;[509] and in one case where -the Court was of opinion that although the plaintiff was entitled -to nominal damages, the action was one which should never -have been brought, the plaintiff was ordered to pay the defendant's -costs as well as his own.[510] If the plaintiff has increased the -expenses by raising other questions in which he has failed, the -costs will be apportioned.[511] A defendant, although successful, -may lose his costs or part of them if he has acted in such a way -as was not fair and right as between man and man;[512] for instance, -if he has made some use of the plaintiff's book, but does not -acknowledge it at the hearing.[513] A successful defendant may -lose his costs if in his defence he challenges the plaintiff's title -and fails in his attack, but wins on the question of piracy. If a -defendant by his conduct in lending his name to a publication -has led the plaintiff to assume that he "caused it to be printed," -he will probably not be allowed his costs.[514] A defendant may -also be refused his costs if the Court is of opinion that he -brought the action on himself by sailing too near the wind.[515] -The Court will not encourage a plagiarist or one who has made -an illiberal use of another's work, even although he has not -actually committed a piracy. Costs have also been refused -where, although the defendant succeeded, his defence was a -merely technical one, such as a defect in registration.[516] If copyright -is claimed in part of a book only, the whole of which is -registered without distinction, the notice of motion or statement -of claim should specify the parts in which copyright is claimed, -or the plaintiff may be liable in costs unnecessarily incurred by -the defendant.[517] - - -SECTION II.--WHAT IS A PIRATICAL COPY. - -Literary property may be invaded in three ways: - - (i) Open Piracy; - (ii) Literary Larceny; - (iii) Commercial Fraud.[518] - -With the first there is no difficulty once a title has been -established and the pirate caught. It consists in a bodily reprinting -and publishing of the whole or of large portions of a copyright book. -The third is not properly speaking an infringement of copyright. It is -the invasion of the common law rights of an author or publisher, and -will be dealt with later. The second, literary larceny, gives rise to -many difficult questions and is dealt with in this section. - -The question put by the law is, in its simplest form: "Is the alleged -infringement an unauthorised copy of the whole or part of a copyright -work?" The statute does not attempt to define what a copy is, and -such rules as there are for determining whether one work is a copy of -another are entirely derived from the case law on the subject. It is -impossible to lay down any very definite rules as to infringement; -it is really a question of fact not of law; and although now almost -invariably tried by a judge sitting alone, it was at one time -constantly referred to the decision of a jury. The judges either in -giving their own decisions or in directing juries have from time to -time laid down general rules as an aid to determining these questions -of fact. - -The Copyright Acts have always received a liberal interpretation in -favour of the author, and against the plagiarist. "If we can construe -the Act so as to promote fair and honest dealing, such a construction -is to be preferred."[519] - -=What is a Copy.=--A copy is that which will provide a substitute -for the whole or for a substantial part of the original book.[520] -The owner of the copyright has the sole and exclusive liberty of -printing or otherwise multiplying copies. It has been held that -the right is not in any way limited by section 15 of the Copyright -Act, 1842, which section applies its remedy only to cases where the -subject-matter is multiplied by printing.[521] Thus copies produced by -writing,[522] lithography,[523] type writing,[524] photography,[525] -are copies within the meaning of the Act. The symbols used matter -little in themselves; the question in each case is whether the -defendants are multiplying copies.[526] It is not necessary that the -copy should be primarily intended to be used for the same purpose -as the original. Thus a copy in shorthand characters intended for -instruction in shorthand was held to be an infringement of a story in -a magazine.[527] But the copy must provide a reasonable substitute -for the whole or part of the original work. A perforated scroll used -for the mechanical reproduction of music from an instrument is not a -copy, since no reasonable being would use it as a substitute for the -original sheet of music.[528] - -=A Substantial Part must be Taken.=--In other words, _De minimis non -curat lex_. - - "Part is not necessarily the same as particle, and there may be a - taking so minute in its extent and so trifling in its nature as - not to incur the statutable liability."[529] - -In _Sweet_ v. _Benning_,[530] Jervis, C. J., said: - - "It is undoubtedly exceedingly difficult, perhaps absolutely - impossible, to lay down any general rule upon this subject. I do - not assent to the argument that every publication of a portion of - a work in which there is subsisting copyright will afford a ground - of action: it is a question of degree which must depend upon the - circumstances of each particular case." - -In _Chatterton_ v. _Cave_,[531] Brett, J., said: - - "Unless there is a taking of a material and substantial part there - is no infringement of copyright. It is true that the question - under the second section is not only whether the whole production - has been copied, but also whether a part has been copied; but by a - part this section must mean a material and substantial part."[532] - -In _Chatterton_ v. _Cave_,[533] two small points or incidents -were taken from one drama by the author of another, and it was -held that the taking was not of a substantial part. In _Pike_ v. -_Nicholas_,[534] in the case of two rival essays on the same subject, -one quotation from a classical author was taken by the defendant -directly from the plaintiff's book; Lord Hatherley, L. C., and Giffard, -L. J., were of opinion that it would not do to show merely one or two -passages; some material part of the book must be shown to have been -taken. - -The question is not altogether one of quantity, it is perhaps mainly -one of quality,[535] and depends on the character of the work and the -relative value of the material taken.[536] - - "The question of the extent of appropriation which is necessary - to establish an infringement of copyright is often one of extreme - difficulty: but in cases of this description the quality of the - piracy is more important than the proportion which the borrowed - passages bear to the whole work."[537] - - "It ought to be clearly established that, looking at the works as - a whole, there has been a substantial appropriation by the one - party of the independent labour of the other before any proceeding - on the ground of copyright can be justified."[538] - - "When it comes to a question of quantity it must be very vague. - One writer might take all the vital[539] part of another's book, - though it might be but a small proportion of the book in quantity. - It is not only quantity, but value that is always looked to."[540] - - "The principle of the cases is that, when one man for his own - profit puts into his work an essential part of another man's work - from which that other may still derive profit, or from which but - for the act of the first he might have derived profit, there is - evidence of piracy."[541] - -Although it is no excuse for infringement to say that the matter taken -has been improved upon or added to, yet there may be so much new -matter that the part borrowed becomes so insignificant that the Courts -will not interfere. In _Mawman_ v. _Tegg_,[542] Lord Chancellor Eldon -says: - - "After the quantity of matter which has been copied has been - ascertained, the quantity of matter not piratical with which the - piratical matter has been intermixed is still a circumstance of - great importance." - -The materiality of the part taken may sometimes be judged more by the -proportion which it bears to the defendant's work than to the work -from which it is taken. Thus in _Neale_ v. _Harmer_[543] the plaintiff -had prepared and published an elaborate work intituled "The Abbey -Church of St. Alban," containing about 200 architectural drawings. -The defendant took and published three of these in a magazine article -on St. Alban's Abbey, and they were the only strictly architectural -drawings illustrating the article. It was held to be an infringement. -Kekewich, J., said in his judgment: - - "It is said that these drawings did not form a material part of - the plaintiff's work. In one sense that is true. The plaintiff's - work is a large one, and it is a very learned work. The test is - not so much what proportion of the plaintiff's work had been - taken, but rather what portion of the defendant's work is the - plaintiff's." - -In questions of amount it is material to inquire whether the matter -was taken so as to compete with the plaintiff's work,[544] but an -infringement need not necessarily be shown to be in competition with -the work infringed, since it is sufficient if the defendant has made -such a use of part of the plaintiff's work as the plaintiff might -himself have done. - -If matter is taken regularly and systematically by one periodical from -another, and particularly if it is taken and claimed to be taken as of -right, a very small amount will suffice.[545] As to a claim of right, -North, J., said in _Cate_ v. _Devon_: - - "That of itself is sufficient to put the plaintiff in the wrong in - the action and get over any question as to the amount of matter - actually taken."[546] - -Although the Court will not grant a remedy for a trifling -infringement, it will not refuse an injunction merely on account -of the minute inquiries into detail which, in some cases, may be -necessary to establish even an extensive piracy.[547] - -=No Animus Furandi need be Proved.=--In _Cary_ v. _Kearsley_[548] Lord -Ellenborough's judgment contained a reference to the _animus furandi_ -in cases of infringement, from which a mistaken idea seems to have -arisen that in all cases of infringement the _animus furandi_ must be -proved.[549] Lord Ellenborough said: - - "That part of the work of one author is found in another is not in - itself piracy or sufficient to support an action; a man may fairly - adopt part of the work of another; he may so make use of another's - labours for the promotion of science and the benefit of the - public, but having done so the question will be, was the matter so - taken used fairly with that view and without what I may term the - _animus furandi_."[550] - -This did not mean that in every case of infringement alleged it was -necessary to prove an _animus furandi_ or guilty intention. Lord -Ellenborough in a subsequent case[551] said: - - "The intention to pirate is not necessary in an action of this - sort; it is enough that the publication complained of is in - substance a copy whereby a work vested in another is prejudiced. - If A takes the property of B the _animus furandi_ is inferred from - the act."[552] - -In _Scott_ v. _Stanford_,[553] Page Wood, V. C., after quoting -the above passage from Lord Ellenborough's judgment in _Cary_ v. -_Kearsley_,[554] said: - - "It is urged that this is a case in which no _animus furandi_ can - be found on the part of Mr. Hunt, who has taken these statistics - in perfect good faith and with the fullest acknowledgment[555] - in his book of the source from which they are derived. But if in - effect the great bulk of the plaintiff's publication--a large and - vital portion of his work and labour--has been appropriated and - published in a form which will materially injure his copyright, - mere honest intention on the part of the appropriator will not - suffice, as the Court can only look at the result and not at - the intention in the man's mind at the time of doing the act - complained of, and he must be presumed to intend all that the - publication of his work effects."[556] - -Although the _animus furandi_ does not require to be proved, it is -a useful aid to proof, and where it appears piracy is more readily -presumed.[557] - -=Taking not necessarily for Profit.=--The prohibition in section 15 -of the Copyright Act, 1842, is against printing or causing to be -printed "either for sale or exportation," but as this has been held -not to confine piracy to copying by means of printing, neither does -it confine it to copying for sale or exportation, and the purpose for -which the copy when made is to be used is immaterial. In _Alexander_ -v. _Mackenzie_[558] the Society of Writers to the Signet in Edinburgh -prepared for the use of their own members a book of forms taken -largely from a similar copyright work. The Court of Session held -that this was an infringement of copyright. A catalogue of books, -although not intended for sale, may be an infringement of another -catalogue;[559] manuscript copies of a copyright song distributed -exclusively among the members of a philharmonic society,[560] and a -telegraphic code distributed only among the agents of a shipping firm -have also been prohibited.[561] In _Ager_ v. _The P. & O._, Kay, J., -said: - - "It has long been settled that multiplying copies for private - distribution among a limited class of persons is just as illegal - as if it were done for the purpose of sale." - -It is submitted that making a single copy for private use is an -infringement. - -=Copying may be Indirect and Unintentional.=--If matter in which -copyright exists is taken it is immaterial that the appropriation -was made not directly from the original work but indirectly -through some other work, copyright or non-copyright, authorised or -unauthorised. Thus a book may be infringed by retranslating or copying -a translation of it,[562] and a drama may be infringed by dramatizing -a novel founded on the drama.[563] In _Cate_ v. _Devon and Exeter -Constitutional Newspaper Company_,[564] it was argued that an indirect -copying could not be considered an infringement, because since the -copyist is ignorant of what works he is indirectly copying, he cannot -know whether or not he is infringing any copyright books, but this -argument was rejected. Ignorance on the part of the copyist does not -excuse him from the consequences of his act.[565] - -=Custom of Trade= has been pleaded in defence of what was otherwise -clearly a piracy. A custom was alleged whereby provincial newspapers -were entitled to make large extracts, without criticism, from articles -in magazines which were sent to them;[566] and in another case "a -usual practice" among publishers of magazines to take articles from -each other[567] was pleaded. It is clear that no such customs can be -admitted. In _Walter_ v. _Steinkopff_[568] the _St. James' Gazette_ -alleged that there was a universal understanding among journalists and -newspaper proprietors that paragraphs of news may be quoted verbatim -by one daily paper from another without express consent, provided (1) -the source was acknowledged, (2) the papers were not direct rivals, -(3) there is give and take between the papers, and (4) no expressed -objection. The _St. James' Gazette_ took articles from the _Times_ -on this alleged footing. North, J., held that they had not complied -with these conditions, and that even if they had it would have been no -defence. - - "The plea of the existence of such a habit or practice of copying, - as is set up, can no more be supported when challenged than the - highwayman's plea of the custom of Hounslow Heath."[569] - -=Fair Use.=--When an author writes on a subject in which there are -common sources of information he must do the work of research and -compilation for himself, and the only use he can lawfully make of a -prior copyright work on the same subject is-- - - i. Using the information or the ideas contained in it without - copying its words or imitating them so as to produce - what is substantially a copy. - ii. Making extracts (even if they are not acknowledged as - such) appearing under all the circumstances of the case - reasonable in quality, number, and length, regard being - had to the objects for which the extracts are made and - to the subjects to which they relate. - iii. Using one book on a given subject as a guide to authorities - afterwards independently consulted by the author - of another book on the same subject. - iv. Using one book on a given subject for the purpose of - checking the results independently arrived at by the - author of another book on the same subject.[570] - -_No one can monopolize a Field of Labour._--Although an author has -been the first to deal with a particular subject, his priority gives -him no exclusive right therein.[571] Any one else can do exactly -the same as he has done. If a man draws a map of a newly-discovered -island, or writes a book on the habits of its natives, he acquires no -right to prevent any one from competing with him in the publication -of maps and books dealing with that island.[572] His only right is -to prevent any one else from taking matter from his book. In one -of the older cases it was suggested that there was a usage among -booksellers--a sort of comity among them--by which if one preoccupied -a certain subject he was considered a sort of proprietor.[573] In that -case Lord Eldon repudiated the idea that such could be the law, and -now no monopoly of the kind could be suggested. - - "All human events are equally open to all who wish to add to - or improve the materials already collected by others making an - original work."[574] - -_No Infringement to take Facts._--It is no infringement to state a -fact or an opinion which another man has stated for the first time: -but you must not take his mode of expression or his selection or -arrangement of facts which he has thought proper to state. Thus there -is no copyright in a mere piece of news, for instance, "The Emperor of -China is dead." If one newspaper proprietor received a telegram from -abroad to that effect, another could take the information as published -and print it in his newspaper. But although there is no copyright in -news as such, the smallest taking of a selection or arrangement of -news will be prohibited. In a case in Victoria[575] the defendants -had taken the plaintiff's telegrams, rearranged them, and altered -the expression, and yet they were held to have been guilty of an -infringement. - -_No Infringement to take the General Scheme or Idea of another Book -or the Theories therein._--Copyright does not extend to ideas or -schemes or systems or methods: it is confined to their expression; and -if their expression is not copied the copyright is not infringed.[576] -Thus in _Jarrold_ v. _Houlston_,[577] Page Wood, V. C., said that even -although Dr. Brewer's "Guide to Science," which purported to give -popular scientific information under various headings in the form of -question and answer, had been the first book of the kind, there was -nothing to prevent another person from originating another book in the -same general form, provided he did so from his own resources.[578] In -_Pike_ v. _Nicholas_, the case of two rival historical essays on "The -Origin of the English Nation," James, V. C., said: - - "There is no monopoly in the main theory of the plaintiff, or - in the theories and speculations by which he has supported - it, nor even in the use of the published results of his own - observations."[579] - -A careful distinction must be drawn between the taking of a scheme -and the taking of it as applied to certain material, _i. e._ the -taking of the expression. For instance, in _Kelly_ v. _Morris_,[580] -the plaintiff had adopted a "very ingenious form of arrangement" in -his "Street Directory." The defendant was held to have infringed -the plaintiff's copyright by taking his list of streets from the -plaintiff's work. The only thing he was entitled to do was to adopt -the "ingenious form of arrangement" and apply it for himself. - -_Every Author must do his own Work._--In _Longman_ v. -_Winchester_,[581] the action being for the infringement of copyright -in a court calendar, Lord Eldon drew an analogy to the case of a map -describing a particular county and a map of the same county afterwards -published by another person, which, if the description be accurate in -both, must be very much the same, yet he said: - - "It is clear the latter publisher cannot on that account be - justified in sparing himself the labour and expense of actual - survey." - -In _Lewis_ v. _Fullarton_,[582] Lord Langdale, M. R., said: - - "Any man is entitled to write and publish a topographical - dictionary and to avail himself of the labours of all former - writers whose works are not subject to copyright, and of all - public sources of information: but whilst all are entitled to - resort to common sources of information, none are entitled to save - themselves trouble and expense by availing themselves for their - own profit of other men's works still subject to copyright and - entitled to protection."[583] - -In the case of Dr. Brewer's "Guide to Science,"[584] Page Wood, V. C., -said: - - "In publishing a work in the form of question and answer on a - variety of scientific subjects the defendant had a right to look - to all those books which were unprotected by copyright, and to - make such use of them as he thought fit by turning them into - questions and answers. He had also a further right if he found a - work like Dr. Brewer's, and perusing it was struck by seeing--as - I think has been the case in the present instance--that the - author had been led up to particular questions and answers by the - perusal of some other work to have recourse himself to the same - work, although possibly he would not have thought of doing so but - for the perusal of the plaintiff's book.... It would also be a - legitimate use of a work of this description if the author of a - subsequent work, after getting his own work with great pains and - labour into a shape approximating to what he considered a perfect - shape, should look through the earlier work to see whether it - contained any heads which he had forgotten."[585] - -In _Hotten_ v. _Arthur_[586] the same judge held that the defendant -had infringed the plaintiff's descriptive catalogue of books for -sale: - - "The only fair use you can make of the work of another of this - kind is where you take a number of such works, catalogues, - dictionaries, digests, &c., and look over them all, and then - compile an original work of your own founded on the information - you have extracted from each and all of them: but it is of vital - importance that such new work shall have no mere copying, no - merely colourable alterations, no blind repetition of obvious - errors." - -In _Kelly_ v. _Morris_,[587] a directory case, there is another clear -dictum from the same judge: - - "In the case of a dictionary, map, guide-book, or directory, when - there are certain common objects of information which must, if - described correctly, be described in the same words, a subsequent - compiler is bound to set about doing for himself that which the - first compiler has done. In case of a road-book he must count the - milestones for himself. In the case of a map of a newly-discovered - island he must go through the whole process of triangulation - just as if he had never seen any former map; and generally he - is not entitled to take one word of the information previously - published without independently working out the matter for himself - so as to arrive at the same result from the same common sources - of information, and the only use he can legitimately make of a - previous publication is to verify his own calculations and results - when obtained. So in the present case the defendant could not take - a single line of the plaintiff's directory for the purpose of - saving himself labour and trouble in getting his information.... - What he has done has been just to copy the plaintiff's book and - then send out canvassers to see if the information so copied - was correct.... The work of the defendant has clearly not been - compiled by the legitimate application of independent personal - labour."[588] - -In _Scott_ v. _Stanford_,[589] Page Wood, V. C., held that certain -tables of statistical returns in the coal market had been pirated. In -his judgment he said: - - "The defendant, after collecting the information for himself, - might have checked his results by the plaintiff's tables, but that - is a widely different thing from this wholesale extraction of the - vital part of his work. No man is entitled to avail himself of the - previous labours of another for the purpose of conveying to the - public the same information, although he may append additional - information to that already published." - -In _Morris_ v. _Ashbee_,[590] Giffard, V. C., held that the copyright in -a business directory had been infringed in so far as the compilation -and arrangement of the advertisements and names of traders were taken -from the plaintiff's directory. In giving judgment he commented on -_Kelly_ v. _Morris_,[591] pointing out that the decision in that case -was not based solely on the fact that the information was reprinted -bodily by the defendants and then verified when possible: - - "The decree is general in its terms, following _Lewis_ v. - _Fullarton_,[592] and the substance of the judgment is that in a - case such as this no one has a right to take the results of the - labour and expense incurred by another for the purposes of a rival - publication, and thereby save himself the expense and labour of - working out and arriving at these results by some independent - road." - -In reference to the case before him the Vice-Chancellor said: - - "It is plain that it could not be lawful for the defendants - simply to cut the slips which they have cut from the plaintiff's - directory and insert them in theirs. Can it be lawful to do so - because in addition to doing this they sent persons with the slips - to ascertain their correctness? I say, clearly not. Then, again, - would their acts be rendered lawful because they got payment and - authority[593] for the insertion of the names from each individual - whose name appeared in the slips? And to this again I answer, - clearly not. They had no right to make the results arrived at by - the plaintiff the foundation of their work or any material part of - it, and this they have done."[594] - -In _Morris_ v. _Wright_,[595] another case of alleged infringement of -the same business directory, Giffard, L. J., distinguished it from -_Kelly_ v. _Morris_[596] and _Morris_ v. _Ashbee_,[597] inasmuch as -the plaintiff's work had only been used by the defendant as a guide to -original sources. He held that there was no infringement. Referring -to the passage quoted above from the judgment of Page Wood, V. C., in -_Kelly_ v. _Morris_,[598] he said: - - "This passage does not mean that a subsequent compiler may not - look into the book for the purpose of ascertaining whether it was - worth his while to call upon that person or not, but it means that - he may not take that particular slip and show that to the person - and get his authority as to putting that particular slip in."[599] - -So also quotations from and references to previous authors must not be -taken bodily from a rival work. They may be used as a guide and as a -guide only. Lord Hatherley, L. C., in _Pike_ v. _Nicholas_,[600] a case -of rival historical works on the same subject, said: - - "Although the defendant might have been led to look more minutely - into _Prichard_ than he otherwise would have done by referring - to the plaintiffs work, still the plaintiff could not say, 'I, - having found these passages in _Prichard_, will prohibit all the - world who may find the same passages from making use of them.' - The moment he had given that degree of light to the defendant - which led him to refer to that common source, if the defendant did - really and _bonâ fide_ look at that common source, he did all that - this Court required him to do. He must not simply copy the passage - from the plaintiffs book, but, having been put on to the track, - and having looked at that particular part of the book which the - plaintiff led him to, he was entitled to make use of every passage - from that author which the plaintiff had made use of."[601] - -In this case the quotation was proved to have been taken directly from -the plaintiff's work, but this was considered to be so small a taking -that the bill was dismissed, though without costs, the Court being -satisfied "that the book of the defendant was his own composition in -this sense, that wherever he got the materials from they were worked -up by him into his own language."[602] - -It is no excuse for piracy to say that with a little labour the -copyist could have produced identically the same result.[603] The fact -that the result may be identical is a reason for not making a new -book, but it is no reason for copying another's book. - -_Work with a Different Object._--An author is much less restricted in -the use which he may make of a previously published copyright book if -such book is of an entirely different nature or has a different scope -or object from his own work. Considerable portions may then be taken -for the purpose of comment, criticism, or illustration. Lord Eldon -suggested in one case[604] that a copyright map might be taken bodily -for the purpose of insertion in a book giving an historical account -of all the different maps of a particular district. In _Bradbury_ -v. _Hotten_,[605] Kelly, C. B., suggested that a picture might be -reproduced amongst a large collection published for an entirely -different object from that which the first publisher had in view. - - "We must consider in each case the intent of the copyist and the - nature of the work. A traveller publishes a book of travels about - some distant country like China. Amongst other things he describes - some mode of preparing food in use there. Then the compiler of a - cookery book republishes the description. No one would say that - was a piracy. So, again, an author publishes a history illustrated - with woodcuts of the heads of kings, and another person writing - another history of some other country finds occasion to copy one - of these woodcuts. That again would not be a piracy."[606] - -These _obiter dicta_ illustrate sufficiently well the distinction -between taking for a rival work and taking for an entirely different -object; it is probable, however, that some of them go too far and -tend to follow the mistake of the older view of infringement in -looking more to the value of the work done by the plagiarist than to -the value of the material taken. As authoritative _dicta_ they must, -therefore, be accepted with caution. The best test of infringement -or no infringement in a taking of this kind is to inquire whether -the subsequent work by reason of the taking provides a substitute -for the whole or any substantial part of the prior publication. In -_Bradbury_ v. _Hotten_,[607] nine cartoons, illustrative of the career -of Napoleon III., were published in _Punch_ in nine several weekly -numbers. The defendants published a volume entitled "Story of the -Life of Napoleon, as told by popular Caricaturists of the last thirty -years," which contained among numerous other illustrations taken from -French and English comic journals the nine cartoons first produced -in _Punch_. This was held to be an infringement of the copyright in -_Punch_. In _Nicols_ v. _Pitman_[608] the defendant published in an -educational work for the purpose of instruction in shorthand writing -a lecture delivered by the plaintiff on "The Dog as the Friend of -Man." The Court held there was an infringement, because although the -lecture was reproduced in shorthand characters, it might by those -who could read shorthand be reasonably used as a substitute for the -lecture printed in ordinary characters. A compiler of an encyclopædia -or similar work would probably be allowed to quote to a certain -extent from copyright monographs, but this must not be carried to -such an extent as to supersede the original work.[609] Several cases -have been before the Courts on the verbatim copying of law reports -in whole or in part into legal treatises of various kinds. The -collection of all the reports on a particular branch of law such as -"Poor Law"[610] or "Registration of Voters,[611] is an infringement -of copyright if they are copied verbatim from previously published -copyright reports. This will be so even although they are collected -from the reports of many different reporters.[612] In _Sweet_ v. -_Benning_,[613] a digest compiled by taking verbatim the head notes -from copyright law reports and arranging them under appropriate titles -was held to be an illegal publication, the Court being of opinion -that the defendant had been guilty of an abuse of the fair right of -extract, which the law allows for the purpose of comment, criticism, -or illustration. No doubt in text-books large portions of the head -notes, arguments of counsel, and judgments may be taken verbatim. -In an ordinary legal text-book it would require a very free use of -verbatim quotation to found the necessary argument that the text-book -provided even to the smallest extent a substitute for the original -reports. A more difficult question arises where volumes of leading -cases are published, the cases being reproduced verbatim from the -original reports but with extensive notes and comment. In _Saunders_ -v. _Smith_,[614] the Court refused to decide whether "Smith's Leading -Cases" constituted an infringement of the original reports, judgment -going for the defendants on the ground of acquiescence. In the Irish -case of _Hodges_ v. _Welsh_[615] a similar problem was suggested but -not decided. The better view probably is that such a wholesale taking -is an infringement of the copyright of the original reporters. - -_Extract for Purpose of Criticism._--Lord Eldon, in _Mawman_ v. -_Tegg_,[616 says: - - "Quotation is necessary for the purpose of reviewing, and - quotation for such a purpose is not to have the appellation of - piracy affixed to it; but quotation may be carried to the extent - of manifesting piratical intention." - -Considerable quotation may be made for the _bonâ fide_ purpose of -criticising a copyright book;[617] in one case[618] nearly a quarter -of a controversial article in a magazine was quoted in a reply -thereto published in another magazine, and the Court held that this -constituted no infringement, as the extracts were clearly inserted -for the purpose of criticism and argument. The question is whether so -much of the original work is extracted that the review substantially -communicates the same knowledge as the book reviewed.[619] Thus in -_Campbell_ v. _Scott_,[620] the defendant published "The Book of -Poets" containing, _inter alia_, an essay and biographical notice of -the poet Campbell, and, as the defendant said, by way of illustrating -the poet's works, a large number of his poems and extracts therefrom -were appended to the biographical notice without any particular -observations in the way of notes to individual pieces or extracts. -This was clearly an infringement of the poet's copyright. In a similar -case, _Smith_ v. _Chatto_,[621] the defendants published a book -entitled "Thackerayana." It purported to be a critical essay on the -life and works of Thackeray, and contained extensive quotations from -his writings, prefaced and interspersed with comments by the writer of -the book. Hall, V. C., held in fact that the defendants had inserted -the extracts for the purpose of increasing and enhancing the value of -their book, and that they had therefore infringed the copyright in -Thackeray's works. - -_Improvement or Addition of New Matter no Excuse._--In the earlier -cases of taking material from a rival publication if it was shown -to have been greatly improved and added to, this was accepted as an -excuse for the piracy, on the ground that a new and more useful work -had been given to the public. Thus in _Sayre_ v. _Moore_[622] Lord -Mansfield said: - - "If an erroneous chart be made, God forbid it should not be - corrected even in a small degree if it thereby become more - serviceable and useful for the purposes to which it is applied." - -In _Cary_ v. _Kearsley_,[623] Lord Ellenborough said: - - "While I shall think myself bound to secure every man in the - enjoyment of his copyright, one must not put manacles on science." - -In _Martin_ v. _Wright_,[624] Shadwell, V. C., says: - - "Any person may copy and publish the whole of a literary - composition provided he writes notes upon it so as to present it - to the public connected with matter of his own." - -The theory of these early cases on infringement seems to have -been--colourable alteration is not to be allowed, but no check must -be put on the taking of material when it is taken _bonâ fide_ in the -interests of scientific or literary knowledge. Gradually, however, -the Courts in questions of infringement came to look more to the -interests of the author than to those of the public, and regarded the -law of copyright more as a means of securing rights of property to -the individual than as an unnatural monopoly created for the purpose -of encouraging and developing literary effort. Thus in _D'Almaine_ v. -_Boosey_,[625] in 1835, it was held to be an infringement to publish -the music of an opera in the form of waltzes and quadrilles, and this -notwithstanding that these waltzes and quadrilles would, if taken from -the music of a non-copyright opera, have been protected as original -works.[626] Since then many cases have followed on the same lines, -and no addition, correction, or improvement will now be accepted as -an excuse for taking a material part of a copyright publication.[627] -But although improvement and addition is no excuse for taking a -substantial portion of another author's work, the fact that there -has been such improvement and addition is not to be entirely ignored -in questions of infringement. It may be an important factor in -determining whether or not there has been a taking of a substantial -part.[628] We have seen that to determine that question the two -works must be taken as a whole and their relation to one another -considered, and particularly the relative value of the material -taken.[629] - -_Dramatization of a Novel._--The representation on the stage of -a dramatized version of a copyright novel is not in itself an -infringement of copyright in such novel, since copyright only -prohibits the reproduction of copies, and representation on the stage -does not necessarily imply that a copy of the whole or any material -part of the novel has been made.[630] But if in dramatizing any -substantial passages are taken from the novel, it is an infringement -of copyright to print and publish the drama,[631] and in _Warne_ -v. _Seebohm_[632] Stirling, J., held that the making of four -manuscript or typewritten copies of a drama taken from a copyright -novel--one for the Lord Chamberlain and the other three for use in -representation--constituted an infringement of the copyright in the -novel. In this case, as in _Tinsley_ v. _Lacy_,[633] considerable -passages in the play had been extracted verbatim from the novel. - -Whether if no actual sentences be taken it is an infringement of -copyright to take the characters, the sequence of events, and scenes, -in short, the plot, is doubtful. In _Warne_ v. _Seebohm_ it was -suggested by Stirling, J., in his judgment, that a novel might be -lawfully dramatized if a few copies of the novel were purchased and a -drama compiled therefrom by cutting out and pasting in the passages -which it was thought desirable to take. This, however, would involve a -copying of the arrangement of scenes and events, and it is suggested -that even that might be an infringement. - -_Abridgments._--Probably an abridgment in the ordinary sense of the -word, that is, the reproduction of a book in a shorter form, retaining -the general scheme and arrangement, and the sequence of ideas, would -now be held to be an infringement.[634] In the earlier cases, which -tend to excuse a taking by reason of the utility of additional work -bestowed upon the material taken, an abridgment is recognised as -a lawful use of a copyright book. In 1740 Lord Hardwicke, L. C., in -dealing with an alleged abridgment of Sir Matthew Hale's _Historia -Placitorum Coronæ_,[635] said: - - "Where books are colourably shortened only they are undoubtedly - within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, and are a mere - evasion of the statute and cannot be called an abridgment. But - this must not be carried so far as to restrain persons from - making a real and fair abridgment, for abridgments may with great - propriety be called a new book, because not only the paper and - print but the invention, judgment, and learning of the author is - shown in them, and in many cases are extremely useful though in - some instances prejudicial by mistaking and curtailing the sense - of an author." - -It will be noticed how completely this argument is founded on the -idea that an author may take the materials of another so long as he -sufficiently modifies it by such addition, extraction, or correction -as to give it the character of a new work. It is a good argument in -favour of a plaintiff who has dealt with a non-copyright work and -desires protection, but it would not now be considered a sound answer -to a charge of infringement. Since _Gyles_ v. _Wilcox_[636] it seems -to have been accepted as law that what was called a fair abridgment -would be allowed.[637] In _Dodsley_ v. _Kinnersley_[638] the Court -went so far as to admit as a fair abridgment a magazine article -containing about one-tenth of Dr. Johnson's "Prince of Abyssinia." -Selections were, it appears, taken and reproduced verbatim. The -same doctrine as to abridgments was repeated in _D'Almaine_ v. -_Boosey_:[639] - - "It is a nice question what shall be deemed such a modification - of an original work as shall absorb the merit of the original in - the new composition. No doubt such a modification may be allowed - in some cases, as in that of an abridgment or digest. Such - publications are in their nature original. Their compiler intends - to make of them a new use, not that which the author proposed to - make. Digests are of great use to practical men, though not so, - comparatively speaking, to students. The same may be said of an - abridgment of any study, but it must be a _bonâ fide_ abridgment, - because if it contains many chapters of the original work or such - as made that work most saleable, the maker of the abridgment - commits a piracy."[640] - -When the view as to plagiarism being excusable on account of its -utility began to alter, and the Courts began to look more to what -was taken and the value of it than to what labour was expended on it -afterwards, the view taken of abridgments began to change too. In -1844 one of Dickens' Christmas stories was abridged evidently much in -the same way as Dr. Johnson's tale in _Dodsley_ v. _Kinnersley_.[641] -Knight Bruce, V. C., held that there was an infringement:[642] - - "The defendant has printed and published a novel, of which - fable, persons, names, and characters of persons, the age, time, - country, and scene are exactly the same, the style of language in - which the story is told is in many instances identical, in all - similar, except where certain alterations by way of extension or - substitution have been made, as to which whether they improve or - do not improve upon the original composition it is not necessary - for me to express any opinion. Now this has been said to be an - abridgment, and as an abridgment to be protected. I am not aware - that one man has the right to abridge the works of another. On - the other hand, I do not mean to say that there may not be an - abridgment which may be lawful, which may be protected; but to - say that one man has the right to abridge and so publish in an - abridged form the work of another without more is going much - beyond my notion of what the law of this country is." - -In 1864 Lord Hatherley, then Sir William Page Wood, said:[643] - - "The Court has gone far enough in the direction of sanctioning - fair abridgments; and it is difficult to acquiesce in the reason - sometimes given that the compiler of an abridgment is a benefactor - to mankind by assisting in the diffusion of knowledge." - -_Translations._--There are two recent decisions in India to the effect -that the translation of an English book into an Indian language is -not an infringement of the author's copyright.[644] If we are to -be guided by the general principles of the law of copyright now -accepted by our Courts, I think these Indian decisions must be held -to be wrong. A translation takes everything in a book but the actual -words; it takes the selection of material and its arrangement, and is -certainly a very material taking of the work and labours of another. -The translator is making a profit from the author's work by using it -in a manner in which the author might have himself used it and made -a similar profit. The only real answer which the translator has is -that he has expended a great deal of skilled labour in putting the -author's book into another form. This might have been a defence fifty -years ago, but I do not think it is a good defence now. In England -there is no direct decision; although there are several _obiter -dicta_ to the effect that a translation is not an infringement. In -_Burnett_ v. _Chetwood_,[645] in 1720, there is a _dictum_ of Lord -Chancellor Macclesfield, in which he expressed his opinion that a -translation might not be within the prohibition of the Act (8 Anne -c. 19), "on account that the translator had bestowed his pains upon -it." In _Millar_ v. _Taylor_,[646] Yates, J., and in _Prince Albert_ -v. _Strange_,[647] Knight Bruce, V. C., suggest that a translation -is not an infringement. In _Wyatt_ v. _Barnard_[648] it was held -that a translation would be protected as a new work, but it does not -follow that it is not an infringement of an old one. I think that -these English _dicta_ are practically useless as authorities, since -it cannot now be maintained that the translator will be permitted to -take the work of an original author merely because he "bestows his -pains upon it." In _Murray_ v. _Bogue_,[649] Kindersley, V. C., said -that if an English book were translated into a foreign language and -then retranslated into English without authority such translation -would be an infringement of the original work. If this is so, it is -difficult to see why the translation into the foreign language is not -also an infringement if done without authority. The translation and -the retranslation appear to be exactly on the same footing, both take -the substance of the book, the plot, the arrangement, the selection of -material; neither takes the author's words. If it is said that one -competes with the original which the other does not, the answer is -that it is no defence to say that an infringement is made for a wholly -different market from that which the original commands.[650] An author -is entitled not only to the uses which he does make of his work, but -also to the uses which he might make of it. - -=Licence.=--A licence in writing[651] granted by the plaintiff to -the defendant is a good defence to an action for infringement. The -licence need not be written or signed by the proprietor himself. It -may be granted by an agent having authority.[652] It would seem that -a licence might be valid without being signed by any one. The onus -of proving a written licence lies upon the defendant in an action. -An assignee of the copyright is not bound by the licence granted by -his assignor, unless at the date of assignment he has notice of the -licence.[653] A licence, unlike an assignment, may be given before -the copyright has come into existence, or even before the work is -composed.[654] A licence from the Dramatic Authors' Society was held -to include the dramas composed by the members of the society after the -date of the licence.[655] - -If an oral licensor were to sue in respect of acts done by the -defendant under his oral licence, the plaintiff's conduct would -probably be considered fraudulent, with the result that he would -be refused an injunction, get nominal damages, and have to pay the -defendant's costs.[656] - -It need hardly be said that when the use for which a book is published -and sold includes a copying of the whole or part of it, such copying -is not an infringement, even although no express consent in writing -is obtained from the author, for instance, in the case of copy-books, -school maps, precedents of conveyancing. This, however, does not -entitle any one who uses the book to make a larger use of it in the -way of multiplying copies than that which must be presumed from the -nature of the publication.[657] - -It has been suggested that a foreigner resident abroad, who had -obtained a copyright in the United Kingdom, could grant an oral -licence, if by the law of copyright in his own country an oral licence -would be valid.[658] I do not think this is sound. - -=Abandonment.=--Copyright may be abandoned by giving a general -licence to print. Probably, however, this could only be done by some -declaration in writing.[659] The Common Law right in an unpublished -manuscript might be abandoned by leaving it for a long time in the -hands of others.[660] Copyright would not be lost or abandoned by the -fact of a book, during the life of the author, being allowed to remain -out of print.[661] - -=Acquiescence and Delay.=--This is no ground of defence, unless in -the view of the Court it would make it a fraud afterwards to insist -on the legal right. It would seem that the defendant must show some -act on the part of the plaintiff inducing the defendant to infringe -or continue an infringement of the copyright.[662] At the best, -the defence is only an equitable one, and will avail no more than -to prevent the plaintiff from getting an injunction or substantial -damages, and as the costs are always in the discretion of the Court, -he might be ordered to pay the defendant's costs. - -=Provision against the Suppression of Books.=--After the death of an -author, if the proprietor of his published work refuses to republish -it, and the book is thereby withheld from the public, the Judicial -Committee of the Privy Council may, on complaint, grant a licence to -the complainant to publish such book on such conditions as they may -think fit.[663] There is no record of any attempt to put in force the -provisions of this section. - - - - -CHAPTER V - -PERFORMING RIGHTS - - -SECTION I.--NATURE OF PERFORMING RIGHT. - -As copyright is the exclusive right of making copies of a book, so -performing right is the exclusive right of representing or performing -in public dramatic or musical works. In a dramatic or musical work, -the two rights--the copyright and the performing right--exist side -by side; but they are quite distinct from one another, and may pass -into different hands. The copyright can only be infringed by copying, -the performing right by representation or performance. It is no -infringement to dramatize and represent on the stage a copyright -novel, since the only exclusive right as to non-dramatic work is the -multiplication of copies;[664] but a drama on which a novel has been -founded may be infringed by another drama taken from the novel.[665] -A writes and publishes a novel. He then dramatizes it, but does not -publish the drama. B represents a drama founded on the novel. Such a -representation is no infringement either of A's drama[666] or of his -novel. It makes no difference even if A has published his drama.[667] -In dramatizing a copyright novel, however, the making of a single -copy of the drama may be an infringement of the copyright in the -novel.[668] It is no infringement of performing right to print and -publish as a book a play which has been publicly performed,[669] but -it may be an infringement of the common law right in the MS.,[670] or -the statutory copyright in the book if already printed and published, -or it may be a breach of implied contract.[671] If a dramatic piece -or musical composition is first published as a book, this does not -take away the performing right. This was decided in _Chappell_ v. -_Boosey_[672] in respect of music, and is equally applicable to -dramatic work. Conversely the representation or performance of a -dramatic piece or musical composition in public does not deprive -the author of his common law right to publish as a book, or of -his copyright when he so publishes.[673] Performing right extends -throughout the British dominions.[674] - - -SECTION II.--PERFORMING RIGHT AT COMMON LAW. - -It is doubtful whether there ever was any performing right at common -law. The only case from which it could be gathered that there was is -_Morris_ v. _Kelly_,[675] where an injunction was granted by Lord -Eldon restraining the performance of a comedy. The play was apparently -in manuscript, but it does not appear whether it had been performed -or not. The ground of the decision is very uncertain. From the fact -that the Lord Chancellor asked for proof that the assignment was in -writing, it might almost appear that protection was given under the -statute of Anne, which would certainly have been unsound. The decision -may also have been on the ground of common law right in unpublished -manuscript, _i. e._ the right to prevent any one but the owner from -interfering with it in any way, or it may have been on the ground of -breach of implied contract. Altogether the decision is unsatisfactory; -the application seems to have been _ex parte_, and the law hardly to -have been considered, so that it is impossible to base any definite -proposition of law on the case. On the other hand Erie, C. J., stated -in the course of the argument in _Marsh_ v. _Conquest_,[676] that -there was no performing right at common law. For his authority, -however, he cites _Murray_ v. _Elliston_,[677] which is hardly -sufficient to support the proposition. In _Murray_ v. _Elliston_ -a tragedy by Lord Byron was printed and published for sale. The -defendants abridged it and represented it on the stage in the abridged -form. It was argued for the defendant that the tragedy having been -printed and published as a book, must depend for protection entirely -on the statute of Anne in accordance with the decision in _Donaldson_ -v. _Beckett_.[678] The statute of Anne gave no performing right, and -therefore there was no protection. The Court gave judgment for the -defendant, but the ground of their judgment is not quite clear. Some -stress seems to be laid on the fact that the tragedy was abridged, and -it is therefore left doubtful whether the judges would have considered -the representation of an unabridged version to be an infringement -of the plaintiff's rights. In either view it is not a decision that -there was no performing right at common law. Another case which may be -relied on for the contention against performing right at common law is -_Coleman_ v. _Wathen_,[679] but on examination it will be seen that -all that case decides is that the statute of Anne gave no performing -right, and that representation on the stage was not an infringement of -copyright. - -It is submitted that the history of the law of performing right -is this: At common law there was no performing right in the -proper sense of the term, but an unpublished manuscript was -protected from performance as from any other invasion of the -author's exclusive right to it. If it was performed on the stage -without being published as a book, there would be a remedy on -breach of implied contract, the public only being admitted for -the purpose of hearing the performance. Once, however, it was -published as a book, all exclusive right of performance was gone. -The statute of Anne gave no performing right, and performing -right proper was first created by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15. This -statute and 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 govern the performing right in -dramatic pieces. The performing right in musical compositions -is governed by these two Acts, as modified by the Copyright -(Musical Compositions) Acts of 1882 and 1888. - - -SECTION III.--WHAT IS A DRAMATIC WORK. - -The subject of dramatic performing right must be-- - - 1. An original composition. - 2. Of a dramatic nature. - -The amount of original composition required is probably the same as in -a literary work claiming the protection of the Copyright Act, 1842, as -a "book." As has been seen the standard is extremely low, no literary -merit or great skill being essential.[680] Adaptations, translations, -and the like, are protected _quoad_ their transformation.[681] - -As to what amount of dramatic element is required is not clear from -the statutes, and not much clearer from the decisions. It is now well -decided that in order to secure a performing right there must be some -dramatic element. That is to say, one cannot compose a non-dramatic -work, and after publishing it in its non-dramatic form, claim the -exclusive right to represent the non-dramatic work on the stage in -dramatic form.[682] But the difficulty is to define what is "dramatic -form." The dramatic works protected by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 are "any -tragedy, comedy, play, opera, farce, or any other dramatic piece or -entertainment." In 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 "dramatic piece" is defined -as including every tragedy, comedy, play, opera, farce, or other -scenic, musical, or dramatic entertainment. Neither definition is -very satisfactory. In _Lee_ v. _Simpson_[683] it was held that an -introduction to a pantomime, being the only written part, and intended -to be followed by "comic business," was a dramatic piece. This case -as reported, however, is of little assistance, as it does not show -what the exact nature of the "introduction" was, and the judgment of -the Court does not contain any definition of a dramatic piece. In -_Russell_ v. _Smith_[684] the question was more carefully considered. -The work in which a performing right was claimed was a song called -"The Ship on Fire." It was founded on the loss of _The Kent_ by fire -in the Bay of Biscay. According to the judgment-- - - "It represents a storm at sea, the burning of the ship, and an - escape by boat to another ship, and so a safe return to land. It - moves terror and pity and sympathy, by presenting danger, and - despair, and joy, and maternal and conjugal affection. A witness - of great experience in publishing music deposed that this was - considered a dramatic song." - -The Court held that it was a "dramatic piece." Lord Denman, C. J., -said: - - "The nature of the production places it rather in the - representative than the narrative class of poetry, according to - Lord Bacon's division of dramatic from epic; and the evidence - states it to be known as dramatic among those who are conversant - with such things. The interpretative clause of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, - sec. 2, declares that 'dramatic piece' within the Act includes - 'tragedy, comedy, play, opera, farce, or any other scenic, - musical, or dramatic entertainment.' These words comprehend any - piece which could be called dramatic in its widest sense, any - piece which on its being presented by any performer to an audience - would produce the emotions which are the purpose of the regular - drama, and which constitute the entertainment of the audience." - -In _Clark_ v. _Bishop_[685] an original song, "Come to Peckham Rye," -was composed and set to an old air. It was sung at music halls with -appropriate character dress, gesture, and expression. The Court were -of opinion that it was a dramatic piece, within the meaning of 5 & 6 -Vict. c. 45. Kelly, C. B., said: - - "The plaintiff, by his powers of singing, acting, and - characterisation, had made this song a thing of value, not as - a song merely, but as acted by him in character, and so as a - dramatic piece." - -In _Wall_ v. _Taylor_[686] it was suggested that by reason of the -interpretation clause in 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, sec. 2, every musical -entertainment whatsoever was a "dramatic piece," but Brett, M. R., -refused to accept this view. In _Roberts_ v. _Bignell_,[687] a very -imperfectly reported case, a divisional court (Day and Wills, JJ.) -held that a music hall song, "Oh, Jenny Dear!" the exact nature of -which is not apparent, was a "dramatic piece." The leading case on -this subject is now _Fuller_ v. _Blackpool Winter Gardens_,[688] and -in this the doctrine which seemed to have been growing up that every -literary production with the least dramatic flavour was a dramatic -piece received a check. The subject of this action was a popular music -hall song called "Daisy Bell." The song was sung in character costume, -and the inference to be drawn from the song itself and from the -evidence was that it was a composition intended for the stage either -of the theatre or of music halls. The Court of Appeal, sustaining the -judgment of Kennedy, J., held that the song was not a dramatic piece. -Lord Esher, M. R., said: - - "The fact that it is sung in costume does not make it a dramatic - piece. If the dress of the singer could have that operation, - the singer and not the author of the song would be the person - who caused it to be a dramatic piece. The same may be said of - the manner in which the singer treats the song. The question - must be what was the character of the composition when it was - first written and published. I can quite understand that it is - possible that a thing to be performed by one person only may be a - dramatic piece. But whether the composition is to be sung by one - or more persons, if a song is sung, and only a song, there is no - performance of a dramatic piece." - -A. L. Smith, L. J., after reviewing the previous cases, says: - - "It is not necessary to determine whether each of these cases was - rightly decided or whether the reasons given in each for holding - the song to be a dramatic piece are satisfactory. Every case must - depend upon its own attendant circumstances. In each case it is - a question of fact. I think that to constitute a song a dramatic - piece it must be such a song that for its proper representation, - acting, and possibly scenery, formed a necessary ingredient, - and that if neither of these be a requisite to the efficient - representation of the song it is not a dramatic piece. It is an - entire misnomer to call a mere common, ordinary, music-hall song, - which required neither acting nor scenery for its production, a - dramatic piece, for it is in truth nothing of the kind." - -The result then seems to be that "dramatic" must not be used in -the widest sense of the term as suggested by Lord Denman, C. J., in -_Russell_ v. _Smith_,[689] and that the test is not that of dramatic -or epic in the sense in which Lord Bacon applies the words to poetry. -There must be more than the dramatic flavour, there must be the -dramatic form; that is to say, the work must be so constructed as -to be obviously intended for reproduction by means of acting with -scenic effect. This test will apply equally to non-musical as to -musical works. A case in point is that of the novel in _Toole_ v. -_Young_.[690] The facts as stated in the judgment are: - - "that Mr. Hollingshead wrote a story which he published in a work - called _Good Words_, and having in his mind at the time he wrote - and published it the intention of afterwards dramatizing the - story, he composed it very much of a dramatic character." - -Yet it was held that it was no infringement of the author's right to -put this novel into dramatic form and represent it on the stage. If -the novel could have been considered a dramatic piece on account of -its "dramatic character," it ought to have been protected against the -performance of an adaptation. Mr. Scrutton in his book on copyright -considers that "the dramatic character consists in the representative -as opposed to the narrative element:" but this seems rather a return -to the older theory in _Russell_ v. _Smith_[691] and contrary to -_Fuller_ v. _Blackpool Winter Gardens_.[692] For instance, a poem, -song, or piece for recitation may be representative in that it depicts -action and dialogue rather than narrates events: this according to -_Russell_ v. _Smith_[693] would constitute it a "dramatic piece," but -according to _Fuller_ v. _Blackpool Winter Gardens_[694] we must find -not only the "representative element" but an element which requires -acting in order to represent it adequately.[695] - - -SECTION IV.--WHAT DRAMATIC WORKS ARE PROTECTED: DURATION OF PROTECTION. - -It has been suggested by some writers that there is no statutory -protection of performing rights until first representation in -public.[696] It has also been suggested that the duration of -performing right is in every case for the period laid down by 5 & 6 -Vict. c. 45, _i. e._ forty-two years from first performance or the -author's life plus seven years. It is difficult to concur in these -views, which seem to imply that 5 & 6 Vict. has taken away from the -dramatic author certain rights given to him by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15. - -The law appears to stand thus. Before the statute of 3 and 4 Will. -IV. c. 15 there was no statutory performing right. Whether there was -a common law performing right _quære_.[697] By the Act of 3 & 4 Will. -IV. c. 15 the author of a dramatic piece not printed and published in -book form is given a perpetual performing right. This presumably dates -from the composition of the dramatic piece. If the dramatic piece is -printed and published as a book, the protection is then limited to -twenty-eight years from publication or for the life of the author, -whichever be the longer period. In neither case is the performing -right dependent for its existence on public performance.[698] Then -comes the Act of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, which enacts in section 20-- - - "that the provisions of the said Act of His late Majesty (3 - & 4 Will. IV. c. 15) and of this Act shall apply to musical - compositions, and that the sole liberty of representing or - performing or causing or permitting to be represented or performed - any dramatic piece or musical composition shall endure and be the - property of the author thereof and his assigns for the term in - this Act provided for the duration of copyright in books; and the - provisions hereinbefore enacted in respect of the property of such - copyright and of registering the same shall apply to the liberty - of representing or performing any dramatic piece or musical - composition as if the same were herein expressly re-enacted - and applied thereto save and except that the first public - representation or performance of any dramatic piece or musical - composition shall be deemed equivalent in the construction of this - Act to the first publication of any book." - -As regards dramatic pieces which have been publicly performed it -is clear that the Act of Victoria gives them protection from that -date for forty-two years, or for the life of the author and seven -years.[699] But does 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 take away the protection -given by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 to such dramatic pieces as do not -come within the provisions of the later statute, _i. e._ unperformed -dramatic pieces? It is submitted that it does not, and this appears -to be the view of Hawkins, J., in _Reichardt_ v. _Sapte_,[700] the -only decision on the point. In that case A wrote a dramatic piece, B -subsequently wrote one very similar: B's drama was first performed, -and a few days afterwards A's drama was performed. In an action by -B against A for infringement of performing right, Hawkins, J., held -that A had acquired his performing right under 3 & 4 Will. IV. when he -wrote his drama. He says: - - "In none of the enactments in 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 will be - found anything which prejudicially affects the right of sole - representation conferred by the statute of 3 & 4 Will IV. c. 15. - The first production of a dramatic piece mentioned in section 20 - of the statute of Victoria confers no priority upon the first - producer, nor does it confer a title to the sole liberty of - representation. That is conferred by the statute 3 & 4 Will. IV. - c. 15 upon the author or his assignee: it[701] only fixes the - first production as the point from which (if entitled to it) - the endurance of the sole liberty of representation is to be - calculated." - -What Hawkins, J., decided was that there is a vested statutory interest -in a dramatic piece immediately it is composed, and although it is not -quite clear from his judgment, it seems necessarily to follow that the -whole rights and remedies given by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 still attach -immediately on composition, and that there is nothing in 5 & 6 Vict. -to divest the author of that right. When a dramatic work is performed, -no doubt the protection to performing right is restricted as well as -extended to the period given by 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, _i. e._ forty-two -years from the date of first performance, or life and seven years: but -as regards unperformed works, it is submitted that the performing right -is given by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 on composition, and is perpetual if -the work be not printed and published as a book within the British -dominions, or if it be printed and published as a book, then for -forty-two years from the date of publication as a book, or for the -author's life and seven years. - -Extremely difficult questions may arise as regards performing rights -when a dramatic or musical work has been published as a book or -publicly performed outside the British dominions before the first -publication or the first public performance within the British -dominions. - -Section 19 of 7 & 8 Vict. c. 12, provides: - - "That neither the author of any book, nor the author or - composer of any Dramatic Piece or Musical Composition ... which - shall, after the passing of this Act, be first published out - of Her Majesty's Dominions, shall have any copyright therein - respectively, or any exclusive right to the public representation - or performance thereof, otherwise than such, if any, as he may - become entitled to under this Act."[702] - -The whole difficulty lies in the meaning of the words "first -published" as applied to the performing right. In _Boucicault_ v. -_Delafield_,[703] and _Boucicault_ v. _Chatterton_,[704] it was held -that when an unpublished play was first performed outside the British -dominions the performing right in this country was extinguished. "First -published" was held to include the "first performance" of a drama. -This, however, only provides for one possible contingency. As the -literary exchange with America, with which we have no international -convention, is becoming larger every year, it may be useful to consider -some of the other contingencies which may arise, and the difficulties -of which are not yet judicially solved. The cases suggested are in -connexion with the United States, but apply equally to any foreign -country, except in so far as rights may be acquired under International -Convention. - -_Dramatic or Musical Work unpublished, first performed in -America._--This has been decided as above. The performing right in -this country is lost. - -_Dramatic or Musical Work first published in America, subsequently -first performed within the British Dominions._--This problem is -not solved by the above cases. The alternative views are that -"publication" in the section means: (i) a putting before the public in -any form, whether by representation or in print, or (ii) as regards -copyright, a publication in print, as regards performing right, a -publication by representation. I am inclined to think that the second -alternative is the correct one, and that the performing right in this -country is not lost. The contrary, however, seems to have been assumed -in _Boucicault_ v. _Chatterton_,[705] both by the bench and bar. - -_Dramatic or Musical Work first published in the British Dominions, -subsequently first performed in America._--This problem depends on -the same two alternatives as the last. I therefore think that the -performing right here would be lost, even although there was first -publication as a book within the British dominions. - -_Dramatic or Musical Work first performed in America, subsequently -first published in the British Dominions._--The performing right in -this country would be lost, but probably not the copyright. - -_Dramatic or Musical Work first performed in the British Dominions, -subsequently first published in America._--The performing right in -this country would be secured, but the copyright lost. - - -SECTION V.--WHAT IS A MUSICAL COMPOSITION. - -The necessary originality in a musical composition consists either -in a new air or melody, or in the new arrangement and adaptation of -an old air. Thus an arrangement of an opera for the pianoforte is -an original work separate and distinct from the opera itself.[706] -So the adaptation of new words and accompaniment to an old air is a -musical composition entitled to protection.[707] It must always be -remembered, however, that a new arrangement or adaptation will only be -protected _quoad_ its novelty. In so far as the new work is taken from -a non-copyright work, an unauthorised taking of that part is not an -infringement of the new work. - - -SECTION VI.--WHAT MUSICAL WORKS ARE PROTECTED: DURATION OF PROTECTION. - -As in the case of dramatic works, so in the case of musical -compositions it is submitted that the statutory protection dates from -composition, not from first public performance. Musical compositions -are protected under the same provisions which protect dramatic works. -The protection is therefore identical, except as to the two amending -statutes noticed below which do not apply to dramatic works. It was -contended in one case that the extension of 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 to -musical compositions was only applicable to musical compositions of a -dramatic nature.[708] This, however, is not the case, and all musical -compositions are protected.[709] - -By the Copyright (Musical Compositions) Act, 1882, the performing -right in musical compositions which have been published in "book" -form is conditional[710] on a notice reserving the performing right, -and printed on every published copy. If the copyright and performing -right are in different hands the owner of the performing right must -give notice in writing to the owner of the copyright, requiring him to -print such notice, and if the latter after due notice fail to do so, -he shall forfeit to the owner of the performing right the sum of £20. - -Even if the musical composition is also a dramatic piece or part -thereof, it comes within this requirement as to notice of reservation -on published copies.[711] - -Once a musical composition has been printed and published without -notice of reservation, it will probably be impossible to obtain any -protection for the performing right afterwards by publishing copies -with reservation.[712] - -A limited reservation is constantly made, and is probably effectual, -_e. g._ reserving the right to sing in music halls, but permitting -public performances elsewhere without fee or licence.[713] - - -SECTION VII.--REGISTRATION OF PERFORMING RIGHTS. - -Section 20 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 enacts that "the provisions -hereinbefore enacted" in respect of registering the copyright in books -shall apply to the liberty of representing or performing any dramatic -piece or musical composition; provided that in the case of a dramatic -piece or musical composition in manuscript it shall be sufficient to -register-- - - 1. The title. - 2. The name and place of abode of author or composer. - 3. The name and place of abode of the proprietor. - 4. The time and place of first representation. - -In the case, therefore, of a dramatic piece or musical composition -which has been published as a book, the proper registration in respect -of both copyright and performing right would seem to be that provided -by section II, viz.: - - 1. The title. - 2. The time of first publication. - 3. The name and place of abode of the publisher.[714] - 4. The name and place of abode of the proprietor.[715] - -This is probably correct, although it may not strictly be in -accordance with the proviso in section 20, viz.: "save and except -that the first public representation or performance of any dramatic -piece or musical composition shall be deemed equivalent in the -construction of this Act to the first publication of any book." If, -however, the provision as to registration in section 11 were strictly -construed in accordance with this proviso, the result is that the -proper registration would be: - - 1. The title. - 2. The time of first representation. - 3. The name and place of abode of the person who first represented it. - 4. The name and place of abode of the proprietor. - -It is obviously absurd that this should be the form of registration -when the dramatic piece or musical composition has been printed and -published, and that the form in section 20 should be the form of -registration when it is in manuscript. The distinction between the two -forms is meaningless. - -Section 24 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, which enacts that no action for -infringement of copyright shall be brought unless the book is -registered, provides "that nothing herein contained shall prejudice -the remedies which the proprietor of the sole liberty of representing -any dramatic piece shall have by virtue of the Act 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. -15, or of this Act, although no entry shall be made in the book of -registry aforesaid." - -The provisions as to registration of dramatic pieces are therefore -merely permissive and are in no way a condition precedent either -to the performing right itself or to the right of action upon -infringement;[716] but registration is _primâ facie_ proof of the -right of representation subject to rebuttal by other evidence.[717] - -All the provisions as to the keeping of the registry book,[718] making -false entries therein,[719] and motion to expunge,[720] apply equally -to registration of a dramatic piece for the purpose of protecting -performing right as to registration of a book for the purpose of -protecting copyright.[721] - -=Musical Compositions.=--The requisite registration is the same as for -performing rights in dramatic works; but _quære_ whether in the case -of performing right in a musical composition it is not a condition -precedent to action. This doubt is raised by section 24, which -provides that the registration of a book is a condition precedent to -an action for infringement of copyright, and it specially excepts "the -remedies which the proprietor of the sole liberty of representing -any dramatic piece shall have" from the operation of the section. It -is curious that "musical compositions" are omitted from this saving -clause, whereas in nearly every other part of the Act "dramatic piece -and musical compositions" are dealt with together. The arguments -against registration being a condition precedent are, (1) the first -part of section 24 relates only to copyright which does not include -performing right; (2) section 20 does not extend the provisions of -section 24 to performing right, since it only applies the provisions -"_before_ enacted." There is also a suggestion that "dramatic piece" -in the saving clause of section 24 includes "musical composition," -since the definition of "dramatic piece" in section 2 includes -"musical or dramatic entertainment." There is no authority directly -in point. In _Russell_ v. _Smith_[722] the song called "The Ship on -Fire" was protected without registration, but then it was held to be -a "dramatic piece" and something more than a musical composition. In -_Clark_ v. _Bishop_[723] the song protected was also held to be a -"dramatic piece." In _Lacy_ v. _Rhys_,[724] where it was held that -in the case of a dramatic piece there was clearly no obligation to -register, Crompton, J., said that if it had not been for the proviso -in section 24, there would have been a doubt whether registration were -not necessary.[725] - -In registering an unpublished arrangement of dance music taken from an -opera, the arranger, not the composer of the original opera, must be -entered as composer.[726] - - -SECTION VIII.--ASSIGNMENT OF PERFORMING RIGHTS. - -The performing right in dramatic pieces and musical compositions can -only be transferred by a written assignment[727] or by entry on the -register.[728] See decisions as to assignment of copyright;[729] but -note that as regards performing right the assignment, even if before -publication or performance, must be in writing.[730] The performing -right will not pass by a mere conveyance of the copyright in a -dramatic or musical work[731] unless an entry shall be made of such -assignment in the register expressing the intention of the parties -that such right should pass.[732] As in the case of copyright, there -is no express enactment that assignment must be in writing; but it is -inferred from the fact that a licence which is a smaller right cannot -be given except by writing.[733] The assignment does not require -to be by deed,[734] and if by written document it is valid without -registration.[735] Section 22 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 appears at first -sight to make registration necessary in every assignment of performing -right, at least if the copyright is assigned with it; but this is not -so. If in the written assignment there is a specific conveyance of the -performing right,[736] or if general words are used such as "all other -the estate, right, title, and interest," showing that something else -than the copyright was intended to be conveyed, the performing right -will pass without registration.[737] Cotton, L. J., in considering this -section, says: - - "I incline to think that this enactment was not meant to control - the operation of deeds of assignment, but only to regulate the - effect of entries in the registry book."[738] - -In fact it was passed on account of _Cumberland_ v. _Planché_,[739] -which decided that the assignee of the copyright took the performing -right as well. - -If the view is right that the statutory performing right vests -immediately on production,[740] there can be no question of assignment -of common law rights.[741] - -Performing rights can probably be partially assigned so as to make a -grantee of provincial rights not only a licensee but an assignee, with -full power to sue alone and re-assign.[742] - - -SECTION IX.--INFRINGEMENT OF DRAMATIC PERFORMING RIGHTS. - -By 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15, section 1, the author or his assignee has -"the sole liberty of representing, or causing to be represented, at -any place or places of dramatic entertainment whatsoever" in the -British dominions. - -=Public Performance.=--It is no infringement of performing right in a -dramatic work to represent it otherwise than in a place of dramatic -entertainment; but it has been held that any place where a dramatic -work is publicly performed is for the time being a place of dramatic -entertainment. In _Lee_ v. _Simpson_,[743] Wilde, C. J., says: - - "The legislature clearly meant places where dramatic - entertainments are represented to which the public are admitted." - -In _Russell_ v. _Smith_[744] the Court decided that a certain song, -"The Ship on Fire," was a dramatic piece. Denman, C. J., said: - - "It follows that as Crosby Hall was used for the public - representation for profit of a dramatic piece, it became a place - of dramatic entertainment for the time, within the statutes - now in question. The use for the time in question and not for - a former time is the essential fact. As a regular theatre may - be a lecture-room, dining-room, ball-room, and concert-room on - successive days, so a room used ordinarily for either of these - purposes would become for the time being a theatre if used for - the representation of a regular stage play. In this sense, as - "The Ship on Fire" was a dramatic piece, in our view Crosby Hall, - when used for the public representation and performance of it for - profit, became a place of dramatic entertainment. In thus deciding - we do not declare that the defendant's performances at Crosby Hall - were unlawful without a theatrical licence within Stat. 6 & 7 - Vict. c. 68."[745] - -In the judgment of Brett, M. R., in _Wall_ v. _Taylor_[746] there -is a suggestion that although a single item in a programme might -be dramatic, that would not be sufficient to render the whole -entertainment dramatic or to make the place a place of dramatic -performance. In _Duck_ v. _Bates_[747] the defendant represented a -dramatic piece without the author's consent. The representation took -place in a room of Guy's Hospital, and was provided entirely for the -amusement of the nurses and attendants of the hospital. The medical -officers of the hospital, the students and some of their friends were -present. A reporter to a theatrical newspaper was also present by -invitation. It was held by Brett, M. R., and Bowen, L. J. (Fry, L. J., -dissenting), that the room was not a place of dramatic entertainment. -Neither profit[748] nor habitual use were essential elements, but -there must be a representation to which a portion of the public is -admitted. Brett, M. R., said: - - "Did the legislature intend to forbid a representation without the - author's consent by children in a nursery before their parents, or - by grown-up persons in a drawing-room? It is clear that something - more than that must have been intended; and why should not a - representation of that kind be called a dramatic entertainment? - Because it is obviously domestic and private. Suppose that the - servants of the household are invited to witness the performance; - nevertheless it is a domestic entertainment. As I have already - intimated, the author wants protection for the pecuniary value - of his drama, and a representation in a private room is of no - pecuniary value. In order to entitle the author to penalties there - must be a representation which will injure the author's right to - money; such, for instance, as a representation which, although - it is not for profit, would attract persons who are willing to - pay money, and would induce them not to go and see a performance - licensed by the author. Suppose that a representation in the - presence of friends takes place for the amusement of friends and - of the members of the household in an unfurnished house hired for - the occasion: that is not an infringement of the statute: the - representation must be other than domestic or private. There must - be present a sufficient part of the public who would go also to a - performance licensed by the author as a commercial transaction; - otherwise the place where the drama is represented will not be - a 'place of dramatic entertainment' within the meaning of the - statute. Suppose that a drama is represented in a county town, - and that all persons of a certain class throughout the county - are free to come: suppose that a member for a parliamentary - constituency (I do not mean shortly before or during an election) - organises dramatic entertainments to which the inhabitants are - admitted without paying: suppose that an amateur company choose - to act some drama for a charitable object, with admission upon - payment or by tickets issued generally: in each of these instances - an infringement of the statute has been committed.... I wish to - say, by way of warning, that those who go beyond the facts of the - present case may incur the penalties of the statute." - -This case is most instructive as being quite on the border line -between a private and public representation. Performing right in -a drama may be infringed by a representation without scenery and -appropriate dresses. - - "We should take away a part of the protection conferred on authors - if we hold that there could be no public representation without - these accompaniments."[749] - -=Substantial Part.=--As in literary copyright the part taken must -be material and substantial in order to infringe performing right. -In _Chatterton_ v. _Cave_,[750] Lord Chief Justice Coleridge at the -trial found as a fact "that two scenes or points of the drama of the -defendant had been taken directly from the drama of the plaintiff;" -there was no further copying. He thereupon gave judgment for the -defendant. On a rule for a new trial, Lord Coleridge, sitting in the -Court of Common Pleas, stated orally that what he meant to convey -by his finding was, "that looking to the general character of the -plaintiff's and defendant's dramas, the extent to which the one was -taken from the other was so slight, and the effect upon the total -composition was so small, that there was no substantial and material -taking of any one portion of the defendant's drama from any portion -of the plaintiff's." On this explanation the rule was discharged, and -the judgment subsequently affirmed by the Court of Appeal and the -House of Lords. Lord Hatherley said that the principle _de minimis non -curat lex_ applied to a supposed wrong in taking a part of dramatic -works as well as in reproducing a part of a book. He could not read -the word "part" in the Dramatic Copyright Act as "particle," so that -the crowing of the cock in "Hamlet," or the introduction of a line -in the dialogue might be held to be an invasion. In _Planché_ v. -_Braham_,[751] Tindal, C. J., directed the jury that if either one -song, or more than one song be taken from a piece and be performed on -the stage or any place of theatrical entertainment, that would be a -"representing" within the Act of Parliament. The jury, having found -that the defendant had represented "a part of the plaintiff's opera," -a rule for a new trial was refused.[752] In _Beere_ v. _Ellis_,[753] -two plays purported to be founded on the same novel. The defendant's -play contained some of the dialogue and several dramatic incidents and -situations taken directly from the plaintiff's play. Baron Pollock -held that a small piece of dialogue would not alone amount to an -infringement, but the defendant had taken two dramatic incidents on -which the plot of the play depended. He had therefore taken a material -part, and although he had done a considerable quantity of work for -himself, he had "extracted the plums" from the plaintiff's work, and -this he was not entitled to do. An indirect taking is, as in literary -copyright, an infringement, _e. g._ to copy and perform passages from -a play by dramatizing a novel founded on that play.[754] It is no -infringement to produce a play almost identically similar to that of -another author, if this is the result of coincidence and not of any -piracy direct or indirect.[755] As to the taking of a plan or idea, -see the chapter on infringement of literary copyright.[756] There must -be more than the taking of a general idea or scheme. Lord Blackburn, -in _Chatterton_ v. _Cave_,[757] said: - - "An idea may be taken from a drama and used in forming another - without the representation of the second being a representation of - any part of the first. For example, I have no doubt that Sheridan - in composing 'The Critic' took the idea from 'The Rehearsal,' but - I think it would be an abuse of language to say that those who - represent 'The Critic' represent 'The Rehearsal,' or any part - thereof, and if it were left to me to find the fact, I should - without hesitation find that they did not. On the other hand, in - composing 'The Trip to Scarborough,' Sheridan took so much from - 'The Relapse,' that if it were left to me to find the fact, I - should find that those who represent 'The Trip to Scarborough' do - represent parts of 'The Relapse.'" - -=Causing to be Represented.=--The "penalty" prescribed by the Act of 3 -& 4 Will. IV. c. 15 is recoverable from those who "represent or cause -to be represented" an unauthorised work. Section 20 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. -45 provides "that the sole liberty of representing, or performing, or -causing or permitting to be represented or performed, any dramatic -piece or musical composition, shall endure," &c. Notice that this -section uses the word "permitting," whereas 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 -only uses "represent or cause to be represented." The later statute, -however, does not purport to extend the nature of performing right, -and therefore the word "permitting," if it have any meaning at all, -can only be explanatory of the words "cause to be represented" in the -earlier statute. When then does a person "cause a dramatic piece to be -represented"? Shortly, the answer probably is, that if he does not -actually take part as an actor, the defendant must be shown to have -had some initiation in or control over the performance. In _Parsons_ -v. _Chapman_,[758] an acting manager, who paid the performers' -salaries, and was entitled to dismiss them, was held to have caused a -dramatic piece to be represented within the meaning of 10 Geo. III. -c. 28, sec. 1. In _Russell_ v. _Briant_,[759] the defendant was the -landlord of "The Horns" Tavern, at Kennington. His premises included -a large assembly room which was hired for evening entertainments. The -defendant furnished the platform and the lights, and allowed bills to -be put up in the tavern, and tickets of admission to be advertised to -be sold at the bar. At one entertainment a song, "The Ship on Fire," -which in _Russell_ v. _Smith_[760] was held to be a copyright dramatic -piece, was sung. It was held that the defendant had not represented or -caused to be represented the dramatic piece in question. Wilde, C. J., -said that no one could be considered as an offender unless by himself -or his agent he actually took part in the representation. In _Lyon_ -v. _Knowles_[761] the defendant let his theatre. He provided and paid -for the scenery, lights, printing, advertising, band, doorkeepers, -scene-shifters, and supernumeraries. His servants collected the money -at the door, and he retained half the gross profits to recoup himself. -The lessee brought his own company, and represented pieces of his own -choice, the defendant having no control over any person employed in -the representation. It was held that the defendant had not caused the -piece to be represented within the meaning of the Acts. In _Marsh_ v. -_Conquest_[762] the defendant was the proprietor of a theatre, and -his son, the acting manager, hired it for a "benefit." The Court held -that the defendant came within the statute. Erle, C. J., delivered the -judgment of the Court: - - "It appears that the defendant is the proprietor of the Grecian - Theatre, and the employer of the dramatic corps attached thereto; - that his son, the stage manager, hired for his benefit-night the - theatre, together with the company of actors, and servants, and - lights, for the sum of £30; and that the son, in the defendant's - theatre, and with the aid of his actors and actresses, musicians, - servants, lights, and other paraphernalia, represented the - dramatic piece in question, in violation of the plaintiff's - sole and exclusive right of representing or causing it to be - represented. I think the defendant is responsible for that - representation. He was the proprietor of the theatre, and had - entire control over the establishment and all belonging to it, and - what was done by his son was done with his permission." - -In _Monaghan_ v. _Taylor_[763] the defendant was the proprietor of a -music hall, and paid a singer to perform, leaving him his own choice -of songs. The singer sang a copyright song. The Court held that the -defendant came within the statute. This decision would not now apply -to musical performing right, since, by the Musical Copyright Act of -1888, a proprietor is not liable unless he permits the performance -knowing it to be an infringement. It is still applicable to dramatic -performing rights. Suppose, for instance, the proprietor of a variety -theatre hired the services of a troop of players, telling them to -fill up twenty minutes on the programme with any dramatic scene they -pleased. If they infringed a dramatic copyright, the proprietor would -be liable. - -It seems to be doubtful whether if B, acting entirely as the agent of -A, causes C and others to perform a dramatic piece, he can be held -liable if he took no part in the representation. In _Parsons_ v. -_Chapman_[764] Lord Tenterden, C. J., directed the jury that it was -sufficient if the defendant caused the piece to be performed; and that -it made no difference that he did so as an agent for others. This -was a decision under 10 Geo. II. c. 28, and the principle should be -the same under 3 & 4 Will. IV., and 5 & 6 Vict; but in _French_ v. -_Day_[765] Kennedy, J., took a different view. One of the defendants -was the manager of a theatre. He received instructions for the -production of the piece in question from the proprietor, and he could -not engage or dismiss artistes; he was in every respect bound to -conform to his employer's orders. Kennedy, J., said: - - "The whole thing was carried on by the proprietor, who merely - used the manager as his mouthpiece. I think I ought not to hold - that a person in his position 'represented,' or 'caused to be - represented,' the piece." - -=Knowledge.=--In an action for infringement of dramatic performing -right it is unnecessary to prove that the defendant knew the -performance was an infringement.[766] - -=Innocent Agents.=--All the actors who take part in an unlawful -performance are within the section as "representing," and are liable -to penalties.[767] - -=Licence.=--It is an infringement of performing right to -perform "without the consent in writing of the author or other -proprietor."[768] See decisions on licence as to copyright in -books.[769] The licence must be in writing,[770] but it does not -require to be written by the proprietor or signed by him or any one -else.[771] The secretary of a dramatic author's society may, if he has -authority, grant a good licence on behalf of the authors.[772] A part -owner cannot grant a licence without the consent of the other part -owners.[773] - - -SECTION X.--INFRINGEMENT OF MUSICAL PERFORMING RIGHTS. - -=Substantial Part.=--The rule that the taking of a part but not of a -particle in infringement applies equally to musical compositions and -to the performing rights therein. In _D'Almaine_ v. _Boosey_[774] the -taking of airs from an opera and arranging them as quadrilles and -waltzes was held to be an infringement of the copyright in the opera. -Lord Lyndhurst said: - - "Substantially the piracy is when the appropriated music, though - adapted to a different purpose from that of the original, may - still be recognised by the ear." - -This test, however, will hardly apply to the piracy of an adaptation -where the air or melody is a non-copyright one. A comparison of the -actual notes and treatment of the phrases would have to be made. - -=Public Performance.=--It has been contended that the protection -afforded by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 to musical compositions is only an -exclusive right of performance in places of dramatic entertainment. -That is the protection given to dramatic pieces, and it was said -that 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, in applying 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 to musical -compositions did not give them a wider protection than dramatic pieces -had. In _Wall_ v. _Taylor_[775] the Court held that this view was -wrong. Bowen, L. J., said: - - "I think the answer is this, that what is called in the argument a - 'condition' of recovering a penalty in sec. 2 of 3 & 4 Will. IV. - c. 15 is nothing of the kind, but part of the definition of the - offence upon which the penalty is to be incurred.... The right - granted is the privilege of representing at places of dramatic - entertainment.... Now sec. 20 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 creates a - new right of property as to a musical composition, and gives - the author and his assigns the sole liberty of representing or - performing it. That is the right given, and sec. 21 says that - the person who shall have that right 'shall have and enjoy the - remedies given and provided' in the Act of 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15. - Why read into that word 'remedies' that the second section of that - Act is only to be put in force not where there is an infringement - of that right, but where there has been a representation or - performance at a place of dramatic entertainment." - -The view of Cotton, L. J., in the same case was that the remedies of 3 -& 4 Will. IV. c. 15 were not applicable unless the musical composition -was performed in a place of dramatic entertainment; but that in every -case of public performance there was a remedy under 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 -for damages and injunction. Since the Musical Copyright Act of 1888 -the distinction between these opinions has become immaterial, for in -every case in which the performance is actionable at all the Court may -assess the damages as it thinks proper. - -=Causing to be Represented.=--The offence is representing or "causing -to be represented." As to what the latter includes see page 139, on -performing right in dramatic pieces. The liability for "causing to -be represented" differs from that in the case of dramatic pieces -in that since the Copyright (Musical Compositions) Act, 1888, "the -proprietor, tenant, or occupier of any place of dramatic entertainment -or other place at which any unauthorised representation or performance -of any musical composition shall take place ... shall not by reason -of such representation or performance be liable to any penalty or -damages in respect thereof, unless he shall wilfully cause or permit -such unauthorised representation or performance, knowing it to be -unauthorised."[776] In respect of those who are not proprietors, -tenants, or occupiers the liability is the same as in the infringement -of dramatic performing right. - - -SECTION XI.--REMEDIES FOR INFRINGEMENT OF DRAMATIC PERFORMING RIGHTS. - -An action for-- - - 1. Penalty[777] of 40s. for each performance, or the defendant's - profits, or the actual damage sustained, whichever - be the greater. - 2. Injunction.[778] - 3. A full and reasonable indemnity as to costs.[779] - -Action must be brought within twelve calendar months of the -offence.[780] - - -SECTION XII.--REMEDIES FOR INFRINGEMENT OF MUSICAL PERFORMING RIGHTS. - -An action for-- - - 1. Damages.[781] - 2. Injunction.[782] - 3. Costs in the discretion of the Court.[783] - -Action must be brought within twelve calendar months of the -offence.[784] - - - - -CHAPTER VI - -COPYRIGHT IN ENGRAVINGS - - -SECTION I.--WHAT WORKS ARE PROTECTED. - -The following works are protected under the Engraving Acts: - - 1. Every original engraving or print:[785] - 2. [Made within the British dominions:][786] - 3. First published within the British dominions:[787] - 4. Which bears the date of first publication and the - proprietor's name thereon:[788] - 5. And is innocent.[789] - -The protection endures for twenty-eight years from publication.[790] - -The protection is limited to the United Kingdom.[791] - -=What is an Original Engraving.=--By 8 Geo. II. c. 13 (1734) copyright -is given to "every person who shall invent and design, engrave, etch, -or work in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro, or from his own works and -invention shall cause to be designed and engraved, etched, or worked -in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro any historical or other print or -prints." - -In _Blackwell_ v. _Harper_[792] (1740) it was decided that the above -Act was not limited to works of invention such as an historical group, -but extended to the "designing or engraving anything that is already -in nature." - -In _Jefferys_ v. _Baldwin_[793] (1753) it was held that prints of -herring fishing-boats were not within the protection of the Act. - -By 7 Geo. III. c. 38 (1766), which was passed in consequence probably -of the doubt thrown upon the earlier Act by the above and other -decisions, the copyright in engravings is given to "all and every -person or persons who shall invent or design, engrave, etch, or work -in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro, or from his own work, design, or -invention shall cause or procure to be designed, engraved, etched, or -worked in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro any historical print or prints, -or any print or prints of any portrait, conversation, landscape, -or architecture, map, chart, or plan, or any other print or prints -whatsoever," and "to all and every person who shall engrave, etch, -or work in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro, or cause to be engraved, -etched, or worked any print taken from any picture, drawing, model, or -sculpture either ancient or modern." - -Notwithstanding this widely worded protection, doubts arose as to -whether lithographs and certain new processes of reproducing prints -came within the Acts, and in consequence a clause was inserted in -the Copyright Act of 1852[794] whereby it was declared that the -provisions of the Engraving Acts were intended to include prints taken -by lithography or any other mechanical process by which prints or -impressions of drawings or designs are capable of being multiplied -indefinitely. - -Prints of every description, therefore, are protected under the -Engraving Acts, and it is immaterial whether the design produced is: - - 1. The imaginative invention of the maker, - 2. Taken from some object in nature, or - 3. Taken from some other work of art, such as a picture - or model. - -_Originality._--The only originality required is an originality in -execution, _i. e._ the work must not be taken from some other print and -reproduce from that other print those characteristics of execution -wherein the peculiar merit of the engraver's art lies. - - "The engraver produces his effects by the management of light - and shade, or as the term of his art expresses it, the _chiaro - oscuro_. The due degrees of light and shade are produced by - different lines and dots; he who is the engraver must decide on - the choice of the different lines or dots for himself, and on - his choice depends the success of his print. If he copies from - another engraving he may see how the person who engraved that has - produced the desired effect, and so without skill or attention - become a successful rival."[795] - -_Map, Chart, or Plan._--It will be remembered that maps, charts, and -plans are included under the definition of books in the Copyright Act, -1842,[796] and receive protection as such. Doubt has consequently -been raised as to whether a map must comply with both the Engraving -Acts and the Literary Act in order to obtain protection, or whether -it will be sufficient to comply with the requirements of one only, -and if so, which. The decided cases are unsatisfactory. In _Stannard_ -v. _Lee_[797] protection was claimed for a "Panoramic Bird's-eye view -of France and Prussia," with the railway and strategic positions -illustrating the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. This was not registered -as a book under the Copyright Act, 1842, and the objection was held to -be fatal. The judges in the Court of Appeal seemed to be of opinion -that the Act of 1842 had taken maps, charts, and plans out of the -protection of the Engraving Acts and placed them under the protection -of the Literary Act, consequently that the requirements of the latter -and not of the Engraving Acts must be observed. James, L. J., said: - - "It was reasonable and proper to take a map out of the class of - artistic copyrights and to give to it the better and more complete - copyright which is intended to be given to literary works. And - there would be, as I have pointed out clearly, great inconvenience - in having two laws of copyright as to two sets of maps or as to - the same set of maps."[798] - -Mellish, L. J., said: - - "I think it is a perfectly rational enactment that maps shall no - longer be included among works of art but be classed in future - with literary works."[799] - -After this case had been decided a petition was brought to the Court -praying that another case, _Stannard_ v. _Harrison_,[800] in which -the same map had been copied, and to which the defendants had -consented to a decree for injunction and damages, should be reheard. -Bacon, V. C., refused the petition, and indicated in the course of -his judgment that a map not registered as a book might be protected -as an engraving if the claim was properly stated. The judgment in -_Stannard_ v. _Lee_,[801] he said, had gone on a question of pleading, -the plaintiffs having voluntarily brought their map under the category -of books. This is by no means a satisfactory explanation of the -decision in the Court of Appeal, as it is abundantly clear from the -judgments as reported that in the view of the Lords Justices the -Copyright Act, 1842, took maps, charts, and plans out of the category -of artistic works and placed them in the category of literary works. -Whether this is a correct view is another matter, but at present it -would seem to be law. It is submitted that the true view probably -is that a map may be protected under either Act if the requisite -formalities are observed. The Literary will probably give a wider -protection than the Engraving Acts. The Engraving Acts will protect a -map from infringement of the method of execution, that is to say, the -work which is the peculiar work of the engraver; while the Literary -Act will protect it not only from that, but from a piratical taking -of information imparted. Thus suppose a map of India giving battles -and dates and, say, the principal products of the various districts -marked with printed letters on the surface. It is difficult to see how -the taking of all these dates and products and placing them perhaps -printed in different letters on the new map could be an infringement -of the engraving copyright in the map; there is nothing in the nature -of a design or drawing taken; and yet it is quite clear it will be an -infringement under the protection afforded by a literary copyright, -because there is a taking of the particular expression by which -information is imparted. - -_Engravings in a book_ are protected by the Copyright Act, 1842, as -part of the book, and, as such, do not require to comply with the -requirements of the Engraving Acts.[802] The protection of a print -forming part of a book is probably a double one, and if it had the -name and date inscribed would be protected without registration or -notwithstanding faulty registration of the book. - -=Must the Engraving be made within the British Dominions.=--The Act -17 Geo. III. c. 57 giving a remedy by action for damages is expressly -confined to works made in Great Britain. The other two Acts, 8 Geo. -II. c. 13 and 7 Geo. III. c. 38, are not expressly limited to works -there made, but it has been held that the limitation is to be supplied -in them.[803] - - "It is plain that the object of the legislature was to - protect those works which were designed, engraved, etched, or - worked in Great Britain, and not those which were designed, - engraved, etched, or worked abroad, and only published in Great - Britain."[804] - -The Act 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 59 extends the application of the Engraving -Acts to Ireland, and in section 2 there is a general proviso -protecting "any engraving or print of any description whatever ... -which may have been or which shall hereafter be published in any part -of Great Britain or Ireland." It is quite arguable that this extends -the protection to engravings wherever made if published in the United -Kingdom; but probably it would be held to be only applicable to -engravings made in the United Kingdom, and is merely a proviso that -there will be no copyright until publication in the United Kingdom. -The point, however, is one of great uncertainty. - -Under the International Copyright Act, 1886,[805] works first produced -anywhere within the British dominions are protected equally with those -first produced in the United Kingdom. The doubt still remains whether -the engraving must not be made as well as first published within the -British dominions. - -=The Engraving must be first Published within the British -Dominions.=--There is no protection until publication[806] except -at common law. Publication is an act which gives to the public an -opportunity on payment or otherwise of viewing the print. There -may probably be publication without offering copies for sale or -distribution. See as to publication of books[807] and pictures;[808] -but the analogy is not complete with either. There seems to be no -direct authority as to what constitutes publication of an engraving. - -Before 1886 the work had to be published in the United Kingdom.[809] -Now first publication anywhere within the British dominions will be -sufficient to secure the copyright.[810] - -=Date of First Publication and Proprietor's Name.=--It is a condition -precedent to protection that there must be truly engraved on each -plate, and printed on every print or prints[811]-- - - i. The name of the proprietor; - ii. The day of first publication. - -This qualification of the engraver's right is only inserted in 8 Geo. -II. c. 13, and not in the subsequent Acts which extend the protection -to works not there included and give remedies not there given. It has -been held, however, that as the Acts are _in pari materia_ they must -be taken together, and the qualification in the first read into the -others.[812] - -The proviso as to the name and date is a condition precedent to -protection, and not merely directory.[813] In one case Lord Hardwicke -thought that, although no action for penalties would lie unless the -name and date were correctly published, an injunction might be granted -even although the name and date were not published at all.[814] He was -probably wrong. - -_Name of Proprietor._--There is some little doubt as to whether this -must be the name of the person who was proprietor at the date of -first publication or at the date on which protection is claimed. In -_Thompson_ v. _Symonds_[815] Lord Kenyon said: - - "The name of the proprietor should appear in order that those who - wish to copy it might know to whom to apply for consent. It seems, - therefore, necessary that the date should remain, but that the - name of the proprietor should be altered as often as the property - is changed." - -But Buller, J., in the same case, thought the proprietor always meant -the inventor and first proprietor, notwithstanding the property had -passed to his assignee. The point is certainly doubtful, but the -latter view that the name of the first proprietor only need be on -the print seems the more reasonable, and not contrary to the wording -of the Act. The proprietor need not be described as such on the -plate.[816] If his name is there it is sufficient, even if there is -more than one name and it is uncertain which is the proprietor.[817] -The proprietor need not be described by his full name, his surname -is sufficient.[818] When a partnership firm are proprietors of an -engraving the trading name of the firm is a sufficient designation, -inasmuch as it enables parties to know whom to apply to for -information.[819] If a single proprietor trades under the designation -of A. B. & Co. that is a sufficient designation.[820] - -=Immoral Works.=--There will be no copyright in profane, libellous, or -indecent prints.[821] - -=Duration of Protection.=--The statutory right begins on publication, -and runs for twenty-eight years from the day of first publishing.[822] - -After publication protection will depend entirely on the statute.[823] - -Before publication there is a common law right to prevent all -interference with what is a man's private property,[824] and to -protect this the formalities prescribed by the statute need not be -complied with. - - -SECTION II.--THE OWNER OF THE COPYRIGHT. - -=The Engraver.=--The persons to whom the copyright is given by the -Acts are, "Every person and persons who shall invent or design, -engrave, etch, or work in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro, or from his own -work, design, or invention, shall cause or procure to be designed, -engraved, etched, or worked in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro any prints -... and every person who shall engrave, etch, or work in mezzotinto or -chiaro oscuro, or cause to be engraved, etched, or worked any print -taken from any picture." - -The engraver, therefore, is the first owner of the copyright when -he does the work on his own behalf, or, if he does it on behalf of -another, executes it entirely from his own work, design, or invention. - -=The Employer.=--When one man employs another to execute an engraving -it would seem that by the Acts[825] the copyright vests _ab initio_ in -the employer: - - 1. In the case of an engraving taken from another work of - art. - 2. In the case of an engraving with an original design, - if it is executed from the employer's own work, - design, or invention. - -An employer may be the inventor of a design even although he is unable -to draw, and would himself be unable to execute it. For instance, in -the case[826] of a war map for the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, it -was held that a publisher who had employed an engraver, giving him -material and instructions from time to time was the inventor, and -therefore the first owner in the copyright in the map. Bacon, V. C., -said: - - "As to whether the design or invention is that of the plaintiff - or not is a mere matter of character.... The compiler has proved - that it is the design of the plaintiff; that the plaintiff brought - to him his rough sketch or draught, a drawing of the same size - as the stone on which it was to be engraved, pointing out, as - the compiler has said, 'a rough sketch of the forts and towns to - give me an idea; he furnished me also with a large French map, - and some maps published in the _Times_ and _Daily Telegraph_; he - gave me notice also daily of the earthworks that were made and - produced, besides a picture published in the _Illustrated London - News_.' That the plaintiff cannot draw himself is a matter - wholly unimportant if he has caused other persons to draw for - him. He invents the subject of the design beyond all question. - He prescribes the proportions and the contents of the design; - he furnishes a part of the materials from which the drawing has - to be made in the first instance, and afterwards collects daily - from the proper sources, and even, if it be necessary to say so, - from official sources, the decrees, the reports, the bulletins - and accounts contained in the newspapers of the different phases - of the war, and especially of the places in which earthworks are - thrown up. These he communicates to the man whom he has employed - to make a drawing for him.... It is clear to my mind that this - is a work of diligence, industry, and for aught I know of genius - on the part of the plaintiff, for the notion never seems to have - occurred to the compiler himself." - -If the person employed is the servant of the employer and not an -independent contractor, the whole right in the engraving will -probably, irrespective of the Acts, vest _ab initio_ in the -employer.[827] - -=The Assignee.=--In one case[828] it was contended that there could -be no assignment under the Engraving Acts enabling an assignee to sue -in his own name, since these Acts only provide for the licence and -exemption from liabilities of a purchaser.[829] It was held, however, -that there could be an assignment, and that the assignee could sue in -his own name.[830] - -As a licence is required to be in writing, signed by the proprietor -and in the presence of two or more credible witnesses,[831] so must -the assignment which passes a greater right.[832] - -The sale of plates will not in itself operate as an assignment;[833] -but, if it were clearly intended to pass the whole right, probably it -would pass with the plates without assignment in writing.[834] - -Before publication the whole right in the engraving, _i. e._ the -common law right, may be assigned without writing.[835] - - -SECTION III.--INFRINGEMENT OF THE COPYRIGHT. - -=Prohibited Acts and Remedies.=--It is an offence "for any -print-seller or other person whatsoever"[836]-- - - 1. To engrave, etch, or work, or in any manner copy and - sell the protected work. - 2. To print, reprint, or import for sale any pirated copy. - 3. Knowingly to publish, sell, or expose for sale, or in - any other manner dispose of any pirated copy. - 4. To cause or procure any of these acts to be done. - -For any such offence the remedy is an action in the High Court for-- - - i. Forfeiture of plates and sheets to proprietor for destruction. - [837] - ii. Penalty of 5s. for every published copy.[838] - iii. Damages.[839] - iv. Injunction.[840] - v. Inspection and Account.[841] - -Further it is an offence-- - - 5. Innocently to publish, sell, or expose for sale, any - pirated copy.[842] - 6. To make a copy or copies, whether for sale or not.[843] - 7. To cause or procure any of these acts to be done. - -For any such offence the remedy is an action in the High Court for-- - - i. Damages.[844] - ii. Injunction.[845] - iii. Inspection and Account.[846] - -Penalties and delivery of plates or copies may also be recovered by -summary proceeding before any two justices having jurisdiction where -the party offending resides.[847] - -_Guilty Knowledge._--It will be noticed that in order to recover -penalties and forfeiture of copies under 8 Geo. II. c. 13, for the -offence of selling a piratical copy, it must have been committed -knowing the copy to have been produced without consent. In 17 Geo. -III. c. 57, however, the offence for which an action for damages lies -is merely "selling," thus not requiring proof of guilty knowledge. It -has been contended that the requirement of guilty knowledge in 8 Geo. -II. c. 13, should be read into 17 Geo. III. c. 57, and the action of -damages provided by the latter statute applied to guilty selling only. -This contention has been rejected as erroneous.[848] - -_Limitation of Action._--Actions for penalties under the Acts must -be brought within three months of the discovery of the offence sued -on[849] and within six months after the committal of such offence.[850] - -There is no express limitation in the Acts in respect of actions for -damages under 17 Geo. III. c. 57, and therefore such action will not -be barred for six years.[851] - -_Costs._--The litigant if successful in an action for infringement -is to recover "full costs."[852] This proviso, however, has been -construed to mean nothing more than ordinary costs taxed as between -party and party.[853] Probably, however, they may be claimed as of -right and are not in the discretion of the Court under Rules of the -Supreme Court, o. 65, r. 1.[854] - -_Copying for Private Use_ will probably be actionable under 17 Geo. -III. c. 57;[855] but no penalties could be recovered under 8 Geo. II. -c. 13, as under that Act the making must be a making for sale. - -=What is a Piratical Copy.=--The right under the Acts is "the sole -right and liberty of printing and reprinting the same,"[856] and the -prohibition is against "engraving, etching, or working in mezzotinto -or chiaro oscuro or otherwise, or in any manner copying, in the whole -or in part, by varying, adding to or diminishing from, the main -design."[857] - -The taking of a material part is a piracy;[858] the copy which -contains a material part of a copyright engraving is a piratical copy, -and it is an offence to import or sell it.[859] - -The copyright in an engraving may be infringed otherwise than -by another engraving. Thus a photograph of an engraving is an -infringement of the copyright in it.[860] - -It is doubtful how far the Engraving Acts protect the design in -an engraving. It is clear that when an engraving is taken from a -work of art previously existing, such as a pen and ink drawing or -a painting, the engraving is only copyright so far as the work of -the engraver[861] is concerned; that is to say, apart from the -copyright in the drawing or painting, which may or may not be his, -the engraver acquires no monopoly[862] of the right to engrave the -picture; the fact of his being the first engraver does not prevent -others from doing the same, they can only be prevented from copying -from his engraving the peculiar execution of the design. In _Dicks_ v. -_Brooks_[863] a printed pattern for Berlin wool work was taken from -an engraving of the well-known picture "The Huguenot," by Millais. -The owner of the copyright in the engraving sued for infringement. -It was held that the printed pattern constituted no infringement of -his engraving; it contained no reproduction of that which was the -engraver's meritorious work in the print. But if the whole invention -and design of the engraving is the engraver's own do the Engraving -Acts protect the engraver in such design and invention? There is no -authority where the point has been expressly considered and decided. -It is suggested that the Engraving Acts protect that part of an -engraving only which is the result of the engraver's peculiar art; -for the rest, for the design, for the invention, for the grouping of -the figures, protection can only be obtained under the Act protecting -drawings, or (in the case of maps) under the Literary Copyright Act, -or at common law. In _Roworth_ v. _Wilkes_[864] Lord Ellenborough -considered a copying of the design was an infringement of copyright -under the Engraving Acts. The action was in respect of an alleged -infringement of certain plates in a treatise on fencing. These plates -had been copied in so far as the position of the figures went, but -they were represented as differently dressed. His Lordship, in -directing the jury, said: - - "As to the prints, the question will be whether the defendant has - copied the main design ... it is still to be considered whether - there be such a similitude and conformity between the prints that - the person who executed the one set must have used the others as - a model. In that case he is a copyist of the main design. But if - the similitude can be supposed to have arisen from accident, or - necessarily from the nature of the subject, or from the artist - having sketched designs merely from reading the letterpress of - the plaintiffs work, the defendant is not answerable. It is - remarkable, however, that he has given no evidence to explain the - similitude or to repel the presumption which that necessarily - causes." - -In _Martin_ v. _Wright_[865] it was held that when an artist had from -sketches of his own produced an engraving, and the defendant had it -copied on canvas in colours on a very large scale, with dioramic -effect, and publicly exhibited it, such a copying and exhibiting was -no infringement of the engraving. The ground of this decision seems -to have been partly that the merit of the new work had absorbed the -merit of the old. Thus Shadwell, V. C., prefaces his judgment with the -remark that "any person may copy and publish the whole of a literary -composition provided he writes notes upon it, so as to present it to -the public connected with matter of his own."[866] Another ground of -the decision seems to have been that the diorama was produced for -purposes of exhibition and not of sale. The real point, whether the -Acts protected more than that which was peculiar to the engraver's -art, does not appear to have been considered either in the argument -or judgment. In _Dicks_ v. _Brooks_[867] James, L. J., appears to have -been of opinion that 8 Geo. II. c. 3, in protecting the work of an -engraver where the invention and design was his own, protected not -only the work peculiar to the engraver's art, but the invention and -design of the pictures as well. - - "These words were intended to give protection for the genius - exhibited in the invention of the design, and the protection was - commensurate with the invention and design."[868] - -Bramwell, L. J., however, seems inclined towards the opposite view. He -says: - - "I do not say that if this were an ordinary engraving with no - picture, a lithograph taken from it would not be a copy. I think - that a photograph taken from it would be a copy. I do not say that - if this were an original engraving with no picture, and a copy - were made of it and afterwards coloured there might not be some - ground for saying that there was a piracy of the art and skill of - the engraver. I should have very great misgiving about it, because - I doubt whether the statutes were not intended to protect the - artist's skill as an engraver only, and not as a draftsman."[869] - -It is no defence to an action for infringement that the work has been -extensively added to or improved.[870] - -Striking prints from the proprietor's own plate has been held not -to be an infringement, although it was clearly an unauthorised act -and a breach of contract.[871] Thus a printer who had plates in his -possession would not infringe the copyright and be liable to penalties -by striking copies for his own use, but he would be liable in damages -for breach of contract. - -_Licence a Defence._--A licence in order to be a defence must be -in writing signed by the proprietor in the presence of two or more -credible witnesses,[872] but a licensee who is also a purchaser -of any plates for printing may presumably without any document in -writing print from the said plates without incurring penalties[873] -under 8 Geo. II. c. 13 or 7 Geo. III. c. 38, but _quære_ whether such -purchaser would not technically be liable to damages under 17 Geo. -III. c. 57. A bare licensee, although a purchaser of plates, could not -authorise third persons to print from the plates except as his agent -and on his behalf.[874] - - - - -CHAPTER VII - -COPYRIGHT IN SCULPTURE - - -SECTION I.--WHAT WORKS ARE PROTECTED. - -The following works are protected under the Sculptures Act: - - 1. Every original sculpture:[875] - 2. First published within the British dominions:[876] - 3. [The author of which is a British subject or resident within the - British dominions]:[877] - 4. Which bears the proprietor's name and the date [of first - publication] thereon:[878] - 5. And is innocent.[879] - -Protection endures for fourteen years from publication, and another -term of fourteen years if the author is then alive and retains the -copyright.[880] - -Protection is probably limited by implication to the United -Kingdom.[881] - -=What is an Original Sculpture.=--The work protected is "any new and -original sculpture, or model, or copy, or cast of the human figure or -human figures, or of any bust or busts or of any part or parts of the -human figure clothed in drapery or otherwise, or of any subject being -matter of invention in sculpture, or of any alto or basso-relievo -representing any of the matters or things hereinbefore mentioned, or -any cast from nature of the human figure or of any part or parts of -the human figure, or of any cast from nature of any animal or of any -part or parts of any animal, or of any such subject containing any -of the matters or things hereinbefore mentioned, whether separate or -combined."[882] - -In one case it was contended that the Act only applied to -representations of human figures and animals. North, J., however, held -that "any new and original sculpture" applied to any subject "being -matter of invention in sculpture," and that casts of fruit and leaves -used for instruction in drawing were protected.[883] - -Carefully modelled toy soldiers have been protected as works of -sculpture.[884] - -=The Sculpture must be First Published within the British -Dominions.=--The Act provides that protection shall run from the -first publication of the work.[885] Before 1886 it is possible that -first publication within the United Kingdom was required, now first -publication anywhere within the British dominions will vest the -copyright;[886] first publication outside the British dominions will -destroy it.[887] - -_Publication._--A work of sculpture is published when the "eye of -the public"[888] is allowed to rest upon it, that is to say when the -sculpture itself and not merely a photographic copy or sketch is so -exhibited that the general public have an opportunity of viewing -it.[889] Exhibition in any public gallery such as the Royal Academy -would be publication; but a private view in the artist's studio would -not be publication. - -=Author's Nationality.=--It is extremely doubtful whether the author -must not at the time of first publication bear some allegiance to the -crown by virtue of nationality or residence. If this is so in the case -of books,[890] there seems to be no good ground for saying that the -statute as to sculpture[891] was intended to be more generous to the -foreigner than that as to books.[892] - -=Proprietor's Name and Date.=--The protection given by the Sculpture -Act is conditional on the proprietor or proprietors having caused his, -her, or their name or names with the date to be put on every sculpture -before the same shall be put forth or published.[893] - -_Proprietor's Name._[894]--As to what will probably be a sufficient -statement of the proprietor's name, see the cases on engravings[895] -on which also the proprietor's name is required. As to this provision -the two statutes seem to be _in pari materia_ and the cases equally -applicable to both. - -_Date._--It is not stated what date: but there can be no reasonable -doubt but that the date of first publication is intended. The older -statute governing sculptures[896] (now repealed) required the -proprietor's name and "date of publication." The International Act, -7 & 8 Vict. c. 12, in reciting the provisions as to sculptures, -runs "and by the said Acts[897] it is provided that the name of the -proprietor, with the date of first publication thereof, is to be put -on all such sculptures." It should be noticed, however, that both -statutes were then in operation and 38 Geo. III. c. 71 had not yet -been repealed, so that the recitation in 7 & 8 Vict. c. 12 may apply -only to the provision in 38 Geo. III. c. 71, and is not necessarily -explanatory of 54 Geo. III. c. 36. There can be no doubt, however, -that the omission in 54 Geo. III. c. 56 to state what date was -required was an oversight, and everything points to its being the -date of first publication that is meant. The statutory protection -begins then, and from then the duration of the copyright is measured -so that there is strong reason for the public being apprised of the -date of first publication, while the date of making, which is the only -other conceivable date, is of no importance. When the date affixed -was a date a few days before publication, Wright, J., held it was -immaterial, as it would only shorten the term of the copyright.[898] - -=Immoral Works.=--Profane, libellous, or indecent works will not be -protected. There are no direct authorities in respect of unlawful -works of sculpture, but as in books,[899] paintings,[900] and -engravings[901] the general policy of the law not to take an account -between wrong-doers will apply. - -=Duration of Protection.=--Statutory protection commences on -publication.[902] Before publication the unpublished work will -be protected at common law from any use which may be made of it -without the permission of the owner. After publication the statutory -protection alone exists and subsists for fourteen years[903] with a -further term of fourteen years if at the expiration of the first term -the person who originally made or caused the sculpture to be made is -alive and has not parted with the copyright.[904] - - -SECTION II.--THE OWNER OF THE COPYRIGHT. - -=The Artist.=--If a work of sculpture is made by an artist on his own -behalf he becomes on publication the proprietor of the copyright if -before publication he has not assigned his interest in the work. - -=The Employer.=--If one procures an artist to make a work of sculpture -for him the employer will be _ab initio_ the owner of the copyright -without any necessity for assignment from the artist. In order so to -vest the work the employer, it would seem, requires to take no part in -the invention or design of the work. If he causes the work to be done, -he comes within the Act. No valuable consideration need be shown. - -=The Assignee.=--Assignment must be under seal, _i. e._ by a deed in -writing signed by the proprietor in the presence of and attested by -two or more credible witnesses.[905] - - -SECTION III.--INFRINGEMENT OF THE COPYRIGHT. - -=Prohibited Acts and Remedies.=--The Act (54 Geo. III. c. 56) gives to -the proprietor "the sole right and property" of works in sculpture. - -The prohibited Acts are[906]-- - - 1. Making a pirated copy. - 2. Importing a pirated copy. - 3. Exposing for sale or otherwise disposing of a pirated copy. - 4. Causing any of these acts to be done. - -The remedy is an action at the suit of the proprietor for[907]-- - - i. Damages. - ii. Injunction. - iii. Costs--"a full and reasonable indemnity."[908] - -_Guilty Knowledge._--Ignorance is no defence to an action in respect -of any of the prohibited Acts, even that of selling. - -_Limitation of Action._--All actions under the Act must be commenced -within six months of the discovery of the offence sued on. - -_Copying for Private Use._--Either making or importing a single copy -for private use would technically be an infringement. The prohibition -is not limited to making or importing for sale, hire, exhibition, or -distribution, as in the case of paintings, &c., under 25 & 26 Vict. c. -68, sec. 6. - -=What is a Piratical Copy.=--A pirated copy may be "produced by -moulding or copying from or imitating in any way any of the matters or -things put forth or published under the protection of the Act ... to -the detriment, damage, or loss of the proprietor."[909] - -The prohibition is against "imitating in any way." This prohibition -does not seem so wide as that in 25 & 26 Vict. c. 68, which prohibits -the multiplication of a painting or drawing or the design thereof. -It is more similar to the prohibition in the Engraving Act 8 Geo. -II. c. 13, viz., against engraving, &c., "or in any manner copying" -a copyright print. It seems therefore to be open to question as with -engravings whether a piece of sculpture can be infringed except by -some work of art which reproduces the peculiar art of the sculptor. -Would a piece of sculpture be infringed by a picture, sketch, or -engraving copying the design of the work? - -Licence would be a defence, and it probably does not require to be in -writing. There is nothing in the Act from which the necessity for a -licence to be in writing could be implied. - - - - -CHAPTER VIII - -COPYRIGHT IN PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS - - -SECTION I.--WHAT WORKS ARE PROTECTED. - -The following works are protected under the Fine Arts Copyright Act, -1862: - - 1. Every original painting, drawing, and photograph:[910] - 2. Not first published outside the British Dominions:[911] - 3. The "author" of which is a British subject, or is resident - within the dominions of the crown [when the - work is made]:[912] - 4. Which has been registered before infringement:[913] - 5. And is innocent.[914] - -Protection vests at the date of making, and endures for the author's -life and seven years.[915] - -Protection is limited to the United Kingdom.[916] - -=Every Original Painting, Drawing, and Photograph.=--There is no -attempt to define what is a painting, drawing, or photograph within -the meaning of the Act.[917] The substances used in the making are no -doubt immaterial, so long as the result is _ejusdem generis_ with what -is ordinarily meant by a picture, drawing, or photograph. A painting -on the wall of a house would doubtless be protected, but not a design -created by grouping figures in a _tableau vivant_.[918] - -_Originality_ as an essential of protection means that there must be -something either in the design or execution of the work which is not -merely copied from some other artistic work. The whole work need not -be original. Thus the execution may be original but not the design, -as in the case of a photograph of an old picture;[919] or part only -of the design may be original, as in the case of the design of an -old drawing added to or altered. In so far as the work is new there -will be protection, but in so far as it is old there will be no -protection.[920] - -_Artistic Merit._--The Court will not inquire as to whether a -painting, drawing, or photograph is good, bad, or indifferent. If it -consists in the representation of some object by means of light and -shade or colour, it will suffice, and even the coarsest or the most -commonplace, or the most mechanical representation of the commonest -object would be protected so that an exact reproduction of it, such -as photography, for instance, would produce, would be an infringement -of copyright.[921] Probably there must be a representation of some -concrete object, real or imaginary. Protection, for instance, was -refused to a label for Eau de Cologne,[922] which merely bore the -legend "Johanna Maria Farina gegenüber dem Julichs Platz," written in -copperplate with sundry dots and flourishes. It was held that any one -who had a right to sell Farina's Eau de Cologne might manufacture and -use the label, since although the label was a trade mark there was no -copyright in it. A label with anything in the nature of a picture on -it would undoubtedly be copyright, as the use to which a work of art -is put is immaterial, but it is doubtful whether a label containing -merely geometrical figures and fancy dots and lines would be protected -under the Act of 1862. Probably it would not. - -=Publication outside the British Dominions.=--Copyright in works of -art under the Act of 1862 begins on the making thereof, and is not -dependent on publication. It is immaterial where the work is made, -whether in the British dominions or elsewhere, and it would be as -immaterial where it was first published, or whether it was published -or not, but for the provision of the International Copyright Act, -1844. Section 19 of this Act provides that the maker of a work of art -which shall be first published out of the British dominions shall not -have copyright therein otherwise than such as he may become entitled -to under the International Acts; which means that where there is no -treaty a work first published abroad is not protected at all. The -result of this section was evidently not contemplated when the Fine -Arts Act, 1862, was framed. There seems to be no doubt that the work, -wherever made, will acquire copyright immediately on the making, but -that that copyright may be lost if the work is published abroad before -it is published in the British dominions. - -_Published._--A painting, drawing, or photograph is probably published -when it is so exhibited as to give the public an opportunity of -viewing it. The leading case on publication of works of art is -_Turner_ v. _Robinson_[923] in the Court of Chancery in Ireland. This -case was decided before 1862, and therefore before there was any -statutory copyright in paintings. The subject-matter was a painting -from which certain stereoscopic views had been taken without the -proprietor's consent. The painting had been previously, with the -consent of the proprietor, published in the form of an engraving -in a magazine, and exhibited at the Royal Academy in London and in -Manchester. It was then exhibited with the proprietor's consent -in Dublin for the purpose of obtaining contributors to a proposed -engraving, and while so exhibited the defendant, without consent, -copied it and produced his stereoscopic photographs. The Master of the -Rolls[924] thought that the picture had never been published, because -the exhibitions to the public in the Academies and in Dublin were on -the condition that no copies should be taken, and the engraving in the -magazine was not a publication of the picture, but only of a rough -representation of it. He therefore held that the common law right in -the picture had not been lost by publication, and that the proprietor -could recover against the taker of the stereoscopic views as against -an infringer of common law rights. The Court of Appeal in Chancery -upheld the judgment of the Master of the Rolls, but on different -grounds. They said it was unnecessary to decide whether there had been -publication in London and Manchester since, in their opinion, the act -of the defendant in taking stereoscopic views from the painting was a -breach of faith. He was admitted to the view in Dublin for one purpose -only, _i. e._ to become if he wished a subscriber to an engraving; but -he abused his privilege by taking a copy of the painting which might -well compete with the plaintiff's proposed engraving. The defendant -was, therefore, restrained on the ground of breach of faith or implied -contract. In his judgment the Lord Chancellor disapproved of the -view of the Master of the Rolls that there had been no publication -in London or Manchester. He thought exhibition in the Academy, -even although to a certain extent conditional, would be sufficient -publication to vest the copyright, _e. g._ in a work of sculpture -under the statutes applicable to such works. Exhibition in a public -gallery, therefore, would be publication, but not a private view in -the artist's studio to which only a small and selected portion of -the public are invited. Whether the publication of a print would be -publication of the picture from which it was taken, _quære_; the -Master of the Rolls thought not, and on this point the Court of Appeal -neither approved nor disapproved. - -=Nationality or Residence of Artist.=--The protection of the Act -is expressly limited to the works of British subjects and of such -foreigners as are resident within the dominions of the Crown.[925] -There is no direction in the statute as to the time when the author -must possess the requisite nationality or residence. Must it be at the -time of making or at the time of publishing, or both? It is submitted -that it must be at the time of making, since copyright in the work -vests at that time, and there may never be publication at all. There -seems to be no reason for suggesting that the date to be looked at is -the date of publication, except that the next words in the section -provide that the work may be made anywhere, and the proviso as to the -residence of the author, if applied at the date of making, means that-- - - 1. A work by a British subject may be made anywhere; but, - 2. A work by an alien must be made within the dominions of the Crown. - -There does not seem to be anything absurdly contradictory in this, and -there is, on the other hand, a patent absurdity in not being able to -determine whether the author is an author within the Act until long -after the right has begun to run. - -=Registration.=--A condition precedent to protection is registration -in the book kept at the Hall of the Stationers' Company. - -_The Requisite Entry._--There must be registered: - - 1. Name and place of abode of the "author." - 2. Name and place of abode of the proprietor. - 3. Short description of the nature and subject of the work. - And if desired, - 4. A sketch outline or photograph of the work. - -The wording of section 4 of the Act of 1862 providing for compulsory -registration is very confused, the requirements on first registration -being unaccountably mixed up with the requirements on subsequent -assignment. - -On first registration whenever it takes place it is submitted that the -particulars entered should be as above.[926] The author and proprietor -may very likely be the same individual, in which case the one name -will be entered twice, once under each description. It would probably -not be sufficient merely to enter the author's name once as author -and leave it to be implied that he is the owner. Even if the author -and proprietor are different persons, either because the author has -been employed for valuable consideration or because he has granted -an assignment, the particulars to be entered on first registration -are the same, no entry of the terms of employment or assignment being -necessary.[927] The real proprietor must be on the register, and if -the wrong person is registered as proprietor it will not give a cause -of action to join such person as co-plaintiff with the real proprietor -who is not on the register.[928] - -As in the Literary Copyright Act, copyright in the work exists before -registration, but no action is maintainable without registration, and -under this Act even after registration there is no remedy in respect -of infringement committed before registration.[929] - -It need hardly be said that the necessity of registration only -applies to an action on copyright proper, and an action will without -registration lie on breach of contract, express or implied,[930] and -probably on the common law right of an author and his assigns in -unpublished work.[931] - -If an unauthorised copy is made before the proprietor is registered -but sold afterwards, an action for damages will lie for the offence of -selling such copies, but no action for penalties.[932] No action at -all will lie for making.[933] - -If an action is brought by an assignee, such assignee must be on -the register as proprietor,[934] and it will not avail to join as -co-plaintiff an unregistered assignee with the assignor who although -registered has parted with the copyright.[935] An assignee taking -from a registered assignor probably cannot sue in respect of acts of -infringement committed before the registration of the assignment.[936] -It is not necessary that the original proprietor, whether author or -employer, should have been registered,[937] but once registration -has been effected it would seem that all future assignments must be -entered on the register.[938] - -The registration by an assignee under an assignment, subsequent to -first registration, must contain the following particulars:[939] - - 1. Date of assignment. - 2. Names of parties to the assignment. - 3. Name and place of abode of the assignee. - 4. Name and place of abode of the author. - 5. Short description of nature and subject of the work. - And if desired, - 6. A sketch outline or photograph of the work. - -The enactments of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 (the Literary Copyright Act) as to - - 1. Keeping the Register Book; - 2. Searches and certified copies therefrom; - 3. False entries; - 4. Application to expunge, - -apply _mutatis mutandis_ to registration of paintings, drawings, and -photographs. - -The charge for making an entry is one shilling. - -_Name._--The trading style of a firm is a sufficient registration of -the name of a proprietor. - -_Place of Abode._--The place where a man can readily be found on -inquiry is sufficient. A business address is a "place of abode" within -the statute. - -_Short Description of the Nature and Subject of the Work._--The title -of the work will sometimes be a sufficient description. The following -were held sufficient descriptions of Sir John Millais' well-known -pictures, viz.: "Painting in oil, 'Ordered on Foreign Service'"; -"Painting in oil, 'My First Sermon'"; "Photograph, 'My Second -Sermon.'"[940] Blackburn, J., said: - - "It is the object of the legislature that enough be stated to - identify the production, and that the registration must be _bonâ - fide_, that a man shall not first claim one thing and then sue - for another. The description must be such as shall earmark the - subject.... The picture 'Ordered on Foreign Service' represents - an officer who is ordered abroad taking leave of a lady, and no - one can doubt that is the picture intended.... There may be a - few instances in which the mere registration of the name of the - picture is not sufficient: for instance, Sir Edwin Landseer's - picture of a Newfoundland dog might possibly be insufficiently - registered under the description of 'A Distinguished Member of the - Humane Society.' So also of a bullfinch and a couple of squirrels - described as 'Piper and a Pair of Nut-crackers.' ... It would be - advisable for a person proposing to register to add a sketch or - outline of the work."[941] - -In the learned judge's opinion deficient description although it would -not be sufficient in itself, may be made sufficient by the addition of -a photograph, sketch, or outline. It would seem, however, that there -must be a description of some kind, and that a photograph or sketch -would not by itself be sufficient. - -=Immoral Works.=--There will be no copyright in profane, libellous, or -indecent[942] works of art. - -=Duration of Protection.=--The copyright under the Fine Arts Act -endures for the term of the natural life of the "author" and seven -years after his death.[943] - -Copyright will cease if and when any painting or drawing or the -negative of any photograph is sold by the first owner thereof without -either the express reservation in writing of such copyright to the -vendor signed by the vendee or his agent, or the express assignment in -writing of such copyright to the vendee signed by the vendor or his -agent.[944] - -The copyright will also cease (probably) if the work is published out -of the British dominions before publication within the dominions.[945] - - -SECTION II.--THE OWNER OF THE COPYRIGHT. - -=The Author.=--The copyright is given to "the author and his assigns," -except when the work is executed for or on behalf of any other person -for a good or valuable consideration.[946] The author is the actual -artist whose mind has created the work.[947] The giving of ideas and -suggestions to another is not sufficient to constitute an author,[948] -but, on the other hand, there might be an author who had done little -or nothing of the manual work required in the execution. In _Nottage_ -v. _Jackson_ the question of authorship in works of art was fully -discussed. Brett, M. R., said: - - "The author of a painting is the man who paints it, the author of - a drawing is the man who draws it,... of a photograph the author - is the person who effectively is as near as he can be the cause - of the picture which is produced, that is, the person who has - superintended the arrangement, who has actually formed the picture - by putting the people into position and arranging the place in - which the people are to be--the man who is the effective cause of - that. Although he may only have done it by standing in the room - and giving orders about it, still it is his mind and act, as far - as anybody's mind and act are concerned, which is the effective - cause of the picture such as it is when it is produced." - -Cotton, L. J., in the same case, said: - - "In my opinion 'author' involves originating, making, - producing, as the inventive or master mind, the thing which is - to be protected, whether it be a drawing or a painting or a - photograph.... It is not the person who suggests the idea but the - person who makes the painting or drawing who is the author." - -=The Employer.=--When an artistic work, protected by 25 & 26 Vict. c. -68, is executed by the author for or on behalf of any other person for -a good or valuable consideration, the copyright vests in the employer -and his assigns, unless it be expressly reserved to the author by -agreement in writing signed by the employer.[949] This provision -applies to the everyday case of a person employing and paying a -painter or photographer to take his portrait. The copyright vests -in the customer.[950] The case, however, is not always so simple. -Difficult questions arise where the artist, usually a photographer, -requests the sitter, probably an actress or athlete, to allow his -portrait to be taken on the understanding that the artist may publish -and sell copies.[951] The sitter probably receives free copies or -copies at a reduced price. The difficulties to be solved are purely -questions of fact in each case, viz.: - - 1. Was the portrait taken for or on behalf of some person - other than the artist? - 2. Did the artist receive good and valuable consideration? - -As a rule, where a photographer invites celebrities to sit for -him, the understanding will be that the portrait is taken on the -photographer's behalf;[952] but at the same interview some plates -might be taken on behalf of the photographer and some on behalf of the -sitter.[953] The valuable consideration received by the photographer -need not be a money payment, but may consist merely in the right given -to him to publish and sell copies.[954] - -When a managing director of a company employed A to make drawings for -a trade catalogue, the letterpress of which he wrote himself, it was -held that he was acting merely as agent for the company, and that as -the drawings were made not on his behalf but on behalf of the company -he was not the proprietor.[955] - -=The Assignee.=--Assignment is required to be by some note or -memorandum in writing signed by the proprietor of the copyright or his -agent appointed for that purpose in writing.[956] Registration is not -necessary to effect assignment,[957] although the assignee must be -registered before he can sue.[958] - -No particular words are required in an assignment,[959] but there must -be a present grant and not only an executory contract.[960] - -_Partial Assignment._--It is doubtful whether a copyright can be -partially assigned, either limited as to a copying of a particular -kind or limited as to place or time.[961] What is called by the -parties an assignment may only amount to a licence. In _Lucas_ v. -_Cooke_[962] the proprietor of the copyright in a picture granted the -following document to an engraver: "I assign to you for the purposes -of an engraving of one size the copyright of the picture painted by -Mr. E. V. Eddie, entitled "Going to Work," and being a portrait of my -daughter." Fry, J., said: - - "The result of this instrument in my view was that after the - preparation of the engraving and the registration, Mr. Lucas (the - engraver) became the owner of the copyright of the print or - engraving, and Mr. Halford remained the owner of the copyright of - the painting." - -It was held that the engraver, in order to succeed against a copyist, -would have to show that the alleged infringement was a copy of his -engraving, another copy of the picture itself was no infringement of -his rights. The transaction was a licence, and probably a licensee can -never sue in his own name. In one case,[963] however, Mathew, J., held -that a sole licensee for a limited time could sue, and did not require -to be registered. The plaintiff had acquired from the proprietor of -the copyright in a picture the sole right to reproduce it in chromo -for two years. The defendants also produced a chromo of the picture -taken directly from the picture and not from the plaintiff's chromo. -Mathew, J., held that the plaintiff, as sole licensee, was entitled to -prevent any one infringing his right, and that being a licensee and -not an assignee, his name was not required to be on the register. This -is a very doubtful decision. - - -SECTION III.--INFRINGEMENT. - -=Prohibited Acts and Remedies.=--The right given is "the sole and -exclusive right of copying, engraving, reproducing, and multiplying a -painting or drawing and the design thereof, or a photograph and the -negative thereof by any means and of any size."[964] - -It is an offence for the author having parted with the copyright, or -for any other person not being the proprietor[965]-- - - 1. To repeat, copy, colourably imitate or otherwise - multiply for sale, hire, exhibition, or distribution. - 2. Knowingly to import into the United Kingdom, or sell, - publish, let to hire, exhibit, or distribute, or offer - for sale, hire, exhibition, or distribution any copy - unlawfully made. - -And for any of the above offences an action lies at the instance of -the proprietor for[966]-- - - i. Sum not exceeding £10 on each copy made or dealt - with.[967] - ii. Forfeiture of copies to the proprietor.[968] - iii. Inspection and account.[969] - iv. Damages.[970] - v. Injunction.[971] - -Penalties and forfeiture of copies may also be obtained by summary -proceedings before any two justices having jurisdiction where the -party offending resides.[972] - -It is further an offence-- - - 3. Innocently to import or sell, publish, let to hire, exhibit, - or distribute, or offer for sale, hire, exhibition, - or distribution any copy made without the - owner's consent. - -For any of which an action lies at the instance of the proprietor of -the copyright for[973]-- - - i. Damages. - ii. Delivery up of copies, - iii. Inspection and account.[974] - iv. Injunction.[975] - -In addition to sections 6 and 11, where importing is treated as an -infringement involving penalties and damages, section 10 contains a -direct prohibition against importing copies "made contrary to the -provisions of the Act," and on the declaration of the proprietor such -copies may be detained by the officers of Customs.[976] - -_Cause or Procure._--It is equally an offence to "cause or procure" -any of the above acts.[977] It may be sometimes difficult to determine -whether a person has "caused or procured" within the meaning of the -section. In _Bolton_ v. _London Exhibitions_[978] the defendants -ordered a poster for the advertisement of their exhibition at Earl's -Court; they gave the lithographer a general idea of what was wanted, -and told him to do his best. The lithographer, in preparing the -poster, infringed the copyright in the plaintiff's photograph of -a lion. It was held that as the defendants did not authorise the -reproduction of the plaintiff's lion they had not "caused or procured" -the infringement complained of; the action against them was therefore -dismissed, but without costs, as they should have exercised more care -in the matter. - -_Innocent Agent._--If a publisher procures a printer to strike off -copies of an infringement, the printer is liable even although -he is entirely innocent. It was argued in _Baschet_ v. _London -Illustrated_[979] that the printer was only liable if he printed for -his own use, and that if another caused or procured him to print, it -was only the person causing or procuring who was liable. It was held -that both the employers and employees were liable for the same offence. - -_Unlawful Copy._--If a copy is made in a foreign country in which -the proprietor's copyright is not protected, such copy is not a copy -"unlawfully made," and therefore no penalties will attach under -section 6 for knowingly importing or selling such copy;[980] but -under section 11 damages may be sued for, since under that section -it is an offence to import or sell copies made without consent, and -delivery up may be claimed under the same section, because such copies -when offered for sale become unlawful copies although not unlawfully -made.[981] The same distinction applies to selling or importing copies -made before registration, such copies not being "unlawfully made."[982] - -_Separate Offence._--Each piratical copy made or dealt with, and not -only each transaction, is an offence under section 6, and involves a -separate penalty.[983] Blackburn, J., says in _ex parte Beal_:[984] - - "It would be a monstrous absurdity if a man might import a cargo - of pirated works from France and £10 be the utmost penalty that - could be imposed. Such a state of the law would render it worth a - man's while to do wrong."[985] - -It was held in several cases[986] that as 1/4d. was the smallest coin -of the realm, the minimum penalty must be 1/4d. for each copy. This -has now been overruled in the Court of Appeal in _Hildesheimer_ v. -_Faulkner_,[987] and a fraction of 1/4d. can be assessed as the penalty. - -_Copying for Private Use_ will probably not be actionable, since -the offence is to copy, &c., for sale, hire, exhibition, or -distribution.[988] Gratuitous distribution would, however, be -actionable. - -_Action on Breach of Contract._--Although no action may lie for -infringement, either because the party aggrieved has no copyright -or is not duly registered, there may be a remedy for breach of -contract express or implied. Thus if A contract to make copies of B's -drawing, even although B has no copyright therein, it is a breach of -contract for A to make any copies other than for the use of B.[989] -And again, a photographer who has been employed by a customer to -take his portrait is not justified in striking off copies of such -photograph for his own use, or selling or exhibiting them by way of -advertisement or otherwise, without the authority of such customer -express or implied, and even although the customer is not registered -as proprietor of the photograph.[990] - -_Fraudulent Acts._--The following acts if committed fraudulently are -rendered penal by the Act:[991] - - 1. To affix any name, initials, or monogram on any - work.[992] - 2. To sell, exhibit, &c., a work bearing false name, initials, - or monogram. - 3. To represent a copy as the work of an original - "author." - 4. To sell or publish an altered work as the unaltered - work of an original "author." - -For any of these fraudulent acts the person aggrieved may recover by -action[993]-- - - i. Sum not exceeding £10 or double the full value of - the fraudulent works. - ii. Delivery up of the fraudulent works. - iii. Injunction. - -But such penalties will not be incurred if the person whose name or -work has been fraudulently dealt with has been dead for more than -twenty years. - -_Limitation of Action._--There is no special limit fixed by the Act of -1862, and therefore the remedy on an offence within the statute will -not be barred for six years.[994] - -_Evidence._--In any action for the infringement of copyright in a -picture, it will be sufficient to produce in evidence an authenticated -copy of the picture, _e. g._ a photograph with the oral evidence of the -photographer.[995] - -=What is a Piratical Copy.=--_No Monopoly._--There can be no monopoly -of the subject-matter of a painting, drawing, or photograph. Another -artist may independently represent the same scene or object as that -represented in a copyright work.[996] - -_What is a Copy._--A piratical copy need not necessarily be an -artistic work of the same kind as the work pirated. Thus an oil -painting is infringed by a photograph of it,[997] and a photograph -may be infringed by a pencil sketch.[998] An infringement may consist -of either a taking of the design or a taking of the method of -execution, or both. Thus an infringement need not even be a kind of -work which would be protected by this Act. Although there is no direct -authority, it is clear from section 2, which gives the exclusive -right to the design of the work protected, that an engraving would -be an infringement of a painting, drawing, or photograph, and so -perhaps might a piece of sculpture.[999] Then again the design may -not be copyright, for instance, in the case of a photograph of a -non-copyright picture, and yet it would be an infringement to take a -photograph of such a photograph. That would be a taking of the method -of execution.[1000] - -The infringement must be an artistic work of some kind, _i. e._ such -a work that would be protected if not under the Act of 1862, under -the Engraving Acts or Sculpture Act. In _Hanfstaengl_ v. _Empire -Palace_[1001] the Court held that the grouping of people on a stage so -as to form _tableaux vivants_ was not an infringement in the copyright -of a picture thus represented. Kay, L. J., in his judgment, said: - - "Could it possibly have been said the _tableaux vivants_ were - pictures within the sense of this Act, and does not a reproduction - mean something in which, if the original author of the painting - had himself produced it, he might have had copyright." - -_General Idea may be Taken._--It is not an infringement to take -merely the general idea of subject-matter and treatment from a -copyright work of art. In _Hanfstaengl_ v. _Baines_,[1002] the -_tableaux vivants_ which were the subject of the last case cited were -sketched and reproduced in the _Daily Graphic_. It was contended that -these sketches infringed the copyright in the pictures from which -the _tableaux vivants_ were taken. The House of Lords, affirming -the judgment of the Court of Appeal, held that they did not. Lord -Herschell, L. C., in giving judgment, pointed out that the essence of -the design varied according to the nature of the picture. Sometimes it -might be principally in the grouping of the figures, sometimes in the -pose and countenances. Referring to one of the sketches complained of, -he said: - - "There is no doubt a resemblance between the sketch and the - photograph from the painting. In each case a young man and a - young woman are standing beside one another close to a stile or - fence. In each case the woman is shading her head by a parasol, - and the dress of the man is somewhat similar in the two, but - the idea of a young man courting a young woman at a country - stile is of great antiquity. It has often formed the subject of - pictorial representation. This cannot be said to be the design - of the plaintiff's painting within the meaning of the Act. Much - more must be comprehended than this. There can only be a copy of - such design if the treatment of the subject be the same. Now, - comparing the sketch of the photograph from the painting, I do not - think this can be said to be the case. The faces are different, - the dress especially in the case of the woman is different, the - pose is different, the attitudes are different, the backgrounds - are different, and in the case of the sketch the foreground is - wanting. In the artistic design all these things play a part, - although I do not say that a variation in one or even more of - these respects would prevent the sketch being a copy of the - design. Yet, comparing the two and considering the design of - the painting as a whole, I cannot avoid the conclusion that the - sketch is not a copy of the painting or of the design thereof, and - therefore there has been no infringement." - -His lordship concluded by saying that such questions really depended -on the effect produced on the mind by a study of the picture and -of that which is alleged to be a copy of it. In _Guggenheim_ v. -_Leng_[1003] the plaintiff was the owner of the copyright in a -photograph of a football team. The defendant, without authority, -made from the photograph rough sketches of the various individual -portraits, and published them in his newspaper. It was held not to be -an infringement. - -_Material Part._--There is no piracy of an artistic work unless a -material part of the work is taken. What amounts to a material part -must be a question of fact in each case, and it is impossible to lay -down any definite rule. In _Moore_ v. _Clarke_[1004] a horse was -taken from a copyright print and inserted in another print among -different surroundings. In the second print the horse appeared to -be going in a different direction, and the jockey on his back was -differently dressed. The judge directed the jury to consider whether -the defendant's engraving was substantially a copy of the plaintiff's, -and the jury came to the conclusion that it was not. In _Brooks_ v. -_Religious Tract Society_[1005] a collie dog, identical in expression, -attitude, and position, was, together with a wall in the background -and a table, taken from a copyright picture and inserted in a woodcut. -The woodcut differed from the picture in that the figure of a child -was omitted, and in its place two cats and a tortoise and other -details were inserted. Romer, J., held that there was a piracy: - - "It was not only the dog that was taken, but also the feeling and - artistic character of the plaintiff's work.... If a person were - to take an historical picture, and take out of it the principal - figure, and reproduce that figure without the other surroundings, - that would be an infringement. The present case was a stronger - case, because the defendants had not only taken the principal - figure of a dog, but copied as well the sentiment of the picture." - -_Indirect Taking._--It is equally an infringement, although the -copying is indirect.[1006] Thus, for instance, the photograph of an -engraving may infringe the copyright of the picture from which it is -taken.[1007] - -_Guilty Knowledge._--It is no defence to say that the taking was -an innocent one and unintentional.[1008] In the case of a claim -for penalties in respect of importing or selling piratical copies, -knowledge of infringement must necessarily be proved, but in no -other case. But the question of intention cannot always be wholly -disregarded, as it may guide the Court in determining whether the -alleged infringement is a copy or not.[1009] - -_Replicas._--It is an infringement of the proprietor's right for an -author who has parted with his copyright to make a replica of the -work; but if he has made replicas before selling his copyright it -would be no infringement to sell these replicas. _Quære_ whether it -would be an infringement after selling his copyright in the original -work to take photographs or engravings of the replicas; probably it -would. - -_Licence a Defence._--Licence must be in writing, signed by the -proprietor of copyright or by his agent authorised in writing;[1010] -but probably an oral consent would be a good defence.[1011] - -An assignee is not bound by a licence granted by the assignor before -the assignment, unless he has notice of it.[1012] - -The licensee will be kept strictly within the limits of his licence. -When a licence was granted to reproduce a photograph in one magazine, -it was held an infringement of copyright to reproduce it in another, -and the contention that there was a custom in the publishing trade -allowing this to be done on tender of payment was characterised as -ridiculous.[1013] - - - - -CHAPTER IX - -COLONIAL COPYRIGHT - - -Every British Possession has the power to legislate independently -as regards the protection within its own territory of literary or -artistic works first produced therein.[1014] In respect of such -works they may either limit or extend the protection afforded by the -Imperial Acts. Most of our larger colonies have local Acts.[1015] -Some of the colonies[1016] have, for instance, created a copyright in -the news contained in foreign telegrams, a monopoly unknown under the -Imperial Acts. It is not proposed here to deal with the colonial local -Acts. They are of interest only in the various colonies themselves. -This chapter will be restricted to the rights of a work published in -one part of the British dominions to receive protection in any other -part of the British dominions. This is controlled by the Imperial -Copyright Acts, which extend since 1886 to every British Possession, -and protect works published anywhere therein apart from any local -legislation. - -=Books.=--Before 1886, the Copyright Act, 1842, although it applied -to the whole of the British dominions, only protected those books -which were first published in the United Kingdom. A book, therefore, -published first, say in Canada or Australia, received no copyright -protection except by local legislation, if any, within the territory -of the particular colony where it was first published. - -A book first published in the United Kingdom was protected in every -British colony, not only against copying but against the importation -of reprints. The smaller and poorer colonies found this a considerable -grievance. They alleged that they were unable to afford the price of -English books, and that as they were prohibited from importing foreign -reprints and had little or no contemporary literature of their own, -they were reduced to reading the classics or nothing at all. The -Colonial Copyright Act, 1847,[1017] was passed to give them relief. -It enacts that when reasonable protection to the British author shall -be provided in any British possession by the legislature of such -possession, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, declare that so long -as such protecting provision shall be in force all Acts prohibiting -the importation or sale or hire of foreign copies shall be in respect -of such possession suspended. Altogether twenty colonies[1018] have -taken advantage of this Act. It has been found, however, that the -protecting provisions are of little value, and that the duties which -are supposed to be levied on foreign reprints for the benefit of the -British author are continually evaded, and the colonies under the -Foreign Reprints Act are overrun with foreign reprints of popular -books which, coming in practically free of duty, make the authors' -copyright in such colonies absolutely valueless. - -Books first published in the colonies received Imperial protection -in 1886, when the International Copyright Act[1019] of that year was -passed. It enacts that the Copyright Acts shall apply to a literary or -artistic work first produced in a British Possession in like manner -as they apply to a work first produced in the United Kingdom,[1020] -with a proviso, firstly, that the enactments as to registration -shall not apply if the law of the Possession in question provides -for registration; and, secondly, that no delivery of copies shall -be required. There is also a provision for evidence of colonial -copyright by certified extract from the colonial register. - -_Canada_ came under the Foreign Reprints Act, and, as a result, was so -inundated with cheap reprints from the United States that the Canadian -publishers, in 1875, obtained a local Act for their protection.[1021] -This Act enacts that works of which the copyright has been granted and -is subsisting in the United Kingdom, and copyright of which is not -secured or subsisting in Canada under any Canadian or provincial Act, -shall, upon being printed and published or reprinted and republished -in Canada, be entitled to copyright under the Canadian Act.[1022] It -prohibits _inter alia_ copying and importation of foreign copies, but -nothing in the Act is to be held to prohibit the importation from the -United Kingdom of copies of such works legally printed there. The -Canadian Act is confirmed by an Imperial Act, the Canada Copyright -Act, 1875,[1023] and this enacts that the Canadian copies of a British -book may not be imported into the United Kingdom without the author's -consent. - -Although Canada came under the Foreign Reprints Act, 1847,[1024] and -in accordance therewith imposed duties on foreign reprints for the -benefit of the owner of the copyright, the collection of those duties -has now been abandoned by the Tariff Customs Act (Canada), 1894,[1025] -the result of which is that as regards Canada the provisions of the -Imperial Copyright Act, 1842,[1026] section 17, are revived and the -importation of foreign copies of works having an Imperial copyright is -again prohibited.[1027] The same result will occur in other colonies -which may by statute abandon their enactments for the collection of -authors' duties. - -The Canadian Legislature has recently passed a Copyright Act[1028] -purporting to affect the importation into Canada of books published -under an Imperial Copyright. The Act provides that if a book has -acquired Imperial Copyright by first publication in the British -dominions outside Canada, and a licence has been granted for its -reproduction in Canada, the Canadian Minister of Agriculture may -prohibit the importation into Canada of any copies of such book -printed out of Canada and imported without the licensee's consent. - -I think it is doubtful whether the last-mentioned Act is not _ultra -vires_ of the Canadian Legislature. The Canadians have, since the -British North American Act, 1867, claimed that they have the exclusive -power of legislating in respect of and regulating copyright within -the Dominion of Canada. This claim, however, has not been recognised -in the Canadian courts. In _Smiles_ v. _Belford_[1029] a book was -copyrighted in England, but not under the local Act of 1875 in Canada. -An action was brought by the proprietor to restrain a reprint of -the book in Canada. The defendants pleaded that the book was not -protected in Canada since it was not copyrighted under the local Act. -They argued that the British North American Act, in giving to the -Parliament of Canada "exclusive legislative authority" in certain -matters, including copyrights, excluded the operation of the Imperial -Acts in Canada. They further argued that the confirmation of the -Canadian Copyright Act, 1875, by the Imperial Parliament impliedly -repealed the Imperial Copyright Act of 1842 in so far as it extended -to Canada. The Court held that neither of these arguments was sound. -With reference to the argument on the British North American Act, -Burton, J. A., in the Court of Appeal, said: - - "It is clear, I think, that all the Imperial Act intended to - effect was to place the right of dealing with colonial copyright - within the Dominion under the exclusive control of the Parliament - of Canada, as distinguished from the provincial legislatures.... I - entirely concur with the learned Vice-Chancellor in the opinion he - has expressed that under that Act no greater powers were conferred - upon the Parliament of the Dominion to deal with this subject than - had been previously enjoyed by the local legislatures." - -As regards the Imperial Act confirming the Canada Copyright Act, 1875, -the Court held that it was passed merely to resolve doubts which would -otherwise have arisen as to whether the Canada Copyright Act was not -repugnant to the provisions of the Foreign Reprints Act, 1847, and -the Order in Council thereunder applicable to Canada. Burton, J. A., -said: - - "It is scarcely reasonable to suppose that if the Imperial - Parliament had thought fit to accept the Canadian enactment as - a substitute for the 5 & 6 Vict. they would not have repealed - it so far as it affected Canada in express terms, or that when - stating a reason for Imperial legislation they would have confined - themselves to a reference to the Order in Council, which dealt - only with a portion of the prohibition referred to in that - statute. I am of opinion, therefore, that they have stated the - only reason which rendered it expedient to seek a confirmation of - the Provisional Act, and that it was intended to preserve intact - so much of the Imperial Act as prohibits the printing of a British - copyright work in Canada, but giving to the author a further right - on certain conditions of securing a Canadian copyright and thus - preventing the importation into Canada of foreign reprints." - -For some considerable time before the passing of the Canadian Act of -1900, the Canadians were negotiating for a clause in the Copyright -Bill in this country enabling them to pass a similar provision to that -which they have now passed without Imperial sanction. A clause was -inserted in Lord Monkswell's Literary Copyright Bill, 1900, proposing -to give to all the colonies such a power of protecting licensees. The -Canadians, however, impatient of the delay in copyright reform in this -country, passed their own Act without waiting to obtain authority. It -would certainly be satisfactory to see it confirmed by an Imperial -statute. - -_Summary of Provisions in respect of Books._--The result of the -various enactments with reference to the colonies is that, as regards -copying, every book first published in any part of the British -dominions is protected in every other part of the British dominions. -The book must be duly registered either in the colony or dependency -where it is produced, or, if such colony or dependency does not -provide a proper system of registration, at Stationers' Hall in -London. The protection within the colony in which a book is first -produced depends on local legislation if such overrides the Imperial -legislation. As to importation of copies, the result is not so simple, -but it may be summarised thus: - -If a book has been first published anywhere within the British -dominions, the following prohibitions apply: - -I. _The United Kingdom._--There shall not be imported into, or sold -in, without the consent in writing of the owner of the copyright-- - - Copies printed outside the British dominions.[1030] - Copies printed in Canada under the Canadian Act.[1031] - -II. _Canada._--If the book has been printed and published, or -reprinted and republished,[1032] and registered in Canada, there shall -not be imported into, or sold in, without the consent in writing of -the owner of the copyright-- - - Copies printed outside Canada[1033] unless legally printed in the - United Kingdom under an Imperial copyright existing prior to the - acquirement of a Canadian local copyright.[1034] - -If a book has acquired Imperial copyright by first publication within -the British dominions outside Canada, and the owner of the copyright -has granted a licence to reproduce it in Canada, there shall not be -imported (if the Minister of Agriculture so order) without the consent -in writing of the Canadian licensee-- - - Copies printed outside Canada.[1035] - -In other cases these shall not be imported or sold without the written -consent of the owner of the copyright-- - - Copies printed outside the British dominions. - -III. _Colonies under the Act of 1847 other than Canada._--There is no -prohibition except the nominal import duty on copies printed outside -the British dominions. - -IV. _Other Colonies._--There shall not be imported into or sold in -without the consent in writing of the owner of the copyright-- - - Copies printed outside the British dominions.[1036] - -=Artistic Works.=--We have seen that since the International Copyright -Act, 1886, there is complete protection throughout the whole of the -British dominions for books first published anywhere therein. It was -evidently intended that artistic works should be placed on the same -footing, but unfortunately the distinction between the literary and -artistic Acts was overlooked. The Copyright Act, 1842, protected -books published in the United Kingdom, but expressly extended the -protection to the whole of the British dominions. None of the -artistic copyright Acts extend their protection beyond the United -Kingdom. The Engraving Acts expressly limit their protection to the -United Kingdom;[1037] the Paintings, Drawings, and Photographs Act -expressly limits its remedies to the United Kingdom;[1038] and the -Sculpture Act is silent as to the extent of its protection.[1039] -The result seems to be that although since 1886 all works of art -first published anywhere throughout the British dominions will be -protected by Imperial legislation, that protection extends no further -than the United Kingdom. This has been decided by a divisional Court -in Canada in respect of the Paintings, Drawings, and Photographs -Act, 1862.[1040] The decision will apply _a fortiori_ to engravings. -Sculptures may be different, in that there is no express limit -contained in the Sculptures Act; but probably a limitation of -protection to the United Kingdom will be implied. The result is that -artistic works are only protected in the Colonies and dependencies -under local legislation. - - - - -CHAPTER X - -INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT - - -=Works first produced in His Majesty's Dominions= are protected in -those foreign countries with which there is a treaty for the mutual -protection of literary and artistic rights. These countries are the -signatories of the Berne Convention,[1041] and Austria-Hungary, with -which there is a separate treaty on similar lines. Generally it may -be presumed that each of these countries has by domestic legislation -given full effect to the international agreement, and that all works -which are protected in this country, and would have been protected if -first produced in the foreign country in question, will receive the -same protection there as would be accorded to a work first produced -in such foreign country. The protection, however, must be sought in -the foreign country and not here. The Courts of this country will not -grant any redress for the infringement of a British author's copyright -in a foreign State, even although such infringement be perpetrated by -a British subject resident in England.[1042] - -=Works first produced in foreign countries with which this country has -no treaty= are in no way protected from infringement in the United -Kingdom, unless they are produced within His Majesty's dominions -simultaneously with their production elsewhere.[1043] - -=Works first produced in foreign countries with which this country has -a treaty= are protected from infringement in His Majesty's dominions -by the domestic legislation of the United Kingdom. - -Before December 6, 1887, foreign works were protected by virtue of the -International Copyright Acts of 1844, 1852, and 1875, and numerous -Orders in Council, now revoked, giving effect to treaties with various -foreign States. As the subsequent provisions under the International -Copyright Act, 1886, are retrospective, it is unnecessary to examine -the old law in any detail. On one important point, however, it will -be necessary to mention some of the provisions of the International -Copyright Acts which were applicable before December 6, 1887, since -the subsequent legislation, in giving protection to works which were -produced before that date and were then unprotected, enacts that its -retrospective effect shall not prejudice rights and interests lawfully -acquired before it came into operation. The law before 1887 has to be -examined to determine what these rights and interests are. - -Since December 6, 1887, the rights of foreign authors in His Majesty's -dominions have depended on the provisions of the International -Copyright Acts of 1844, 1852, 1875, and 1886, the Berne Convention -of 1887, and an Order in Council of November 28, 1887. To these are -now added the Additional Act of Paris, 1896, and an Order in Council -of March 7, 1898. These may now all be read together, and apply to -all foreign works first produced in the countries to which they are -applicable. It should be mentioned here that Austria-Hungary has -a convention of its own, and in dealing with works produced there -that convention and the Orders in Council giving it effect must be -substituted for the Berne Convention and Additional Act of Paris -and the Orders in Council above mentioned. Norway has not become a -signatory of the Additional Act of Paris, and therefore in dealing -with works produced there the Berne Convention must be read as -unmodified by the Additional Act. - -It is proposed to deal here in detail with the provisions of the -Acts, Orders in Council, and treaties as they apply to the majority -of the foreign countries, _i. e._ those which are signatories of the -Berne Convention and the Additional Act of Paris. As regards Norway -and Austria-Hungary the law differs very slightly. The law applicable -to Norway can easily be ascertained by reading the Berne Convention -without the Additional Act. The law applicable to Austria-Hungary is -almost identical, except that it affords protection in the United -Kingdom and all colonies except Canada, the Cape, New South Wales, -and Tasmania, and not in the whole of His Majesty's dominions, as in -the case of the signatories to the Berne Convention. - -The countries whose works are protected in His Majesty's dominions are -as follows: - - Germany } - Belgium } - Spain } - France } - Haiti } Signatories of the Berne - Italy } Convention, 1887, and Additional - Switzerland } Act of Paris, 1896. - Tunis } - Monaco } - Luxembourg } - Japan } - Norway Signatory of the Berne Convention, 1887. - Austria-Hungary Having a separate convention, - April 24, 1893; given effect to by - Orders in Council, April 30, 1894, - and February 2, 1895. - -=What Foreign Works are entitled to Protection.=--Those works are -protected which are first produced in any of the foreign countries of -the Union, and which-- - - (_a_) Are protected by the law of the country of origin, and: - (_b_) Would have been protected in the United Kingdom - if first produced in the United Kingdom. - -_Produced._--"Produced" means, as the case requires, published or -made, or performed, or represented,[1044] or, in other words, the -act which is deemed to vest the author or publisher of the work -with exclusive rights of reproduction or publication. Thus in the -United Kingdom a book or an engraving or sculpture is produced when -it is first published. A painting is produced when it is made. A -musical or dramatic work as regards the performing right is probably -produced[1045] when it is first performed or represented. But it -would seem that, in considering when a work is produced, the law of -the foreign country or countries in question must first be inquired -into, and it will be considered to be produced in the country where an -act is done which first invests it with protection in the nature of -copyright. - -If a work is produced simultaneously in two or more countries of -the Union, it is deemed to be first produced in that country where -the term of copyright accorded to it is shortest. And if a work is -produced simultaneously in His Majesty's dominions and in one or more -of the foreign countries of the Union, and according to the above -rule is deemed to be first produced in a foreign country, it will be -protected under the International Acts and not under the Copyright -Acts applicable to works first produced in the United Kingdom, and -_vice versâ_. If a work is produced simultaneously in a foreign -country not within the Union and in a foreign country within it, it -would no doubt be deemed to be first produced in the foreign country -within the Union, although there is no legislative enactment to this -effect. - -_Character of Work._--In order to obtain protection in this country, -a foreign work must be such as is protected in the country of -origin.[1046] In each case, therefore, it is necessary to inquire into -the laws of the country where the work is deemed to have been first -produced.[1047] - -The work must also be such as would have obtained protection if first -produced in the United Kingdom,[1048] and it is therefore necessary in -each case to inquire also into the law of this country.[1049] - -_Unpublished Works._--Unpublished works of foreign authors -are expressly included in the convention as works entitled to -protection.[1050] If, therefore, they are protected in the country -of origin, and would be protected if they had been the works of -British authors, they are entitled to protection within His Majesty's -dominions. In the case of unpublished works the country to which the -author belongs is considered the country of origin.[1051] - -_Special Provisions._--There is also express stipulation in the -conventions as to the inclusion of the following works: - - Posthumous works:[1052] - Authorised translations (to be protected as original works):[1053] - Photographic works and works produced by an analogous process:[1054] - Choregraphic works.[1055] - -=Works produced in Foreign Countries before December 6, 1887.=--As is -explained above the international treaties and domestic legislation -in this country are retrospective, and apply to all works whenever -produced. The International Act, 1886, sec. 6 (1),[1056] provides -that-- - - "When an Order in Council is made under the International - Copyright Acts with respect to any foreign country, the author - and publisher of any literary or artistic work first produced - before the date at which such order comes into operation, shall - be entitled to the same rights and remedies as if the said Acts - and this Act and the said Order had applied to the said foreign - country at the date of the said production." - -The Berne Convention, article 14, provides that-- - - "The present convention applies to all works which at the moment - of its coming into force have not yet fallen into the public - domain in the country of origin."[1057] - -It was suggested that these retrospective provisions only applied -to works produced between the date of the Act of 1886 and December -6, 1887, _i. e._ the date at which the Order in Council of November -28, 1887, came into operation.[1058] Charles, J., however, refused -to accept such a construction, and said that he felt no doubt that -section 6 of the International Copyright Act, 1886, applied to all -literary and artistic works produced before the date at which the -Order in Council came into operation, whether they were produced -before or after the passing of the Act.[1059] - -In _Lauri_ v. _Renad_[1060] it was held by the Court of Appeal that -when under the older law a right of translation in this country had -existed, and had expired by lapse of time, the Act of 1886 would -not operate to revive such a right, even although the rights of -reproduction and translation still subsisted in the country of origin. -This is generally thought to be an unsound decision, as the proper -test in such cases is whether the right has fallen into the public -domain, not in this country but in the country of origin. - -=Formalities required in case of Foreign Works.--= - -_In the Country of Origin_-- - - All such formalities must be observed as are necessary to entitle - to protection under the domestic law of such country.[1061] - -_In the United Kingdom_-- - - 1. Registration or delivery of copies to the libraries is - unnecessary.[1062] - 2. Musical works must bear a notice of reservation on - each authorised copy, otherwise the performing - right will be lost.[1063] - 3. Whether other formalities such as name and date - of publication on an engraving,[1064] name and date on - sculpture,[1065] are necessary _quære_. - -Before 1886 registration and delivery of copies of a foreign work -was required by the Act of 1844[1066] and various Orders in Council -in pursuance thereof. The Act of 1886, however, enacts[1067] that -the provisions of the Act of 1844 as to registration and delivery -shall not apply to works produced in a foreign country except in so -far as provided by the Order in Council referring thereto. The Order -in Council of 1887[1068] makes no provision as to registration and -delivery, and revokes all the previous Orders in Council which did. -In _Fishburn_ v. _Hollingshead_[1069] the question came before the -Court whether since 1886 any registration or delivery was necessary. -Stirling, J., held that although none of the formalities prescribed by -the International Copyright Act of 1844[1070] need be observed, yet -a foreign work must comply with the provisions of the Copyright Acts -as to registration and delivery applicable to works first produced -in this country. His _ratio decidendi_ was that a foreign work was -only entitled to the protection afforded to natives,[1071] and the -Act of 1844[1072] provided that all and singular the enactments of -the Copyright Acts in this country should apply to foreign works in -such and the same manner as if such works were published in the United -Kingdom. Charles, J., in _Hanfstaengl_ v. _Holloway_[1073] differed -from this view, and finally the Court of Appeal in _Hanfstaengl_ -v. _American Tobacco Company_[1074] held that no registration in -this country was necessary. The ground of this decision is that the -enactments of 1844 as to registration of foreign works superseded the -enactments of 1842, and when the provisions of 1844 were repealed the -provisions of 1842 did not revive. This reasoning, which appears to be -undoubtedly sound, applies equally to the provisions as to delivery -of copies. It does not, however, apply to the question whether such -formalities as the name and date of publication on an engraving are -necessary. At present the position seems to be this. The reasoning of -Stirling, J., in _Fishburn_ v. _Hollingshead_[1075] equally applies -to the formalities as to name and date on engravings and sculpture as -it does to registration and delivery. The judgment of Stirling, J., -was overruled in _Hanfstaengl_ v. _American Tobacco Company_[1076] -in the Court of Appeal, but on grounds which do not apply to these -formalities. As to them, therefore, the judgment of Stirling, J., -stands. It is very doubtful whether this is the correct view of the -law, but it is submitted that until _Fishburn_ v. _Hollingshead_[1077] -is further overruled the law is that formalities under heading 3 -_supra_ are necessary. In _Avanzo_ v. _Mudie_[1078] it was held that -a foreign print could not claim copyright under 7 & 8 Vict. c. 12, -unless the date and name were engraved thereon as required by 8 Geo. -II. c. 13. Mr. Scrutton, whose opinion in these matters carries great -weight, thinks that these formalities are not required.[1079] As a -matter of expediency they should always be observed where practicable. - -=Who are entitled to sue in respect of a Foreign Work.=--The author of -a foreign work or his assignee is probably entitled to sue in the case -of all foreign works which are protected in this country.[1080] - -The publisher of a foreign work published anonymously or -pseudonymously is entitled to sue if his name is indicated on the -work.[1081] - -=Evidence of Title.=--Where the name of the author is indicated on a -foreign work or in the case of an anonymous or pseudonymous work the -name of the publisher, such author or publisher is, in the absence -of proof that he is disentitled, entitled to sue in respect of such -foreign work.[1082] - -An extract from a register, or a certificate or other document -authenticated by the official seal or signature of a minister of -state of the foreign country of origin, or of a British diplomatic or -consular officer, lawfully acting in such foreign country, is admitted -as _primâ facie_ evidence of the owner of the copyright.[1083] - -=Protection afforded to Foreign Works.=--Generally a foreign work is -accorded-- - - 1. The same right of copyright and during the same period - as if the work had been first produced in the United - Kingdom:[1084] but - 2. No greater right or longer term of protection than it - enjoys in the country of origin.[1085] - -Section 10 of the International Copyright Act, 1844,[1086] provides -that all copies of foreign books in which there is copyright under the -International Acts, if printed or reprinted in any foreign country -_except the country of origin_, shall not be imported into the -British dominions without the consent of the proprietor. It has been -held,[1087] however, that this section does not supply a complete code -as to the importation of copies of a foreign book, and that copies -printed in the country of origin will also be prohibited in the same -way as if the book had been first published in the United Kingdom. -Section 3 of the International Copyright Act, 1844, applies to foreign -works, _inter alia_, the provisions 5 & 6 Vict., sections 15 and 17, -which prohibit the importation of any copies printed outside the -British dominions. Section 10 was held not to curtail the general -application in section 3 of the provisions of the Copyright Act, 1842, -to foreign books. - -As to certain foreign works which are dealt with below, there is -express provision in the International legislation which results in -giving such foreign works a narrower right or shorter term than they -would have if first published in this country. Where there is no -express limitation, the above general rules apply. The law of both the -country of origin and of the United Kingdom must be examined, and the -right given will be limited according to the law which affords least -protection. Where, however, according to this rule there is a right, -the Courts here will give the same remedies as they would extend to -the author of a work first published in the United Kingdom. Thus -in _Baschet_ v. _London Illustrated Standard_,[1088] Kekewich, J., -refused to consider whether a French Court would or would not award -penalties for infringement. - -_Works published before December 6, 1887_, are protected, except in so -far as such protection may prejudice rights or interests arising from -or in connection with works lawfully produced before, and subsisting -and valuable at, that date.[1089] - -This limitation is introduced by the retrospective section of the Act -of 1886, which enacts that-- - - "Where any person has before the date of the publication of an - Order in Council lawfully produced any work in the United Kingdom, - nothing in this section shall diminish or prejudice any rights or - interests arising from, or in connection with, such production - which are subsisting and valuable at the said date." - -The following are some of the classes of literary or artistic works -which were not protected before 1886 but to which the retrospective -section and its saving clause applies: - - i. Works not registered in this country under the International - Copyright Act, 1844, section 6.[1090] - ii. Works which had not acquired the translating right - under the International Copyright Act, 1852, sections 2, 4, 8. - iii. Dramatic works, as to the liberty to make fair imitations - or adaptations to the English stage under the - International Copyright Act, 1852, section 6. - -"Lawfully Produced" means that the work has been produced without -contravening any right existing at the date of its production.[1091] - -"Rights" and "Interests" are to be distinguished, the latter word -bearing a wider interpretation than the former. Right does not mean -the right to reproduce in common with all mankind, but right in the -strict legal sense of the term under the English Copyright Acts, -_i. e._ an exclusive right of property. - -When any capital has been embarked in the production of a work, -and the publisher depends on the sale of copies in stock or on -the proceeds of a future edition to recoup himself for his outlay, -there is clearly an interest although there may be no right. Where -a bandmaster had purchased a copy of a French musical composition -and instructed his band to perform it, he was held to have such an -interest as would entitle him to continue performing it after the -French composer had acquired protection under the Act of 1886.[1092] -Even where no capital has been embarked, if the publisher has a -special interest as distinct from the rest of the public in the -reproduction of the work, he has an interest within the meaning of -the section.[1093] Thus where a firm had adopted a German picture -as a trade mark for their candles, they were held to have such an -interest in the reproduction as would constitute a good defence to an -action for infringement of copyright acquired under the retrospective -operation of the Act of 1886.[1094] It has been suggested that not -only the interests of the lawful producer will be safeguarded, but -also interests arising in a third person from or in connection with -such production, and this seems to be sound.[1095] - -_Translating Right_ expires if not exercised within ten years. - -The exclusive right of translation is expressly given to the foreign -author by the Act of 1886 and the Additional Act of Paris for the -full term of his copyright in the original work, but if an authorised -translation in the English language is not published after the -expiration of ten years next after the end of the year in which -the work was first produced the translating right of the author -shall cease.[1096] If a book is published in numbers, the ten years -run from the date of publication of the last part.[1097] When a -book is composed of a number of volumes, each volume is considered -as a separate work.[1098] A translation in order to preserve the -translating right must be full and substantial.[1099] A translation -might be such as, if made without the consent of the author, would -constitute a piracy, and yet not be such a translation as is required -by the Act-- - - "What is required is that the English people should have the - opportunity of knowing the foreign work as accurately as it is - possible to know a foreign work by the medium of a version in - English."[1100] - -_Articles in Newspapers and Periodicals._[1101]--Articles, not being -serial stories or tales, appearing in a newspaper or periodical in a -foreign country, may be republished or translated in a newspaper or -periodical in this country without the consent of the owner of the -copyright, provided-- - - (_a_) In the case of articles of political discussion, the news - of the day, or miscellaneous information, the source - from which the same is taken be acknowledged. - (_b_) In the case of articles relating to any other subject, - the source from which the same is taken be acknowledged, - and the author has not signified his intention - in a conspicuous part of the newspaper or periodical - of preserving the copyright and right of translation. - -_Photographic Works._--The Additional Act of Paris runs as -follows: "It is understood that an authorised photograph of a work of -art shall enjoy legal protection in all the countries of the Union, as -contemplated by the Berne Convention, and by the present Additional -Act, for the same period as the principal right of reproduction of the -work itself subsists, and within the limits of private arrangements -between those who have legal rights."[1102] - -It would seem, therefore, that photographs of protected works of art -are not protected as original works, and that, whenever produced, -their protection stands and falls with the right in the original work. -Other photographs, including photographs of unprotected works of art, -are protected as original works. - -_Performing Right in Dramatic or Dramatic Musical Works._--Exclusive -performing right in dramatic or dramatico-musical works subsists -during the existence of the exclusive right of translation. If -the translating right is allowed to fall into the public domain -by non-exercise within ten years, the performing right falls with -it.[1103] - -There is not now as formerly any right in the public to make fair -imitations or adaptations to the English stage.[1104] - -_Express Provision as to Particular Kinds of Infringement._--The -Berne Convention, article 8, provides that the question of the right -of extract is to be decided by the legislation of the different -countries of the Union, or by special arrangement between them. -There is no special arrangement as to this with the United Kingdom, -therefore the law as to extract and quotation applicable to works -produced in this country applies. - -Article 10 of the Berne Convention enacts that indirect appropriations -such as adaptations and arrangements are included among illicit -reproductions when they do not bear the character of original work. -Here also, therefore, the law is similar to that applicable to works -produced in this country. - - - - -CHAPTER XI - -COMMON LAW - - -As to works which have been published within the meaning of the -Copyright Acts, the common law affords no protection in the nature -of copyright, that is to say, as regards the exclusive right of -reproduction, the author must rely entirely on the statutes. There -is no copyright at common law after the expiration of the period -prescribed by statute,[1105] neither is there any greater right -during that period than the statute gives.[1106] Common law remedies, -however, may be applied when the statute gives a right without a -sufficient remedy.[1107] But apart altogether from rights in the -nature of copyright, the principles of common law and equity do apply -to both published and unpublished works to prevent or to remedy the -consequences of fraud or breach of contract. - -As to works which have been composed[1108] but have not been -published, the common law affords protection to the author against -reproduction or interference of any kind.[1109] - -The rights and remedies at common law are perpetual, and are neither -limited in duration nor as regards the time within which action must -be brought, except in so far as the general rules of equity as to -acquiescence and delay or the statutes of limitation may be applicable. - -=Title: Passing off.=--_No Copyright in Title._--There is no -copyright in a title consisting, as a title usually does, of only a -few words. Thus _Belgravia_,[1110] _Sporting Life_,[1111] "Splendid -Misery,"[1112] _The Licensed Victuallers' Mirror_,[1113] and "The -Post Office Directory,"[1114] have all been decided not to be the -subject of copyright. In two decisions "The Birthday Scripture -Text-Book"[1115] and "Trial and Triumph"[1116] (as the title of a -novel) were protected on the ground of copyright in title, but since -_Dicks_ v. _Yates_[1117] in which these two decisions were cited, -and in so far as they were based on a claim of copyright in title, -disapproved, no such claim could be entertained, and the exclusive -user of a title will only be protected on the general principles of -common law and equity which prevent one man passing off his wares as -those of another man. As was pointed out by Jessel, M. R., in _Dicks_ -v. _Yates_,[1118] it is conceivable that there might be a title in -which there was copyright; for instance, if it was extremely long and -elaborate, but since _Dicks_ v. _Yates_ there is no case in the books -where a title has been protected on the ground of copyright. - -_Whether Protection is based on a Right of Property in the -Title._--The great bulk of authority is to the effect that the right -to prevent others passing off their literary works under the same -or a similar title does depend on a right of property in the title -as applied to a particular class of work, which right can only be -acquired by user.[1119] This right is regarded as a chattel interest -capable of assignment,[1120] and may be a partnership asset.[1121] -In _Walter_ v. _Emmott_,[1122] however, Cotton and Bowen, L. JJ., -expressed a strong opinion that the right to prevent a deceitful use -of title was not founded on a right of property in the title, but -on the ground of deceit alone. It is submitted that the plaintiff -in an action of this kind need not prove deceit on the part of the -defendant, and that the right is strictly a proprietary right which -must have been acquired by user before the Court will intervene. - -_Knowledge of Existence and Value on part of the Public._--This is -necessary before an author or proprietor of a literary or artistic -work can acquire a right to the exclusive use of a title in connexion -with works of a certain class. It is not sufficient that the title of -a proposed book or magazine has been extensively advertised or that it -has been registered, even although great expenditure has been incurred -in the preparation and advertisement.[1123] Any one, it would seem, -can seize the opportunity of another's advertisements and bring out -a similar book under the same or a similar title, either before the -publication of that other's book or immediately after its publication, -and before it became known to the public as an actually existing -publication which they have had an opportunity of reading and forming -an opinion of on its merits. The sale of a few copies only will not -establish a common law right in title.[1124] Not only must the work -be well known to the public, but it must also be distinctively known -under the title in which a proprietary right is claimed.[1125] - -No right can be acquired by attaching an original title to an old -work in which the publisher has no proprietary right. In _Talbot_ -v. _Judges_[1126] the plaintiffs published a work in which they had -no copyright of any kind under a title of their own invention, "The -Liberal and Radical Year-Book." The defendant published a similar -work, intituled "The Liberal Year-Book." It was held that they were -entitled to do so, as the plaintiffs could have no right in the title -when the material was in no sense their own. - -_Non-user of title_ for a considerable period will leave it open -to others to adopt the same title and to acquire a right therein -to the exclusion of the original user,[1127] but no representation -must be made, express or implied, that the subsequent publication -is a continuation of the first. If the proprietor of a magazine -incorporates it with another publication, such as the _John Bull_ with -the _Britannia_, and intitules the future publication with a joint -name such as the _John Bull and Britannia_, he can prevent any taking -of the original titles either _simpliciter_ or colourably altered, as, -for instance, _The True Britannia_.[1128] - -_No Fraud need be Proved._--When the exclusive right to a title has -been established, an innocent invasion is equally as actionable as one -tainted with fraud or intent to deceive.[1129] It is a question what -the public are likely to believe, not what it was intended they should -believe. - -_Must be Calculated to Deceive._--The question is whether the man -of ordinary intelligence is likely to be deceived, and purchase the -later publication while intending to purchase the original. It is not -sufficient to show that some thoughtless or stupid people have made -mistakes and taken the one for the other.[1130] The exclusive right to -the use of a title only extends so far as to prevent the whole or any -part of the title being used in such a way as to deceive the public, -to the injury of the proprietor of the title. Thus a part of the -title may be taken and so used in conjunction with other words, that -there can be no possibility of confusion, or the whole title may be -taken and used for an entirely different class of work, or otherwise -put before the public in such a way that mistake is practically -impossible. Thus in questions of passing off, besides the similarity -of title, the result depends on the peculiar circumstances under which -the works are produced: the time and place of publication, appearance, -such as similarity in print and binding and price, may all be of vital -importance. - -_Cases in which an Injunction was Granted._--In _Hogg_ v. -_Kirby_[1131] the defendant was interested in the sale and profits -of a magazine called _The Wonderful Magazine_. A dispute arose -between him and the proprietor of the magazine, and the defendant -thereupon published a magazine under the same title, described as _New -Series Improved_. This publication was restrained. In _Constable_ -v. _Brewster_,[1132] a Scotch case, an interdict was granted on -very similar facts. In _Chappell_ v. _Sheard_[1133] the plaintiffs -published a song, the words of which were original, but set to an old -American air, "Lillie Dale," in which there was no copyright. This -song had become popular, and was sung at concerts by a Madame Thillon. -The plaintiffs published their song under the title of "'Minnie,' -sung by Madame Anna Thillon, written by George Linley," and the cover -bore a lithographed drawing of Madame Thillon. The defendants set -other words to the same air and published it as "Minnie Dale," sung -by Madame Thillon, and their cover also bore a portrait of Madame -Thillon. The defendants' song had, in fact, never been sung by Madame -Thillon. An injunction was granted. In _Chappell_ v. _Davidson_[1134] -the same song was similarly pirated by one intituled "Minnie, -dear Minnie," and an injunction was also granted. In _Prowett_ v. -_Mortimer_[1135] _The True Britannia_ was restrained as tending to -interfere with the sale of the plaintiff's paper, _The John Bull -and Britannia_, which had incorporated the plaintiff's previous -publication, _The Britannia_. In _Clement_ v. _Maddick_[1136] the -plaintiff owned a sporting periodical paper, intituled _Bell's Life_. -The defendants were restrained from publishing a similar paper under -the title, _Penny Bell's Life_. In both publications the name Bell was -entirely pseudonymous. In _Ingram_ v. _Stiff_[1137] the defendant was -the proprietor of a weekly paper, _The London Journal_, and assigned -all his interest therein to the plaintiff, covenanting not to publish -any rival weekly paper. Two years afterwards the defendant published a -daily newspaper, _The Daily London Journal_. The Court restrained him -from continuing the publication, but their judgment seems to have gone -on the ground of breach of covenant. In _Clowes_ v. _Hogg_[1138] the -proprietors of _London Society_ were held entitled to an injunction -against _English Society_, but this was also on the ground of a -covenant between the parties. In _Corns_ v. _Griffiths_[1139] the -plaintiff published a weekly newspaper under the title, "_Iron Trade -Circular_ (Ryland's)." The defendant had for some considerable time -published a weekly report headed "_The Iron Trade_ (Griffith's Weekly -Report)," but changed his title to "_The Iron Trade Circular_ -(edited by Samuel Griffiths)," and published it in type and form very -similar to the plaintiff's newspaper. The defendant's publication -was restrained. In _Metzler_ v. _Wood_[1140] the plaintiffs were the -publishers of "Henry's Royal Modern Tutor for the Pianoforte." This -work had a very large sale. The defendants took an old work, intituled -"Jousie's Royal Standard Pianoforte Tutor," which had entirely fallen -into disuse, and employed Henry to revise it, and then published it as -"Henry's New and Revised Edition of Jousie's Royal Standard Pianoforte -Tutor." In both publications the word "Henry's" was published in large -letters, and was more conspicuous than any other part of the title. -The Court granted an injunction. James, L. J., in his judgment, said: - - "The defendants' title-page was calculated to deceive, and I - cannot conceive any reasonable theory to explain the defendants - taking an obsolete work, getting it revised by Mr. Henry, and - putting Henry's name as the prominent and striking distinguishing - mark of his work except that he intended to do that which the name - was calculated to do, viz., to mislead the public into believing - that when they were buying the defendants' work they were buying - the plaintiffs'. If it was so calculated to mislead, the case of - the plaintiffs is made out." - -_Cases where an Injunction was Refused._--In _Spottiswoode_ v. -_Clarke_[1141] Lord Cottenham, L. C., refused an interlocutory -injunction in a case of two Pictorial Almanacks, where the covers were -very similar and could hardly have been so accidentally. In a similar -case to-day an injunction would probably have gone. In _Jarrold_ v. -_Houlston_[1142] an injunction was refused to the author of "Why and -Because," in respect of a similar work intituled "The Reason Why." -There was no such similarity or colourable imitation in the title as -to support the claim. In _Bradbury_ v. _Beeton_[1143] the proprietors -of _Punch_ craved an injunction against _Punch and Judy_. There was, -however, no evidence that any one had been misled, and although the -papers were similar in size and general appearance, the colour of -the paper was slightly different, and the design on the cover was -entirely different. Malins, V. C., refused an injunction. In _Kelly_ v. -_Byles_[1144] the plaintiff had published numerous directories called -"post office" directories. Among them was "The Post Office Directory -of the West Riding of Yorkshire." An injunction was refused against -the defendant who proposed to issue a directory under the title "Post -Office Bradford Directory." The publications in no way resembled one -another. The plaintiff claimed that he had acquired an exclusive -use to the words "post office" in connection with a directory. It -was held that he could have no such exclusive right. In _Dicks_ v. -_Yates_[1145] a serial story, entitled "Splendid Misery, or East End -and West End, by C. H. Hazlewood," was being published in a magazine -called _Every Week_. Another weekly, _The World_, commenced a serial -story intituled "Splendid Misery, by the Author of Lady Audley's -Secret, Vivian, &c." The two weekly papers were of an entirely -different character, and it was held that there was nothing in the -publication of the serial story in _The World_ which was calculated to -deceive. In _Cowen_ v. _Hulton_[1146] the plaintiff was proprietor of -_The Newcastle Weekly Chronicle_ and _The Newcastle Daily Chronicle_. -He claimed an exclusive right to the use of the word "Chronicle" in -connection with newspapers in Newcastle, and craved an injunction -against the sale in Newcastle of _The Sporting Chronicle_. The Court -of Appeal, reversing the decision of North, J., refused an injunction. -In _Walter_ v. _Emmott_[1147] _The Mail_ was published three days -a week at 11 A. M., price twopence. The Court refused an injunction -against _The Morning Mail_, price one halfpenny. Both papers were -published in London. In _Borthwick_ v. _The Evening Post_[1148] the -proprietors of _The Morning Post_ claimed an injunction against _The -Evening Post_. The Court was of opinion that there was no probability -of injury to _The Morning Post_ since the papers were not competing -papers. Bowen, L. J., in his judgment, said: - - "He must be an extremely unintelligent person if he thinks - that the _Evening Post_, which disclaims all connection with - the _Morning Post_, and writes upon different topics and in a - different style, is connected with the _Morning Post_. The idea - would explode itself before he got half-way through the first - page." - -The injunction was refused. The commonest form of passing off is -by means of a similar title and binding, but any act which induces -the public to believe that A's book is the book of B is equally -actionable, and will be sustained. Thus for A to announce his book as -a continuation of B's book,[1149] or in any other way to so advertise -it as to induce the public to believe that it is B's work[1150] is -actionable. - -=Malicious Criticism.=--It would be actionable to publish of an -author's work that which was obviously untrue; for instance, that it -was an immoral or a libellous work, when no suggestion of immorality -or libel could be found in it. Apart from absolute falsehood of this -kind there is no limit to the range of criticism;[1151] a man is -entitled to form what opinion he pleases of another's work, and to -publish these opinions. So long as he confines himself to the work -criticised and the author thereof as author, he has very full liberty -of saying what he thinks. - -It may be actionable to say that a man is the author of a work which -is not his. The offence if anything would be defamation of the -author.[1152] - -=Slander of Title.=--No doubt an action would lie against any one -publishing statements in disparagement of the owner's right to a -literary or artistic work.[1153] Special damage is of the essence of -such an action. - -=Author who has parted with Copyright is entitled to protect his -Reputation.=--Although a purchaser of copyright may do what he -pleases with what he has purchased, he may not mutilate an artistic -or literary work and present it to the public in its mutilated form -as the work of the original author. The copyright in a law book -was purchased by a bookseller. The author refused to edit a third -edition, and the bookseller had the necessary alterations made for -himself. The third edition was then published without any notice -that it was prepared by any one other than the author. It contained -numerous errors. In an action by the author against the bookseller, -Lord Tenterden, C. J., in summing up, put it to the jury that if they -were of opinion that the third edition would be understood by those -who bought it to have been prepared by the plaintiff, the plaintiff -was entitled to a verdict; but if they were of opinion that persons -using reasonable care would think that this third edition was not -prepared by the plaintiff, their verdict should be for the defendant. -The jury returned a verdict of five pounds for the plaintiff.[1154] -The nature of the remedy is really an action for the defamation of the -plaintiff's reputation as an author. The Court is slow to grant an -interlocutory injunction in such an action. No doubt it would be done -in an extreme case, for instance, if the owner of performing rights -in a play inserted indecent or scandalous matter without the consent -of the author, but the Court prefers to have the legal question as to -whether the altered version is injurious to the plaintiff's reputation -tried first. In _Cox_ v. _Cox_[1155] the plaintiff had written a legal -article for the purpose of insertion in the defendant's book. The -defendant revised and shortened the article to a considerable extent, -and the plaintiff applied for an injunction in Chancery to restrain -the defendant from publishing the article in its mutilated form. Page -Wood, V. C., refused an injunction, and, in his judgment, said: - - "In respect to what was said about the plaintiff's reputation - suffering from having the legal matter supplied by him published - in a mutilated and erroneous form, according to Sir J. Clark's - case,[1156] the loss of reputation, unless connected with - property, was not a ground for coming to this Court, though it - might be an ingredient for the Court to consider when there was - property." - -One might almost infer from this judgment that if the plaintiff had -parted with his property no right of action lay for injury to his -reputation. It must be observed, however, that this was a claim for an -injunction in equity, and the judgment of Lord Tenterden in _Archbold_ -v. _Sweet_[1157] was not referred to. That and the subsequent cases -make it clear that there is a right of action on the ground of injury -to reputation alone, and that in urgent cases the Court will interfere -by interlocutory injunction. In _Gilbert_ v. _Boosey_[1158] the owner -of a performing right in an opera inserted without the permission of -the author two songs, and one of the author's songs was left out. The -opera was advertised and performed _simpliciter_ as the plaintiff's -opera without any mention of alterations. On an application for an -interlocutory injunction, Denman, J., refused to interfere at such an -early stage, but he intimated that if the songs had been indecent or -such as would obviously damage the plaintiff's reputation, he might -have granted an injunction. In _Lee_ v. _Gibbings_[1159] the defendant -had acquired the copyright in the plaintiff's "Autobiography of -Edward, Lord Herbert of Cherbury." He published a condensed edition, -on the title-page of which the plaintiff was stated _simpliciter_ to -be the author. The plaintiff alleged that the work was unscholarly -and injurious to his reputation, and craved an interim injunction. -Kekewich, J., refused the motion. The plaintiff's remedy, he said, -was founded on libel by reason of the injury to his reputation. Of -late years there had been no such thing as an injunction to restrain -a libel (except in the case of a trade libel) on an interlocutory -application or before the point had been submitted to a jury. He saw -no reason for making an exception in the case before him, and he would -express no opinion as to whether there was a libel or not. - -The Court would restrain one who published a book falsely representing -that it was the work of another.[1160] - -=Protection from Breach of Faith or Contract.=--The relationship -of parties may give rise to rights and obligations in reference -to literary or artistic matter which could not exist as between -strangers. Such rights and obligations are supported on the various -grounds of express contract, implied contract, and breach of faith. -As to express contract there is little difficulty, the ordinary rules -of contract will apply. As to implied contract or breach of faith, -these are really the same, only common law based its remedy on the -former and equity on the latter. It usually arises in the case of a -clerk or other employee between whom and the employer a confidential -relationship exists. As regards employees, the law stated briefly is -this, that during his employment he must do nothing which is contrary -to the interests of his employer; he may not in any way assist in -the production of literary or artistic work which may compete with -the work of his employer. After the termination of his employment, -apart from express contract, he is entitled to compete with his late -employer, and for that purpose may make use of the general knowledge -and information which he acquired in his employment: but he may not -for such purpose use any materials such as documents, notes, printing -blocks, &c., which he acquired in his capacity of employee and _a -fortiori_ if he acquired them surreptitiously. - -In _Jovatt_ v. _Winyard_[1161] a veterinary surgeon employed a -journeyman for the purpose of selling his medicine. While in such -service the journeyman surreptitiously got access to his books of -recipes and copied them. It was held that there was a breach of -trust, and the journeyman was restrained from selling the medicines -or printing or selling printed directions for their use. In _Prince -Albert_ v. _Strange_[1162] a workman, who was entrusted by the -Prince Consort with certain plates for the purpose of reproducing -privately drawings which had from time to time been made by Queen -Victoria and the Prince Consort, in breach of the trust reposed in -him sold impressions to the defendant, who published a descriptive -catalogue of the drawings. Knight Bruce, V. C., granted an injunction -against the publication of the catalogue. In _Reuter's Telegram -Co._ v. _Byron_[1163] the defendants had for some time acted as -agents in Australia of the plaintiff company, sending on and -receiving telegraphic messages on their behalf. In the course of -this agency they became acquainted with the cypher used by many of -the company's customers. On the termination of their employment the -defendants started a rival telegram business and sent circulars to -the plaintiffs' customers, mentioning that they had their cyphers. On -a motion to restrain the defendants from making use of the list of -cyphers acquired in the plaintiffs' employment, Jessel, M. R., refused -an interim injunction. He said: - - "The Court will always restrain a man from publishing or divulging - that which has been communicated to him in confidence. But this - is a totally different case. The plaintiffs do not here seek to - restrain the defendants from publishing anything but from making - use of knowledge acquired while the relation of principal and - agent subsisted after that relation terminated." - -In _Lamb_ v. _Evans_[1164] the defendants had been employed by the -plaintiff as canvasser for his trade directory. On the termination -of their employment they published a rival directory and made -use of blocks and notes which they had acquired in the plaintiff's -employment. The Court held that this was an improper use -for the defendants to make of materials so acquired. Bowen, -L. J., in his judgment, said: - - "It is not a question of copyright--that must be kept out of sight - altogether--nor is it, on the other hand, a simple question of - the absolute property at law in the documents themselves or in - the blocks themselves. It is a question of whether the plaintiff, - whatever the property in the documents may be or whatever the - property in the materials may be, has not sufficient special - property in them to entitle him to restrain the use of them - against him when they had been obtained for his use by his agents - in the course of their employment. That depends entirely, I think, - on the terms upon which the employment was constituted, through - which the fiduciary relation of principal and agent came into - existence." - -In commenting on _Reuter's Telegram Co._ v. _Byron_, the same judge -said: - - "I think if Reuter's case is to be judged by the result, it no - doubt is right--and Sir George Jessel was generally right--but I - do not think that the propositions reported in the _Law Journal_ - as laid down by him can be considered to be sound. It seems to me - that as a matter at law or as a matter of equity, the conduct of - the defendants in that case cannot be justified to the extent to - which the learned judge is made by the report to justify it. If - Reuter's case is cited as an authority for the propositions which - the Master of the Rolls is there stated to have laid down, I am - not prepared to follow it." - -In _Merryweather_ v. _Moore_[1165] a clerk while in the employment -of a firm of engine-makers had made a table of dimensions of various -types of engines. After he had left their employment he was restrained -from publishing or communicating the table or its contents to any one. -In _Louie_ v. _Smellie_[1166] the plaintiff carried on a business -as a process server, the defendant while in his employment secretly -made extracts from the plaintiff's register and index of agents and -copies of the plaintiff's forms. He was restrained from making use of -such extracts in competition with the plaintiff after he had left his -employment and set up as a process server on his own account. Lindley, -L. J., in his judgment, said: - - "As to the law it has been clearly laid down in _Lamb_ v. _Evans_. - It is not new law, it is as old as the hills. The good faith that - existed between employer and employed rendered it improper for the - employed to make use of any information acquired by him during the - period of the confidential relationship." - -The injunction was granted in these terms: - - "An injunction to restrain the defendant, his servants, and agents - from making use of any copies or extracts from the plaintiff's - register of agents, or index of agents, or any memoranda made or - obtained by the defendant when in the plaintiff's employ relating - to any person named in these books or either of them." - -In _Robb_ v. _Green_,[1167] the defendant having been employed as -manager of the plaintiff's business, secretly copied a list of the -names and addresses of his customers. On leaving the plaintiff's -employment he set up a similar business, but was restrained from -making use of the list of his late master's customers. In _Gilbert_ v. -_Star Newspaper_[1168] the members of a theatrical company taking part -in the rehearsal of a new opera were held to be under an obligation -not to disclose any information concerning it until it should be -publicly performed, and the Court restrained a critique published in a -daily newspaper on the ground that the material for it must have been -unlawfully procured. - -In these cases it is not only the party who is in breach of contract -or confidential relationship that will be restrained. The Court will -restrain any one who, knowing how the material has been acquired, -makes use of it.[1169] In _Tipping_ v. _Clarke_,[1170] Wigram, V. C., -said that if the defendant availed himself surreptitiously of the -information which he could not have had except from a person guilty of -a breach of contract in communicating it, he could not be permitted -to avail himself of such breach of contract. In _Abernethy_ v. -_Hutchinson_,[1171] Lord Eldon said: - - "How the gentleman who had published the letters came by them he - did not know; but whether an action would be maintained against - them or not on the footing of implied contract, an injunction - undoubtedly might be granted, because if there had been a breach - of contract on the part of the pupil who heard these lectures, - and if the pupil could not publish for profit, to do so would - certainly be what this Court would call a fraud upon a third - party." - -Thus in _Prince Albert_ v. _Strange_[1172] the defendant obtained -the information from the person in whom the plaintiff's confidence -was placed, and was on that account restrained. In the _Exchange -Telegraph Co._ v. _Central News_[1173] the Court restrained a third -party from publishing information which he had obtained by inducing a -subscriber to the Telegraph Company to break his contract. If there -has been a breach of contract or trust the Court will assume a guilty -knowledge in the case of a third person, who, being in possession -of the material, cannot give any satisfactory explanation.[1174] -If a third party acquire innocently and for value materials or -information originally procured in breach of trust or contract, it -seems questionable, apart from any absolute right in the plaintiff, -such as a right to manuscript, whether he can be restrained from -making use of them in any publication. If the original act amounts to -fraud or crime, certainly the Court will not protect even an innocent -purchaser. "Let the hand receiving it be ever so chaste, if it comes -through such a corrupt and polluted channel, the obligation of -restitution must follow."[1175] But if the original act amounted to no -more than breach of confidence or contract, it may be different, and a -purchaser for value and without notice may be excused.[1176] The point -must be considered doubtful.[1177] The ground of action on breach -of faith or contract may sometimes exist concurrently with a ground -of action on copyright, and may be useful if there are any technical -difficulties in the plaintiff's way as to copyright.[1178] - -=Unpublished Works.=--The author and his assignees have the right -of first publication; this right at common law is unaffected by the -Copyright Acts, and is a right in perpetuity. The right in literary -matter in manuscript is clearly one of property, and is independent -of any confidential or contractual relation between the author and -those who interfere with his property without authority. "It cannot," -said Lord Halsbury in _Caird_ v. _Sime_,[1179] "be denied that in -the present state of the law an author has a proprietary right in -his unpublished literary productions." An author may choose his own -time to publish or may choose never to publish at all, and he may -proceed against any one who attempts to publish or otherwise deals -without his authority with his unpublished work. This was definitely -decided in _Donaldson_ v. _Beckett_[1180] when the question among -others was put to the judges: "Whether at common law an author of any -book or literary composition had the sole right of first printing or -publishing the same for sale; and might bring an action against any -person who printed, published, and sold the same without his consent?" -Ten out of eleven judges consulted answered that there was such a -right, and eight of them that an action lay in cases of infringement. -Two of the judges, however, were of opinion that an action lay against -an infringer only when the manuscript had been obtained by fraud -or violence. Only one judge held that there was no right of first -publication. In _Prince Albert_ v. _Strange_[1181] Lord Cottenham, -L. C., considered the law as well settled and beyond dispute. He says: - - "The property of an author or composer of any work, whether of - literature, art, or science, in such work unpublished and kept for - his private use or pleasure, cannot be disputed after the many - decisions in which the proposition has been affirmed or assumed." - -The right of an author to his unpublished work is of a much wider and -more exclusive nature than his right to published matter. It probably -extends to prohibit any kind of interference whatsoever.[1182] The -public have not the right of "fair use" comment and criticism which -they have in a published work. In _Prince Albert_ v. _Strange_ Knight -Bruce, V. C.,[1183] says: - - "A work lawfully published in the popular sense of the term stands - in this respect, I conceive, differently from a work which has - never been in that situation. The former may be liable to be - translated, abridged, analysed, exhibited in morsels, complimented - and otherwise treated in a manner that the latter is not." - -The reason that private documents of a man should be protected from -any interference whatsoever is sufficiently obvious. "A man," says -Knight Bruce, V. C., in the same case,[1184] "may employ himself in -private in a manner very harmless, but which disclosed to society -may destroy the comfort of his life or even his success in it." In -_Miller_ v. _Taylor_[1185] Yates, J., expresses the principle of the -common law protection: - - "Ideas are free. But while the author confines them to his study - they are like birds in a cage which none but he can have a right - to let fly; for till he thinks proper to emancipate them they are - under his own dominion. It is certain every man has a right to - keep his own sentiments if he pleases: he has certainly a right - to judge whether he will make them public or commit them only - to the sight of his friends. In that state the manuscript is in - every sense his peculiar property, and no man can take it from him - or make any use of it which he has not authorised without being - guilty of a violation of his property." - -The common law right in manuscript ceases upon "communication to -the public" with the consent of the author,[1186] but it may still -continue notwithstanding some kind of communication to others. The -communication in order to divest the owner of common law right must -be an abandonment of his ideas and words to the use of the public at -large. Representation on the stage, delivery as a lecture, a gift or -loan of the manuscript to a friend do not _ipso facto_ determine the -author's right of property.[1187] The questions in cases of alleged -unlawful publication of manuscript are usually: What is to be presumed -as the reasonable understanding between the author and the persons -to whom literary matter in the manuscript is communicated? Are they -intended to have the right of making any use they please of it, or do -the circumstances raise a presumption that they may only use it for -a limited purpose? In _Macklin_ v. _Richardson_[1188] the Court held -that although a play had been performed on the stage, that was only -a limited publication of it, and therefore the exclusive right to -publish remained in the author.[1189] In _Nicols_ v. _Pitman_[1190] -a lecture delivered at a Working Men's College from a manuscript -previously prepared, was reproduced by the defendant without the -plaintiff's consent. Kay, J., granted an injunction. In _Caird_ v. -_Sime_[1191] the professor of moral philosophy in Glasgow University -delivered a course of lectures in pursuance of his duty as professor. -These were published by a bookseller from notes taken by a student. It -was strenuously argued that the professorship being a _munus publicum_ -and the classes being open to all comers, the delivery of the lectures -was really a publication without reserve to the whole world. The House -of Lords rejected this argument, and held that the right to publish -was reserved, the persons who were present at the lecture not being -the general public, but a limited class of the public selected and -admitted for the sole and special purpose of receiving individual -instruction. Lord Halsbury, L. C., in giving judgment, suggested -possible cases where it would be implied from the circumstances that -there was publication to the world at large: - - "It is intelligible that when a person speaks a speech to which - all the world is invited, either expressly or impliedly, to - listen, or preaches a sermon[1192] in a church, the doors of which - are thrown open to all mankind, the mode and manner of publication - negative, as it appears to me, any limitation."[1193] - -The same rules apply to communication by delivery of the manuscript -or a copy. If I give my manuscript to another to read or for any -other limited purpose, he may not exceed the limits of use expressly -or impliedly agreed. Publication by printing and circulation among a -limited class will not destroy the common law right.[1194] - -The common law right in a manuscript may be abandoned by neglect or -acquiescence in an adverse use. Thus it was said that Southey had no -right to complain when having left his poem "Wat Tyler" in the hands -of a publisher for twenty-three years the publisher published it for -his own profit.[1195] - -A man's right to the exclusive use of his unpublished work does not -depend on its value, and it is immaterial whether he did or did not -intend to make profit by its publication.[1196] It is also immaterial -whether the publication would prove creditable or discreditable, -advantageous or disadvantageous.[1197] - -The question has been raised whether the Courts would prevent an -unauthorised person from publishing manuscript of an immoral nature -which the author may have repented of and refused to place before the -public.[1198] - -Ignorance of the author's right is no defence to an action for -interfering with unpublished literary matter. A _bonâ fide_ purchaser -for value gets no better title than the original pirate.[1199] - -=Speeches and Sermons.=--Literary matter delivered orally from an -extempore composition without having been previously reduced to -writing, is protected at common law from unauthorised use. The extent -of the protection as in the case of delivery from manuscript is -defined by the terms of the relationship existing between the speaker -and his audience. He may have freely abandoned all exclusive interest -in the matter of his address, or he may give them only the right to -listen, or he may give them the right of taking notes and using them -for their own instruction. It seems to be doubtful, however, whether -the right in unwritten speeches is one based on property, or whether -it must depend entirely on implied contract between the speaker and -his audience. In _Abernethy_ v. _Hutchinson_[1200] Dr. Abernethy -delivered surgical lectures to students at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. -These lectures had not been previously reduced to writing. Lord Eldon, -L. C., granted an injunction against their unauthorised reproduction -in the _Lancet_. There was no evidence as to how the defendants -got possession of the lectures, but Lord Eldon thought that was -immaterial: - - "They must have been taken from a pupil or otherwise in such a - way as the Court would not permit, and the injunction ought to go - on the ground of property, and although there was not sufficient - to establish an implied contract as between the plaintiffs and - the defendants, yet it must be decided that as the lectures must - have been procured in an undue manner from those who were under - a contract not to publish for profit, there was sufficient to - authorise the Court to say the defendants shall not publish." - -In _Nicols_ v. _Pitman_[1201] a case of previously written lectures, -Kay, J., reviews the judgment of Lord Eldon in the last cited case: - - "Now it is quite true that the learned judge seems at one moment - to refer to the ground of property and at another to that of - implied contract. But I take his meaning to be this, that when - a lecture of this kind is delivered to an audience, especially - when the audience is a limited one admitted by tickets, the - understanding between the lecturer and the audience is that, - whether the lecture has been committed to writing beforehand or - not, the audience are quite at liberty to take the fullest notes - they like for their own personal purposes, but they are not at - liberty having taken those notes to use them afterwards for the - purpose of publishing the lecture for profit." - -The question of whether the right in an oral speech is property or -not might well be of the highest importance in a question between the -speaker and a publisher who acquired the matter in entire ignorance of -his right. The facts might be such that the Court would not, as they -did in _Abernethy_ v. _Hutchinson_,[1202] presume that the material -"must have been procured in an undue manner." If there was no such -presumption from the facts, it would appear that, apart from a right -of property, the speaker must be without remedy unless he has given -notice as a lecturer within 5 & 6 Will. IV. c. 65.[1203] - -=Letters.=--Private letters are protected from publication as much as -any other manuscript. In an early case[1204] it was suggested that -there could be no property in business letters or others with no -literary merit; but as the idea of literary merit in connection with -copyright is now entirely exploded, the _obiter dicta_ in this case -may be disregarded. In all letters then there is a literary property -in the writer which entitles him or his executors to prohibit any -publication without his consent, express or implied.[1205] It is -immaterial whether the publication is for the purpose of profit or -not.[1206] If a letter is written by one as agent for another the -property is in the principal, and the agent cannot restrain him from -publishing.[1207] The receiver of a letter has a property in the paper -on which it is written[1208] and is entitled to retain possession -even against the writer. The receiver may make no use of a letter -except such as is implied in the sending or with the consent of the -writer.[1209] The receiver may even be restrained from parting with -possession or showing the letters to any one.[1210] The receiver is -probably entitled to prevent the publication of the letters from -copies not in his possession or from the originals which have passed -from his possession.[1211] - -Although the sender has a right of property in the literary matter in -the letters, the receiver may without his consent destroy the letters -and so destroy the writer's chance of obtaining benefit from them. The -literary property of the writer and the property in the paper of the -receiver descend to their respective executors.[1212] The question -has been suggested but never answered: What would be the rights of -trustees in bankruptcy to publish for the benefit of creditors private -letters?[1213] Letters may be published against the will of the -writer when published _bonâ fide_ for the purpose of vindication of -character.[1214] - - - - -CHAPTER XII - -PUBLISHING AND PRINTING AGREEMENTS - - -_Publishers' Agreements._--These agreements are governed by the law -of contract, and only incidentally involve questions of copyright. -The contract between an author and his publisher is a personal one -and cannot be assigned; each party is presumed to have relied on the -personal skill or reputation of the other.[1215] Thus it was held that -a half profit agreement could not be assigned by a publisher's firm -to a firm which had succeeded to their business but which contained -none of the partners of the original firm.[1216] The same principle -has been applied in the case of a limited company carrying on a -publishing business.[1217] A publishing agreement ought to provide for -an assignment of the publisher's rights and obligations to the person -or persons who may succeed to the business. Unless otherwise agreed, -the death or bankruptcy of a publisher will terminate a publishing -agreement.[1218] Similarly if an author had not performed his part of -an agreement, viz. to write and revise the manuscript, his death[1219] -or bankruptcy[1220] would terminate his obligations in that respect. -The publisher could not insist on the author's representatives -completing the work, nor could they if they completed the work insist -on the publisher publishing.[1221] - -An agreement to write a book or an article cannot be enforced by -specific performance.[1222] The only remedy for breach is an action -for damages,[1223] or, if the author has agreed not to write on -a particular subject for any one else, that may be enforced by an -injunction.[1224] An agreement to assign a copyright may be enforced -by specific performance,[1225] and probably also an agreement to -furnish an unpublished manuscript already completed. An undertaking to -write a book on a particular subject is not fulfilled by furnishing -a translation of a foreign work on that subject.[1226] If A agrees -with B to write an article for a certain publication or series -of publications, and if before the article can be published the -publication or series has been discontinued, A is not bound to deliver -his article for publication in another form; but he is entitled to a -_quantum meruit_ for the work he has done.[1227] - -If an author has entered into a royalty agreement with a publisher -he is not, apart from express agreement, under any obligation not to -publish the work through another publisher before the first edition -has been sold out.[1228] An author should therefore be bound not to -publish elsewhere so long as the publisher is willing and ready to -publish, and if this is done the publisher may restrain the author or -another publisher who publishes with notice of his agreement.[1229] In -a half profit agreement where nothing was said as to future editions, -it was thought that the contract might probably be determined by -either party on the expiry of each edition and before any expense had -been incurred in respect of a future edition; but until that was done -the publisher had the exclusive right to publish and recoup himself -for his outlay and earn profits.[1230] - -It is not illegal as being in restraint of trade for an author -to contract to write only for a single publisher or theatrical -manager,[1231] nor for a publisher to contract not to publish a -particular class of work.[1232] If an editor engages to give his -whole time to a publication, he will be restrained from engaging in -or advertising any rival work.[1233] Unless there is an express -stipulation an author will not be prevented under a publishing -agreement from writing and publishing other books on the same subject -provided they do not reproduce in whole or in part the former -book.[1234] If there is an express stipulation against publishing -similar works, both the author and his publisher would be restrained -from doing so.[1235] Apart from express agreement a publisher is -probably free to publish any other rival work he pleases, even -although it may seriously affect the sale of the former book.[1236] - -In the absence of express stipulation, the publisher under a half -profit agreement has been held entitled to fix the selling price, -choose the embellishments, and generally control the publication.[1237] - -In a publishing agreement it should always be expressly stated who is -to hold the copyright. It has been held that where no mention of the -copyright was made a half profit agreement did not import a transfer -of the copyright to the publisher.[1238] In editorial agreements as to -newspapers or magazines similar careful provision should be made as to -who is to own the copyright and the goodwill in the name, otherwise -difficult questions may arise.[1239] - -Where the author of a novel sold the copyright therein to the owners -of a periodical, reserving to himself the right to publish in "volume -form," it was held that under this agreement he was entitled to -publish the work in weekly parts, which when completed could be bound -into a volume.[1240] - -An indemnity given by an author to a publisher against proceedings -for libel is void if the publisher knew or ought to have known that -the matter was libellous.[1241] The publisher, however, would be -entitled to rely on such an indemnity if he acted innocently. The same -principle would apply to proceedings for infringement of copyright. - -A publishing agreement may be made orally unless, which will seldom -happen, it cannot be performed within a year from the making thereof, -in which case there must be a written memorandum of the terms to -satisfy the Statute of Frauds.[1242] - -The agreement, if in writing, must be stamped with the usual sixpenny -agreement stamp. If it contains a conveyance of a copyright it will -probably have to be stamped with _ad valorem_ duty under section 53 -of the Stamp Act.[1243] If the work is unpublished at the time of -the agreement the whole interest in the manuscript can be conveyed -by delivery; in the case of a published work the copyright could -be conveyed by entry on the register, so that in neither case need -there be a conveyance in the agreement, and the stamp duty can thus -be avoided. If a copyright is conveyed by entry on the register the -Copyright Act expressly exempts the conveyance from duty.[1244] - -_Printers' Agreements._--A printer has a lien on the books printed -by him for his printing charges.[1245] He has no lien on stereotype -plates for the amount of the bill for printing from them.[1246] If -the printer does not print his name and address on a book as required -by Act of Parliament[1247] he will not be entitled to recover his -printing charges.[1248] An order to print a certain number of copies -of a book must as a rule be treated as an entire order, and no payment -will fall due until the whole are complete and ready for delivery, so -that if when half finished they are destroyed by fire he will not be -entitled to recover for the work done.[1249] A printer does not insure -the manuscript when in his possession,[1250] but is only liable for -loss occasioned by his negligence. - -A printer cannot maintain an action in respect of his charges for -printing an immoral or seditious work, knowing it to be such.[1251] -If while a book is being printed by him he discovers that it contains -libellous, seditious, or immoral matter, he would be entitled to -discontinue the printing and sue for the work already done.[1252] - - * * * * * - - - - -ADDENDUM - - -=Musical Copyright, Summary Remedies.=--A Bill has passed both Houses -of Parliament and awaits the Royal Assent whereby, after October -1902, owners of copyright in music may proceed in a Court of summary -jurisdiction against persons dealing in pirated music. Piratical -copies which are being hawked or offered for sale may be seized by -a constable without warrant and brought before the Court, which, on -proof, may order the copies to be forfeited or destroyed, and inflict -a penalty not exceeding twenty pounds on any one offender in respect -of the same transaction. This Act will not apply outside the United -Kingdom. - - - - -PART II - -THE LAW OF COPYRIGHT IN THE UNITED STATES - - - - -CHAPTER I - -INTRODUCTORY - - -The law of copyright in the United States, especially in relation -to literary work, is daily becoming of more interest to the owners -of copyright in this country. Since the _Act of Congress_, 1891, -commonly known as the _Chace Act_, those who are neither citizens of -nor resident in the United States can acquire a copyright therein -if copies of their books are printed from type set up in the United -States and if their books are duly recorded there before publication -either within or outside the United States. There is thus created -for English authors a property which may be of considerable value if -before publishing here they incur the trouble and expense of printing -and recording their books in America. - -Apart from this commercial interest which English authors and -publishers have in a knowledge of American copyright law, there -is the further interest to English lawyers in the large body of -analogous case law to which the American statutes have given rise. -These statutes were originally founded on our own statute of Anne, -and, although the difference between the Acts now in force in the two -countries is very wide in many respects, a great deal remains the -same in substance, and the decisions of the American Courts afford -us valuable precedents. These cases, however, must not be cited in -our Courts at random, as has too frequently been done. In citing -from the American reports, it is essential to compare the statutory -provisions in America with the statutory provisions in this country, -and ascertain whether the decisions are really applicable or not. -It is for this reason that I have thought it expedient to keep the -American law and the English law entirely separate. The practice of -citing American cases promiscuously throughout a treatise on English -Copyright Law I have found to be confusing and misleading. - - - - -CHAPTER II - -WHAT WORKS ARE ENTITLED TO COPYRIGHT - - -In order to acquire copyright in the United States the work must -fulfil the following conditions: - - 1. It must be an original literary or artistic work. - 2. The (owner/author) must be a citizen of the United States (or - resident therein), or of a foreign country proclaimed - to that intent by the President.[1253] - 3. It must have complied with the formalities prescribed - by the statutes of the United States.[1254] - 4. It must be innocent.[1255] - - -SECTION I.--AN ORIGINAL LITERARY OR ARTISTIC WORK. - -In the United States literary and artistic works are treated similarly -under the same series of statutes. The works protected are enumerated -in section 4952 of the Revised Statutes as amended by the Act of March -3, 1891 (_The Chace Act_). The protection extends to any book, map, -chart, dramatic or musical composition, engraving, cut, print, or -photograph or negative thereof, and to any painting, drawing, chromo, -statue, statuary, and to models or designs intended to be perfected as -works of the fine arts. - -[Sidenote: The scope of the Constitution.] - -In considering whether a work is within the protection of the -Copyright Acts, not only must the enacting words of the statutes -be considered, but also, and perhaps principally, the scope of the -provision in the Constitution, which grants power to Congress to -secure the protection of authors and artists.[1256] The language -of the Act must be read in connection with the Constitutional -provision and be so construed as to promote the object and conform -to the purpose expressed therein. The power given to Congress by -the Constitution is a power "to promote the progress of science and -useful arts by securing for limited times to authors and inventors -the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." In -consideration of this restricted power the earlier decisions[1257] -construed the Acts of Congress as including only those works which -showed a certain degree of intellectual labour in the arts or -sciences. In _Clayton_ v. _Stone_[1258] protection was refused to a -daily price current or review of the markets issued in a newspaper. -Thompson, J., in giving judgment, said: - - "The Act was passed in execution of the power given by Congress, - and the object therefore was the promotion of science; and it - would certainly be a pretty extraordinary view of the sciences to - consider a daily or weekly publication of the state of the market - as falling within any class of them. They are of a more fixed, - permanent, and durable character. The term science cannot with any - propriety be applied to a work of so fluctuating and fugitive a - form as that of a newspaper or price current, the subject-matter - of which is daily changing, and is of mere temporary use.... The - title of the Act of Congress is for the encouragement of learning, - and was not intended for the encouragement of mere industry - unconnected with learning and the sciences." - -[Sidenote: Illustrated Catalogues.] - -This high standard of intellectual requirement was not, however, -strictly maintained. In _Brightley_ v. _Littleton_[1259] a blank -form of application for a licence to sell liquor at retail, drawn in -pursuance of the statutes in that behalf, was protected, and it was -said that, although the matter claiming copyright must be original and -possess some possible utility, "the originality may be of the lowest -order and the utility barely perceptible." In _Ladd_ v. _Oxnard_[1260] -the English cases of _Lamb_ v. _Evans_[1261] and _Leslie_ v. -_Young_[1262] were cited with approval, and the Court agreed that -"the quality and grade of original work required by the Courts under -the Copyright Statutes are very moderate." Until the case of _Mott_ -v. _Clow_,[1263] the tendency seems to have been to follow the -English judges to their extreme view, as expressed by Lord Halsbury -in _Walter_ v. _Lane_,[1264] _i. e._ "that the copyright law requires -neither literary merit nor intellectual labour nor originality -either in thought or in language." The Court, however, in _Mott_ v. -_Clow_[1265] refused to follow the English decisions. After reviewing -the American, and particularly the earlier American decisions, they -say: - - "The result of these decisions would seem to place this - construction upon the Constitutional provisions under - consideration that only such writings and discoveries are - included which are the result of intellectual labour; that the - term writings may be liberally construed to include designs for - engravings and prints that are original and are founded in the - creative powers of the mind, the fruits of intellectual labour; - that prints upon a single sheet might be considered a book if - it otherwise met the spirit of the constitutional provision; - and that to be entitled to a copyright, the article must have, - by and of itself, some value as a composition, at least to the - extent of serving some purpose other than a mere advertisement or - designation of the subject to which it is attached." - -The "book" before the Court was a catalogue in the form of a bound -volume, containing illustrations of household wares offered for sale, -and giving the dimensions and price of each. The Court referred -to _Maple_ v. _Junior Army and Navy Stores_[1266] where a similar -catalogue in England was protected. - - "It is to be observed in this case that it was ruled largely upon - the language of the Act of Parliament (5 & 6 Vict. c. 45).... - It is to be here remarked that the Parliament of Great Britain, - unlike the Congress of the United States, is unlimited in power, - and with the construction and effect placed upon the preamble - of the Act by the Court, there would seem to be little escape - from the conclusion at which the Court arrived. In this country - under the Constitution the power lodged with the Congress is not - unlimited, but is restricted to the promotion of the progress - of science and useful arts. The ruling of the English Court is - therefore not pertinent except as it illustrates the subject." - -The Court cited with approval _Baker_ v. _Selden_,[1267] which had -expressly approved _Cobbett_ v. _Woodward_,[1268] an English case -overruled in _Maple_ v. _Junior Army and Navy Stores_;[1269] they -further cited and approved the judgment of Thompson, J., in _Clayton_ -v. _Stone_,[1270] quoted above. The judgment concludes with the -following paragraph: - - "It is possibly not beyond comprehension that pictures of - slop-sinks, wash-bowls, and bath-tubs, with or without letterpress - statement of dimensions and prices, though intended mainly for - advertisement, may in localities where such conveniences are not - in common use, be the means of instruction and of advancement in - knowledge of the arts, and, when they are the products of original - intellectual thought, may possibly come within the scope of the - Constitutional provision. It is enough for the present purpose to - say that, in our judgment, the Congress has not seen fit to enact - a law which can reasonably be given so broad a construction." - -[Sidenote: Directories. Dictionaries.] - -[Sidenote: Mercantile Statistics.] - -[Sidenote: Forms of Application.] - -In considering the authority of some of the cases cited below, the -judgment in _Mott_ v. _Clow_[1271] must not be lost sight of. It is -probable that some of these cases are not in accordance with it, or -with the older cases, such as _Clayton_ v. _Stone_[1272] and _Baker_ -v. _Selden_[1273] therein expressly approved. Subject to this note -of warning, the following may be taken as examples of what have and -what have not been accepted as works of art or literature within the -scope of the Constitution and the Acts of Congress. Directories[1274] -and dictionaries[1275] have both been protected. In the case of the -latter, there is copyright in the definitions of the words, however -short. A list of the credit ratings of marble, granite, and stone -dealers of the United States and Canada was protected in _Ladd_ -v. _Oxnard_.[1276] In _Clayton_ v. _Stone_,[1277] which has been -approved as sound law,[1278] a daily state of the market was refused -protection. A racing guide containing a list of race-horses and -statistics as to their age and performances was protected in one -case,[1279] and in the other case a list of trotting horses and their -paces.[1280] In _Brightley_ v. _Littleton_[1281] a blank form of -application for liquor licence was held to be copyright. In _Carlisle_ -v. _Colusa County_[1282] copyright was denied to a blank form of -property statement for assessment purposes. - -This latter decision appears, however, to have been partly on the -ground that as the assessors were obliged to issue a form, it would -embarrass their duties if forms drawn up by private persons were -entitled to copyright. - -A circular in pamphlet form used as an advertisement, and explaining -a certain method of distribution of coupons to cash purchasers -from certain merchants named in the pamphlet, has been held to be -the subject of copyright.[1283] The circuit judge, however, in his -judgment, says: "It requires some stretch of imagination to say that -this pamphlet comes within the purpose of Congress, the encouragement -of learning, and the increase of useful knowledge, but the official -charged with the duty has granted a copyright to this pamphlet, and -his decision is accepted."[1284] - -[Sidenote: Dramatic Works.] - -Dramatic works[1285] have been protected, although not of a very high -literary standard. In _Henderson_ v. _Tompkins_[1286] protection was -given to a topical song which was designed merely to amuse. It was -sufficient if it accomplished that purpose. - -[Sidenote: Law Reports.] - -[Sidenote: Statutes.] - -Law Reports are protected so far as they consist of original -intellectual matter;[1287] the protection may thus extend to the -title-page, table of cases, the head notes, the statements of facts, -the argument of counsel, the index, the order and arrangement of -cases, the numbering and pagination of the volumes, the table of cases -cited in the opinions, the subdivision of the index into condensed -titles, and the cross references.[1288] The original work of the -reporter is alone protected.[1289] In the opinion of the Court there -is no copyright;[1290] these constitute part of the law of the land -open to all to make use of as they please, and neither the state, -the judge, nor the reporter can acquire or confer any conclusive -privilege of copying them. The same rule applies to the head notes -in those states where they are prepared by the judge.[1291] On the -same grounds of public policy no one can have copyright in the -statutes;[1292] the legislature of the state cannot confer it on any -one.[1293] There may be copyright in the head notes and arrangement of -a digest of the statutes.[1294] - -[Sidenote: Notes and Additions. New Arithmetic. Adaptations.] - -The contents of a book do not require to be entirely new; if -partially old there will be copyright _quoad_ the new material or new -arrangement.[1295] Thus there is copyright in notes and additions to -an old work,[1296] in a new arithmetic combining old material in new -form,[1297] in translations,[1298] in the adaptation of an old drama -introducing a new title, new dialogue, minor characters, scenery, and -dramatic situations with the orchestration and orchestra part songs -and music,[1299] and in the dramatization of a novel.[1300] - -[Sidenote: Musical Arrangement.] - -In one case it was held that the adaptation of a musical piece -from the notation suitable to one instrument to that suitable to -another was not a sufficiently intellectual process to entitle the -adapter to copyright in his adaptations.[1301] It was said that "a -mere mechanic could make the adaptation and accompaniment." Since -then, however, it has been held that a musical arrangement is the -subject of copyright. In _Thomas_ v. _Lennox_[1302] an orchestral -accompaniment for a non-copyright oratorio by Gounod was held to be -the subject of copyright. In _Carte_ v. _Evans_[1303] an arrangement -for the pianoforte of the orchestral score of an opera was held to be -copyright. - -[Sidenote: New Editions.] - -Copyright in new editions runs _quoad_ the new material from the date -of the new edition.[1304] The additions or corrections must be of -substantial value. A work which is _publici juris_ cannot be reclaimed -by colourable and immaterial alterations or additions.[1305] - -[Sidenote: Form of Publication.] - -[Sidenote: Mechanical Devices.] - -[Sidenote: Letter File.] - -[Sidenote: Account Book.] - -A book need not be a book in the ordinary sense of the word; the word -in the Act is not to be construed by reference to lexicographers: "the -literary property to be protected by the Act is not to be determined -by the size, form, or shape in which it makes its appearance, but by -the subject-matter."[1306] A single sheet containing literary matter -will be protected as a book.[1307] No doubt, however, the subject -to be protected must be _ejusdem generis_ as a book or leaflet. The -subject-matter must convey, and the form must be suitably adapted -for conveying, information to the reader. The copyright law embraces -those things that are printed and published for information and not -for use in themselves. Thus what is really a mechanical instrument, -and if original entitled to protection under the patent law, will not -be protected by the copyright law. In _Amberg File_ v. _Shea_[1308] -protection was claimed in a letter file. It was said that the spaces -between the index letters were adjusted to the average requirements -of the correspondent. These average requirements were ascertained by -exhaustive research in different directories. Copyright was refused. -In _Baker_ v. _Selden_[1309] blank account books of an original type -or pattern were refused protection. The judge in that case drew the -distinction between what was a proper subject of the patent laws and -what was a proper subject of copyright law--"The object of the one -is explanation, the object of the other is use."[1310] In _Drury_ v. -_Ewing_[1311] a "ladies' chart for cutting dresses and basques for -ladies, and coats, jackets, &c., for boys" was protected. It is almost -certain, however, that this decision would not now be accepted as -sound. Mere labels will not be protected as copyright works.[1312] -They may be protected by registration in the Patent Office.[1313] - -[Sidenote: Originality.] - -Copyright may be obtained for works of the imagination, or for a mere -collection and arrangement of material open to all mankind.[1314] What -is meant by originality as a requisite of copyright is that what is -claimed as the subject of copyright, whether it be the composition or -arrangement of matter, must not have been taken from some literary -or artistic work already in existence. It need not be the first of -its kind; the same thing may have been done before so as to produce -identically the same result.[1315] If the second author, artist, or -composer goes about his work independently, searching out his material -from the original sources, he is equally entitled to copyright with -the first. Herein copyright law differs from the law of patents; -in the former there may be two concurrent copyrights in what is -identically the same creation, in the latter there can only be one -patent, the first inventor being entitled. - -[Sidenote: Letters.] - -Letters may be the subject of copyright, whether of a business or -private nature, and although never intended by the writer to be -published as literary productions. In _Folsom_ v. _Marsh_[1316] the -letters of George Washington were the subject of controversy. Story, -J., in giving judgment, laid down the law as to the property in -letters at some length: - - "There is no small confusion in the books with reference to the - question of copyright in letters. Some of the _dicta_ seem to - suppose that no copyright can exist except in letters which are - professedly literary, while others again recognise a much more - enlarged and liberal doctrine upon the whole subject. In the - first place I hold that the author of any letter or letters (and - his representatives), whether they are literary compositions or - familiar letters or letters of business, possess the sole and - exclusive copyright therein; and that no persons, neither those - to whom they are addressed nor other persons, have any right - or authority to publish the same upon their own account or for - their own benefit. But consistently with this right the persons - to whom they are addressed may have, nay, must by implication - possess the right to publish any letter or letters addressed to - them upon such occasions as require or justify the publication or - public use of them, but this right is strictly limited to such - occasions. Thus a person may justifiably use and publish in a - suit at law or in equity such letter or letters as are necessary - and proper to establish his right to maintain the suit or defend - the same. So if he be aspersed or misrepresented by the writer or - accused of improper conduct in a public manner, he may publish - such parts of such letter or letters, but no more, as may be - necessary to vindicate his character and his reputation, or free - him from unjust obloquy and reproach. If he attempt to publish - such letter or letters on other occasions not justifiable, a - Court of Equity will prevent the publication by an injunction - as a breach of private confidence or contract or of the rights - of the author, and _a fortiori_ if he attempt to publish them - for profit, for then it is not a mere breach of confidence or - contract, but it is a violation of the exclusive copyright of the - writer. In short, the person to whom letters are addressed has but - a limited right or special property (if I may so call it) in such - letters as a trustee, or bailee for particular purposes, either of - information or of protection or of support of his own rights and - character. The general property and the general rights incident to - property belong to the writer, whether the letters are literary - compositions or familiar letters or details of facts or letters of - business. The general property in the manuscript remains in the - writer and his representatives as well as the general copyright. - _A fortiori_ third persons standing in no privity with either - party are not entitled to publish them to subserve their own - private purposes of interest or curiosity or passion." - -It is not quite accurate to say that the receiver of a letter is -merely a trustee or bailee for particular purposes. Clearly the -receiver of a letter is entitled to destroy it unless there is any -express or implied stipulation to the contrary, and probably he can -prevent the sender from publishing it by refusing to produce it if it -is in his possession. - -[Sidenote: No Copyright in Titles.] - -As a rule there can be no copyright in a title.[1317] The deposit -of the title-page with the Librarian of Congress does not give the -author any exclusive right to the use of that title.[1318] A title -can only be protected as a trade mark in connection with a particular -literary or artistic production which has become known to the public. -The public must be shown to be deceived or to be in danger of being -deceived.[1319] A title may be protected by registration as a trade -mark.[1320] - -[Sidenote: Photographs.] - -Photographs were first protected by the Statute of March 3, 1865; -before then protection was refused to them under the head of prints, -cuts, or engravings.[1321] It seems to have been doubted at one time -whether the protection of photographs was not _ultra vires_ of the -powers conferred by the Constitution. There is certainly an apparent -difficulty in bringing a photograph within the expression "writings" -used in the Constitution; but this word has received an extremely wide -and liberal construction, and has been held to be capable of including -any literary or artistic production of the intellect. Photographs have -been now frequently protected, but it is not every photograph that -will be protected, there must be some evidence that the photographer -has exercised an intellectual choice of subject-matter, expression, -arrangement, light, or other circumstances or conditions which go to -the production of an artistic photograph.[1322] It will be a question -of fact for the Court or jury whether the photograph is a mere manual -reproduction of subject-matter or an original work of art.[1323] In -a portrait there may be copyright in so far as the photographer has -relied on his own judgment for the choice of light, background, pose, -or attitude.[1324] In one case the photograph of a yacht under sail -was protected. It required the photographer to select and utilise the -best effects of light, cloud, water, and general surroundings, and -combine them under favourable conditions for depicting vividly and -accurately the view of a yacht under sail.[1325] - -A slight colourable alteration in a non-copyright photograph will not -entitle it to copyright.[1326] - -[Sidenote: Engravings.] - -Engravings, cuts, and prints will be protected,[1327] but there -must be at least some merit in them as artistic or instructive -productions. Thus the prints of common articles of household use -in a tradesmen's catalogue,[1328] drawings of billiard tables in a -similar catalogue,[1329] a card of specimen colours and tints of -zinc paints,[1330] and a poster with coloured drawings of a circus -performance[1331] have all been refused protection. If there is real -artistic merit in a drawing it will not be disentitled to protection -merely on the ground that it has been used as an advertisement.[1332] - -It has been held that playing cards printed in colours are entitled to -protection as "prints."[1333] - -[Sidenote: Pictures.] - -The Act of June 18, 1874, enacts that the protection of the Copyright -Acts conferred on "engravings," "cuts," and "prints" shall not -extend to prints or labels designed to be used for any articles of -manufacture. This Act cannot be evaded by attempting to copyright the -picture or drawing from which the label is designed. In _Schumacher_ -v. _Wogram_[1334] the Court refused protection under the Copyright -Acts to a picture representing a young woman holding a bouquet -of flowers intended to be reproduced on labels for cigar boxes. -The reason for refusing protection of the copyright law to such -productions is that their only real value is as a trade mark connected -with a particular article of manufacture.[1335] They are not designed -in themselves to instruct or amuse. As trade marks they will be -protected if registered in the Patent Office. The fact that a picture -could be readily lithographed and used as a label does not deprive it -of copyright;[1336] it must in order to lose its copyright have been -made with the intention of being used as a label. If the painting -itself were to be considered a label because copies might be so used, -no masterpiece would be entitled to copyright. A painting, engraving, -or print in order to be protected must be a pictorial representation -of something and not merely a design.[1337] - - -SECTION II.--NATIONALITY OF THE AUTHOR. - -Unfortunately the Acts of Congress are not clear as to how far the -works of foreign authors, or the works of non-residents in the United -States are protected. - -Until 1891 the works of foreign authors not resident in the United -States were denied protection. Sec. 4971 of the Revised Statutes ran -as follows: - - "Sec. 4971. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prohibit - the printing, publishing, importation, or sale of any book, map, - chart, dramatic or musical composition, print, cut, engraving, or - photograph, written, composed, or made by any person not a citizen - of the United States nor resident therein."[1338] - -By the Act of 1891, the benefits of copyright are extended to the -citizens of foreign countries which are proclaimed by the President as -conferring reciprocal rights on American citizens. Sec. 4971 of the -Revised Statutes is repealed. The Act of March 3, 1891, section 13, -enacts-- - - "That this Act shall only apply to a citizen or subject of a - foreign state or nation when such foreign state or nation permits - to citizens of the United States of America the benefit of - copyright on substantially the same basis as its own citizens, or - when such foreign state or nation is a party to an international - agreement which provides for reciprocity in the granting of - copyright by the terms of which agreement the United States of - America may at its pleasure become a party to such agreement. - The existence of either of the conditions aforesaid shall be - determined by the President of the United States by proclamation - made from time to time as the purposes of this Act may require." - -The Act of March 3, 1891, section 5, amending the Revised Statutes, -sec. 4959, enacts that-- - - "... the alterations, revisions, and additions made to books by - foreign authors heretofore published, of which new editions shall - appear subsequently to the taking effect of this Act, shall be - held and deemed capable of being copyrighted as above provided - for in this Act, unless they form a part of the series in course - of publication at the time this Act shall take effect." (July 1, - 1891.) - -On these sections two questions seem to be left open: - - (1) Is the test to be applied the nationality of (_a_) the - author, or of (_b_) the proprietor of the manuscript, - or other unpublished work, at the time of publication; - or will it satisfy the Act if (_c_) either of these persons - complies with the requisite conditions of nationality? - (2) Will residence in the United States or in one of the - proclaimed countries confer the privileges on one - who is not a citizen or subject of any of them? - -1. It may be that it would be a sufficient compliance with the -requirements of the Act if either the author or his assignee before -publication were a citizen of the United States, or a subject or -citizen of a proclaimed country. Section 1 amending the Revised -Statutes, sec. 4952, gives the sole liberty to "the author, inventor, -designer, or proprietor, and to the executors, administrators, or -assigns of any such person." Section 13 "applies the Act" to citizens -or subjects of certain foreign states or nations. Under the Revised -Statutes, section 4971, before 1891 it was the nationality of the -author alone that was considered, and it would have been no answer to -have said that the assignee before publication was an American citizen -or resident in the United States. Perhaps in 1891 the benefit was -designedly extended to assignees before publication, who complied with -the conditions and who had taken assignments from foreign authors who -did not. On the whole, however, I am inclined to the opinion that it -will not do merely to allege that the assignee of the uncopyrighted -and unpublished work is a citizen of the United States or a subject -or citizen of one of the proclaimed countries. It must, I think, be -alleged that the author, inventor, designer, or proprietor _ab initio_ -has complied with the conditions as to nationality. By proprietor _ab -initio_ (and probably this is the true meaning of "proprietor" in -section 1 of the Act of March 3, 1891[1339]), I mean one who compiles -a work by his servants or agents, for instance, a body corporate, -which cannot be said to be an "author, inventor, or designer," and yet -is entitled to the whole property in the work of its servants as it -grows up from day to day. I have not considered the assignee after -publication. I think it must be abundantly clear that his nationality -cannot be taken as the test, since if he took his assignment from a -foreign author who did not comply with the conditions of nationality -when the work was published, the work at the time of assignment would -have become _publici juris_. If he took his assignment from one who -complied with the conditions of nationality and copyrighted the work, -the fact of his being an alien would not prevent him acquiring the -copyright already secured. - -2. Before 1891 residence in the United States, which was interpreted -to mean permanent residence and not merely for the purposes of -publication,[1340] was sufficient to entitle an author to the -privileges of the Copyright Acts. The provision now, under the Act -of March 3, 1891, is that the Act shall only apply to a citizen of a -foreign country which has been proclaimed. Reading the Act strictly -a foreign resident in the United States but not a citizen thereof is -excluded from protection which he formerly had, unless he is a citizen -or subject of a proclaimed country. No doubt this was not intended -to be the result of the Act of 1891, but the words are plain and -unambiguous, and there seems no reason why they should not have effect -according to their plain meaning. _A fortiori_ a foreigner resident -in, but not a subject of, one of the proclaimed countries would not be -entitled to copyright. - -The following States have been proclaimed as fulfilling one or other -of the required conditions, and their citizens are therefore entitled -to acquire copyright in the United States in the same way as an -American citizen: - - Belgium } - France } - Great Britain } July 1, 1891. - Switzerland } - Germany April 15, 1892. - Italy October 31, 1892. - Denmark May 8, 1893. - Portugal July 20, 1893. - Spain July 10, 1895. - Mexico Feb. 27, 1896. - Chili May 25, 1896. - - -SECTION III.--NECESSARY FORMALITIES. - -No person is entitled to copyright unless he--[1341] - -I. In the case of a book, map, chart, dramatic or musical -composition, engraving, cut, print, photograph, or chromo-- - - (i.) Delivers (or mails within the United States) to the - Librarian of Congress, _on or before the day of publication_, - in the United States or elsewhere a _printed copy of the - title_ of the work. - (ii.) Delivers (or mails within the United States) to the - Librarian of Congress, _not later than the day of publication_, - in the United States or elsewhere _two copies_ of - the work. - -II. In the case of a painting, drawing, statue, statuary, or -a model or design for a work of the fine arts--[1342] - - (i.) Delivers (or mails within the United States) to the - Librarian of Congress, _on or before the day of publication_, - in the United States or elsewhere a _description of - the work_. - (ii.) Delivers (or mails within the United States) to the - Librarian of Congress, _not later than the day of publication_, - in the United States or elsewhere _a photograph of - the work_. - -The proprietor of every copyright book or other article must deliver -(or mail within the United States) to the Librarian of Congress a copy -of every subsequent edition wherein any substantial changes shall be -made.[1343] Each volume of a book in two or more volumes, when such -volumes are published separately, and the first one has not been -issued before July 1, 1891, and each number of a periodical is to be -considered an independent publication.[1344] The requirements of the -statute as to delivery of title and copies, and printing of notice -must therefore be complied with in the case of each volume of a book -or number of a periodical. - -=Conditions Precedent.=--The deposit of title and delivery of copies -as prescribed by the statutes are conditions precedent to copyright -and not merely declaratory.[1345] There is no common law right after -publication, and therefore if a work is published without the proper -formalities having been observed it becomes _publici juris_, and any -one may make what use of it he pleases.[1346] Ignorance of the law is -no excuse even although a new Act has just been passed altering the -time within which copies must be delivered.[1347] In an action for -infringement the declaration must set out in detail a compliance with -the law as to formalities,[1348] and the burden of proof thereof is on -the complainant.[1349] He must prove the deposit of title, delivery of -copies, notice of copyright, and the date of publication. The latter -is essential, as on it depends the validity of the entry.[1350] - -=Delivery of the Title.=--The copy of the title to be delivered must -be "printed," _i. e._ the characters used must be those ordinarily -used in printing, but they may be made by hand with a pen.[1351] The -work must be published within a reasonable time after the deposit -of the title-page, otherwise the formalities will not have been -complied with.[1352] Two months' delay in mailing to the Librarian of -Congress copies of a photograph after the filing of its title is not -unreasonable.[1353] - -It will not do to publish a book under a substantially different title -from that deposited. Immaterial variations in the title, or sub-title, -or complete alteration of a description on the title-page will not -make the deposit void. In _Donnelley_ v. _Ivers_[1354] the title -deposited was "Over One Thousand Recipes. The Lake Side Cook Book: A -Complete Manual of Practical, Economical, Palatable, and Healthful -Cookery. Chicago: Donnelley, Lloyd & Company, 1878." The title on the -book as published was "The Lake Side Cook Book, No. 1. A Complete -Manual of Practical, Economical, Palatable, and Healthful Cookery. -By N. A. D." It was held that the requirement as to the deposit of -title having been "substantially, in good faith complied with," the -objection was not tenable. What is required is, that the deposited -title be sufficient to identify the book with substantial certainty. -In _Carte_ v. _Evans_,[1355] the title filed was "Pianoforte -Arrangement of the Comic Opera, The Mikado, or the Town of Titipu, -by W. S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan. By George L. Tracey." The -book as published bore the title "Vocal Score of the Mikado, or The -Town of Titipu. Arrangement for Pianoforte by George Lowell Tracey -(of Boston, U. S. A.) of the above-named opera by W. S. Gilbert and -Arthur Sullivan." This was held a sufficient deposit to protect the -pianoforte accompaniment. In _Black_ v. _Allen_[1356] the title -deposited was "An Outline of the Political and Economic History of -the United States, with Maps and Charts: I. History and Constitution -by Alexander Johnson, M. A.; II. Population and Industry by Francis A. -Walker, LL. D." The title of the book as deposited was "United States: -Part III. Political Geography and Statistics, copyright, 1888, by -Francis A. Walker." In the absence of evidence that the defendant was -deceived or misled by the change of the title the Court held that it -was valid. In _Daly_ v. _Brady_[1357] the title of a drama deposited -was "Under the Gaslight: A Drama of Life and Love in these Times." The -actual title as published was "Under the Gaslight: A Romantic Panorama -of the Streets and Homes of New York." The Court held that the change -of title might deceive the public, and therefore the deposit of title -was bad; but this decision was reversed in _Daly_ v. _Webster_;[1358] -the variance was in the description. "The title required may include -a sub-title, but it does not include a description of the book upon -the title-page." - -An author may wish to change his title entirely after he has deposited -the title-page. He may do this before the deposit of copies by -depositing a fresh title-page; but it is questionable whether the -duration of his copyright will run from the first deposit of title or -from the deposit of the altered title.[1359] - -=Delivery of Description.=--Probably a short description is all that -is required. If the title is in itself descriptive, probably that -will be sufficient. The photograph of a painting, or other work of -art which is required to be delivered, does not take the place of a -description.[1360] - -=Delivery of Copies.=--Under the Revised Statutes before 1891 -the printed copies had to be delivered "within ten days from the -publication thereof." This was sufficiently complied with by the -delivery of two copies on the day before publication.[1361] The Act of -1891 now requires that the two printed copies shall be delivered "not -later than the day of publication." - -The copies deposited with the Librarian of Congress do not require to -bear the statutory notice as to copyright.[1362] - -The memorandum given by the librarian is sufficient _primâ facie_ -evidence of the fact and date of deposit.[1363] The librarian's date -stamp on the book is not conclusive, and may be rebutted by other -evidence of the actual date of deposit.[1364] If the copyright matter -is ordinarily bound up with other matter, the Librarian of Congress -cannot insist on the delivery of the bound volume complete. It is a -sufficient delivery to take the volume to pieces and deliver the loose -sheets on which the copyright matter is printed.[1365] Before 1891 -the two copies deposited had to be of the "best edition," but this -appears to be no longer necessary. - -=Printing in the United States.=--In the case of - - i. books, - ii. chromos, - iii. lithographs, - iv. photographs, - -the two copies required to be delivered must be printed from type set -within the limits of the United States or from plates made therefrom, -or from negatives or drawings on stone made within the limits of the -United States, or from transfers made therefrom.[1366] - -This requirement was introduced in 1891, when the privileges of -copyright were extended to subjects and citizens of foreign countries. -Formerly there was no obligation to print within the United States. - -It has been held that a volume of music is not a "book" within the -meaning of the provision in the statute enacting that the two copies -delivered shall be printed in the United States.[1367] It would seem -to follow that the necessity of printing in the United States does -not extend either to maps or charts, or even to dramatic compositions -in book form. These are all dealt with specifically in the Act, and -therefore, on the authority of _Littleton_ v. _Oliver_,[1368] do not -come within the generic term "books." - -=Retrospective Provision.=--By an Act of March 3, 1893, it is enacted-- - - "That any author, inventor, designer, or proprietor of any book or - other article entitled to copyright, who has heretofore failed to - deliver in the office of the Librarian of Congress two complete - copies of such book, or description or photograph of such article - within the time limited by title sixty, chapter three of the - Revised Statutes relating to copyrights and the Acts in amendment - thereof, and has complied with all other provisions thereof, who - has before the 1st day of March 1893 delivered at the office of - Librarian of Congress or deposited in the mail addressed to the - Librarian of Congress two complete printed copies of such book, - or description or photograph of such article, shall be entitled - to all the rights and privileges of such title sixty, chapter - three of the Revised Statutes and the Acts in amendment thereof." - -=Notice of Copyright.=--No person can maintain an action for -infringement of his copyright unless each published copy of his work -bears one or other of the following notices:[1369] - - "Entered according to Act of Congress in the year ----, by A. B., - in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington. - -Or: - - "Copyright, 18--, by A. B." - -Books must bear the notice: - - "On the title-page or page immediately following."[1370] - -Designs for moulded decorative articles, tiles, plaques, or articles -of pottery: - - "Upon the back or bottom of such articles or on such other place - upon them as it has heretofore been usual ... for the placing of - manufacturers, merchants, and trade marks thereon."[1371] - -Other works, including musical compositions, photographs, pictures, -engravings: - - "Upon some visible portion thereof, or of the substance upon which - the same shall be mounted."[1372] - -The statutory requirements as to notice must be strictly complied -with, and a departure from the exact words of one or other of the -alternative forms may be fatal to the right of action. When the only -notice on a book was "Entered according to Act of Congress, in the -year 1878, by H. A. Jackson," it was held an insufficient notice as -complying with neither of the two alternative forms.[1373] - -[Sidenote: Slight variation.] - -A very slight variance in the words or the orders of the slight words, -if the matter is substantially the same, will not, however, make a bad -notice. Thus "1889, Copyrighted by B. J. Falk, N. Y.," has been held -a good notice.[1374] So also has "Copyright entered according to Act -of Congress, 1889, by T. C. Hefel, civil engineer." It was held to -comply with the short alternative notice, viz.: "Copyright, 18--, by -A. B.," the superfluous words being disregarded on the doctrine of -_utile per inutile non vitiatur_.[1375] - -_The name of the proprietor_ who takes out the copyright is an -essential part of the notice. In _Osgood_ v. _Aloe_[1376] the -following notice was printed on the page following the title-page, -"Copyright, 1891; all rights reserved." This was held a bad notice, -and the name of the publishers, who were also the proprietors, printed -on the title-page was insufficient. There was nothing to show that -they were proprietors as well as publishers. Copyright may be taken -out in the name of a firm or a conventional trade name, and if that -name is on the notice it is sufficient.[1377] But it must be the full -and proper name under which the proprietors are trading. Thus when -_The Illustrated American Publishing Company_ issued a paper entitled -_The Illustrated American_, the following was held an insufficient -notice on a crayon drawing published by the Company, viz.: -"Copyrighted 1891, by _The Illustrated American_."[1378] It seems, -however, that it is not necessary for an individual to give his full -name if what is given is sufficient for the purposes of identity. Thus -the surname and the first letter of the Christian name,[1379] and in -one case the surname alone have been held sufficient.[1380] The latter -case was that of a photographer in Brooklyn. It was shown that there -was only one photographer of that name in Brooklyn, and the notice ran -"Copyright, '93, by Bolles, Brooklyn."[1381] If the full name is given -there is no necessity to give the address of the proprietor, even -although he be a foreigner resident abroad.[1382] - -It will not do to put the name of an agent on the notice. In _Nifflin_ -v. _Dutton_[1383] the authoress of "The Minister's Wooing" took out -a copyright in the whole book in her own name. Subsequently several -chapters of the story were published serially in the _Atlantic -Monthly_. The only notice of copyright in that magazine was in the -name of the publishers, Ticknor and Fields. It was held that these -chapters had not a sufficient notice. Great care must be taken in the -case of serial publications. If a story is published in a magazine -each part must be treated as a separate book, and must contain a -notice of copyright by the author if he is the owner. When the book is -published as a whole these notices must be repeated; it will not do -merely to copyright the whole book afresh and print a new notice. - -_Date of Entry._--The date required is the year only; neither the day -nor the month is necessary. The statement of a wrong year has been -held fatal to the notice. In _Baker_ v. _Taylor_[1384] the true date -of taking out copyright was 1846. The notice stated 1847 as the year, -and this was held as bad notice, even although the error arose from -mistake. But in _Callaghan_ v. _Myers_[1385] the notice put an earlier -instead of a later date than the actual date of deposit; the true date -being 1867, the notice declared copyright to have been entered in -1866. This was held an immaterial error, since it deceived no one, and -would only operate to shorten the claimant's copyright by one year. -In _Schumacher_ v. _Wogram_[1386] Wallace, J., doubted whether the -declaration in the notice of a date earlier than the true date would -not make the notice void. It is immaterial that the date on the notice -is abbreviated if it is sufficiently clear what date is meant; thus, -"Copyright, '94, by A. B.," is a good notice.[1387] - -It is extremely difficult to determine what date the law requires to -be placed upon the second or subsequent edition of a book wherein -substantial alterations or additions have been made. In the case of -a reprint, I think it is clear that the date of the first edition, -and that only, is the correct date; and even where alterations or -additions have been made I think that that date is necessary, and -I doubt whether it is necessary to add another notice giving the -date of the revised edition. It would seem that a subsequent edition -does not require to be "entered" in the same manner as the original -edition; the statute is complied with by the deposit of a copy of -every subsequent edition wherein any substantial changes shall be -made. If this is done copyright in the alterations seems to have been -procured. In _Lawrence_ v. _Dana_[1388] Clifford, J., held that it -was not necessary in a subsequent edition to give the date of the -entry of the first edition[1389]; but I doubt if this is sound. On the -whole, I think the correct view is that the matter peculiar to the -first edition, whether it be printed in the first or any subsequent -edition, must bear a notice with the date when that matter was first -entered, and that the matter peculiar to any subsequent edition will -be protected until the expiry of the copyright in the first edition, -if it bears a notice with the date of the first edition only, and if -a copy has been sent to the Librarian of Congress. I further think -that the matter peculiar to subsequent editions may be protected for -the full term of twenty-eight or thirty-two years from the date of the -first publication of the edition in which it is first contained, if -such edition is separately entered, by two copies of the title-page -and of the book being deposited, and if it bears a notice with the -date of such separate entry. I think, therefore, in every new edition -in which there is a substantial alteration or addition there should -as a matter of practice be a separate entry of copyright and separate -notices on the title-page, one for each edition of the book. - -The question may be raised as to whether a book is a subsequent -edition or an entirely new book. In _Banks_ v. _M'Divitt_,[1390] the -plaintiff had annotated the rules of the Supreme Court of New York. -He had published such annotated editions in 1858 and 1871. In 1874 -the rules were extensively amended, and the plaintiff published an -annotated copy. It was held that this was not a subsequent edition of -the original annotated rules, and therefore no notice of the original -date of publication was required. I very much doubt whether this is a -sound decision. It seems to me that in so far as the new book was the -same as the old, it was a subsequent edition, and in order to retain -protection required a notice of original publication. - -_Every published copy_ of every edition[1391] of a work must have -the statutory notice thereon; every proprietor who sues must have -printed the notice on every copy published by him. If an assignee of -a copyright fail to print a proper notice he will have no remedy even -against his assignor for infringement.[1392] From the wording of the -Act of June 18, 1874, it seems that the printing of the notice is not -now a condition precedent to copyright, but is only a condition of -the right of action upon infringement. It is, I think, questionable -whether the failure of A to print a proper notice will affect the -right of B, his assignee, to sue for an infringement subsequent to -the assignment. One who makes an unauthorised copy of a literary or -artistic work is not exempt from liability merely because he can -show that the copy from which he copied had no notice. His defence -must be that such copy left the proprietor's hands without a proper -notice.[1393] The question has been raised, but not answered, whether -if the proprietor grant a licence, and the licensee omits to insert a -proper notice, the proprietor is without a remedy.[1394] - -Formerly if a book were published in several volumes at different -times, it was sufficient to place the notice on the first volume -only,[1395] but now since the Act of 1891[1396] each volume of a book -and each number of a periodical is to be considered an independent -publication, and the notice must be placed on each volume or part -accordingly. - -There is no special provision in the law of the United States as to -newspapers and other periodical works, therefore each issue must be -considered a separate work, and the requisite formalities complied -with in each case. - -_Notice on Painting._--It was contended in one case[1397] that there -was no necessity to place the notice on an original painting, the Act -only requiring notices to be placed on copies made therefrom. The -Court held, however, that the original work was a "copy" within the -meaning of the provision in the Act, and must be inscribed with the -notice accordingly. - -_Maps in Atlas._--Each map contained in an atlas does not require to -be separately copyrighted, or bear a separate notice of copyright. -They are protected by a copyright of the entire work.[1398] The same -would, no doubt, apply to a volume of engravings or other works of art. - -=Publication.=--There appears to be some doubt as to whether -publication is necessary as a condition precedent to the statutory -rights. The duration of copyright is to be measured from the date -of the deposit of the title or description with the Librarian of -Congress; but probably that in itself gives no proprietary right -either in the title or the book. It has been suggested that it gives -an "inchoate right," or an "equitable right, which Chancery will -protect until the other acts may be done."[1399] It may be that -when the formalities have been completed by deposit of copies the -right then acquired dates back to the deposit of title so as to give -a statutory remedy against an infringement made between the two -dates.[1400] When the copies of the book have been deposited, the -express conditions precedent of the statute have been performed; but -the question has been raised whether there will be copyright unless -within a reasonable time thereafter the book or other work is put -in circulation among the public. In _Boucicault_ v. _Hart_[1401] -the Court held that although the title-page had been filed there -could be no copyright without "a deposit of copies and publication." -In _The Jewellers' Mercantile Agency_ v. _Jewellers' Publishing -Company_[1402] the New York Supreme Court, on a question as to -whether an action should be founded on the Statute or at Common -Law, held that although there had been deposit of title and deposit -of copies in accordance with the Acts there could be no copyright, -but only a common law right unless there had been a "publication." -In _Ladd_ v. _Oxnard_,[1403] the circuit judge, Putnam, thought -that the statutory right was perfected by deposit of copies, and -that from then, until "publication," there were concurrent remedies -under the Statute and at Common Law. After the decision in _Ladd_ v. -_Oxnard_[1404] the decision in _The Jewellers' Mercantile Agency_ v. -_Jewellers' Publishing Company_ was reviewed by the Appeal Court of New -York.[1405] The Court was unanimous in reversing the judgment below, -and holding that the plaintiff's right of action was a statutory right -and not a common law right. Three of the judges gave their decision on -the ground that the facts proved showed a publication subsequent to -deposit; but the other three gave it on the ground that the deposit -itself was a publication and completed the statutory copyright. It is -submitted that this latter is the correct view, and that, therefore, -after deposit of the title-page and deposit of copies in due form -nothing further is necessary to acquire copyright. - -Apart from the question as to whether publication is necessary to -complete the statutory right, several questions of importance may -arise on the fact or date of publication, _e. g._: - - 1. The remedy at Common Law depends entirely on the - absence of publication. - 2. The due performance of the formalities of deposit - of title and copies are relative to the date of - publication. - -The essence of publication consists in a disclosure of the thing -itself, so that the public without discrimination of persons have -an opportunity of enjoying its use.[1406] The most usual method of -publication of a literary or artistic work is the offering for sale, -selling, or giving away of copies.[1407] It is not necessary that a -copy of the book be actually sold, it is sufficient if it be offered -to the public. The act of publication is the act of the author, and -cannot be dependent on the act of the purchaser.[1408] Gratuitous -distribution to members of the public, or leaving copies in a place to -which the public have access, such as an hotel, is publication.[1409] -The sale or distribution of copies, however, may be so limited to -individuals, or particular classes of individuals, as not to amount -to publication. When before the advertised date of publication -an advance lot of books in quires unbound were sent to different -publishers, with a request not to publish until bound copies should -be sent, it was held, in the absence of evidence that the request -was not complied with, that there had been no publication.[1410] The -author of a literary or artistic work may circulate it among his -friends, or among a restricted class subject to conditions, and at -the same time retain his common law right in unpublished work.[1411] -A teacher may circulate copies of his work among the members of his -class without publishing the work.[1412] In one case a sheet of -miniature copies of engravings was sent round to picture dealers -solely for their inspection and to solicit orders. This was held not -to be a publication.[1413] Copies of an unpublished opera given to the -performers marked "Right of Representation and Reproduction Reserved" -is not a publication.[1414] The transmission of news over telegraphic -instruments does not constitute a general publication.[1415] In order -to protect the common law right the distribution of copies must be -strictly confined to individuals or to a class. If the man in the -street may buy it there is a publication even although the work is of -such a nature (_e. g._ a trade journal) as will practically be confined -to a limited class.[1416] It does not make it the less a publication -that every purchaser of, or subscriber to, a literary or artistic work -is bound by restrictive conditions as to its use. So long as the work -is put within the reach of all and not limited to a class, it matters -not what conditions are imposed on the individual subscriber.[1417] -Thus the sale of a book to all who paid for a course of instruction -in a system for training the memory was held to be a publication -notwithstanding that each sale was made under a contract not to -disclose the contents to others.[1418] A book may be published -although it is not sold but issued on loan to subscribers with an -express condition that the copy must be returned on the expiry of the -subscription.[1419] Publication of a book in a serial form reserving -all other rights to the author, is such a publication as to abandon -the copyright to the world, if steps have not been taken to copyright -it before such publication.[1420] - -I have little doubt, but there is no definite authority, that a book -may be published so as to destroy the common law right, although it is -not printed. Circulation in manuscript would be enough.[1421] - -The public performance of a dramatic piece is not a publication of -it so as to deprive the proprietor of his common law right in the -manuscript.[1422] The same rule probably applies to the oral delivery -of a lecture or sermon, unless there is some act or circumstance from -which it can be implied that the speaker intended to abandon the -literary matter to the free use of the public. - -It has been held by the Circuit Court of Appeals[1423] that the -exhibition of a picture in a public gallery is a publication of the -picture so as to destroy the owner's rights, unless he has taken steps -to secure a copyright. One of the three judges dissented from the -judgment, but on what ground does not appear. In a case decided by a -district judge,[1424] shortly before the one just cited, the judge -thought that the exhibition of a painting in a public saloon did not -work a forfeiture of the right to obtain copyright unless the general -public was permitted to take copies at pleasure, and such permission -would not be assumed in the absence of direct evidence. The same judge -decided that neither the sale of a replica in a different size made -before the principal picture by way of a study nor the publication of -a crayon sketch in an exhibition catalogue was a publication of the -picture. It is submitted that the exhibition of a picture in a public -gallery is a publication. It seems to afford the public an opportunity -of making every legitimate use of the contents of the picture. They -could not make any greater use of the contents if they bought an -engraving of the picture. It would not even then be lawful for them to -make copies of the picture. As to the replica and the rough sketches -in the catalogue, no doubt they were not "copies" of the picture, and -therefore their publication could not entirely destroy the copyright -in the picture; but if these were published without being copyrighted -or without statutory notice, clearly the public could copy them, and -to that extent the copyright in the design of the original picture -would have been forfeited. - -An unauthorised publication will not operate to forfeit the common law -rights;[1425] but if authorised by the owner it is immaterial that the -publication constitutes a breach of contract with a licensee or part -assignee.[1426] Thus the author of a German unpublished play conveyed -the performing rights in the United States to a citizen of the States, -and contracted with him that he would not publish the play as a -book. In breach of this contract the play was published in Germany -under the authority of the author. It was held that such publication -destroyed all literary rights in the United States.[1427] When the -defendant relies on previous publication he must definitely prove such -publication, and that it was made with the consent of the owner.[1428] - -_The Library of Congress._--All the copyright records are in the -Library of Congress at Washington, and are kept by the Librarian of -Congress, who makes an annual report to Congress of the number and -description of copyright publications. - -The Librarian of Congress must record the name of each copyright work -in a book kept for the purpose. The form of entry is as follows: - - "Library of Congress, to wit,--Be it remembered that on the - ----day of ----, A. B. of ----, hath deposited in this office the - title of a book (map, chart, or otherwise as the case may be, or - description of the article), the title or description of which - is in the following words, to wit: (here insert the title or - description), the right whereof he claims as author (originator or - proprietor as the case may be), in conformity with the laws of the - United States respecting copyright.--C. D., Librarian of Congress." - -The librarian must give a copy of the title or description under -the seal of the Librarian of Congress to the proprietor whenever he -requires it. - -The Librarian of Congress is entitled to receive from the persons to -whom the services are rendered the following fees:[1429] - - 1. For recording title or description 50 c. - 2. For a copy of such record under seal 50 c. - 3. For recording and certifying a written consignment $1 - 4. For a copy of an assignment $1 - -All fees so received must be paid into the Treasury of the United -States. - -The charge for recording the title or description of the work of a -person not a citizen of, or resident in, the United States is $1. - -The Librarian forwards a note of the title-entries to the Secretary -of the Treasury, who must prepare and print, at intervals of not more -than a week, catalogues of such title-entries for distribution to the -collectors of customs of the United States and to the postmasters of -all post-offices receiving foreign mails; and such weekly lists as -they are issued are furnished to all parties desiring them at a sum -not exceeding $5 per annum.[1430] - -The Secretary and Postmaster-General are empowered and required to -make and enforce such rules and regulations as will prevent the -importation into the United States of all articles prohibited by the -Copyright Acts.[1431] - -The Postmaster to whom a copyright book, title, or other article is -delivered for the Librarian of Congress must, if requested, give -a receipt therefor, and when so delivered he must mail it to its -destination.[1432] - -For every failure on the part of the proprietor of any copyright to -deliver or deposit in the mail either of the published copies, or -description, or photograph, the proprietor of the copyright is liable -to a penalty of $25, to be recovered by the Librarian of Congress -in the name of the United States in an action in the nature of an -action of debt in any district court of the United States, within the -jurisdiction of which the delinquent may reside or be found.[1433] - - -SECTION IV.--IMMORAL WORKS. - -A work containing immoral matter will not receive the protection of -the Courts.[1434] A song containing the verse, "She's the hottest -thing you ever seen," was not protected.[1435] The introduction of -obscene, profane, or libellous matter into a literary or artistic -work does not render it _publici juris_; the copyright remains, but -the Court will not entertain any action upon it. Thus in _Broder_ v. -_Zeno_[1436] the Court said that their decision to refuse protection -would not prevent the complainants from republishing their song, and -by omitting the objectionable word thus secure a valid copyright. -If an action is brought for the piracy of immoral matter it will be -dismissed without costs to either party. The fact that a work such -as playing cards may, and probably will, be used for an unlawful -purpose, does not disentitle it to protection.[1437] A guide to the -turf has been protected,[1438] so has a list of records and trotters -and pacers.[1439] - - -SECTION V.--DURATION OF COPYRIGHT. - - "Copyrights shall be granted for the term of twenty-eight years - from the time of recording the title thereof."[1440] - - "The author, inventor, or designer, if he be still living, or his - widow or children if he be dead, shall have the same exclusive - right continued for the further term of fourteen years, upon - recording the title of the work or description of the article so - secured a second time, and complying with all other regulations - in regard to original copyright, within six months before the - expiration of the first term: and such persons shall, within two - months from the date of said renewal, cause a copy of the record - thereof to be published in one or more newspapers printed in the - United States for the space of four weeks."[1441] - -In _Callaghan_ v. _Myers_[1442] it was said that if by an error the -notice of copyright on a published book bore a date prior to the -actual year of publication the result would be not that the notice was -bad, but that the term of copyright would date from the year specified -in the notice. - -Notice that the right to obtain an extended term is not given to the -"proprietor;" therefore an employer whose servant did literary or -artistic work in his employment would not be entitled to an extension. -It seems doubtful whether the servant in such a case, although the -actual author, would be entitled to an extension: it is thought not. - -If the author, inventor, or designer assigns his copyright, he does -not part with his right to an extension unless this is clearly -intended by the transfer.[1443] From the terms of the statute one -might doubt whether the right to obtain an extension is assignable. -No doubt a contract to assign it would be valid, and a document -purporting to assign it would be held equivalent to such, so that on -the extension being acquired the purchaser could compel an assignment. - -If the author of an unpublished work conveys all right, title, and -interest in it to another, he certainly cannot take out an extended -term to run against his grantee.[1444] It seems doubtful whether he -can take it out at all. Certainly his grantee cannot, and probably the -author could not for his benefit. - -If the original term is invalid there will be no right to a -renewal.[1445] - - - - -CHAPTER III - -WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE COPYRIGHT? - - -Under Section 4952 of the Revised Statutes as amended by the Act of -March 3, 1891, the statutory right is vested in "the author, inventor, -designer, or proprietor, and the executors, administrators, or assigns -of any such person." - -Care must be taken in entering a copyright that it is entered by and -in the name of the owner of the common law right in the literary or -artistic work. The entry does not require to be in the name of the -author or to disclose who he is. It must be in the name of the owner, -and if entered in the name of any other person it will be a bad -entry.[1446] Thus, when a printer in his own name copyrighted a book -of which he was not the owner, he could not maintain an action either -for his own use or for the use of the owner.[1447] Every action for -infringement must be brought in the name of the owner of the copyright -for the time being; and it would seem, if he is not the author -himself, he must show a derivative title from the author.[1448] The -owner of a manuscript by an author unknown would not be entitled to -copyright as "proprietor" and first publisher.[1449] - - -SECTION I.--THE AUTHOR. - -_Primâ facie_ the author is owner of the copyright. If he is in a -position of employment the right in his work may vest on creation -in his employer; or he may have contracted in such a way that the -property passes to another.[1450] But some relationship or contract -must be shown whereby the right passes, otherwise it remains the -property of the author. The author who does work on commission does -not necessarily part with his copyright, it may be expressly or -impliedly reserved;[1451] neither does an author under a publishing -agreement necessarily convey his rights to the publisher.[1452] In -either case it will depend on a construction of the contract between -the parties. - -The author of a literary or artistic work is the man who creates -it in his mind.[1453] He may employ others in the execution of the -details or in the merely manual or mechanical work and yet remain the -sole author. The author of a photograph is the man who arranges the -subject and makes choice of the time and light. It does not make him -any less the sole owner of the work that he employs some one to take -off the cap or perform other manual details. A man who compiles a -dictionary or a directory may be the sole owner of it, although he has -had scores of employees working up the separate parts for him.[1454] -But to constitute one an author he must show that his was the -"inventive" or "creative" mind; it will not do that he has suggested -a scheme and employed or procured some one else to carry it out -independently;[1455] he must by his own intellectual labour applied to -the material of his composition produce an arrangement or compilation -new in itself.[1456] There may be joint authorship resulting in -co-ownership. - -When an unpublished work or copyright belongs to two or more persons -in common, whether as co-authors or co-assignees, either of the two -may alone sue a wrongdoer,[1457] and either may at his own expense -publish the book without accounting to his co-owner.[1458] - - -SECTION II.--THE EMPLOYER. - -Probably in the case of a paid servant who does literary or artistic -work for his master in the course of his employment, the master is the -proprietor of the work even in its embryo state, and no conveyance, -transfer, or consent by or on behalf of the servant is necessary -to entitle the master to enter the copyright in his own name as -proprietor. In such a case he does not require to show that he is -the "author" of the work; he is a proprietor, and is entitled to the -copyright as such.[1459] - -In the case of work done on commission the relationship of the parties -is somewhat different. The author is not a servant but an independent -contractor, and therefore his work does not _ab initio_ vest in his -employer. There is a strong presumption in the case of a commission to -execute work not in existence at the time, that the work when executed -is to belong unreservedly to the person giving the order.[1460] The -question depends, however, entirely on what the actual agreement -between the parties was.[1461] An author, although he does work on -commission, may well reserve the copyright to himself, giving to his -employer a licence for a particular purpose only.[1462] If it has -been agreed expressly or impliedly that the employer is to become -owner of the copyright, then the delivery of the manuscript or other -work in fulfilment of the contract will pass the author's literary or -artistic common law right to the employer, and the latter may take -the copyright in his own name as proprietor.[1463] If the term of the -contract were that the author should retain the copyright, copyright -must be entered in the author's name. - - -SECTION III.--THE STATE. - -It has been questioned whether the Government of the United States or -an individual State could take out a copyright for itself.[1464] It -does seem doubtful whether the State can _ab initio_ be the proprietor -of a copyright. As was pointed out in _Banks_ v. _Manchester_:[1465] - - "The State cannot properly be called a citizen of the United - States or a resident therein, nor could it ever be in a condition - to fall within the description in the Revised Statutes, section - 4952 or section 4954." - -A corporation, however, has been held capable of entering itself as -the original proprietor of a copyright.[1466] In the case of _Heine_ -v. _Appleton_,[1467] where an artist was employed on a Government -expedition to Japan on the terms that all his artistic and scientific -work should be the property of the United States Government, and the -artistic material was, with the artist's consent, published by order -of Congress in the report of the expedition, it was said that the -artistic matter had been abandoned to the free use of the public. -It does not appear, however, whether Congress, if they had taken -steps, could or could not have secured a copyright in the literary -or artistic matter in the report. Whether or not the Government -of the United States or a State could be lawfully entered as the -original proprietors of a work, it cannot be seriously doubted that as -assignees they could acquire a copyright in matter already copyrighted -by an individual. This they would be entitled to purchase and hold -as any other Government property, such as ships, guns, and stores. A -copyright might be taken out by an individual minister for the benefit -of the people.[1468] - - -SECTION IV.--THE ASSIGNEE. - -Before copyright has been secured the common law rights in a -manuscript or other unpublished work may be conveyed by parol; no -writing or evidence in writing is required.[1469] If a publisher takes -a copyright in his own name with the knowledge and acquiescence of the -author, the publisher is the lawful owner of the copyright subject -to his accounting to the author in terms of the contract between -them.[1470] Under the Act of 1831, and until the Revised Statutes, -1874, were passed, it would seem that a manuscript could not be -assigned except by writing.[1471] Although the common law exclusive -right of first production may pass by parol or delivery, it does not -necessarily pass with possession or even with the ownership of the -manuscript or other work. An author or other proprietor may sell -documents, pictures, or other literary or artistic articles, reserving -to himself the right of publication and right to acquire copyright -and subsequently multiply copies.[1472] If an author's manuscripts -are sold in execution, the purchaser does not acquire the right of -publication. - -After copyright has been secured the assignment is governed by -statute. Section 4955 of the Revised Statutes, 1874, provides that -copyrights are assignable in law by any instrument in writing, and -such assignment must be recorded in the office of the Librarian of -Congress within sixty days after its execution; in default of which -it is void as against any subsequent purchaser or mortgagee for a -valuable consideration without notice. - -It must be considered at least doubtful whether this section affects -a question between the parties or between the assignee and one who -does not claim through the assignor.[1473] Mr. Drone, in his work on -copyright, expresses an opinion that the first part of the section is -merely permissive, and intended to show that if the assignment is -in writing no formalities are required. I doubt if this is sound. I -think that even as between assignor and the assignee the assignment -must be in writing; but I think the assignee can, without recording -the assignment, sue his assignor or any third person, except those who -claim a title through the assignor. - -An agreement to assign may be made by parol, and where there was no -subsequent assignment in proper form damages could be recovered for -breach of the agreement.[1474] - -Any alien friend may be an assignee of a copyright in the United -States.[1475] - -The assignee appears to take with the copyright an assignment of the -assignor's choses in action; he has been held entitled to sue in -respect of infringements committed prior to assignment.[1476] - -An assignment need not necessarily be made by conveying the author's -entire right to one person. It may be conveyed to two or more persons -in common, or an undivided interest may be conveyed to one or more -persons.[1477] We have seen that the statutory right of reproduction -is divisible from the right of property in the concrete work.[1478] -Thus an author may sell his painting or manuscript and retain the -right to multiply copies. Further, the various rights of copyright -may be split up as the holder pleases;[1479] one may have the right -of printing, another the right of translating, and a third the right -of performing. The assignment may also be limited as to a particular -country or countries,[1480] the right to perform or print in America -may be given to A, and the right to perform or print in Great Britain -to B. Probably an assignment cannot be limited to a portion of the -United States.[1481] I do not think that a copyright could be assigned -for a limited time.[1482] - -As a rule a licensee cannot sue in respect of an infringement; but -a licensee has been held the proper party to sue when he was an -exclusive licensee, and by the terms of his licence was to bring all -necessary suits.[1483] Copyright passes by bequest or on intestacy to -the executors or administrators of the owner.[1484] On bankruptcy the -bankrupt's copyrights may be applied for the benefit of the estate; -but it would probably be necessary for the Court to order a transfer -in conformity with the requirements of the Copyright Acts.[1485] -Probably a bankrupt's manuscripts and other private matter could not -be published for the benefit of the estate without the consent of the -bankrupt. - - - - -CHAPTER IV - -INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT - - -The exclusive right given by the statute is "the sole liberty of -printing, reprinting, publishing, completing, copying, executing, -finishing, and vending ... and, in the case of a dramatic composition, -of publicly performing or representing it or causing it to be -performed or represented by others; and authors or their assigns shall -have exclusive right to dramatize and translate any of their works for -which copyright shall have been obtained under the laws of the United -States."[1486] - - -SECTION I.--WHAT IS A PIRATICAL COPY. - -A copy of a literary or artistic work is such a reproduction of the -original as will serve in whole or in part as a substitute for the -original. Thus the plate from which a piratical engraving is intended -to be struck is not a copy of the original engraving amounting to -an infringement.[1487] Neither when several stones are required to -produce a lithograph is an impression of the first stone only giving -a mere outline an infringement.[1488] But a lithograph may be an -infringement of a photograph if it produces the general conception -even although the artistic detail and peculiar merit of the photograph -are not reproduced.[1489] It has also been held that a photograph may -be infringed by the design thereof being stamped on leather for a -chair seat.[1490] A perforated scroll used for a mechanical musical -instrument, such as a pianola or æolian, is not a piratical copy of -the original music.[1491] - -It is equally an infringement to make copies of a copyright work for a -private distribution as it is to make them for sale.[1492] Strictly, -even a single copy made for private use would be an infringement. - -=Copying may be Indirect.=--A piratical taking need not necessarily -be made direct from an authorised copy of the work alleged to be -infringed. It may be taken from a derivative work, for instance, a -painting may be infringed by copying an engraving made from it;[1493] -or it may be taken from another unauthorised work. It would seem that -it is not considered an infringement of copyright to publish and sell -copies taken from the work before it was copyrighted, even although -published and sold after it was copyrighted.[1494] It might be a -breach of contract or common law right. - -=The Intention need not be Bad.=--There is no necessity for the -plaintiff in an action for infringement to show either that the -defendant when he took the matter knew that it was protected by -copyright, or that he believed the use which he was making of the -plaintiff's work was an unfair one.[1495] The defendant may have been -equally ignorant of fact and law, and yet he will be responsible -for the result of his actions. Conversely, if in fact the defendant -has not made an unfair use of the plaintiff's copyright work, it -is immaterial to show either that he thought he was infringing the -plaintiff's copyright or that he intended to carry his work further -and actually to infringe the plaintiff's rights.[1496] The intention -of the defendant, however, may be material as evidence in a doubtful -case.[1497] - -=Proof of Copying.=--The onus of proving an infringement is on the -party making the charge.[1498] Mere similarity is not sufficient; -he must show that the work charged as a piracy was taken from his -copyright work. The strongest evidence is usually in the coincidence -of errors; but a few solitary instances are not conclusive. In a -question between the authors of two rival law works,[1499] it was held -that the duplication of a few errors in citations was not sufficient -evidence of piracy where there was obviously a great deal of further -work and labour expended in the preparation of the alleged infringing -work. In a question of an alleged infringing digest,[1500] it was held -that the mere verbal identity of the summary of one case where a large -number of cases had been digested was not sufficient proof. - -=No Monopoly in Subject-Matter.=--The right of copyright is an -exclusive right of reproducing the whole or any part of an original -literary or artistic work. It differs from a right of patent in that -it does not prohibit another from producing and reproducing a work -identically the same as the protected work, provided that he does so -by going to the common sources of information and not by copying the -protected work. Copyright creates no monopoly in the subject-matter. -One man may compile tables of shipping and railway statistics; another -may, without infringing the former's copyright, collect the same -material and work it up for himself, producing, if accurately done and -on the same principle, a very similar result.[1501] In the same way -arithmetics,[1502] translations,[1503] school grammars,[1504] maps -of a particular country,[1505] biographies,[1506] lithographs,[1507] -law books,[1508] and other works[1509] do not entitle their author -to say to a subsequent worker in the same field that as he was there -first he has a right to exclude others from competition. In one -case[1510] it was attempted to set up a monopoly in the biography of -President Garfield, on the ground that the President had selected -a particular person for the work. The contention was rejected by -the Court. Probably the only case in which an argument in favour of -monopoly in a certain subject-matter has been sustained is that of -_Thomas_ v. _Lennox_.[1511] The subject of the action was Gounod's -Oratorio _The Redemption_. A pianoforte arrangement had been published -without acquiring copyright, but the orchestral score had never -been published. The defendants procured a composer to compose an -orchestral score from the pianoforte arrangement. This they publicly -performed. In an action for infringement of the common law right in -the plaintiff's unpublished orchestral score, the Court, in granting -an injunction, said: - - "In this respect an opera is more like a patented invention than - a common book; he who shall obtain similar results, better or - worse, by similar means, though the opportunity is furnished by - an unprotected book, should be held to infringe the rights of the - composer." - -It is almost certain that this is bad law;[1512] it is contrary to the -whole principle of copyright, and there is no substantial reason why -an exception should be made in favour of a musical adaptation and not -in that of a map or any other literary or musical work. - -=Taking a Substantial Part.=--In _Lawrence_ v. _Dana_, Clifford, J., -said: - - "Copying is not confined to literal repetition, but includes also - the various modes in which the matter of any publication may be - adopted, imitated, or transferred, with more or less colourable - alterations to disguise the source from which the material was - derived; nor is it necessary that the whole, or even the larger - portion of the work, should be taken in order to constitute an - invasion of copyright."[1513] - -In _Folsom_ v. _Marsh_, Story, J., said: - - "If so much is taken that the value of the original is - sensibly diminished, or the labours of the original author are - substantially, to an injurious extent, appropriated by another, - that is sufficient in point of law to constitute a piracy _pro - tanto_. The entirety of the copyright is the property of the - author, and it is no defence that another person has appropriated - a part and not the whole of any property."[1514] - -To constitute an infringement there must be a taking of a material -part of the original matter from another's work.[1515] To determine -what is a material part is often a question of extreme difficulty and -nicety. It depends on the quantity and quality of the matter taken, -the object with which it is taken, the relation of the works to one -another, the proportion of the matter taken to the complete works, but -more particularly to the work of the borrower, the extent to which the -work borrowed from is injured, and the extent to which the borrower -makes profit from the introduction of the borrowed matter.[1516] In -the case of _Morrison_ v. _Pettibone_,[1517] a district judge held -that the taking of the mere outline of a copyright photograph was -not a copying within the meaning of the statutes. In this case it -had been intended by the defendant to make an entire reproduction of -the photograph by the process of lithography. The stones were all -in actual readiness, but only one had been used, giving the initial -colour and exterior lines of the intended lithograph. In one case -where a few references had been taken by the author of one law book -from another, a preliminary injunction was refused on the ground of -small amount.[1518] The alleged infringement of a copyright photograph -need not, however, be substantially identical in order to ensure -conviction; it is sufficient if a substantial portion of the main -design, distinctive ideas, or characteristic features are taken.[1519] -Taking the boundaries of townships from a copyright map has been held -to be an infringement.[1520] The taking of a single scene from the -drama of another may be an infringement.[1521] It is no answer to an -action for infringement to say that the defendant's book in no way -rivals or competes with the plaintiff's work.[1522] That is merely a -question of damages. - -=Fair Use.=--Although a man is not permitted to take the whole or -part of another's work in the compilation of his own, he is entitled -to make of that other's work what is known as a "fair use," for the -purpose of a new work. One may use another's book as a guide to -authorities;[1523] for supplying suggestions as to treatment of a -subject;[1524] and for the purpose of checking the accuracy[1525] of -a completed work. One may use it as a storehouse of information; but -in a rival work it will be an infringement to take any of the facts as -arranged, or to take any of the language of the other's book, except -for the purposes of criticism. - -Shipman, J., says in _Banks_ v. _M'Divitt_:[1526] - - "I do not understand that the rule prohibits an examination of - previous works by the compiler before he has finished his own - book, or the mere obtaining of ideas from such previous works. - - "It may be laid down as the clear result of the authorities in - cases of this nature that the true test of piracy or not is - to ascertain whether the defendant has in fact used the plan, - arrangements, and illustrations of the plaintiff as the model of - his own book with colourable alterations and variations only to - disguise the use thereof; or whether his work is the result of his - own labour, skill, and use of common materials and common sources - of knowledge open to all men, and the resemblances are either - accidental or arising from the nature of the subject."[1527] - -A dramatist must not take the plot, the characters, the scenes, or -situations from the drama of another.[1528] A musician must not -take his melody from that of another composer.[1529] The compiler -of a digest must not borrow verbatim from the headnotes in the -reports.[1530] The compiler of a directory must discover and make his -own selection of the matter to be comprised in it.[1531] The designer -of a map must not take the position of his towns and boundaries from -a copyright map.[1532] The compiler of a dictionary must not take his -definitions from another's copyright dictionary.[1533] The writer -of a law book must not take his citations and references from the -work of another.[1534] It is no answer to a charge of infringement -for the defendant to say he could have produced the same result with -a little extra trouble. He is not thereby entitled to appropriate -the plaintiff's labours.[1535] A man may take ideas from the work -of another and put his own material into a similar form.[1536] If -one man writes a book on physiognomy on a new system, another may -adopt his system and from his own research write a similar book. So -the copyrighting of tables showing the standing and credit of the -citizens of a state does not prevent another from compiling similar -tables.[1537] The sketch of a detective which was said to convey an -original idea was held not to have been infringed by another drawing -carrying out the same idea but differently executed.[1538] There is -no copyright in a method of advertising,[1539] so that if a tradesman -issues a circular describing a particular method of obtaining goods -by collecting discount coupons, although another tradesman may not -copy his circular he may adopt the same system and issue a catalogue -of his own, describing the system in his own words.[1540] There -is no infringement of a drama in adopting from it a mechanical -contrivance, such as a tank filled with water to represent a river -on the stage.[1541] In the case of _Bullinger_ v. _MacKay_[1542] it -is suggested by Benedict, J., in his judgment that there might be -copyright in a novel system of arranging matter in a statistical work. -It is submitted that this is wrong, and that even if the arrangement -was an original one there would be no infringement in taking the -method of arrangement and applying it independently. - -=Improvement no Excuse.=--It is no answer to an action for -infringement for the defendant to say that he has made a good work out -of a bad one, and so benefited the literary or artistic world.[1543] -Even although I correct errors and make necessary additions so as -to create from a worthless a useful book, I am not entitled so to -deal with another author's work without his permission. Good or bad, -an author is entitled to do what he likes with his own work and to -prevent others making an unfair use of his labours.[1544] - -=Different Object.=--When a subsequent book is written with a -different object from a previous publication it may be legitimate to -take considerable extracts from the earlier work. To what extent this -will be permitted must depend upon the relative value of the matter -taken, and the purpose for which it is taken.[1545] It is not an -absolute answer to an action for infringement to say that the matter -was taken for an entirely different purpose from that for which it was -used in the original work. If the taking in any way supersedes the -uses to which the matter taken might have been put by its original -author there is an infringement.[1546] Thus where the main design of -a photograph was reproduced on stamped leather,[1547] and where the -author of a life of Garfield for the young borrowed largely from a -biography of Garfield written for political campaigns,[1548] there was -held to be infringement. It is the nature and value of the extracts -more than their length or number that must determine whether it was -legitimate to take them or not. - -In _Gray_ v. _Russell_,[1549] Story, J., says: - - "_Non numerantur, ponderantur_; the quintessence of a work may - be piratically extracted so as to leave a mere _caput mortuum_, - by a selection of all the important passages in a comparatively - moderate space." - -=Extract for Review.=--Extracts may be taken from a work for the -purpose of reviewing or criticising it, or writing a treatise in -answer. - - "Reviewers may make extracts sufficient to show the merits or - demerits of the work, but they cannot so exercise the privilege as - to supersede the original work. Sufficient may be taken to give a - correct view of the whole; but the privilege of making extracts - is limited to those objects, and cannot be exercised to such an - extent that the review shall become a substitute for the book - reviewed."[1550] - -A reviewer must not tear the heart out of a book. - -=Abridgments.=--What is called a _bonâ fide_ abridgment is held to be -a fair use of another's work.[1551] The opinions of the judges in the -older cases were derived from the English case law on the subject. I -think it is doubtful whether the English abridgment cases would now be -sustained, as the principle involved is clearly against all the more -recent doctrines as to infringement. In America, however, the judges, -although disagreeing more or less with the case law as to abridgment, -have felt themselves bound by precedent to hold that a fair abridgment -is not a piracy. - -In _Story_ v. _Holcombe_,[1552] M'Lean, J., said: - - "If this was an open question, I should feel little difficulty in - determining it. An abridgment should contain an epitome of the - work abridged--the principles in the condensed form of an original - book. Now it would be difficult to maintain that such a work - did not affect the sale of the book abridged. The argument that - the abridgment is suited to a different class of readers by its - cheapness, and will be purchased on that account by persons unable - and unwilling to purchase the work at large, is not satisfactory. - This to some extent may be true, but are there not many who are - able to buy the original work who will be satisfied with the - abridgment.... The reasoning on which the right to abridge is - founded therefore seems to me to be false in fact. It does to - some extent in all cases, and not unfrequently to a great extent, - impair the rights of the author--a right secured by law.... But - a contrary doctrine has been long established in England under - the Statute of Anne, which in this respect is similar to our own - Statute, and in this country the same doctrine has prevailed. I am - therefore bound by precedent, and I yield to it in this instance - more as a principle of law than a rule of reason or justice."[1553] - - -In _Lawrence_ v. _Dana_,[1554] Clifford, J., took a similar view: - - "Whatever might be thought, if the question was an open one, it is - too late to agitate it at the present time, as the rule is settled - that the publication of an unauthorised but _bonâ fide_ abridgment - or digest of a published literary copyright, in a certain class of - cases at least, is no infringement of the original." - -The learned judge then lays down some restriction on the free right to -abridge: - - "Unless it be denied that a legal copyright secures to the - author 'the sole right and liberty of printing, reprinting, - publishing, and binding the book' copyrighted, it cannot be held - that an abridgment or digest of any kind of the contents of the - copyrighted publication, which is of a character to supersede - the original work, is not an infringement of the franchise - secured by the copyright. What constitutes a fair and _bonâ fide_ - abridgment in the sense of law is, or may be, under particular - circumstances, one of the most difficult questions which can well - arise for judicial consideration; but it is well settled that a - mere selection or different arrangement of parts of the original - work into a smaller compass will not be held to be such an - abridgment."[1555] - -I think that to-day the Courts in America as well as England would, -if the question of abridgments were to come before them, cut down the -right of the abridger very considerably. I could not advise any one -that he was safe in making an abridgment of another's work; certainly -he must avoid making any extracts from the work abridged; the use -of any of the author's language literally or colourably taken would -undoubtedly be piratical. - -=Translations.=--Authors and their assigns have the exclusive -right of translating their works into any language.[1556] Before -1891 the translating right had to be expressly reserved by the -author, presumably by notice printed on every published copy of his -work.[1557] No reservation is now required. Before 1870 there was no -exclusive right of translation at all.[1558] The same remarks apply -to the right of dramatization. The right of dramatization probably -does not prevent a stranger from making a dramatic version for his own -private use; but it would prohibit any public use of such a version -whether by publication in print or representation on the stage. - -=Dramatic Performing Right.=--In the case of dramatic works the -author and his assigns have the sole right of performing the same -in public.[1559] This right was first given by Act of Congress in -1856.[1560] In _Daly_ v. _Palmer_,[1561] Blatchford, J., defines the -scope of the Act: - - "A composition, in the sense in which that word is used in the Act - of 1856, is a written or literary work invented or set in order. - A dramatic composition is such a work in which the narrative is - not related, but is represented by dialogue and action. When a - dramatic composition is represented in dialogue and action by - persons who represent it as real by performing or going through - with the various parts or characters assigned to them severally, - the composition is acted, performed, or represented; and if the - representation is in public, it is a public representation. - To act in the sense of the Statute is to represent as real by - countenance, voice, or gesture that which is not real. A character - in a play who goes through with a series of events on the stage - without speaking, if such be his part in the play, is none the - less an actor in it than one who, in addition to motions and - gestures, uses his voice. A pantomime is a species of theatrical - entertainment, in which the whole action is represented by - gesticulation without the use of words. A written work consisting - wholly of directions, set in order for conveying the ideas of - the author on a stage or public place by means of characters who - represent the narrative wholly by action is as much a dramatic - composition designed or suited for public representation as - if language or dialogue were used in it to convey some of the - ideas."[1562] - -It will be an infringement of performing right to take a single scene -from another's drama.[1563] It is more important to consider what is -a dramatic representation than what is a dramatic composition. If a -composition not primarily intended for representation is publicly -represented without permission, even if it was not a "dramatic -composition," the person representing will be liable for having -dramatized it if the representation is dramatic. There can be a -dramatic representation by one actor only, and many music hall songs -are undoubtedly dramatically represented. - -=Musical Rights.=--Before 1897 there was no exclusive performing right -in musical compositions as such. It might have been protected from -performance if it could be shown to be part of a dramatic piece.[1564] -By the Act of January 6, 1897, performing right in musical -compositions was first created. The protection is now substantially -the same as in the case of dramatic pieces. - - -SECTION II.--PROHIBITED ACTS, AND REMEDIES. - -It is an infringement, subject to the remedies stated below, to do any -of the following acts in respect of a copyright work. - -In the case of: - - I. _Books_:[1565] without the consent of the proprietor in - writing signed in the presence of two witnesses. - - 1. To print or publish. - 2. To dramatize or translate. - 3. To import. - 4. Knowingly to sell or expose for sale copies unlawfully made or - imported. - -The owner's remedies are: - - 1. Forfeiture of copies. - 2. Damages. - 3. Injunction. - 4. Account of profits. - - II. _Maps,_[1566] _charts, dramatic or musical compositions, prints, - art engravings, photographs, chromos, paintings, drawings, - statues, statuary models and designs for the fine arts_: - without the consent of the proprietor in writing - signed in the presence of two witnesses. - - 1. To engrave, etch, work, or copy. - 2. To print or publish. - 3. To dramatize or translate. - 4. To import. - 5. Knowingly to sell or expose for sale copies - unlawfully made or exported. - -The owner's remedies are: - - 1. Forfeiture of plates and sheets. - 2. Penalty of $1 for every sheet found in - defendant's possession. - 3. Penalty of $10 for every copy of a painting, - statue, or statuary. - 4. In the case of a photograph made from any - object not a work of fine art, the sum to - be recovered shall not be less than $100 - nor more than $5000. - 5. In the case of a work of the fine arts or - photograph thereof, the sum to be recovered - shall not be less that $250 nor - more than $10,000. - 6. Injunction. - -One-half of the penalties under the Act of March 2, 1895, -go to the proprietor of the copyright and the other half to the -use of the United States.[1567] - -A series of sheets containing tabulated information has -been held not to be entitled to protection as charts but only -as a book.[1568] An engraving or cut contained in a book or -volume will not be protected as a cut unless it is separately -copyrighted as such.[1569] - - - III. _Dramatic or musical compositions_:[1570] without the consent - of the proprietor. - - 1. Publicly to perform or represent. - -The owner's remedies are: - - 1. Damages not less than $100 for the first, - and not less than $50 for every subsequent - performance. - 2. If done wilfully and for profit it is a misdemeanour, - and the offender may on conviction be imprisoned for - a period not exceeding a year. - 3. Injunction. - -Damages cannot be recovered in a suit in equity, the remedy being -limited to an injunction and profits.[1571] - -=Account of Profits.=--The right to an account of profits is an -equitable remedy, and incidental to the statutory right, although not -expressly conferred by the statute.[1572] - -If a work is in part piratical and in part innocent, then if the -piratical part can be distinctly separated it will be separately -condemned and the profits apportioned.[1573] If the piratical matter -is so mixed up with the rest that it cannot be distinctly separated, -the profits awarded will be the whole profits on the sale of the -book.[1574] When the defendant has sold a book twice, having bought it -back second-hand, the profits include the profits on both sales.[1575] -The cost of producing copies which the defendant did not sell cannot -be estimated in reduction of profits.[1576] There will be no decree -for profits unless there are means of determining in a reliable manner -what sum the defendant received for books.[1577] - -=Damages.=--Damages may be awarded in lieu of or as supplementary to -an account of profits. The measure of damages is the diminution in the -plaintiff's sales due to the publication of the defendant's book. - -The minimum statutory damages given for infringement of performing -rights are remedial but not penal, and the strict rules of evidence -in criminal cases do not apply.[1578] The penalties given for -infringement of maps, &c., are of a penal nature.[1579] - -In respect of maps, musical and dramatic compositions, works of art, -&c., there is no right of action to recover damages merely as such; -the remedy is limited to the prescribed forfeiture and penalties.[1580] - -=Penalties.=--Penalty for "each sheet" does not mean for each copy. -Where a large number of lithograph copies of a photograph were printed -on one sheet it was held that only one penalty was recoverable for the -whole sheet.[1581] Cutting up or binding the sheets does not increase -nor diminish the number of the sheets.[1582] Only those sheets which -are "found in the defendant's possession" are penalised.[1583] They -must be alleged and proved to have been actually discovered in the -defendant's possession before the bringing of the action,[1584] and -not merely be found by the jury to have been in his possession. They -need not necessarily have been found by the plaintiff or any one -acting on his behalf.[1585] An employee who holds possession for his -master is not liable in penalties.[1586] Penalties cannot be recovered -in a suit in equity.[1587] - -=Forfeiture.=[1588]--It seems doubtful whether the forfeiture of -copies of a book under section 4964 of the Revised Statutes can be -enforced unless the whole book is copied. It was held under the Act of -1831 that they could not,[1589] but I doubt if this is sound. - -The statutes give no right of action to the proprietor of a map, -photograph, dramatic or musical work, artistic work, &c., to recover -from an infringer the value of copies which have passed from his -possession.[1590] - -=Injunction.=[1591]--A preliminary injunction is granted, but only -in a plain case,[1592] to stay further damage. The Court will always -consider which party is likely to suffer most from the erroneous -granting or refusing of an injunction. In doubtful cases an injunction -will not be granted simpliciter, but the defendants may be required to -keep an account and give a bond to answer damages.[1593] An injunction -will go at the hearing without reference to the question of special -damage.[1594] - -=Who is Liable.=--The sale of a play with a view to unauthorised -representation makes the seller a joint infringer of the performing -right.[1595] The manager of a company is not personally liable for an -infringement made by the company without his knowledge and against -his express instructions.[1596] A company is liable in penalties as -well as an individual.[1597] The printer and publisher of a piratical -book are liable equally with the writer.[1598] One who procures an -infringement to be made is liable.[1599] - -An employer whose servants or agents infringe the copyright of others -is undoubtedly liable in damages for the wrongful acts of his servants -done in the course of their employment. Thus one who compiles a -directory is responsible for the piratical acts of his canvassers, -even although they acted contrary to his express instructions.[1600] -But it has been held that a man is not liable for forfeitures or -penalties on account of acts done without his knowledge or consent -by his servants or agents in his employment. When an agent had full -authority to advertise his principal's teas as he thought fit and -pirated some election statistics in doing so, it was held that his -principal could not be liable in forfeitures or penalties for acts -done in his absence and without his authority or knowledge.[1601] In -another case it was held that the proprietor of a newspaper was not -responsible in forfeiture or penalties for a piratical copy of a map -which appeared in his newspaper during his absence from the management -and control.[1602] It will be observed that if these cases are sound -the proprietor of the copyright in a map, &c., or artistic work has -no remedy in either penalties or damages against the proprietor of -an infringing publication unless he can show that the piratical -matter was inserted with his knowledge or consent. This follows from -the above decisions that the specific penalties constitute the only -remedy by way of damages which the proprietor of these works can -recover.[1603] - -=Limitation of Action.=--No action can be maintained in any case of -forfeiture or penalty under the copyright laws unless the same is -commenced within two years after the cause of action has arisen.[1604] -This includes all claims, not only those for forfeiture and penalty -so-called, but for damages under Revised Statutes, sec. 4964, in -respect of books.[1605] - -=Acquiescence.=--Mere delay on the part of the plaintiff in pursuing -his remedy is no defence to an action for infringement.[1606] A -preliminary injunction may be refused on the ground of delay. -The remedy on the final hearing will not be barred by laches or -acquiescence, unless it is tantamount to fraud for the plaintiff to -insist on his legal rights.[1607] A right may perhaps be abandoned by -allowing numerous members of the public to exercise it without licence -or objection.[1608] - -=Pleading.=--In pleading, the plaintiff does not have to allege the -facts which make him proprietor.[1609] If it is disputed, it is for -the defendant to allege and prove facts to the contrary.[1610] The -plaintiff, however, must allege specifically a compliance with the -statutory formalities, although he need not allege that publication -took place within a reasonable time after the deposit of the -title.[1611] - -In all actions arising under the laws respecting copyrights, the -defendant may plead the general issue, and give the special matter in -evidence.[1612] - -=Penalties for affixing False Notice.=--Every person who shall insert -or impress a copyright notice, "or words of the same import, in or -upon any book, map, chart, dramatic or musical composition, print, -cut, engraving or photograph or other article, whether such article -be subject to copyright or otherwise, for which he has not obtained -a copyright, or shall knowingly issue or sell any article bearing -a notice of United States copyright which has not been copyrighted -in this country; or shall import any book, photograph, chromo or -lithograph, or other article bearing such notice of copyright, or -words of the same purport which is not copyrighted in this country, -shall be liable to a penalty of $100, recoverable one-half for the -person who shall sue for such penalty, and one-half to the use of the -United States."[1613] - -This section was amended in 1891 and again in 1897. It now reads as -above. Before 1897 the penalty was not recoverable from one who sold -copies, knowing them to contain a false notice, unless he had made -the book or caused the notice to be inserted.[1614] Before 1897 also -there could be no conviction unless the article on which the false -notice was impressed was a copyrightable article.[1615] - -The penalty is not recoverable for each copy, but for each issue. -Where chromos were struck off in large numbers for advertising -purposes, each separate batch being printed with a different trade -name for different customers, it was held that the penalty was -recoverable on each batch.[1616] For a notice to incur the penalty as -a false notice, it is not necessary that it should have been printed -as directed by the Acts. It will be subject to the penalty even -although printed in another part of the book.[1617] Rough prints of -a picture made for the purpose of advertisement bore a false notice, -and were held to have incurred the penalty.[1618] It is not unlawful -to impress a notice of copyright on a rough copy of a copyright -picture, even although such copy is not separately copyrighted.[1619] -Liability will not attach unless the notice contains the essentials -of a sufficient copyright notice, viz. "name," "claim of exclusive -right," and "date when obtained." Thus where the date was omitted no -penalties were recovered.[1620] Any one who causes a false notice to -be impressed is equally liable with the person who himself impresses -it.[1621] - -=Importing Books Printed Outside the United States.=--If copyright has -been secured in the United States, importation of any book, chromo, -lithograph, or photograph, or any plates of the same, not made from -type set, negatives, or drawings on stone made within the limits of -the United States,[1622] is prohibited, either with or without the -consent of the owner of the copyright. - -Except-- - - 1. Works printed or manufactured more than twenty years - at the date of importation.[1623] - 2. Books and pamphlets printed exclusively in languages - other than English.[1624] - 3. Books and music in raised print used exclusively by - the blind.[1625] - 4. Works imported by authority for the use of the U. S. or - the Library of Congress.[1626] - 5. Books, maps, lithographic prints and charts specially - imported, not more than two copies in any one - invoice, in good faith, for the use of societies, schools, - colleges, &c.[1627] - 6. Books imported for use and not for sale subject to - payment of duty, and not more than two copies at - any one time.[1628] - 7. Newspapers and magazines, if they contain no infringement - of U. S. copyright.[1629] - - - - -CHAPTER V - -COMMON LAW RIGHTS - - -SECTION I.--PUBLISHED WORK. - -After a work has been published it has no protection in the nature -of copyright except under an Act of Congress.[1630] If either from -the nature of the work, or from the want of conforming with the -formalities of the Act, there is no statutory protection, then there -can be no exclusive right of copying the work. After a drama or -musical piece has been published as a book, not only the copyright -in it but also the performing right depends entirely on statutory -protection.[1631] Performance on the stage not being a publication, -affects neither the right of copy nor the performing right. - -Although there is no right of copy in a published work except under -statute, there are certain common-law rights based on fraud or implied -contract which are incident thereto, and which neither depend on nor -are affected by statutory protection. - -=Passing off.=--One man is not entitled so to produce his book as -to lead the public to believe it is the work of another.[1632] The -same or a similar title is the most usual method of passing off. One -cannot monopolise a purely descriptive title such as "Latin Grammar" -or "Guide to the Alps;" but it was held a passing off to take the -title, "The _Fram_ Expedition--Nansen in the Frozen World;"[1633] so -the title "Social Register" to a select list of residents in a certain -district was infringed by a similar list bearing the title "Howard's -Social Register."[1634] It is immaterial in a question of passing off -that the book itself is unprotected from copying. Thus an English -magazine called "Chatterbox" was largely sold in the United States, -but was not copyright. Although it would have been quite legal to have -copied the English magazine and sold such copies under its own title, -it was not permissible to publish another magazine under the title of -"Chatterbox."[1635] In another case it was held that one might not -adopt the title of another's operetta for his own, even although the -songs and vocal scores of the operetta had been published under the -title without securing copyright.[1636] - -It is not a passing off to reprint another man's book and sell -it in his own name, and if the copyright has expired he has no -redress.[1637] He has no property in his own name as such. After the -copyright had expired in "Webster's Dictionary," Webster's assignee -was held to have no ground for restraining any one from reprinting and -selling "Webster's Dictionary" under that title.[1638] Even where the -name was a pseudonym, "Mark Twain," the author was not entitled to -prevent others from printing and selling some non-copyright work of -his as "Sketches by Mark Twain."[1639] - -A man may prevent the publication under his name of a book of -which he is not the author or which has been mutilated without -his authority.[1640] Henry Drummond, the evangelist, delivered a -series of lectures at Boston, Massachusetts, on "The Evolution of -Man." Eight out of twelve lectures were partially printed with -the author's consent in the British Weekly, and no copyright was -secured in America. It was held that Professor Drummond was entitled -to restrain a reprint of these published lectures reproduced with -material alterations, and represented as being the complete series of -lectures.[1641] An author who has parted with or lost his copyright -has no right to regulate the manner in which his work may be -published, provided that there is no misrepresentation causing injury -to the author's name.[1642] - -In one case,[1643] however, the defendants were restrained from a -similar proceeding on the ground of unfair trading. They bought -second-hand school books published by the plaintiff, and rebound them -so as to have the exact appearance of the plaintiff's books when new. -It was held that they were entitled to do this without infringing -any right of the plaintiff in their copyright book; but it was also -held that it was not fair trading to sell the rebound books without -sufficient notice that they were rebound. - -If there have been several editions of a book, the copyright in the -first of which only has expired, the author may restrain a publisher -from reprinting and publishing the first edition so as to lead the -public to believe that it is a later edition still copyright.[1644] -The owner of a series of novels, published in two editions, cannot -prevent a third person buying a large quantity of the sixth edition -and binding them so as to somewhat resemble the dearer edition.[1645] -When the "Encyclopædia Britannica" was published, only a few of -the articles were copyright in America. It was held that it was -permissible for an American publisher to reprint the whole work so far -as not copyright, and to substitute new articles for the copyright -articles, and so long as there was no attempt to defraud the public to -publish it as the "Encyclopædia Britannica" so revised.[1646] - - -SECTION II.--UNPUBLISHED WORK. - -Unpublished work is protected from interference by the common law of -England, which was brought to and adopted by the United States.[1647] -When the common law is asserted one must look to the law of the -State in which the controversy originated,[1648] since although the -common law of England was adopted, it was adopted only so far as its -principles were suited to the conditions of the colonies at the time, -and some States have incorporated with their laws more and some less. -The rights at common law in unpublished work were not abrogated by -Acts of Congress establishing copyright in published work. - -The author of an unfinished work has the right at common law to -prevent any one from making any unauthorised use of his work.[1649] -The author may without publishing make a communication of the contents -of his work to a limited number,[1650] and he may prescribe to them -what conditions he pleases.[1651] A play or song is not published -by performance nor a lecture by delivery.[1652] A work of art is -probably published by public exhibition,[1653] but not by a private -view. A spectator of an unpublished play is not entitled to reproduce -substantial parts of it even from memory.[1654] Similarly with a -musical work or lecture. - -An alien author has an equal right with a citizen of the United States -to sue at common law for interference with his manuscript.[1655] A -statutory remedy is given for the unauthorised printing or publishing -of any manuscript. The offender is liable "for all damages occasioned -by such injury."[1656] This statutory remedy neither destroys nor -limits the common law right.[1657] No new right is secured.[1658] -The practical result is that an alternative remedy in the Federal -tribunals is provided where the parties are subjects of the same -State. The plaintiff may proceed either in the State Court or the -Federal Court.[1659] Manuscript under this section is limited to the -meaning of a written document.

(Preamble recites the Berne Convention, 1886, Order in -Council November 28, 1887, other Orders in Council affecting countries -subsequently acceding, and the Additional Act of Paris.) - -And whereas Her Majesty in Council is satisfied that the foreign -countries named in the body of this Order and parties to the said -Additional Act have made such provisions as it appears to Her Majesty -expedient to require for the protection of authors of works first -produced in Her Majesty's dominions: - -Now therefore Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council -and by virtue of the authority committed to Her by the International -Copyright Acts, 1844 to 1886, doth order, and it is hereby ordered as -follows: - -(1.) The Additional Act of the Berne Convention set forth in the -Schedule to this Order shall as from the commencement of this Order -have full effect throughout Her Majesty's dominions, and all persons -are enjoined to observe the same. - -(2.) This Order shall extend to the foreign countries following, that -is to say:[1784] - - Germany, - Belgium, - Spain, - France, - Italy, - Luxembourg, - Monaco, - Montenegro, - Switzerland, and - Tunis. - -(3.) The fourth article of the Order in Council of November 28, 1887, -shall as from the commencement of this Order cease to apply to the -foreign countries to which this Order extends: - -(4.) The Order in Council of November 28, 1887, shall continue to be -of full force and effect save in so far as the same is varied by this -Order. - -(5.) Nothing contained in this Order shall prejudicially affect any -right acquired or accrued before the commencement of this Order -by virtue of the said Order in Council of November 28, 1887, or -otherwise, and any person entitled to such right shall continue -entitled thereto and to the remedies for the same in like manner as if -this Order had not been made. - -(6.) The author of any literary or artistic work first produced before -the commencement of this Order shall have the rights and remedies to -which he is entitled under section 6 of The International Copyright -Act, 1886. - -(7.) This Order shall be construed as if it formed part of The -International Copyright Act, 1886. - -(8.) This Order shall come into operation on the date hereof, which -day is in this Order referred to as the commencement of this Order. - -And the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury are to give the -necessary orders herein accordingly. - - -TREASURY MINUTE - -TREASURY MINUTE[1785] DEALING WITH THE COPYRIGHT IN GOVERNMENT -PUBLICATIONS, AUGUST 31, 1887. - -My Lords take into consideration the correspondence which has passed -between the Treasury and the Stationery Office on the subject of -Copyright in Government publications. - -The law gives to the Crown, or the assignee of the Crown, the same -right of copyright as to a private individual. Consequently, if a -servant of the Crown, in the course of his duty for which he is paid, -composes any document, or if a person is specially employed and paid -by the Crown for the purpose of composing any document, the copyright -in the document belongs to the Crown as it would in the case of a -private employer. - -The majority of publications issued under the authority of the -Government have no resemblance to the works published by private -publishers, and are published for the information of the public and -for public use, in such manner as any one of the public may wish, -and it is desirable that the knowledge of their contents should be -diffused as widely as possible. - -In other cases the Government publishes at considerable cost works in -which few persons only are interested, but which are published for the -purpose of promoting literature and science. - -These works are of precisely the same character as those published by -private enterprise. - -In order to prevent an undue burden being thrown on the taxpayer by -these works, and to enable the Government to continue the publication -of works of this character to the same extent as heretofore, it is -necessary to place them, as regards copyright, in the same position -as publications by private publishers. If the reproduction of them, -or of the most popular portions of them, by private publishers, is -permitted, the private publisher will be able to put into his own -pocket the profits of the work, which ought to go in relief of the -general public, the taxpayers. - -The question, then, is, what are the classes of works the reproduction -of which is to be restricted, or to be left unrestricted? - -Government publications may be classified as follows: - - (1.) Reports of Select Committees of the two Houses of Parliament, - or of Royal Commissions. - - (2.) Papers required by Statute to be laid before Parliament, - _e. g._, Orders in Council, Rules made by Government Departments, - Accounts, Reports of Government Inspectors. - - (3.) Papers laid before Parliament by Command, _e. g._, Treaties, - Diplomatic Correspondence, Reports from Consuls and Secretaries of - Legation, Reports of Inquiries into Explosions or Accidents, and - other Special Reports made to Government Departments. - - (4.) Acts of Parliament. - - (5.) Official books, _e. g._, Queen's Regulations for the Army or - Navy. - - (6.) Literary or quasi-literary works, _e. g._, the Reports of the - _Challenger_ Expedition, the Rolls Publication, the forthcoming - State Trials, the "Board of Trade Journal." - - (7.) Charts and Ordnance Maps. - -As respects the first five classes of publications, the reproduction -of them, with certain exceptions, should not be restricted in any form -whatever. Indeed, in most cases it is desirable that they should be -made known to the public as widely as possible. - -The first exception is, that Acts of Parliament and official books -should not, except when published under the authority of the -Government, purport on the face of them to be published by authority. - -The second exception is, where a work of a literary or quasi-literary -character comes accidentally within these classes. For example, the -Reports of the Historical Manuscripts Commission would, but for the -fact that they were produced under the direction of a Commission -instead of under the Master of the Rolls, be published in the ordinary -manner like the Rolls publications, and come within Class 6. - -So, again, a Report to a Government Department may be laid before -Parliament made by a person of eminent scientific knowledge who is -willing to give the Government and the public the advantage of his -knowledge, but not to allow it to be reproduced for the private -benefit of an individual publisher. Mr. Whitehead's Reports on -Injurious Insects are an instance of this case. - -Other exceptions will, no doubt, from time to time occur, which can -only be dealt with as they arise. - -As regards the sixth and seventh classes above mentioned, it seems -desirable that the copyright in them should be enforced in the -interests of the taxpayer, and of literature and science. For, as -pointed out above, unless copyright is enforced, cheap copies of the -works, or of the popular portion of them, can be produced by private -publishers, who reap the profit at the expense of the taxpayer. And -as such works are in any case a burden on the taxpayer, the greater -the burden the fewer works can the Government, with justice to the -taxpayer, undertake. - -Notice of the intention to enforce the copyright in any work should -be given to the public. In the case of future works this notice can -be given by prefixing to the work a notice to the effect that the -rights of copyright are reserved. In the case of past works it will be -desirable to inform the publishing trade of the works the reproduction -of which, without permission, is forbidden. - -As respects Acts of Parliament, the Government, in obedience to the -wishes of Parliament expressed by Select Committees, are bound to -publish an edition of them by authority as cheaply as practicable, and -a nearly similar remark applies to official publications. For this -purpose the Comptroller of the Stationery Office shall be appointed -Her Majesty's Printer, but care will be taken not to infringe on any -existing privileges granted by the Crown. - -Let instructions be given to the Comptroller of the Stationery Office -and to the Solicitor in pursuance of this Minute. - - -AMERICAN STATUTES - -REVISED STATUTES, 1874. - -TITLE lx. c. 3.

VII. c. 15. - -Since this work went to press the Musical Copyright Bill mentioned -on page 231 has received the Royal Assent and become law. The Act -will come into operation on October 1, 1902, and its application is -limited to the United Kingdom. The Act gives the owner of copyright -music power to seize pirated copies of his works from any person who -may hawk, carry about, sell, or offer for sale the same. To exercise -this power he may proceed in one of two ways. He may apply to a court -of summary jurisdiction, and on _primâ facie_ evidence the court will -by order authorise a constable to seize the alleged pirated copies, -or he may without applying to the court himself authorise a constable -in writing to seize such copies. On the copies being seized by the -constable they must be brought before the court, and on proof that -they are pirated copies the court will order them to be destroyed or -delivered to the owner of the copyright. If the owner authorises the -seizure without an order from the court and fails to prove his case -he might be liable in damages. If, therefore, the owner is not quite -sure of his case he should first obtain the order of the court, which -will relieve him from all responsibility, except costs, in the event -of his failing. The Bill as originally brought into the House of Lords -contained a clause empowering a court of summary jurisdiction to -inflict a summary penalty on persons dealing with pirated music. It -also proposed to give the court power to order a constable to search -for pirated music on suspected premises. These remedies, however, were -considered by the House of Commons to be too drastic and were omitted -from the Act. - - - - -INDEX - - - - -INDEX - -The figures in black type indicate that the reference is to Part II., -which deals with the Law of the United States. -

In working from time to -time at the Law of Copyright I found great want of a text-book -which should be exhaustive of the case law, and at the -same time contain a concise and clearly arranged epitome -of the statutory provisions. This want I have tried to supply -for myself in the present compilation, and it is now published -in the hope that it may prove useful to others. The present -law is bad both in substance and form, but it is the more -essential that those who have anything to do with literary or -artistic property should comprehend it in so far as it is comprehensible. -There are probably more pitfalls for the unwary -in dealing with Copyright than with any other branch of the -law.</p> - -<p>We have for some time been on the eve of a general -codification and amendment of the Law of Copyright. It -is, however, an eve of long and indefinite duration. It is -now twenty-eight years since the Royal Commission on Copyright -was appointed, and still nothing has been done to -ameliorate the lamentable condition in which the Commissioners -then found the law. Dissensions among those -who are interested in Copyright, failure to come to a satisfactory -arrangement with the colonies, and want of time at -the disposal of the legislature are mainly responsible for this -delay. In the meantime it is well that all those who are -interested in Copyright should make themselves conversant -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_viii">[viii]</span> -with the law as it now is, so that when the time for legislation -does at last come the result may be the more -satisfactory.</p> - -<p>I have added to this work Part II., dealing with Copyright -in the United States, and I hope it may prove useful not -only to English but to American lawyers and publishers.</p> - -<p>I have to acknowledge much assistance in the preparation -of this work and many invaluable suggestions from my -friends, Mr. Langridge, of the Middle Temple, and Mr. -Mackinnon, of the Inner Temple.</p> - -<p class="author">E.

No -book whatsoever was allowed to be printed without a licence -or grant of monopoly from the Crown. One of the principal -objects in the exercise of this prerogative was the prevention -of the dissemination of religious doctrines contrary to the -accepted faith.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">The Company -of -Stationers.</div> - -<div class="sidenote">The Star -Chamber.</div> - -<p>Henry VIII. created the Company of Stationers to supervise -and control the publication of books. This company made -various rules and regulations as to the printing of books, and -from them licences could be obtained by an author to print his -copy. The Stationers' Company was first incorporated in the -reign of Philip and Mary in 1556. The Crown enforced its -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_4">[4]</span> -prerogative and the rules of the Stationers' Company by means -of the Court of Star Chamber, which from time to time passed -various decrees, and punished offenders by fine and imprisonment.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">The germ -of Copyright.</div> - -<div class="sidenote">Licences.</div> - -<p>By this means the Crown until 1640 exercised an unlimited -jurisdiction over the press. In this there was no recognition -of a right of property in the author of a work, but -merely an enforcement of the royal prerogative to control the -press. Incidentally, however, a kind of property sprang up, -since the Stationers' Company in granting licences recognised -the right of the author or his assignee to his copy. Licences -were granted to those who showed that they had a right in -the manuscript, and all others were prohibited from infringing -the monopoly. An entry in the records of the Stationers' -Company in 1562, for instance, enacts "That if it be found -any other has a right to any of the copies, then the licence -touching such of the copies so belonging to another shall be -void."</p> - -<div class="sidenote">The Long -Parliament.</div> - -<p>When the Star Chamber was abolished in 1640 the two -Houses made an ordinance prohibiting printing unless the book -was first licensed and entered in the register of the Stationers' -Company, and further prohibiting printing without the consent -of the owner.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">Licensing -Statute.</div> - -<p>At the Restoration a licensing statute<a id="FNanchor_2" href="#Footnote_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a> was passed similarly -prohibiting printing without licence and without the consent of -the owner. The statute finally expired in 1694.</p> - -<p>On the expiry of the licensing statute, authors and publishers -thought that all protection for literary work was gone, -and made strenuous efforts for new legislation. Bills were -brought into Parliament in 1703 and 1706, and finally in -1709 the copyright statute of Anne became law.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">8 Anne, -c. 19. -The beginning -of -Statutory -Copyright.</div> - -<p>The Act of Anne created for the first time a statutory property -in books. The author of any book and his assignee or -assigns were given the sole liberty of printing and reprinting -such book for the term of fourteen years from publication -"and no longer," and if at the end of that period the author -was still living, then such right returned to the author for -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_5">[5]</span> -another term of fourteen years. The Act provided that an -offender should forfeit pirated copies and sheets to the proprietor -of the copyright, who was enjoined to "forthwith damask -and make waste paper of them." The Act further imposed -a penalty of one penny for every sheet found in the offender's -possession, one half of the penalties to go to the Crown and -the other half to any person who should sue for the same. The -Act made registration in the Register Book of the Company of -Stationers before publication a condition precedent to an action -for the infringement of any book. A provision was made in -this Act for an adjustment of the price of books by complaint -to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor and -others, if booksellers or printers set too high a price upon their -publications. Provision was also made for the delivery of -nine copies at the warehouse of the Stationers' Company for -the use of various libraries.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">41 Geo. III., -ch. 107.</div> - -<p>The Act of Anne was amended in some particulars in 1801 -by 41 Geo. III. c. 107.

III., -ch. 156.</div> - -<p>The Act of Anne was again amended in 1814 by 54 Geo. -III. c. 156.

They discovered, by the aid no doubt -of legal advice, that a further protection might be secured by -setting up a common law right of literary property which would -ensure not merely a paltry term of twenty-eight years, but a -perpetual monopoly. The result of this discovery led to half a -century of litigation between the authors' booksellers and those -other smaller booksellers who contended that they might without -licence print those books in which the statutory copyright -had expired. At first the authors' men were successful, and -from 1735 there is a series of cases in Chancery in which a -common law right in published books was undoubtedly recognised -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_6">[6]</span> -and a preliminary injunction granted, notwithstanding -that the period of protection given by 8 Anne, c. 19, had -expired.<a id="FNanchor_3" href="#Footnote_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a></p> - -<div class="sidenote"><i>Tonson</i> v. -<i>Collins</i>.</div> - -<div class="sidenote">A collusive -action.</div> - -<p>These injunctions appear to have been acquiesced in, and -the cases did not proceed to hearing. In 1760, in the case of -<i>Tonson</i> v. <i>Collins</i>,<a id="FNanchor_4" href="#Footnote_4" class="fnanchor">[4]</a> the great question of common law right was -argued at law before Lord Mansfield, C. J. The action was in -respect of the <i>Spectator</i>, the statutory copyright in which had -expired. It was twice argued before Lord Mansfield, who -then ordered that it should stand over for further argument -before all the twelve judges. No judgment was ever given in -the case. Before it could be argued before the whole Court, -information reached the judges that the action was collusive, -brought for the purpose of obtaining a precedent to support -the contention of the authors' men. The Court refused to -proceed further with the cause.</p> - -<div class="sidenote"><i>Osborne</i> v. -<i>Donaldson</i>.</div> - -<div class="sidenote"><i>Millar</i> v. -<i>Taylor</i>.</div> - -<div class="sidenote"><i>Donaldson</i> -v. <i>Beckett</i>.</div> - -<p>It was not long, however, until the question was again -raised. In 1765 Messrs. Osborne & Millar, assignees of the -copyright in Thomson's "Seasons," filed their Bills in -Chancery against Donaldson, an Edinburgh bookseller, who -had, without their authority, reprinted the book after the -statutory copyright had expired.<a id="FNanchor_5" href="#Footnote_5" class="fnanchor">[5]</a> A preliminary injunction was -obtained, but subsequently dissolved. Lord Chancellor Northington -said it was a point of so much difficulty and consequence -that he should not determine it at the hearing, but -should send it to law for the opinion of the judges. The question -therefore again came to law, and, in <i>Millar</i> v. <i>Taylor</i>,<a id="FNanchor_6" href="#Footnote_6" class="fnanchor">[6]</a> was -argued at great length before Lord Mansfield and Justices -Aston, Willis and Yates. The authors' men were victorious. -The Court decided (Yates, J., dissenting) that there was copyright -at common law, and that the period of protection thereunder -was not cut down by the statute of Anne. This great -victory, however, afforded but a short-lived triumph to literary -men. In 1774, in <i>Donaldson</i> v. <i>Beckett</i>,<a id="FNanchor_7" href="#Footnote_7" class="fnanchor">[7]</a> the matter came before -the House of Lords on appeal from an order in Chancery, with -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_7">[7]</span> -the result that the decision in <i>Millar</i> v. <i>Taylor</i><a id="FNanchor_8" href="#Footnote_8" class="fnanchor">[8]</a> was overruled. -In this case all the judges were consulted. Eleven consulted -judges gave their opinion. The questions put to the judges, -and the answers given by them, are as follows:</p> - -<div class="sidenote">Opinions of -the judges.</div> - -<p>1.

The principal reform is the extension of the term -of protection to a period of forty-two years certain, or for the -author's life and seven years if that should prove longer. -Perhaps the other most important change (it cannot decently -be called a reform) is the reduction of registration at Stationers' -Hall to a mere useless and troublesome technicality. Instead -of being as formerly a condition precedent to protection, and -therefore a useful index from which one could ascertain whether -a book was copyright or not, it is now made merely a condition -precedent to action, and registration can be effected the same -day as that on which a writ is issued.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">Engravings.</div> - -<p>Meanwhile the engravers as well as the authors had been -working for the proper protection of their art. In 1734 they -first obtained a statute which, together with the amending -statutes passed in 1766, 1776, and 1836 respectively, still -contains the law of copyright in engravings, prints, etchings, -and similar productions.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">Sculpture.</div> - -<p>In 1798 the sculptors obtained an Act.

The Literary Copyright Act, 1842, also applied the -provisions of both these Acts to performing rights in musical -compositions hitherto unprotected in this respect. As regards -musical composition, the law is amended by two subsequent -Acts which must be read with the two older Acts.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">Lectures.</div> - -<p>In 1835 an Act was passed for the protection of copyright -in lectures. This Act, although still in force, has become a -dead letter since the requisite notice to two Justices of the -Peace is troublesome, and lectures receive full protection from -copying by common law and under the Literary Copyright Act, -1842. The Lectures Act never purported to give anything -in the nature of a performing or lecturing right, but merely a -protection from unauthorised reproduction in print.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">Paintings, -Drawings, -and Photographs.</div> - -<p>The artists were the last to obtain protection for their work. -It was not until 1862 that an Act was passed giving statutory -protection to paintings, drawings, and photographs.

It only -indicates what the outward visible form of the "book" must -be, and gives no indication of the nature or quality of the -literary matter which it must contain. Even as a guide to the -form it is defective, since it is only a definition by example and -not exhaustively descriptive. In the absence of an accurate -statutory definition of a "book," the Courts have given a very -wide interpretation to the term, and both as to the form and the -matter have strained the ordinary dictionary meaning of the word -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_11">[11]</span> -to the uttermost. In the light of the decided cases a "book" -might be defined as <i>original literary matter in such tangible form as -readily conveys ideas or information to the mind of a reader</i>.</p> - -<p><b>Essential Elements of a Book.</b>—There are three essential -elements which must be found in every book, viz.:</p> - -<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> - <span class="i0"><span class="rgt">I.</span> A certain physical form.</span> - <span class="i0"><span class="rgt">II.</span> Literary matter.</span> - <span class="i0"><span class="rgt">III.</span> Originality.</span> -</div></div> - -<p>I. <i>Physical Form.</i>—The form of the book need not necessarily -constitute what in common parlance is known as a book or -volume. Thus a single sheet of music<a id="FNanchor_16" href="#Footnote_16" class="fnanchor">[16]</a> or a printed leaflet -such as an application form<a id="FNanchor_17" href="#Footnote_17" class="fnanchor">[17]</a> are both books within the meaning -of the Copyright Acts.</p> - -<p>In one case<a id="FNanchor_18" href="#Footnote_18" class="fnanchor">[18]</a> it was held that a newspaper was not a book, -but that decision was not followed,<a id="FNanchor_19" href="#Footnote_19" class="fnanchor">[19]</a> and there can now be no -doubt that a newspaper comes within the definition of a book -as a sheet of letterpress.<a id="FNanchor_20" href="#Footnote_20" class="fnanchor">[20]</a></p> - -<p>The form must be adapted for conveniently conveying to -the mind of a reader the intellectual matter which the book -contains. It will not be sufficient that it can possibly be used -for conveying intellectual matter to the mind, it must be conveniently -adapted for that purpose. Thus music in the form -of a perforated scroll for use in an æolian or pianola is not a -"book,"<a id="FNanchor_21" href="#Footnote_21" class="fnanchor">[21]</a> for although it can be deciphered and read by the -eye no one in his senses would use it instead of an ordinary -sheet of music. On the other hand literary matter may nevertheless -be in "book" form although it requires a special -training to decipher it. For instance a story written in shorthand -characters is in book form,<a id="FNanchor_22" href="#Footnote_22" class="fnanchor">[22]</a> and no doubt also a story -impressed in raised characters for the blind.<a id="FNanchor_23" href="#Footnote_23" class="fnanchor">[23]</a></p> - -<p>The substance on which the literary matter is depicted and -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12">[12]</span> -the manner of depicting it are probably immaterial; but presumably -a "book" must be at least <i>ejusdem generis</i> as an ordinary -printed volume or leaflet. It must be "something in the nature -of a book."<a id="FNanchor_24" href="#Footnote_24" class="fnanchor">[24]</a> Thus although copies in ordinary manuscript<a id="FNanchor_25" href="#Footnote_25" class="fnanchor">[25]</a> -or even engraved on thin slips of ivory would be in "book" form, -an epitaph on a tombstone probably would not.</p> - -<p>The meaning of the words "separately published" in -section 2 is by no means clear. They do not mean that the -matter in which copyright is claimed must be issued physically -separate from any non-copyright literary matter. In the -statute of Anne the words "separately published" are not used -in the definition of a book, but it was nevertheless argued that -a "book" must be entirely the original work of the author and -not bound up with other matter. In <i>Cary</i> v. <i>Longman</i> Lord -Kenyon rejected such an argument. In giving judgment he -said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The courts of justice have long been labouring under an error if an -author have no copyright in any part of a work unless he have an exclusive -right to the whole book."<a id="FNanchor_26" href="#Footnote_26" class="fnanchor">[26]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>Under the statute of Victoria parts of a book bound up -with non-copyright matter have frequently been protected; -notes to non-copyright works,<a id="FNanchor_27" href="#Footnote_27" class="fnanchor">[27]</a> illustrations to non-copyright -works,<a id="FNanchor_28" href="#Footnote_28" class="fnanchor">[28]</a> a small portion of a serial story,<a id="FNanchor_29" href="#Footnote_29" class="fnanchor">[29]</a> a small part of a time -table,<a id="FNanchor_30" href="#Footnote_30" class="fnanchor">[30]</a> have all been protected. Clearly therefore a person -may have copyright in a book although he has not copyright in -every part of it.<a id="FNanchor_31" href="#Footnote_31" class="fnanchor">[31]</a></p> - -<p><i>In Johnson</i> v. <i>Newnes</i><a id="FNanchor_32" href="#Footnote_32" class="fnanchor">[32]</a> Romer, J., takes the view that "separately" -published means clearly distinguishable. He says:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Now in my opinion if you find in a volume separate parts, and distinguished -or perfectly distinguishable from the other parts, and the -volume is published, each part that is separate and clearly distinguished in -the volume itself is separately published within the meaning of section 2."</p></blockquote> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_13">[13]</span></p> - -<p>If we accept this as correct we exclude the case of a -revised edition of an old work, the corrections and additions -to which forming the new work are not clearly distinguishable -from the old. I am inclined to think that the -real explanation and meaning of "separately published" is -that it does not apply to "volume, part, or division of a volume" -at all, but only to "sheet of letterpress, sheet of music, map, -chart, or plan" which are to be protected, even although they -are "separately published," <i>i. e.</i> not bound up into a volume. -It was no doubt inserted as declaratory of the case law under -the statute of Anne, which laid down that a single printed sheet -was a "book" within the meaning of the Act.</p> - -<p>II. <i>Literary Matter.</i>—No literary merit or great labour is -required to be shown. Lord Halsbury, L. C., in <i>Walter</i> v. <i>Lane</i>,<a id="FNanchor_33" href="#Footnote_33" class="fnanchor">[33]</a> -referring to the verbatim reports of Lord Rosebery's speeches -which were the subject-matter of that action, said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Although I think in these compositions (<i>i. e.</i> the work of the stenographer) -there is literary merit and intellectual labour, yet the statute -seems to me to require neither—nor originality either in thought or -language ... the right in my view is given by the statute to the first -producer of a book, whether that book be wise or foolish, accurate or -inaccurate, of literary merit, or of no merit whatever."<a id="FNanchor_34" href="#Footnote_34" class="fnanchor">[34]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>In many of the cases great stress was laid in argument -at the bar on the preamble of the Copyright Act, 5 & 6 -Vict. c. 45. The preamble runs as follows:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Whereas it is expedient to amend the law relating to copyright, and -to afford greater encouragement to the production of literary works of -lasting benefit to the world...."</p></blockquote> - -<p>From this it is argued that the Act intends to protect only -those works which are likely to prove a substantial addition to -the world's literature.

In -1786 an injunction was granted to restrain the piracy of -"Paterson's Road-Book."<a id="FNanchor_69" href="#Footnote_69" class="fnanchor">[69]</a> Lord Chancellor Loughborough -in his judgment said that a book in order to acquire copyright -did not require to be an operation of the mind like the "Essay -on Human Understanding." There might be copyright even -although the subject-matter lay <i>in medio</i>, so that every man -with eyes could trace it, and the whole merit of the work -depended upon the accuracy of the observation. In 1776 the -Court of Session in Scotland protected a "Traveller's Pocket-Book," -which contained nothing but a mere list of stages and -their distances.<a id="FNanchor_70" href="#Footnote_70" class="fnanchor">[70]</a> The compiler of such a work may arrive at -the same, or nearly the same, result as some other compiler -working over the same country, but if each has made his own -compilation, "counting the milestones for himself,"<a id="FNanchor_71" href="#Footnote_71" class="fnanchor">[71]</a> he will -have copyright and can prevent any one else from infringing -such copyright.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">Directories.</div> - -<p>Directories<a id="FNanchor_72" href="#Footnote_72" class="fnanchor">[72]</a> soon followed road-books in their claim for -protection.

This decision was followed by Lord -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_17">[17]</span> -Chancellor Eldon in 1809 in the case of "A Court Calendar."<a id="FNanchor_74" href="#Footnote_74" class="fnanchor">[74]</a> -In 1861 a street directory of Birmingham was protected,<a id="FNanchor_75" href="#Footnote_75" class="fnanchor">[75]</a> and -in 1866 "Kelly's Post Office London Directory."<a id="FNanchor_76" href="#Footnote_76" class="fnanchor">[76]</a> In this last-mentioned -case it was suggested in defence that the various -residents had given their names for public use, and that therefore -any one could copy them; this contention, however, was -rejected, and it was held that the information contained in a -directory was similar to that in a road-book or map; it was -open to all mankind, but that he who collected and described -it was entitled to prevent any one else from taking the results of -his labours. In <i>Morris</i> v. <i>Ashbee</i>,<a id="FNanchor_77" href="#Footnote_77" class="fnanchor">[77]</a> a trade directory, called -"The Business Directory of London," was protected. This -work contained the names and occupations of merchants and -traders carrying on business in or about London. Those -traders who paid the proprietor of the directory one shilling -annually were entitled to have their names printed in capital -letters, and a further payment entitled them to "extra lines" -descriptive of their vocations. The defendants took from this -work the names in capital letters and the "extra lines," -and contended that they were entitled to do so; but it was held -that the payment by the several persons whose names were -inserted had not the effect of making the names and descriptions -when inserted common property, and that as the -plaintiff had incurred the labour and expense of getting the -necessary information and arranging it, he was entitled to -protection.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">Trade -Directory.</div> - -<div class="sidenote">Sheet of -Advertisements.</div> - -<p>In <i>Lamb</i> v. <i>Evans</i><a id="FNanchor_78" href="#Footnote_78" class="fnanchor">[78]</a> the defendants had copied extensively -from a trade directory. The directory consisted of a list of -tradesmen in various localities. In some cases their names and -addresses only were entered, and in others more elaborate -advertisements containing descriptions of articles in which -the advertiser dealt. The entries in the directory were classified -under headings, giving short descriptions of the particular -trades; each separate heading was arranged so that the proper -catch-words occurred first in alphabetical order, and each -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_18">[18]</span> -heading was repeated in three other languages after the -English heading. The Court of Appeal held that although -the plaintiffs had no copyright in each individual entry, they -had copyright at least in the headings. They were the result -of literary labour both as regards the composition of the -headings themselves and their collocation and concatenation -in the book.<a id="FNanchor_79" href="#Footnote_79" class="fnanchor">[79]</a> Their Lordships were also of opinion, although -they said it was unnecessary to decide the question, that there -was copyright in the mass of advertisements as collected and -arranged. Lindley, L. J., said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"I do not see myself the difficulty in the publishers having a copyright -in a sheet of advertisements. I do see a difficulty in his having a -copyright in one advertisement, because, as Mr. Justice Chitty pointed -out, that might prevent the advertiser from republishing his advertisements -in another paper, which is absurd. But to say that it follows from that -that the proprietor, say of the <i>Times</i>, has no copyright in a sheet of -advertisements so that he cannot restrain anybody from copying that -sheet appears to me a very different proposition."<a id="FNanchor_80" href="#Footnote_80" class="fnanchor">[80]</a></p></blockquote> - -<div class="sidenote">Catalogues.</div> - -<p>Tradesmen's catalogues, consisting of lists descriptive or -otherwise of the articles in which they deal, have been often -attacked as being devoid of literary merit. In <i>Hotten</i> v. <i>Arthur</i><a id="FNanchor_81" href="#Footnote_81" class="fnanchor">[81]</a> -the plaintiff's copyright in a descriptive catalogue of old books -which he had in stock was challenged. This catalogue was -not a mere list of the books by name, but contained short -notices of the contents and general nature of the various -volumes. Page Wood, V. C., found no difficulty in deciding -that such a catalogue was the subject of copyright, notwithstanding -that the catalogues were for the purpose of advertising -the plaintiff's stock-in-trade, and were not themselves -offered for sale. In <i>Cobbett</i> v. <i>Woodward</i><a id="FNanchor_82" href="#Footnote_82" class="fnanchor">[82]</a> the doctrine laid -down by Page Wood, V. C., received a check. In that case -the plaintiff had published a catalogue containing numerous -engravings and illustrations of designs and articles of furniture -which were sold by his firm. Lord Romilly, M. R., refused -to grant an injunction against a rival tradesman who, in a -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_19">[19]</span> -similar publication, appropriated at least fifty of the plaintiff's -illustrations, and in his judgment he said:</p> - -<div class="sidenote">Advertisements.</div> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"But at the last it always comes round to this, that there is no copyright -in an advertisement. If you copy the advertisement of another, -you do him no wrong, unless in doing so you lead the public to believe -that you sell the articles of the person whose advertisement you copy."<a id="FNanchor_83" href="#Footnote_83" class="fnanchor">[83]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>The next case in which this question came before the Courts -was <i>Grace</i> v. <i>Newman</i>.<a id="FNanchor_84" href="#Footnote_84" class="fnanchor">[84]</a> The book infringed was a volume -containing lithographic sketches of monumental designs, and -a little letterpress. The sole object of the book was to serve -as an advertisement in the plaintiff's business of "Cemetery -Stone and Marble Mason." Hall, V. C., granted an injunction, -evading <i>Cobbett</i> v. <i>Woodward</i><a id="FNanchor_85" href="#Footnote_85" class="fnanchor">[85]</a> and following <i>Hotten</i> v. -<i>Arthur</i>.<a id="FNanchor_86" href="#Footnote_86" class="fnanchor">[86]</a> In 1882 <i>Cobbett</i> v. <i>Woodward</i><a id="FNanchor_87" href="#Footnote_87" class="fnanchor">[87]</a> was expressly overruled -in the Court of Appeal in the case of <i>Maple & Co.</i> v. -<i>Junior Army and Navy Stores</i>.<a id="FNanchor_88" href="#Footnote_88" class="fnanchor">[88]</a> The plaintiffs published an -illustrated catalogue consisting almost entirely of engravings -of furniture with short descriptions and prices. The catalogue -was prepared by selecting articles of furniture which were -drawn by artists in their employment and then engraved. -The Court of Appeal sustaining the opinion of Hall, V.

The learned judge strongly -negatived the contention that a tradesman's catalogue would -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_20">[20]</span> -only be protected when, as in <i>Hotten</i> v. <i>Arthur</i>,<a id="FNanchor_93" href="#Footnote_93" class="fnanchor">[93]</a> some amount -of skill or literary merit was shown. He said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"A distinction is made between copyright in a large catalogue by a -clever author which gives a great deal of information, and is interesting -to persons who read it, and a catalogue like the plaintiffs, which is -nothing whatever but a simple list of certain articles described by their -common names, which every one is entitled to use with respect to them -with the addition of the prices at which they are sold....

The pursuer's book consisted -of a monthly penny railway time table, published in Perth. -It was compiled from the various railway companies' time -tables. Some of these were taken verbatim and some were -abridged by the smaller stations being omitted, and to the whole -was added a list of convenient circular tours around Perth -compiled by the pursuer. The defender in compiling a rival -time table, copied many of these tables and all of the circular -tours from the pursuer's book, either literally or with colourable -differences only. As regards the time tables the House -of Lords sustained the judgment of the Inner House in refusing -an interdict. The mere publication, they said, in any particular -order of the time tables which are to be found in railway -guides and the publications of the different railway companies, -could not be claimed as a subject-matter of copyright. In -dealing with the abridged time tables Lord Herschell, L.

The real truth is that although it is not to be disputed -that there may be copyright in a compilation or abstract involving independent -labour, yet when you come to such a subject-matter as that with -which we are dealing, it ought to be clearly established that, looking at -these tables as a whole, there has been a substantial appropriation by the -one party of the independent labour of the other before any proceeding -on the ground of copyright can be justified."</p></blockquote> - -<p>As regards the circular tours the House of Lords reversed -the judgment of the Court of Session and granted an interdict. -The Lord Chancellor said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It appears to me the only part of the work which can be said to -indicate any considerable amount of independent labour and be entitled -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_23">[23]</span> -to be regarded as an original work....

In <i>Black</i> v. <i>Murray & Son</i><a id="FNanchor_128" href="#Footnote_128" class="fnanchor">[128]</a> the notes -in Lockhart's edition of Scott's "Border Minstrelsy" were -protected, the copyright in the original edition of the "Border -Minstrelsy" having expired. Lord President Inglis, in the -course of a long and elaborate judgment, said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Questions of great nicety and difficulty may arise as to how far a -new edition of a work is a proper subject of copyright at all; but that -must always depend upon circumstances. A new edition of a book -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_27">[27]</span> -may be a mere reprint of an old edition, and plainly that would not -entitle the author to a new term of copyright running from the date of -the new edition. On the other hand, the new edition of a book may -be so enlarged and improved as to constitute in reality a new work, -and that just as clearly will entitle the author to a copyright running -from the date of the new edition.... That there may be copyright -in the notes, even when the book is not under the protection of copyright, -is quite a fixed principle in the law, and most desirably so. There -is no doubt that the compilation of good notes to a standard work is -a task worthy of the highest literary talents and reputation.... Of the -200 notes the defender's counsel tells us that 15 only consist of original -matter, while the remaining 185 are quotations from other books and -authors. Now this seemed to be considered to be a sort of disparagement -of the value of the notes, in which I cannot at all agree.... -The quotations are, in many places, most apposite, and highly illustrative -of the text, and exceedingly interesting to the reader, and certainly -the selection and application of such quotations from other books may -exercise as high literary faculties as the composition of original matter."</p></blockquote> - -<p>If a new edition is a mere reprint of what has been published -in "book" form before, it is obvious that no new or -independent copyright can be claimed in it.<a id="FNanchor_129" href="#Footnote_129" class="fnanchor">[129]</a> So also if -there are only slight corrections, verbal alterations, and the -like. Lord Mackenzie, in the Scotch case of <i>Hedderwick</i> v. -<i>Griffin</i>,<a id="FNanchor_130" href="#Footnote_130" class="fnanchor">[130]</a> said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"I doubt very much if there can be right of literary property in the -exclusion from an edition of the works of any author of articles not truly -written or published by that author, or in the correction of accidental -errors, or in the mere order and titles of articles which seem to be all, -or nearly all, that can be claimed by the pursuers in this case."<a id="FNanchor_131" href="#Footnote_131" class="fnanchor">[131]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>The publication of an old work with an index not previously -published would undoubtedly be copyright as to the -index.<a id="FNanchor_132" href="#Footnote_132" class="fnanchor">[132]</a></p> - -<p>In <i>Black</i> v. <i>Murray</i><a id="FNanchor_133" href="#Footnote_133" class="fnanchor">[133]</a> Lord Deas was of opinion that the -alteration of a single word in a poem was sufficient to give a -new edition an independent copyright, inasmuch as the -alteration was very important and entirely altered the meaning -of the line in which it was used. The other judges, however, -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_28">[28]</span> -did not altogether concur in Lord Deas' opinion; and it -would seem that his lordship stretched the law as to new -editions too far.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">Reports.</div> - -<div class="sidenote">Law Reports.</div> - -<p>The question whether a verbatim report of oral proceedings -is a "book" within the meaning of the Copyright Acts -was long a moot question. That there might be copyright -in law reports and similar matter, in so far as they consisted -of a summary of the proceedings in the author's own language, -was early recognised. In <i>Butterworth</i> v. <i>Robinson</i><a id="FNanchor_134" href="#Footnote_134" class="fnanchor">[134]</a> the "Term -Reports"; in <i>Sweet</i> v. <i>Shaw</i>,<a id="FNanchor_135" href="#Footnote_135" class="fnanchor">[135]</a> Meeson and Welsby's reports, and -others; and in <i>Sweet</i> v. <i>Maughan</i><a id="FNanchor_136" href="#Footnote_136" class="fnanchor">[136]</a> the reports in the "Jurist" -were protected; but it does not appear in the reports of these -cases whether any copyright was claimed in the verbatim -reports of the judgment of the Court. In <i>Saunders</i> v. <i>Smith</i><a id="FNanchor_137" href="#Footnote_137" class="fnanchor">[137]</a> -Lord Cottenham, L. C., refused an injunction against "Smith's -Leading Cases" on equitable grounds, but said he would not -decide the legal question as to whether that publication infringed -the copyright in the "Term Reports" and others. -In <i>Sweet</i> v. <i>Benning</i><a id="FNanchor_138" href="#Footnote_138" class="fnanchor">[138]</a> the defendants published a "Monthly -Digest" into which were copied numerous head notes of cases -taken bodily from the "Jurist." The Court held that these -head notes were copyright, and that the defendant's work was -an infringement.</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The head note or the side or marginal note of a report is a thing -upon which much skill and exercise of thought are required to express in -clear and concise language the principle of law to be deduced from the -decision to which it is prefixed, or the facts and circumstances which -bring the case in hand within some principle or rule of law or of -practice."<a id="FNanchor_139" href="#Footnote_139" class="fnanchor">[139]</a></p></blockquote> - -<div class="sidenote">Verbatim -Reports.</div> - -<p>So far, therefore, as appears from the reports of these cases -our Courts had only recognised copyright in the matter of -reports to the extent to which that matter was the composition -of the author, only, in short, when it was a description in his -own language of what had taken place. The American Courts -had held<a id="FNanchor_140" href="#Footnote_140" class="fnanchor">[140]</a> that there was no copyright in the verbatim report -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_29">[29]</span> -of a judgment of the Court, but their decisions were based to a -large extent on the ground of public policy. The judgments of -the Court, they said, were published to the whole of the people -of the United States, and no individual could acquire a -monopoly with respect to them. <i>Walter</i> v. <i>Lane</i><a id="FNanchor_141" href="#Footnote_141" class="fnanchor">[141]</a> has to a large -extent cleared up the doubtful state of our law as regards -reports, but it cannot be said that it has done so entirely. -<i>Walter</i> v. <i>Lane</i><a id="FNanchor_142" href="#Footnote_142" class="fnanchor">[142]</a> decides that a reporter can have copyright in a -verbatim report of the oral utterances of another from whom -he derives no title. In that case certain reporters of the <i>Times</i> -were present at various meetings at which Lord Rosebery -made speeches. These speeches were taken down in shorthand -and appeared in the <i>Times</i> the following morning, reproducing -as nearly as possible verbatim the words which Lord -Rosebery had spoken. Lane, a publisher, subsequently published -a book entitled "Appreciations and Addresses: Lord -Rosebery," and purporting to be a collection of some of Lord -Rosebery's speeches. Five of the speeches in this book were taken -from the reports in the <i>Times</i>, as was admitted by the defendant, -substantially verbatim. The House of Lords reversing the -judgment of the Court of Appeal and restoring the judgment of -North, J., held that the reports in the <i>Times</i> were copyright, -and that the reporters' assignees, the proprietors of the <i>Times</i>, -were the owners of the copyright. Lord Chancellor Halsbury -in his judgment said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"My Lords, I should very much regret it if I were compelled to come -to the conclusion that the state of the law permitted one man to make -profit and to appropriate to himself the labour, skill, and capital of another. -And it is not denied that in this case the defendant seeks to appropriate -to himself what has been produced by the skill, labour, and capital of -others. In the view I take of this case I think the law is strong enough -to restrain what to my mind would be a grievous injustice.... The -speeches and the sheets of letterpress in which they were contained were -books first published in this country; and I confess, upon looking at the -definition and the right conferred, I am wholly unable to discern why -they are not protected by the statute from being pirated by unauthorised -persons. The sole ground, as I understand the judgment of the Court -of Appeal, is that in their judgment the producer of a written speech, -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_30">[30]</span> -unless he is the original speaker, cannot be an 'author' within the -meaning of the Act. My Lords, it seems to me that this argument is -based upon too narrow and misleading a use of the word 'author.'... -The producer of this written composition is, to my mind, the person who -is the author of the book within the meaning of the statute.... I do -not find the word 'original' in the statute, or any word which imparts it -as a condition precedent, or makes originality of thought or idea necessary -to the right."<a id="FNanchor_143" href="#Footnote_143" class="fnanchor">[143]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>We must be careful not to carry the doctrine of <i>Walter</i> v. -<i>Lane</i><a id="FNanchor_144" href="#Footnote_144" class="fnanchor">[144]</a> further than the actual decision warrants. It should be -noticed, for instance, that the essence of the case is that the -reporter was entitled to copyright, because it was he who -first reduced to "book" form the literary composition contained -in Lord Rosebery's speeches. If, therefore, Lord Rosebery had, -before delivering his speeches, done as some statesmen and many -clergymen do, <i>i. e.</i>, reduced them to writing, the reporter would -probably not have had copyright, since his report would then have -been a mere copy of the speaker's original manuscript, a very -different thing from being the first manuscript.<a id="FNanchor_145" href="#Footnote_145" class="fnanchor">[145]</a> Again, it must -be noticed that Lord Rosebery claimed no proprietary right in -his speeches. It was admitted by counsel that he had freely -abandoned his words to the world so that any one might make -of them what use he pleased. Lord Rosebery might have -secured a right in his own speeches if he had cared to do so. -He might have delivered them to a limited audience<a id="FNanchor_146" href="#Footnote_146" class="fnanchor">[146]</a> under an -implied contract that those who heard his speeches should -make no other use of them except by listening to them and -benefiting by the entertainment and general information conveyed. -Possibly he might also have secured a statutory copyright -in them as lectures by giving notice in writing two days before -delivering the same to two justices living within four miles of -the place of delivery.<a id="FNanchor_147" href="#Footnote_147" class="fnanchor">[147]</a> If in either of these ways Lord Rosebery -had secured a proprietary right for himself it is doubtful -whether a reporter unauthorised by him could have acquired -copyright in his report. The report would have been an -infringement of Lord Rosebery's rights, but the reporter might -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_31">[31]</span> -nevertheless be held to have a copyright against the rest of -the world. It should also be noticed in connexion with this -case that it was expressly stated by the judges in the House of -Lords that any number of reporters could make a report of -the same speech, and each would have a separate copyright. -In <i>Walter</i> v. <i>Lane</i><a id="FNanchor_148" href="#Footnote_148" class="fnanchor">[148]</a> the defendant admitted that he took his -book from the <i>Times'</i> report. It is obvious, however, that if a -speech were reported in, say, six newspapers, any one could -reprint it, and by careful correction of the parts in which the -reports varied baffle any one of the newspaper proprietors in -an attempt to prove that the speech was taken from his newspaper. -Another question with regard to verbatim reports, -which is not necessarily covered by <i>Walter</i> v. <i>Lane</i>,<a id="FNanchor_149" href="#Footnote_149" class="fnanchor">[149]</a> is in -reference to verbatim reports of judgments in the Courts. -Will the American doctrine be adopted that it is against public -policy that there should be any monopoly in them?<a id="FNanchor_150" href="#Footnote_150" class="fnanchor">[150]</a></p> - -<div class="sidenote">Mechanical -Devices.</div> - -<div class="sidenote">Cricket -Scoring -Card.</div> - -<p>The law of copyright does not protect anything in the -nature of a mechanical device, except in so far as apart from -any mechanical application it conveys ideas or information -to the person reading it.

Malins, V. C., held -that such a thing was not a book within the Act, and characterised -it as absurd to contend that a particular mode of ruling -a book constituted an object for a copyright.<a id="FNanchor_152" href="#Footnote_152" class="fnanchor">[152]</a></p> - -<div class="sidenote">Shadow -Trick.</div> - -<div class="sidenote">Barometer -Face.</div> - -<p>In <i>Cable</i> v. <i>Mark</i>,<a id="FNanchor_153" href="#Footnote_153" class="fnanchor">[153]</a> Bacon, V. C., refused to protect under the -Literary Act "The Christograph—the Christian's Puzzle: suitable -for all sects and denominations." This consisted of an -envelope on which the above title was inscribed. Inside the -envelope was a card perforated in such a way that when held -up in a strong light it threw upon the wall a shadow which was -supposed to represent the picture "Ecce Homo." The Vice-Chancellor -in his judgment described it as a mere child's trick -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_32">[32]</span> -and nothing else. The face of a barometer was held by Chitty, J., -in <i>Davis</i> v. <i>Comitti</i><a id="FNanchor_154" href="#Footnote_154" class="fnanchor">[154]</a> not to be a book. It consisted of a circular -card on which were printed various words such as "set fair," -"high winds," &c., and on which the hands of the barometer -moved. The learned judge said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Separated from the instrument it was not intended to have and -has no use or meaning whatever. Regarded as a card apart from -the instrument it not only foretells nothing, but tells nothing. By -reading the printed matter on the card alone, no intelligible proposition -is arrived at."</p></blockquote> - -<div class="sidenote">Sleeve -Chart.</div> - -<p>Protection was claimed in <i>Hollinrake</i> v. <i>Truswell</i><a id="FNanchor_155" href="#Footnote_155" class="fnanchor">[155]</a> for a cardboard -pattern sleeve called the "Cosmopolitan Sleeve Chart." -It consisted of a piece of cardboard cut to suitable shape and -size and marked with figures and directions, such as "measure -round the thick part of the arm," and it was intended to be -used for the purpose of measuring and cutting out sleeves. -The Court of Appeal reversed the judgment of Wright, J., and -dismissed the action. Lord Herschell said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The object of the Copyright Act was to prevent any one publishing -a copy of the particular form of expression in which an author conveyed -ideas or information to the world.

If he were to commit to memory the contents of the book -or the information disclosed by the map or chart, he would be as much in -possession of the author's ideas or information as if the book, map, or -chart were physically in his hands. But this is not the case with the -words or figures upon the sleeve chart. They are intended to be used, -and can only be used in connection with that upon which they are inscribed.... -I think it clear, therefore, that what the plaintiff has sought -to protect under the Act for the protection of literary productions is not a -literary production, but an apparatus for the use of which certain words -and figures must necessarily be inscribed upon it."<a id="FNanchor_156" href="#Footnote_156" class="fnanchor">[156]</a></p></blockquote> - -<div class="sidenote">Railway -Ticket.</div> - -<p>In a Canadian case a railway ticket containing the names -of stations on the line and dates so arranged that when punched -it indicated where the holder was entitled to travel, was refused -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_33">[33]</span> -protection.

The plate was not in any -way physically connected with the rest of the publication, but -it was illustrative of an article in the journal, and a copy was -given to every purchaser. Stirling, J., held that it must be -protected as part of the book. If a plate or picture has been -previously published in separate form, without complying with -the provisions of the Engravings Acts, it will not subsequently -receive protection by reason of its incorporation into a volume.<a id="FNanchor_168" href="#Footnote_168" class="fnanchor">[168]</a> -In <i>Strong</i> v. <i>Worskett</i><a id="FNanchor_169" href="#Footnote_169" class="fnanchor">[169]</a> a magazine was before publication -advertised by means of illustrated posters. The same illustration -as appeared on the posters was afterwards reproduced -in the magazine. It was held that it could not be protected -as part of the magazine. The result of these decisions appears -to be that an artistic work will be protected under the Literary -Copyright Act, 1842, if it is bound up with other artistic works -in the form of a volume, or if it is published in connexion -with letterpress. The picture on a Christmas card on which -there are also verses, would, it is submitted, be protected -as a book, and, it would seem, whether or not the verses were -copyright, and whether or not (but this is more doubtful) the -picture was in any way illustrative of the verses. It is also -submitted that an engraving published in a magazine without -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_36">[36]</span> -any relation to the letterpress, except that of physical connexion, -would be protected as part of the book; but an engraving -or print which had neither any relation to the letterpress nor -physical connexion would probably not be protected even -although issued gratis with every copy of the magazine.</p> - -<p>It need hardly be said that anonymous works are entitled -to copyright.

After -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_37">[37]</span> -publication his right to protection depends solely upon the -statute. Publication must be looked at from two points of view—divestitive, -<i>i. e.</i> as taking away the author's common law -right; and investitive, <i>i. e.</i> as clothing him with the statutory -right.</p> - -<p><b>Divestitive Publication.</b>—If a literary work is communicated -to the public without restriction, the common law right of -the author terminates. This may be done orally or by written or -printed manuscript. Either kind of communication, however, -may be so limited as not to amount to a publication. A -drama or musical work is not published by being publicly -performed in a theatre or concert room,<a id="FNanchor_173" href="#Footnote_173" class="fnanchor">[173]</a> since the communication -is limited to those who have paid their price for -admission, and they are admitted under an implied contract -that they will not make any use of what they hear except for -their own entertainment and instruction. The same applies to -lectures delivered at a University<a id="FNanchor_174" href="#Footnote_174" class="fnanchor">[174]</a> or by a private lecturer.<a id="FNanchor_175" href="#Footnote_175" class="fnanchor">[175]</a> The -question as to when a public speaker or preacher publishes the -speech or sermon which he delivers is one of extreme difficulty, -and depends on the relation of the speaker to his audience.<a id="FNanchor_176" href="#Footnote_176" class="fnanchor">[176]</a> -If a literary composition is orally communicated in a place to -which all have admission as of right, or to which all are admitted -without distinction, and where there are no circumstances -from which a contractual relationship between the speaker and -his audience can be inferred, the matter so communicated will -be abandoned to the public to make what use of it they please. -Similarly communication by means of manuscript or print may -be limited or unlimited. Private distribution of copies of a -book is not publication, because the essence of publication is -that the matter must be available to all comers and not only -to a class;<a id="FNanchor_177" href="#Footnote_177" class="fnanchor">[177]</a> but the issue of a book to subscribers only would -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_38">[38]</span> -be publication if the subscription list was open to the public at -large, and even although the number of copies available was -very small. In one case<a id="FNanchor_178" href="#Footnote_178" class="fnanchor">[178]</a> the words of a song were held to be -published by being printed on a music-hall programme and -distributed in the streets as an advertisement. Exhibition in a -public place without distribution of copies would undoubtedly -be divestitive publication. Divestitive publication must be -with the consent of the proprietor; an unlicensed publication -would merely be an infringement of his rights.</p> - -<p><b>Investitive Publication.</b>—Publication vests the statutory -right of copyright, but a publication which divests the common -law right does not necessarily invest the statutory right. An -investitive publication is of necessity also a divestitive publication, -but not <i>vice versâ</i>. The principal distinction is that an -investitive publication must be a publication of a book, while a -divestitive publication is a publication of the literary composition -which is or may be contained in a book. Thus the -delivery of a lecture does not vest copyright, although under -certain circumstances it may divest the common law right. -The book itself must be given to the public, and not merely -the contents, in order to secure copyright. It has been suggested -that a book will not be published within the meaning of -the Copyright Act unless it is also printed. There is certainly -some colour for this suggestion. The Act 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 -gives protection to all books which are "published" without -any express restriction to printed books. It seems to be -assumed, however, throughout the Act that a book when published -must necessarily be in print. For instance, section 6 -requires "That a printed copy ... shall be delivered at the -British Museum." In section 11 again, where provision is -made for registration, it is not contemplated that a book in -which there is copyright could be in manuscript, although the -section makes express provision for the registration of manuscript -dramatic and musical pieces, in respect of performing -right. There is no authority on this point. In <i>White</i> v. <i>Geroch</i><a id="FNanchor_179" href="#Footnote_179" class="fnanchor">[179]</a> -it was said that publication of a musical piece in manuscript -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_39">[39]</span> -vested the statutory copyright; but this was under the statute -of Anne, which seems expressly to contemplate publication in -manuscript which 5 & 6 Vict. certainly does not. In <i>Boucicault</i> -v. <i>Chatterton</i><a id="FNanchor_180" href="#Footnote_180" class="fnanchor">[180]</a> James, L. J., says: "a book is published by -being printed and issued to the public;" but this was said -only in illustration of the point he was then making, viz. -that publication does not necessarily mean the same thing -in dealing with copyright as it does in dealing with performing -right. On the whole, although the point is extremely -doubtful, I am of opinion that printing is not required. -Suppose an illuminated hand-made book, fifty copies -put on the market, is that to be denied copyright? If it is, the -result seems to be that it is unprotected from piracy, since the -common law right terminates with unconditional publication. -Another point on publication has been raised but not decided, -viz.: Must there be a distribution of copies to the public, or -will it be sufficient if one or more copies are made accessible -to the public; for instance, by deposit of a copy at the British -Museum or in other public libraries. Sir James Stephen, in his -Digest appended to the "Report of the Copyright Commission, -1878," Art. 4, says: "publication ... means in reference to -books, publication for sale;" and James, L. J., as cited above, -suggests that there must be an "issuing to the public." On the -other hand, the disjunctive use of the terms "published" and -"offered for sale " in section 6 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 is rather in -favour of the view that there can be investitive publication -without "offering for sale." Analogy from other branches of -the law is unreliable; the exhibition of a picture in a public -gallery is publication of the picture,<a id="FNanchor_181" href="#Footnote_181" class="fnanchor">[181]</a> but that is the only way in -which a picture can be published. On the whole, I think that -if the public have free and unrestricted access to a book there -will be publication, even although they may not be able to -procure copies for themselves. Something might depend on -the rules of a library where the book was deposited.</p> - -<p>There is a common practice among publishers to accept as -proof of first publication a receipt given on the sale of a single -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_40">[40]</span> -copy of the book. No doubt this is <i>primâ facie</i> proof of publication, -but the sale of a single copy does not necessarily imply -publication, and it would be open to any one disputing the -date of the publication to say that the sale was collusive, and -that the book was not at that time, as it must be in order to -constitute publication, offered to the public. It would be sufficient -publication for the publisher to place copies, or even one -copy of the book, in his window for sale. The record in his -books should be sufficient evidence of the date if it is disputed.</p> - -<p>In a case<a id="FNanchor_182" href="#Footnote_182" class="fnanchor">[182]</a> under the statute of Anne it was held that publication -must be by or on behalf of the proprietor, or at least -with the view of conferring copyright upon him. The publication -in that case was made by an oral assignee to whom the -author had purported to convey the exclusive right of publication -in the United Kingdom. It was held that the assignee had -no copyright because there was no written assignment, and that -the author did not acquire copyright because the publication -was not on his behalf. The result seems to be that the copyright -was lost. If the principle is sound, which is extremely -doubtful, it might be applied to the case of first publication by -a licensee, unless it could be implied from the contract between -the licensor and licensee that the licensee was not acting -entirely on his own behalf, but also on behalf of his licensor -to secure copyright.</p> - -<p><b>First Publication within the British Dominions.</b>—Under the -Act of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, it was held essential that first publication -should be within the United Kingdom;<a id="FNanchor_183" href="#Footnote_183" class="fnanchor">[183]</a> but since -the International Act of 1886<a id="FNanchor_184" href="#Footnote_184" class="fnanchor">[184]</a> first publication anywhere -within the British dominions will equally secure copyright. -If a book is published simultaneously within and without the -dominions it is sufficient.<a id="FNanchor_185" href="#Footnote_185" class="fnanchor">[185]</a> Publication a day later than publication -abroad would probably lose the copyright; but if on -the same day, even although an hour or two later, it would -be deemed simultaneous. If a serial story in a periodical is -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_41">[41]</span> -being published simultaneously, say here and in the United -States, some parts may have lost their copyright by too hasty -publication in America, but this would not deprive the whole -serial of copyright if the other parts were "first published" -within the British dominions.<a id="FNanchor_186" href="#Footnote_186" class="fnanchor">[186]</a> The date on the title-page -of an American book has been held not to be conclusive -evidence of the time of publication in the United -States.<a id="FNanchor_187" href="#Footnote_187" class="fnanchor">[187]</a> It is quite immaterial where the manuscript is -written;<a id="FNanchor_188" href="#Footnote_188" class="fnanchor">[188]</a> and probably equally immaterial where the book -is printed. It has been suggested, however, that under -5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, printing within the United Kingdom was -necessary, and that now since the "International Copyright -Act, 1886," printing within the British dominions is a condition -precedent to protection. I do not think the suggestion -is of any weight. It is founded on two <i>obiter dicta</i>—one of -Lord St. Leonards in <i>Jefferys</i> v. <i>Boosey</i>,<a id="FNanchor_189" href="#Footnote_189" class="fnanchor">[189]</a> and the other of -Bayley, J., in <i>Clementi</i> v. <i>Walker</i>.<a id="FNanchor_190" href="#Footnote_190" class="fnanchor">[190]</a></p> - -<p>If a book is first published outside the British dominions -there will be no copyright<a id="FNanchor_191" href="#Footnote_191" class="fnanchor">[191]</a> in it except under the International -Statutes.<a id="FNanchor_192" href="#Footnote_192" class="fnanchor">[192]</a> Section 19 of 7 & 8 Vict. has been held to -apply to publication in all foreign countries, and not only to -those with which an international convention is in existence;<a id="FNanchor_193" href="#Footnote_193" class="fnanchor">[193]</a> -and it has been further held to apply to the works of a -British subject as well as to those of a foreigner.<a id="FNanchor_194" href="#Footnote_194" class="fnanchor">[194]</a></p> - -<p>If a dramatic or musical work is first performed abroad -before publication as a book, although that may destroy the -performing right within the British dominions, it probably -will not affect the author's right to acquire copyright by -first publication here in "book" form.

In -<i>Boosey</i> v. <i>Davidson</i><a id="FNanchor_196" href="#Footnote_196" class="fnanchor">[196]</a> there was first performance abroad, and it -was held that copyright was obtained here by first publication; -but there was no argument on section 19.</p> - -<h3><span class="smcap">Section III.—Author's Nationality.</span></h3> - -<p>It must still be considered doubtful whether or not the -author of a book must be a British subject, or at least -resident within the British dominions at the time of publication. -This point is the subject of a considerable body of -case law under the statute of Anne; but there has been no -definite and authoritative decision under the statute of Victoria. -The question was first seriously argued in the case of <i>D'Almaine</i> -v. <i>Boosey</i>,<a id="FNanchor_197" href="#Footnote_197" class="fnanchor">[197]</a> when it was decided in the Court of Exchequer that -the work of a foreigner would be entitled to protection if -first published in England by an English assignee. The next -case was <i>Bentley</i> v. <i>Foster</i>,<a id="FNanchor_198" href="#Footnote_198" class="fnanchor">[198]</a> before Shadwell, V. C., who decided -that the foreigner himself could acquire a copyright by first publication -in this country. After that there is a series of confused -and conflicting cases,<a id="FNanchor_199" href="#Footnote_199" class="fnanchor">[199]</a> terminating with the decision of <i>Jefferys</i> -v. <i>Boosey</i><a id="FNanchor_200" href="#Footnote_200" class="fnanchor">[200]</a> in the House of Lords. The plaintiff in that case -was the English assignee of the unpublished work of a non-resident -foreigner. The first publication was in England. -The judges were consulted, and of these six were in favour -of the plaintiff's right and four against it. The House of -Lords, however, were unanimous against the plaintiff's right. -They decided that the work of a non-resident foreigner could -not acquire copyright in this country.</p> - -<p>Lord Cranworth, L. C., said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The statute (8 Anne) must be construed as referring to British -authors only. <i>Primâ facie</i> the legislature of this country must be taken -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_43">[43]</span> -to make laws for its own subjects exclusively, and where, as in the statute -now under consideration, an exclusive privilege is given to a particular -class at the expense of the rest of her Majesty's subjects, the object -of giving that privilege must be taken to have been a national object -and the privileged class to be confined to a portion of that community -for the general advantage of which the enactment is made. When -I say that the legislature must <i>primâ facie</i> be taken to legislate only for -its own subjects, I must be taken to include under the word 'subjects' -all persons who are within the Queen's dominions, and who thus owe to -her a temporary allegiance. I do not doubt but that a foreigner resident -here, and composing and publishing a book here, is an author within the -meaning of the statute: he is within its words and spirit. I go further: -I think that if a foreigner having composed but not having published a -work abroad were to come to this country, and the week or day after his -arrival were to print and publish it here, he would be within the protection -of the statute."</p></blockquote> - -<p><i>Jefferys</i> v. <i>Boosey</i><a id="FNanchor_201" href="#Footnote_201" class="fnanchor">[201]</a> then definitely decided that under the -statute of Anne a foreigner, unless at the time of publication -he was resident within the jurisdiction of the crown, could -not be an author within the meaning of the Act, and therefore -neither he nor his assigns before or after publication -could acquire copyright. It would seem to follow that the -construction of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 would lead to a similar -decision. This, however, has been doubted in the House of -Lords in the case of <i>Routledge</i> v. <i>Low</i>.<a id="FNanchor_202" href="#Footnote_202" class="fnanchor">[202]</a> The actual decision -in that case went no further than holding that a foreign -author who was resident for a few days in Canada expressly -for the purpose of acquiring copyright while her book was -published in London was an author within the Act, a proposition -which had not been disputed in <i>Jefferys</i> v. <i>Boosey</i>.<a id="FNanchor_203" href="#Footnote_203" class="fnanchor">[203]</a> -Their Lordships, however, discussed the wider issue whether -even temporary residence was necessary. Lord Cairns, L. C., -and Lord Westbury were of opinion that it was not. Lord -Cairns, after pointing out that <i>Jefferys</i> v. <i>Boosey</i><a id="FNanchor_204" href="#Footnote_204" class="fnanchor">[204]</a> was a decision -under the Act of Anne, said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It was impossible not to see that the <i>ratio decidendi</i> in that case -proceeded mainly, if not exclusively, on the wording of the preamble of the -statute of Anne, and on a consideration of the general character and -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_44">[44]</span> -scope of the legislation of Great Britain at that period. The present -statute had repealed that Act, and professed to aim at affording greater -encouragement to the production of literary works of lasting benefit to the -world. And accepting this decision of the House as to the construction -of the statute of Anne, it is, I think, impossible not to see that the present -statute would be incompatible with a policy so narrow as that expressed -in the statute of Anne."<a id="FNanchor_205" href="#Footnote_205" class="fnanchor">[205]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>Lords Cranworth and Chelmsford agreed that temporary -residence within the dominions was sufficient to give a foreigner -the right to acquire copyright as a British author, and therefore -concurred in the judgment of the House. They, however, -differed strongly from the view that a non-resident -foreigner could be an author within the Act. Lord Cranworth -said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"I have no hesitation in concurring with my noble and learned friend -in thinking that the decree below was right. I find it difficult to concur -with him in the opinion that the present statute extends its protection to -all foreigners wherever they may be resident without saying that the case -of <i>Jefferys</i> v. <i>Boosey</i><a id="FNanchor_206" href="#Footnote_206" class="fnanchor">[206]</a> is not good law—a conclusion at which I should -be very unwilling to come as to any case decided in this House, more -especially as to one so elaborately considered as that of <i>Jefferys</i> v. <i>Boosey</i>.<a id="FNanchor_207" href="#Footnote_207" class="fnanchor">[207]</a> -That case, as my noble friend has pointed out, was decided not on the -construction of the Act of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, but on the statute of Queen -Anne; but I own I do not as at present advised see any difference -between the two statutes so far as relates to the subject of the residence -of foreign authors."</p></blockquote> - -<p><i>Routledge</i> v. <i>Low</i><a id="FNanchor_208" href="#Footnote_208" class="fnanchor">[208]</a> is followed as to its actual decision in -<i>Low</i> v. <i>Ward</i>;<a id="FNanchor_209" href="#Footnote_209" class="fnanchor">[209]</a> but as to the rights of a non-resident foreign -author the law remains, as left by <i>Routledge</i> v. <i>Low</i>,<a id="FNanchor_210" href="#Footnote_210" class="fnanchor">[210]</a> truly in a -most unsatisfactory state. It is difficult to escape from the -conclusion, however willingly one would, that there is really -no distinction between the application of the statute of Anne -and that of Victoria, and that, therefore, a case arising on this -point under the Act of Victoria is governed by <i>Jefferys</i> v. <i>Boosey</i>,<a id="FNanchor_211" href="#Footnote_211" class="fnanchor">[211]</a> -a decision which, if erroneous, was not so for want of -deliberate research and consideration. The general opinion, -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_45">[45]</span> -however, seems to be that Lords Cairns and Westbury were -right and Lords Cranworth and Chelmsford wrong. This view -is adopted by Stephen, J., in his digest.<a id="FNanchor_212" href="#Footnote_212" class="fnanchor">[212]</a> Mr. Scrutton is of the -same opinion, and cites the Naturalisation Act and the proviso -that copyright is personal property.<a id="FNanchor_213" href="#Footnote_213" class="fnanchor">[213]</a> Mr. Chamier does the -same.<a id="FNanchor_214" href="#Footnote_214" class="fnanchor">[214]</a> It is respectfully submitted that the provisions of the -Naturalisation Act and the indisputable fact that a foreigner -wherever resident can acquire a British copyright are entirely -beside the mark, and do not in the least help one to decide -whether the legislature is to be presumed to have applied the -Act of 5 & 6 Vict. to the works of foreign authors. The decision -that the work of a non-resident foreign author will not be -protected is in no way contrary to the provision of the Naturalisation -Act that an alien friend may acquire and hold personal -property in the same way in all respects as a British subject. -The logical conclusion from that provision is that an alien -friend as well as a British subject may acquire British copyright -wherever it exists; but it does not necessarily follow that -British copyright exists in the work of a foreign author, and -that either an alien friend or a British subject can acquire it. -After the passing of the Chace Act (1891) in the United States, -the law officers of the Crown in England were consulted by the -American law officers, and they advised that an American author -could acquire copyright in his work by simultaneous publication -in this country and America, even although he was not at -any time resident within the British dominions. Consequently -on that advice the President of the United States proclaimed -Great Britain as one of the countries which gave by their law -reciprocal rights to American authors; and English authors are -thereby entitled to acquire copyright in the United States. It -would certainly be most unsatisfactory if the law of England were -now to be declared contrary to the advice then given by our law -officers, but it cannot be said that this should influence our -Courts if their decision on the point was called for. -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_46">[46]</span></p> - -<h3><span class="smcap">Section IV.—Immoral Works.</span></h3> - -<p>Profane,<a id="FNanchor_215" href="#Footnote_215" class="fnanchor">[215]</a> indecent,<a id="FNanchor_216" href="#Footnote_216" class="fnanchor">[216]</a> seditious,<a id="FNanchor_217" href="#Footnote_217" class="fnanchor">[217]</a> and libellous<a id="FNanchor_218" href="#Footnote_218" class="fnanchor">[218]</a> books will not be -protected.

In <i>Isaacs</i> v. <i>Fiddemann</i>,<a id="FNanchor_234" href="#Footnote_234" class="fnanchor">[234]</a> -Jessel, M.

The distinction was pointed -out in <i>Trade Auxiliary</i> v. <i>Middlesborough</i>.<a id="FNanchor_238" href="#Footnote_238" class="fnanchor">[238]</a> The three several -proprietors of three periodicals had employed and paid a contributor -under section 18 on the terms that the matter contributed -should belong to these three proprietors. The matter appeared -in each of the three newspapers and each registered his own -newspaper in his own name. It was argued that the registration -was bad, since they should have been registered as joint -proprietors, but the Court of Appeal held that the registration -was good, since each had registered his "book," and section 19 -was literally complied with.</p> - -<p>A newspaper is a sheet of letterpress within the Act and must -be registered.<a id="FNanchor_239" href="#Footnote_239" class="fnanchor">[239]</a> In one case<a id="FNanchor_240" href="#Footnote_240" class="fnanchor">[240]</a> Malins, V. C., protected a newspaper -which was not registered, but that case has been -expressly overruled<a id="FNanchor_241" href="#Footnote_241" class="fnanchor">[241]</a> and is clearly unsound. No registration -is necessary other than that required by the Act of 1842. In -<i>Cate</i> v. <i>Devon</i><a id="FNanchor_242" href="#Footnote_242" class="fnanchor">[242]</a> it was contended that a newspaper would not -be protected unless it had been registered under the Newspaper -Libel Act, 1881. This contention was held erroneous, and -registration under the Act of 1842 was alone required. Similarly -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_49">[49]</span> -it is not a good defence to an action for infringement that -the publisher's name and address is not printed on the first -or last page of a book as required by 2 & 3 Vict. c. 12.<a id="FNanchor_243" href="#Footnote_243" class="fnanchor">[243]</a></p> - -<p><b>The Requisite Entry.</b>—Registration is made in the Book of -Registry which the Act enacts<a id="FNanchor_244" href="#Footnote_244" class="fnanchor">[244]</a> shall be kept at the Hall of the -Stationers' Company. The fee for registration is five shillings. -The Book of Registry must at all convenient times be open -to the inspection of any person on payment of one shilling for -every entry searched for or inspected.

Thus in -<i>Harris</i> v. <i>Smart</i><a id="FNanchor_247" href="#Footnote_247" class="fnanchor">[247]</a> the plaintiffs' book was intituled "Illustrated -Catalogue and Price List," and they registered it as "Illustrated -Book of Shop-fittings." The Court of Appeal, reversing the -decision of Mathew and Grantham, JJ., held that the objection -to the registration was fatal. When there is a clear and distinct -title, that title they held must be registered. It might be different -if a book had no title; perhaps such a book could not be registered -at all; but probably a description of the book, stating that -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_50">[50]</span> -it had no title, would be sufficient.<a id="FNanchor_248" href="#Footnote_248" class="fnanchor">[248]</a> In <i>Collingridge</i> v. <i>Emmott</i><a id="FNanchor_249" href="#Footnote_249" class="fnanchor">[249]</a> -the plaintiff's newspaper was intituled "Warehousemen and -Drapers' Trade Journal and Review of the Textile Fabric Manufacturers"; -but it was registered as "Warehousemen and Drapers' -Trade Journal: Failures and Arrangements." Kay, J., thought -that the discrepancy was fatal to the registration.</p> - -<p>It has been questioned whether in the case of a volume, a -considerable part of which, being old matter, is not entitled to -copyright, and which is published under one comprehensive -title, there must not be some indication on the book itself or on -the register that the owner does not claim copyright in the whole -work. The point has never been definitely decided. It has -been held that one who adapts new words and music to an old -air and describes himself proprietor of the whole composition is -entitled to protection;<a id="FNanchor_250" href="#Footnote_250" class="fnanchor">[250]</a> but the question raised in these cases -was whether the author was entitled to copyright at all unless he -could show that the whole was original. It should always be -remembered in questions of this kind that the purpose of -registration is not, as has frequently been suggested in argument, -to notify to an intending copyist what he may copy and what he -may not. In <i>Cate</i> v. <i>Devon</i><a id="FNanchor_251" href="#Footnote_251" class="fnanchor">[251]</a> the plaintiffs had published a -"Commercial Compendium," containing lists of bankruptcies -and bills of sale. They reprinted several copies of it under -another title, viz. "The London Association for the Protection -of Trade," and it was issued "privately and confidentially" to -that association. The defendants copied matter from the latter -issue and pleaded that it was unregistered, and therefore that -they were entitled to copy it. North, J., held that the act of the -defendants was an infringement of copyright in the "Commercial -Compendium," which was registered under that title. In his -judgment he said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It is not intended that there should always be complete registration -of the publication in which there is copyright in order that persons may -know what they may legitimately copy and what they cannot copy. The -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_51">[51]</span> -Act itself contains provisions which make that clear. It is well known -that registration is only necessary as a condition precedent to suing, and -the almost universal practice on the part of large publishers notoriously is -that they do not register until just on the eve of taking some proceeding. -Then they take care to register their copyright and sue upon it. I think, -therefore, that the contention that the defendants have not been warned -by registration of the title under which the document appears is one which -cannot be entertained."<a id="FNanchor_252" href="#Footnote_252" class="fnanchor">[252]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p><i>The Time of First Publication.</i>—This must be exactly entered -to the day of the month.

The word author is not defined in the Act, -and from time to time difficult questions have arisen as to who -is the author of a particular book within the meaning of the -Act. Difficulties have generally arisen from the fact that two or -more people have been engaged in the production of a book. -The rule appears to be that, if the literary matter is composed -by those who make the manuscript,<a id="FNanchor_320" href="#Footnote_320" class="fnanchor">[320]</a> the author is the man -from whom emanates the general conception and design, and -that although much of the detail may have been the work of -subordinate brains and hands, he is the author of the entirety, -and may sue for any infringement of it. Thus in <i>Scott</i> v. <i>Stanford</i>,<a id="FNanchor_321" href="#Footnote_321" class="fnanchor">[321]</a> -where the plaintiff compiled and published periodically -statistical returns of the London coal market, Page Wood, V. C., -in giving judgment, said that it appeared to him quite immaterial -whether the plaintiff had been assisted in the compilation by his -own clerks or by those of the Corporation. In <i>Barfield</i> v. -<i>Nicholson</i><a id="FNanchor_322" href="#Footnote_322" class="fnanchor">[322]</a> a case under the statute of Anne, Leach, V. C., said -that he was of opinion that under the statute the one who -formed the plan and embarked on the speculation of a work, -and employed various persons to compose different parts of it -adapted to their own peculiar acquirements, was the author and -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_63">[63]</span> -proprietor of the work, if not within the literal expression, at least -within the equitable meaning of the statute of Anne. In <i>Hatton</i> -v. <i>Kean</i><a id="FNanchor_323" href="#Footnote_323" class="fnanchor">[323]</a> the defendant had arranged certain of Shakespeare's -plays with adjuncts of scenery, music, dancing, &c., and employed -artists and authors to aid him in carrying his design into -effect; amongst others, the plaintiff was employed to compose -and arrange the orchestral accompaniments. The Court of -Common Pleas held that the defendant was the author of the -entire production. Erle, C. J., said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"I am of opinion that the music so composed by the direction and -under the superintendence of the defendant, and as part of the general -plan of the spectacle, must, as between him and the plaintiff, become the -property of the defendant, and that consequently the defendant has -violated no right of the plaintiff in causing it to be represented in the -manner alleged."<a id="FNanchor_324" href="#Footnote_324" class="fnanchor">[324]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>In <i>Wallerstein</i> v. <i>Herbert</i>,<a id="FNanchor_325" href="#Footnote_325" class="fnanchor">[325]</a> where the facts were similar to those -in <i>Hatton</i> v. <i>Kean</i>,<a id="FNanchor_326" href="#Footnote_326" class="fnanchor">[326]</a> that case was approved by the Court of -Queen's Bench. Cockburn, C.

It seems a strange thing to say that the -arranger of a play becomes the author of, <i>inter alia</i>, the musical -accompaniment of which, perhaps, he could not have composed -a single bar. Would, for instance, the author of a book be also -the author of illustrations which he had procured another to -draw for him? Kekewich, J., in <i>Petty</i> v. <i>Taylor</i>, thought -not.<a id="FNanchor_328" href="#Footnote_328" class="fnanchor">[328]</a></p> - -<p>The mere suggestion of a subject or idea which is then -entirely designed and executed by another does not constitute -the originator of the idea an author, even although the actual -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_64">[64]</span> -composer is his employee.<a id="FNanchor_329" href="#Footnote_329" class="fnanchor">[329]</a> In <i>Shepherd</i> v. <i>Conquest</i><a id="FNanchor_330" href="#Footnote_330" class="fnanchor">[330]</a> the -plaintiffs, proprietors of a theatre, employed a "stock author" -who, on payment of a weekly salary and travelling expenses, -composed plays for them. Under this employment the author -composed "Old Joe and Young Joe," a dramatic piece, which -he handed over to the plaintiffs, and which was produced by -them at their theatre. There was no contract or assignment -in writing, but there was an oral understanding that the plaintiffs -should have the sole right of representing the piece in -London. It was held in the Court of Common Pleas that the -plaintiffs had acquired no title under the Dramatic Copyright -Act, 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15, by reason of which they could sue an -infringement of the performing right.<a id="FNanchor_331" href="#Footnote_331" class="fnanchor">[331]</a> Jervis, C. J., delivered -the judgment of the Court:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"We do not think it necessary in the present case to express any -opinion whether, under any circumstances, the copyright in a literary -work or the right of representation can become vested <i>ab initio</i> in an -employer other than the person who has actually composed or adapted a -literary work. It is enough to say in the present case that no such effect -can be produced when the employer merely suggests the subject, and has -no share in the design or execution of the work. It appears to us an -abuse of terms to say that in such a case the employer is the author of a -work to which his mind has not contributed an idea."</p></blockquote> - -<p>There may be joint authorship of a book. To constitute -joint authorship the work must be produced by joint labour in -prosecution of a preconceived joint design. In <i>Levy</i> v. <i>Rutley</i><a id="FNanchor_332" href="#Footnote_332" class="fnanchor">[332]</a> -A wrote a play, to which subsequently B added a scene, and -made a few alterations and additions in other parts of the piece. -It was held that there was not joint authorship. Byles, J., -said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"If the piece had been originally written by A and B jointly in prosecution -of a preconcerted joint design, the two might have been said to be -the co-authors of the whole play, notwithstanding that different portions -were respectively the sole productions of either."</p></blockquote> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_65">[65]</span></p> - -<p>And Keating, J., said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"I entirely agree with my brother Byles that though it may not be -necessary that each should contribute the same amount of labour, there -must be a joint labouring in furtherance of a common design."</p></blockquote> - -<p><i>Quære</i> whether co-authors are joint owners with the right of -survivorship. In <i>Marzials</i> v. <i>Gibbons</i><a id="FNanchor_333" href="#Footnote_333" class="fnanchor">[333]</a> it was suggested that they -were, but see the decisions where co-assignees are held to be -owners in common, or part owners without the right of survivorship.<a id="FNanchor_334" href="#Footnote_334" class="fnanchor">[334]</a> -<i>Quære</i> also whether each co-author, as is the case with -each co-assignee,<a id="FNanchor_335" href="#Footnote_335" class="fnanchor">[335]</a> is entitled to sue in respect of an invasion -without the concurrence of the other co-author or co-authors.</p> - -<p>Until <i>Walter</i> v. <i>Lane</i><a id="FNanchor_336" href="#Footnote_336" class="fnanchor">[336]</a> was decided in the House of Lords, -it was a prevalent opinion that the author must be he who -actually designs and by himself or through others composes the -literary matter contained in the book. That case, however, -demonstrates that the author is the first producer of literary -matter in "book" form, <i>i. e.</i> in some permanent form from which -it can be copied by the printer's compositor, usually, but not -necessarily, manuscript. As a rule such person is also the composer -of the literary matter contained in the book, but this is not -a necessary attribute of the character of author. In <i>Walter</i> v. -<i>Lane</i><a id="FNanchor_337" href="#Footnote_337" class="fnanchor">[337]</a> Lord Rosebery had delivered without reserve of any kind -certain public speeches. They were delivered orally, not having -been previously committed to writing. On the various occasions -when they were delivered reporters from the <i>Times</i> were present, -and they took down the speeches verbatim. From these reports -they were transcribed into long hand, and published in the -<i>Times</i>. Mr. Lane, a publisher, took these speeches from the -columns of the <i>Times</i>, and without any authority from the proprietors -thereof, published them in a volume entitled "Appreciations -and Addresses, by Lord Rosebery." In this action at the -instance of the proprietors of the <i>Times</i> for the infringement of -the copyright in their reports, it was finally held in the House of -Lords, firstly, that as these reports contained literary matter published -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_66">[66]</span> -for the first time in "book" form, they were the subject of -copyright, and secondly, that the reporters were the authors within -the meaning of the Act, since they first reduced the literary -matter orally delivered by Lord Rosebery to "book" form.</p> - -<h3><span class="smcap">Section IV.—The Employer.</span></h3> - -<p><b>Under Section 18.</b>—An employer is <i>ab initio</i> entitled to the -copyright when he employs an author within the meaning of -and subject to the conditions imposed by section 18. Section -18<a id="FNanchor_338" href="#Footnote_338" class="fnanchor">[338]</a> enacts that—</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"When any publisher or other person shall before or at the time of -the passing of the Act have projected, conducted, and carried on, or shall -hereafter project, conduct, and carry on, or be the proprietor of any -encyclopædia, review, magazine, periodical work, or work published in a -series of books or parts, or any book whatsoever, and shall have employed -or shall employ any persons to compose the same in any volumes, parts, -essays, articles, or portions thereof for publication in or as part of the -same, and such works, volumes, parts, essays, articles, or portions, shall -have been or shall hereafter be composed under such employment on the -terms that the copyright therein shall belong to such proprietor, projector, -publisher, or conductor, and paid for by such proprietor, projector, publisher, -or conductor, the copyright in every such encyclopædia, review, -magazine, periodical work, and work published in a series of books or -parts, and every volume, part, essay, article, and portion so composed and -paid for shall be the property of such proprietor, projector, publisher, or -other conductor, who shall enjoy the same rights as if he were the actual -author thereof, and shall have such term of copyright therein as is given -to the authors of books by this Act; except only that in the case of essays, -articles, or portions forming part of and first published in reviews, -magazines, and other periodical works of a like nature, after the term of -twenty-eight years from the first publication thereof respectively, the right -of publishing the same in a separate form shall revert to the author for the -remainder of the term given by this Act: provided always that during the -term of twenty-eight years the said proprietor shall not publish any such -essay, article, or portion separately or singly without the consent previously -obtained of the author thereof or his assigns: provided also that nothing -herein contained shall alter or affect the right of any person who shall -have been or who shall be so employed as aforesaid to publish any such his -composition in a separate form, who by any contract, express or implied, -may have reserved or may hereafter reserve to himself such right; but -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_67">[67]</span> -every author reserving, retaining, or having such right, shall be entitled to -the copyright in such composition when published in a separate form, -according to this Act, without prejudice to the right of such proprietor, -projector, publisher, or conductor, as aforesaid."</p></blockquote> - -<p>The nature of a proprietor's rights in the articles contributed -to his periodical under section 18 is well summarised by Chitty, J., -as follows:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"This 18th section when fairly examined comes to this: the author of -a literary work is the proprietor of the copyright under the general sections -of the Act. If it is unpublished matter, probably the better term is to say -that his right is to prevent any one else from publishing. If it is published -matter, then his right is a true copyright, and it is to prevent anybody -else from multiplying copies, and that right is vested in him.... -Then comes this 18th section, the short effect of which is to transfer for -a limited period a portion of the copyright to the proprietor of the periodical -for whom the article has been composed; it being a condition that -there shall not only be a composition of the article on the terms that it -shall belong to the proprietor or publisher, but also that the sum agreed -to be paid has been paid."<a id="FNanchor_339" href="#Footnote_339" class="fnanchor">[339]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p><i>Scope of Section.</i>—In some of the earlier cases it seems to be -suggested that section 18 applies only to works of a periodical -nature.<a id="FNanchor_340" href="#Footnote_340" class="fnanchor">[340]</a> But this gives no meaning to the words "or any book -whatsoever," which surely could not be construed as including -only books <i>ejusdem generis</i> as periodicals. The first part of the -section appears to include all books if produced under the conditions -as to employment and payment there enacted.<a id="FNanchor_341" href="#Footnote_341" class="fnanchor">[341]</a> The -judgment in <i>Shepherd</i> v. <i>Conquest</i><a id="FNanchor_342" href="#Footnote_342" class="fnanchor">[342]</a> suggests that in the opinion of -the Court in that case section 18 did not apply when the performing -right in a play was claimed by the proprietors of a -theatre, the play having been produced by a "stock author" in -their employment. It is difficult to see why section 18 should -not be equally applicable to the performing right as to the copyright. -Section 20 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 provides that—</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The provisions hereinbefore enacted in respect of the property of -such copyright and of registering the same shall apply to the liberty of -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_68">[68]</span> -representing or performing any dramatic piece or musical composition as -if the same were herein expressly re-enacted and applied thereto, save and -except that the first public representation or performance of any dramatic -piece or musical composition shall be deemed equivalent in the construction -of this Act to the first publication of any book."</p></blockquote> - -<p><i>Under such Employment.</i>—The author must be "employed" -and the work must be composed "under such employment." It -appears therefore that a work or part of a work would not come -within this 18th section unless actually executed in the course of -the author's employment by the proprietor. In other words, -there must be antecedent employment.<a id="FNanchor_343" href="#Footnote_343" class="fnanchor">[343]</a> A contribution voluntarily -sent to a magazine would not, even although accepted and -paid for on the terms that the copyright should belong to the -proprietors, come under the provisions of section 18. It is submitted -that it would become the sole property of the proprietor -of the magazine for all purposes without any reservation of the -right of separate publication to the author.<a id="FNanchor_344" href="#Footnote_344" class="fnanchor">[344]</a></p> - -<p>If A employs B, who in his turn employs C, the copyright -will vest in A if B acted as a mere agent for A. Thus in -<i>Stubbs</i> v. <i>Howard</i>,<a id="FNanchor_345" href="#Footnote_345" class="fnanchor">[345]</a> Stubbs employed the Mercantile Press to -obtain the necessary information for their Gazette, and the Mercantile -Press employed P. to collect and compile. It was held that -the copyright vested <i>ab initio</i> in Stubbs under section 18. But -if A employs and pays B to do certain literary work, and B, of -his own authority, employs and pays C, D, and E to do certain -portions of it, it is doubtful whether the copyright in these -portions will vest in A under section 18. The author has been -neither employed nor paid by the proprietor of the work since B -acted not as an agent for him, but as an independent contractor.<a id="FNanchor_346" href="#Footnote_346" class="fnanchor">[346]</a> -The operation of section 18 seems to be exhausted in the first -employment.</p> - -<p>"<i>On the terms that the copyright therein shall belong to such -proprietor.</i>"—The terms may be implied from the nature of the -employment and the circumstances under which the work is -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_69">[69]</span> -composed. In <i>Sweet</i> v. <i>Benning</i><a id="FNanchor_347" href="#Footnote_347" class="fnanchor">[347]</a> various members of the bar -had furnished reports of cases to the plaintiffs, the proprietors -of the <i>Jurist</i>. The reporters selected what cases they thought fit -to report and were paid for their work. The arrangements were -entirely oral, and nothing seems to have been said about copyright. -The Court of Common Pleas held that the proprietors of -the <i>Jurist</i> became the owners of the copyright under the 18th -section. Maule, J., in support of his opinion said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"When a man employs another to write an article or to do anything -else for him, unless there is something in the surrounding circumstances -or in the course of dealing between the parties to require a different construction, -in the absence of a special agreement to the contrary, it is to be -understood that the writing or other thing is produced upon the terms -that the copyright therein shall belong to the employer."</p></blockquote> - -<p>In <i>Trade Auxiliary</i> v. <i>Middlesborough</i><a id="FNanchor_348" href="#Footnote_348" class="fnanchor">[348]</a> the proprietors of <i>Stubbs' -Weekly Gazette</i> and two other weekly papers jointly employed -on salary two men to examine the official records and extract -the particulars of bills of sale and deeds of arrangement registered -in accordance with the Acts. The information so obtained -was published in the weekly papers. It was held that the proprietors -of the respective papers became owners of the copyright -under section 18. In <i>Lamb</i> v. <i>Evans</i><a id="FNanchor_349" href="#Footnote_349" class="fnanchor">[349]</a> the plaintiff employed and -paid several persons in canvassing for advertisements and -arranging them under appropriate headings in a Trades Directory. -Lindley, L. J., in giving judgment, said he thought that—</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The burthen of proof was on the plaintiff to show that the headings -were composed upon the terms that the copyright therein should belong -to him; but the statute does not say anything about the kind of evidence -which is to be adduced for the purpose of proving that an article has been -composed on these terms.... If there is no express agreement the question -is, what is the inference to be drawn from the circumstances of the -case. In drawing the inference regard must be had to the nature of the -articles which are here merely the headings to groups of advertisements -with translations, and the view expressed by Mr. Justice Maule in <i>Sweet</i> v. -<i>Benning</i><a id="FNanchor_350" href="#Footnote_350" class="fnanchor">[350]</a> may be very safely acted upon, viz. that <i>primâ facie</i> at all events -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_70">[70]</span> -you will infer, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, from the fact of -employment and payment that one of the terms was that the copyright -should belong to the employer. That is not a necessary inference; but -in a case of this sort, where any other inference would be unbusinesslike, -I should not hesitate myself to draw that inference."</p></blockquote> - -<p>Bowen, L. J., in the same case, says:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"From where are you to collect the terms? You may collect them -from what passed between the parties, that is to say between the plaintiff -and the persons whom he employed, but you may also collect them from -the nature of the business itself, and it seems to me to be impossible as a -matter of business to suppose that these headings were composed and -furnished to the plaintiff upon any other terms than that he was to have -the copyright in them, because otherwise those who composed them -having furnished them to the plaintiff might themselves have published -them and defeated his object."</p></blockquote> - -<p>On the other hand in <i>Walter</i> v. <i>Howe</i>,<a id="FNanchor_351" href="#Footnote_351" class="fnanchor">[351]</a> Jessel, M. R., held -that the <i>Times</i> could not sue in respect of a biography of Lord -Beaconsfield which had appeared in their columns. There was -evidence that the author had been paid for his literary services, -but there was apparently no evidence as to whether he had been -"employed" "on the terms that the copyright should belong" -to the plaintiff. Notice that in this case no antecedent employment -whatsoever is shown. In <i>Johnson</i> v. <i>Newnes</i><a id="FNanchor_352" href="#Footnote_352" class="fnanchor">[352]</a> a series of -stories were contributed to the <i>Weekly Dispatch</i> under an -arrangement between the proprietor and the author. The -author was not on the permanent staff of the <i>Weekly Dispatch</i>. -He was paid by the proprietors for his contributions, the -arrangement being that the author should have the right of -separately publishing the stories, provided such separate publication -did not take place until after all the stories had appeared -in the <i>Weekly Dispatch</i>. In an action by the author against an -infringer, Romer, J., in giving judgment for the plaintiff, said that -he had come to the conclusion that although the plaintiff was -paid he was not paid on the terms that the copyright in the -stories should belong to the proprietors of the journal. The -author had therefore not parted with the copyright and was the -proper plaintiff.<a id="FNanchor_353" href="#Footnote_353" class="fnanchor">[353]</a> -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_71">[71]</span></p> - -<p>In <i>Aflalo</i> v. <i>Lawrence</i><a id="FNanchor_354" href="#Footnote_354" class="fnanchor">[354]</a> the defendants published a work called -"The Encyclopædia of Sport." A, one of the plaintiffs, agreed -with the defendants that he would edit the work. He was to -receive £500 for his services, and to write without further remuneration -7000 words of special articles. He was entitled to -pursue his literary work in so far as it did not interfere with the -performance of his duties. A contributed an article to the -encyclopædia under this agreement. A, by the request of the -defendants, procured C, the other plaintiff, to write certain -articles for the encyclopædia at the rate of £2 per thousand -words. The articles of both plaintiffs were published in the -encyclopædia. Joyce, J., held that the contributions of neither -plaintiff came within section 18, since there was nothing to show -that they were contributed on the terms that the copyright -therein should belong to the defendants. The defendants were -therefore not entitled to publish the plaintiff's articles in any -other form than as part of the encyclopædia. In view of the -earlier authorities I think this decision is extremely doubtful.</p> - -<p><i>Joint Employers.</i>—As has been seen above in the case of -<i>Trade Auxiliary</i> v. <i>Middlesborough</i>,<a id="FNanchor_355" href="#Footnote_355" class="fnanchor">[355]</a> two or more proprietors of -several periodicals may jointly employ an author so as to acquire -the copyright under this section. Each has a separate copyright -in his respective paper, and, although the matter contributed to -the several papers is the same, may sue without joining the other -proprietors.

If, however, -the author, while contributing on the terms that the proprietor -should have the copyright, reserves the right of publishing -his composition in a separate form within the meaning of the -proviso at the end of the section, when he does publish in -separate form he will be entitled to copyright concurrently with -the proprietor, but semble that he will have no right to sue -alone until publication in separate form,<a id="FNanchor_361" href="#Footnote_361" class="fnanchor">[361]</a> or until the lapse of -twenty-eight years.</p> - -<p>During the twenty-eight years the proprietor of a periodical -work is not, apart from express agreement, entitled to publish the -contribution in separate form. If the proprietor does publish -separately in breach of the provision of the section, the author -has a right of action against him, and the author's right not -being one of copyright but in respect of a breach of implied -or statutory contract he does not require to be registered.<a id="FNanchor_362" href="#Footnote_362" class="fnanchor">[362]</a> -"Separate" means in any other form than the original collective -publication, whether as a single work by itself or in conjunction -with other matter.

Therefore in the case of an -encyclopædia or similar collective works the owner has, apart -from special terms, a right to publish the contributor's article -separately from the original publication.</p> - -<p><b>Employer's Rights where Section 18 does not Apply.</b>—A -question of some difficulty has been raised from time to time to -which there is no definite authoritative answer, viz. whether apart -from the provisions of section 18 the copyright ever vests -<i>ab initio</i> in the employer of an author. We shall see in dealing -with assignment that probably the sole right before publication -to acquire the copyright of a book on first publication may pass -from the author to his assignee without writing, either by an -implied gift on delivery of the manuscript or by express oral -assignment. The question now considered is whether by the -fact of employment alone the work of the employee may not -<i>ipso facto</i> on production become the property of his employer. -In <i>Sweet</i> v. <i>Benning</i><a id="FNanchor_367" href="#Footnote_367" class="fnanchor">[367]</a> it was held that the employment of certain -members of the bar as reporters came within section 18, and -that the copyright vested in the employers themselves; but -during the argument Maule, J., is reported to have said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"One might almost infer without the aid of an Act of Parliament that -one who employs another to write an article or to make anything else for -him is the owner or proprietor."</p></blockquote> - -<p>I think that this suggestion is wrong if applied to the case of an -independent contractor, and that if such an employment does not -come within section 18 there will be no proprietary right in the -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_74">[74]</span> -employer <i>ab initio</i>, although it may be transferred to him before -publication by mere delivery of the manuscript with the mutual -intention to convey all rights. But in the case of a servant or -agent who produces literary work in the course of his employment, -I think it is different. I think that his work will vest -<i>ab initio</i> irrespective of section 18, and that section 18 only -applies to an independent contractor and not to a servant. In -<i>Hildesheimer</i> v. <i>Dunn</i><a id="FNanchor_368" href="#Footnote_368" class="fnanchor">[368]</a> Kekewich, J., takes this view. He -says:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"I entertain a strong opinion that when a person has composed verses, -we will say on behalf of another, that is to say as his servant or agent, -whether for pay or not, the person on whose behalf such verses are composed -is properly registered under the Act as the proprietor, notwithstanding -that there is no assignment in writing or indeed any assignment -at all."</p></blockquote> - -<h3><span class="smcap">Section V.—The Assignee.</span></h3> - -<p><b>Before Publication.</b>—Before a manuscript has been published -the right to publish and acquire the copyright may be -assigned so that on publication the copyright will be the -property of the assignee. If the publication takes place during -the lifetime of the author, the assignee takes the copyright under -sections 2 and 3 of the Copyright Act, 1842.<a id="FNanchor_369" href="#Footnote_369" class="fnanchor">[369]</a> Section 3 provides -"that the copyright in every book which shall, after the -passing of the Act, be published in the lifetime of its author ... -shall be the property of such author and his assigns." Section 2 -provides that the word "assigns" shall be "construed to -mean and include every person in whom the interest of an -author in copyright shall be vested, whether derived from such -author before or after the publication of any book, and whether -acquired by sale, gift, bequest, or by operation of law or otherwise." -If the publication takes place after the death of the -author, the assignee takes the copyright under section 3, which -enacts that "the copyright in every book which shall be published -after the death of its author ... shall be the property of -the proprietor of the author's manuscript from which such book -shall first be published and his assigns." The possession and -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_75">[75]</span> -right of property in the manuscript is <i>primâ facie</i> proof of the -right to publish and acquire copyright, but such proof may be -rebutted by showing that the possession or ownership of the -manuscript has been separated from the right to publish and -acquire copyright. Thus in the case of letters the literary -property remains in the writer and his assigns, whereas the -property in the physical substance of the manuscript has passed -to the receiver and his assigns.</p> - -<p>If an assignment of manuscript, purporting to carry with -it the right to publish and acquire copyright, is made before -publication, it is submitted that no writing is required. The -requirement that an assignment of copyright after publication -must be in writing is founded not on an express enactment, -but on implication from section 15 of the Copyright Act, 1842.<a id="FNanchor_370" href="#Footnote_370" class="fnanchor">[370]</a> -This section prohibits the reproduction of any book in which -there is subsisting copyright without the consent in writing of -the proprietor thereof. From this it is deduced by <i>a fortiori</i> -argument that an assignment of subsisting copyright must be -in writing.<a id="FNanchor_371" href="#Footnote_371" class="fnanchor">[371]</a> It does not in the least follow that the common -law right in manuscript may not be assigned by any mode -by which property of that description might be assigned at -common law. The Courts have not, however, sufficiently distinguished -between an assignment before and an assignment -after publication, and as a result the case law on the subject -is in a most unsatisfactory condition. There are several cases -under the statute of Anne, which statute, in very similar words -to the statute of Victoria, provides that copyright shall belong -to the author and his assignee or assigns. There is no definition -of "assigns," as in the statute of Victoria, but the rule -that assignment of copyright must be in writing is deduced in -the same way from the proviso that consent to copy must be -in writing. The cases under the statute of Anne should therefore -be equally applicable as authorities under the statute of -Victoria. In <i>Clementi</i> v. <i>Walker</i><a id="FNanchor_372" href="#Footnote_372" class="fnanchor">[372]</a> a French author had assigned -orally to an English subject the exclusive right of -printing and publishing a musical composition in this country. -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_76">[76]</span> -The work had not been published in England, and apart altogether -from the question of a prior publication in France, the -Court was of opinion that the publication in England did not -give copyright to the English publisher, "because there was -not any assignment or consent in writing given to the author -previously to that publication. The case of <i>Power</i> v. <i>Walker</i><a id="FNanchor_373" href="#Footnote_373" class="fnanchor">[373]</a> -is an authority to show that a parole assignment is not sufficient -to give to the assignee the privileges conferred by the legislature -upon the author." In <i>Colburn</i> v. <i>Duncombe</i><a id="FNanchor_374" href="#Footnote_374" class="fnanchor">[374]</a> there was -a written publishing agreement whereby the author agreed to -write a book and assign the whole copyright therein. On -completion the manuscript was delivered to the publisher, and -the author gave a written receipt for the consideration and -agreed to deliver a regular assignment when called upon. This -was never done, and in an action by the publisher against an -infringer it was held that he could not sue without the author -in whom the copyright had vested and remained. In <i>Sweet</i> v. -<i>Shaw</i><a id="FNanchor_375" href="#Footnote_375" class="fnanchor">[375]</a> the plaintiffs agreed with A and B that A and B should -report cases for them. A and B accordingly took notes of -cases, and these were printed and published by the plaintiffs. -Shadwell, V. C., said that he thought the plaintiffs had a copyright -in equity but not in law. "I cannot," he said, "see how -the agreement that persons shall prepare a work for the plaintiffs -gives the plaintiffs a copyright in law, for there can be no assignment -in law except of that which actually exists." In all these -three cases last cited it is submitted that the whole right of the -author should have been held to have passed to the publisher -by the delivery to him of the manuscript with the mutual -intention that he should acquire all rights therein. The first -case in which it is recognised that the author's right may before -publication pass without writing is <i>Jefferys</i> v. <i>Boosey</i>.<a id="FNanchor_376" href="#Footnote_376" class="fnanchor">[376]</a> Erle, J.,<a id="FNanchor_377" href="#Footnote_377" class="fnanchor">[377]</a> -and Coleridge, J.,<a id="FNanchor_378" href="#Footnote_378" class="fnanchor">[378]</a> decided that no writing was required. Speaking -of an oral assignment abroad of a manuscript subsequently -published here, Coleridge, J., said: "The assignee is clearly -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_77">[77]</span> -within the enabling clause of the statute (8 Anne, c. 19); he -is the assignee of an author, and even if these words may in -some cases mean an assignee under an instrument in writing -attested by two witnesses, it has not been shown or decided -that they must or can mean this in all cases. I think the contrary -has been shown. Larger words and less restrained the -legislature could scarcely have used, and on what sound principle -are we to import a restraint by implication?" Lord St. Leonards, -however, in the same case, seemed to be of opinion that the -assignment must be in writing and attested by two witnesses -(under 8 Anne, c. 19) even although made before publication. -In some of the cases the publisher with whom the author has -agreed that he shall have the whole copyright, but to whom -there has been no assignment in writing, has been said to be -an equitable owner of the copyright.<a id="FNanchor_379" href="#Footnote_379" class="fnanchor">[379]</a> But it is submitted that -if the manuscript passes before publication with mutual intention -to convey to the publisher all right, title, and interest -therein, the publisher is the legal assignee, and on publication -is the legal owner of the copyright, and there is no necessity -for a formal assignment in writing.<a id="FNanchor_380" href="#Footnote_380" class="fnanchor">[380]</a> The same principle may -not apply to performing rights in dramatic and musical works -under 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15. It is probable that statutory -performing rights vest in the author on production,<a id="FNanchor_381" href="#Footnote_381" class="fnanchor">[381]</a> and if this -is so there would probably be no common law performing -right, and therefore no common law assignment; the statutory -mode of assignment would attach from the beginning.<a id="FNanchor_382" href="#Footnote_382" class="fnanchor">[382]</a></p> - -<p><b>After Publication.</b>—After publication an assignment must be -in writing.<a id="FNanchor_383" href="#Footnote_383" class="fnanchor">[383]</a> It need not be by deed nor attested by witnesses,<a id="FNanchor_384" href="#Footnote_384" class="fnanchor">[384]</a> -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_78">[78]</span> -nor, it would seem, need it be signed by the proprietor or any -one.<a id="FNanchor_385" href="#Footnote_385" class="fnanchor">[385]</a> The assignment may be given by an agent.

If this is correct, any -attempt to assign a partial right would operate if at all as a mere -licence. This opinion of Lord St. Leonards was in respect of -the statute of Anne. It seems to be more or less accepted that -under the statute of Victoria copyright is divisible; that there -may be partial assignment limited as to place,<a id="FNanchor_407" href="#Footnote_407" class="fnanchor">[407]</a> <i>e. g.</i> provincial -rights, right to publish in a particular country, or limited as to -the nature of the right,<a id="FNanchor_408" href="#Footnote_408" class="fnanchor">[408]</a> <i>e. g.</i> the right to dramatize, the right to -translate. This view appears to be based on section 13 of the -Act of Victoria,<a id="FNanchor_409" href="#Footnote_409" class="fnanchor">[409]</a> which enacts that a registered proprietor may -assign his interest or any portion therein by making entry on -the register. I do not think that this provision in itself is conclusive -or that it necessarily follows that a copyright can be split -up and partially assigned. Section 13 may merely mean that -the owner can assign a certain undivided share in his copyright -to another. Cotton, L. J., in <i>Trade Auxiliary</i> v. <i>Middlesborough</i>,<a id="FNanchor_410" href="#Footnote_410" class="fnanchor">[410]</a> -refers to Lord St. Leonards' doctrine. He does not disapprove -of it, but he distinguishes the case of common ownership in a -copyright from the case of a partial assignment as to place.</p> - -<p>In a case decided in the Supreme Court of New South -Wales,<a id="FNanchor_411" href="#Footnote_411" class="fnanchor">[411]</a> it was held that the assignee of a performing right -limited to the Australian colonies could sue in his own name -for infringement. The Court distinguished between the performing -right and the copyright. They said that even although the -copyright, in accordance with Lord St. Leonards' opinion, was not -divisible the performing right was.<a id="FNanchor_412" href="#Footnote_412" class="fnanchor">[412]</a></p> - -<p>In any view of partial assignment I do not think there can -be partial assignment as to time.<a id="FNanchor_413" href="#Footnote_413" class="fnanchor">[413]</a> Such an assignment would -create an estate in possession and reversion in personal property, -and there is no reason for holding that copyright is any -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_81">[81]</span> -exception to the general rule that such an interest cannot be -created in personalty. Equitable estates, limited as to time, -can no doubt be created as in the case of any other personal -property.<a id="FNanchor_414" href="#Footnote_414" class="fnanchor">[414]</a> What purports to be an assignment limited as to -time must as a rule be treated as a licence.</p> - -<p><b>Assignment distinguished from Licence.</b>—The distinction between -an assignment and a licence must be carefully observed; -questions of the utmost importance will often depend on -whether a transaction was one or the other. An assignment -is a conveyance of the right denuding the grantor and carrying -to the grantee the whole interest including the right to sue and -the right to re-assign, whereas a licence is only a personal -permission to the grantee to infringe the grantor's right, and -carries with it no right of action except in the grantor's name. -In determining whether a particular transaction is an assignment -or a licence, the first question is whether, on a true -construction of the statute, the right purported to be given -can be given by assignment or only by licence. If the right -is one so limited that it cannot legally be the object of assignment, -the transaction must necessarily be a licence; but if it can -legally be the object of assignment, the further question arises as -to what was the intention of the parties as evidenced by what they -have said and done. There may often be clear words to show -what was intended, but more often it may never have occurred -to the parties that there was any distinction between an assignment -and a licence, and the form used will consequently be -ambiguous. The principal test in such cases is to examine -the contract and the circumstances under which it was made, -and see whether or not it bears the impress of a reliance by -the grantor on the personal skill or reputation of the grantee. -If it does a licence will be presumed rather than an assignment; -for instance, in a publishing agreement a licence only will -be presumed, since either the pocket or the reputation of the -author would suffer if the right of publication were to pass into -incompetent hands.<a id="FNanchor_415" href="#Footnote_415" class="fnanchor">[415]</a> -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_82">[82]</span></p> - -<h3><span class="smcap">Section VI.—The Licensee.</span></h3> - -<p>Whether a bare licensee can bring an action for infringement -without joining the legal owner of the copyright is open to -doubt. It is submitted that he cannot. The essence of a -licence proper is that it is merely a personal relationship -between a licensor and a licensee whereby the latter is permitted -to infringe the former's copyright. The old cases are -not satisfactory. The distinction between partial assignment -and licence is not clearly drawn, and the result is a confusion of -the respective rights of the assignee and the licensee. In several -cases it was said that licensees could sue<a id="FNanchor_416" href="#Footnote_416" class="fnanchor">[416]</a> but <i>quære</i> whether -they were not really partial assignees. It has also been said -that an owner of copyright who has granted an exclusive licence -cannot sue in respect of an infringement which touches only the -rights included in such licence, unless such owner has the consent -of his licensee.<a id="FNanchor_417" href="#Footnote_417" class="fnanchor">[417]</a> This again, it is submitted, is not a -correct statement of the law, and arises from a confusion between -a partial assignee and a licensee. In <i>Taylor</i> v. <i>Neville</i><a id="FNanchor_418" href="#Footnote_418" class="fnanchor">[418]</a> the -grant of provincial performing rights although called a licence -was really treated as an assignment and distinguished from -a "merely personal licence." It is submitted that a licence -proper is always "merely personal" and that the grantor may sue -without consent of his licensee. Where a licence has been -granted or when there is doubt as to whether a particular grant -is an assignment or a licence, it will always be safer to join both -grantor and grantee as co-plaintiffs. A licence will not be presumed -to be a sole licence, and unless it is expressly stated, or -must necessarily be implied from the circumstances that it is so, -the first licensee cannot restrain the licensor from granting, or a -second licensee from acting on, a second licence.<a id="FNanchor_419" href="#Footnote_419" class="fnanchor">[419]</a> -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_83">[83]</span></p> - -<h3><span class="smcap">Section VII.—The Executors or Administrators.</span></h3> - -<p>Copyright is personal property, and descends on the death of -an owner to his personal representatives.<a id="FNanchor_420" href="#Footnote_420" class="fnanchor">[420]</a> "Assigns" is expressly -interpreted to include one taking by bequest or by operation of -law.

Jessel, M. R., however, differed from this -view,<a id="FNanchor_470" href="#Footnote_470" class="fnanchor">[470]</a> and thought that the 23rd section applied to unlawful -copies made before the plaintiff's title was registered. It must -also be considered doubtful whether section 23 applies where -the defendant's book is not merely a reprint of the plaintiff's. In -an Irish case O'Brien, J., said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It would be difficult to maintain that under the 23rd section the -proprietor of the copyright in a book would acquire the property of all -copies of another book which contained printed therein a few pages or -passages of his book."<a id="FNanchor_471" href="#Footnote_471" class="fnanchor">[471]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>But, whether or not in such a case the plaintiff would be -entitled under the section to extraction and delivery up for his -benefit of the pirated parts, he is under the general jurisdiction -of the Court entitled to delivery up for cancellation.<a id="FNanchor_472" href="#Footnote_472" class="fnanchor">[472]</a> In -<i>Warne</i> v. <i>Seebohm</i><a id="FNanchor_473" href="#Footnote_473" class="fnanchor">[473]</a> the order was that the defendant should -first state upon oath what copies of the work exist; secondly, -extract from those copies which are in his possession or power -and deliver up to the plaintiffs for cancellation all passages copied, -taken, or colourably imitated from the plaintiffs' book; thirdly, -produce to the plaintiffs, if required by them for examination, -the copies after the pirated passages have been extracted.<a id="FNanchor_474" href="#Footnote_474" class="fnanchor">[474]</a> -<i>Quære</i> whether the Court would order delivery up in an action -to which the person who owned the books and paper and at -whose expense the printing was executed was not a party.<a id="FNanchor_475" href="#Footnote_475" class="fnanchor">[475]</a> -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_91">[91]</span></p> - -<p><b>Customs Act.</b>—The Customs Laws Consolidation Act, 1876,<a id="FNanchor_476" href="#Footnote_476" class="fnanchor">[476]</a> -provides for the seizure of foreign books, and in this respect -is somewhat inconsistent with section 17 of the Copyright Act. -Section 42 of the Customs Act prohibits the importation of books -"first composed or written or printed in the United Kingdom -and printed or reprinted in any other country, as to which the -proprietor of such copyright or his agent shall have given to the -Commissioners of Customs a notice in writing duly declared<a id="FNanchor_477" href="#Footnote_477" class="fnanchor">[477]</a> -that such copyright subsists, such notice also stating when such -copyright will expire." On reference to section 17 of the Copyright -Act it will be noticed that the prohibition there is as to -books "reprinted in any country or place outside the British -dominions." <i>Quære</i> does the provision in the Customs Act -enlarge the protection by the words "printed or reprinted in -any other country"? Does this include the colonies? Again it -will be noticed that the Copyright Act has no condition as to notice -to the Commissioners of Customs. <i>Quære</i> is the notice required -by the Customs Act a condition precedent to all protection from -unlawful importation, and in this respect does the Customs Act -limit the provisions of the Copyright Act, or is the Customs Act -merely directory to the Custom-house officials? To be on the safe -side the notice should always be given. Section 44 of the Customs -Act provides for the keeping of a list of books as to which -notice has been given, and section 45 entitles any person who -shall have cause to complain of the insertion of any book in -such list to apply to a judge at chambers for the rectification -thereof.</p> - -<p><b>Every Offence.</b>—Each separate transaction of sale or importation -will constitute a separate offence, for which a -separate penalty of £10 will accrue.<a id="FNanchor_478" href="#Footnote_478" class="fnanchor">[478]</a> It would seem that -"every such offence" does not, as in the Artistic Copyright -Act, mean "or the sale or importation of every copy."<a id="FNanchor_479" href="#Footnote_479" class="fnanchor">[479]</a></p> - -<p><b>Limitation of Action.</b>—Section 26 of the Copyright Act, 1842, -enacts, "that all actions, suits, bills, indictments or informations -for any offence that shall be committed against this Act shall be -brought, sued, and commenced within twelve calendar months -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_92">[92]</span> -next after such offence committed, or else the same shall be void -and of none effect." It is clear that even although the remedy -for one offence is barred, that in no way extinguishes the owner's -right, and the owner may sue for subsequent offences;<a id="FNanchor_480" href="#Footnote_480" class="fnanchor">[480]</a> thus -although a piratical book has been printed and published more -than twelve months before action brought, yet the owner will -be entitled to sue in respect of sales, &c., made within the -twelve months. In a Scotch case, <i>Stewart</i> v. <i>Black</i>,<a id="FNanchor_481" href="#Footnote_481" class="fnanchor">[481]</a> it seems to -have been held by Lord President Boyle that the limitation in the -26th section did not apply to an action of damages for infringement, -and Malins, V. C., says <i>obiter</i> in <i>Weldon</i> v. <i>Dicks</i>,<a id="FNanchor_482" href="#Footnote_482" class="fnanchor">[482]</a> that in his -opinion the limitation only applies to an action for penalties. It -is submitted that <i>Stewart</i> v. <i>Black</i>, if applied to books published -after 1842, is wrong, and that the dictum of Malins, V. C., in -<i>Weldon</i> v. <i>Dicks</i>, is also wrong. The section seems sufficiently -clear and applicable to all actions brought in respect of an -infringement of copyright. The argument contra seems to be -based on the use of the words "for any offence that shall be -committed," from which it is argued, that penalties only are -pointed at.

The moment he had given that -degree of light to the defendant which led him to refer to that common -source, if the defendant did really and <i>bonâ fide</i> look at that common -source, he did all that this Court required him to do. He must not -simply copy the passage from the plaintiffs book, but, having been put -on to the track, and having looked at that particular part of the book -which the plaintiff led him to, he was entitled to make use of every -passage from that author which the plaintiff had made use of."<a id="FNanchor_601" href="#Footnote_601" class="fnanchor">[601]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>In this case the quotation was proved to have been taken -directly from the plaintiff's work, but this was considered to be -so small a taking that the bill was dismissed, though without -costs, the Court being satisfied "that the book of the defendant -was his own composition in this sense, that wherever he got -the materials from they were worked up by him into his own -language."<a id="FNanchor_602" href="#Footnote_602" class="fnanchor">[602]</a></p> - -<p>It is no excuse for piracy to say that with a little labour the -copyist could have produced identically the same result.<a id="FNanchor_603" href="#Footnote_603" class="fnanchor">[603]</a> The -fact that the result may be identical is a reason for not making -a new book, but it is no reason for copying another's book.</p> - -<p><i>Work with a Different Object.</i>—An author is much less restricted -in the use which he may make of a previously published -copyright book if such book is of an entirely different nature or -has a different scope or object from his own work. Considerable -portions may then be taken for the purpose of comment, -criticism, or illustration. Lord Eldon suggested in one case<a id="FNanchor_604" href="#Footnote_604" class="fnanchor">[604]</a> that -a copyright map might be taken bodily for the purpose of insertion -in a book giving an historical account of all the different -maps of a particular district. In <i>Bradbury</i> v. <i>Hotten</i>,<a id="FNanchor_605" href="#Footnote_605" class="fnanchor">[605]</a> Kelly, C. B., -suggested that a picture might be reproduced amongst a large -collection published for an entirely different object from that -which the first publisher had in view.</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"We must consider in each case the intent of the copyist and the -nature of the work. A traveller publishes a book of travels about some -distant country like China. Amongst other things he describes some -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_110">[110]</span> -mode of preparing food in use there. Then the compiler of a cookery -book republishes the description. No one would say that was a piracy. -So, again, an author publishes a history illustrated with woodcuts of the -heads of kings, and another person writing another history of some -other country finds occasion to copy one of these woodcuts. That again -would not be a piracy."<a id="FNanchor_606" href="#Footnote_606" class="fnanchor">[606]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>These <i>obiter dicta</i> illustrate sufficiently well the distinction -between taking for a rival work and taking for an entirely -different object; it is probable, however, that some of them go -too far and tend to follow the mistake of the older view of infringement -in looking more to the value of the work done by the -plagiarist than to the value of the material taken. As authoritative -<i>dicta</i> they must, therefore, be accepted with caution. The -best test of infringement or no infringement in a taking of this -kind is to inquire whether the subsequent work by reason of the -taking provides a substitute for the whole or any substantial part -of the prior publication. In <i>Bradbury</i> v. <i>Hotten</i>,<a id="FNanchor_607" href="#Footnote_607" class="fnanchor">[607]</a> nine cartoons, -illustrative of the career of Napoleon III., were published in -<i>Punch</i> in nine several weekly numbers. The defendants -published a volume entitled "Story of the Life of Napoleon, as -told by popular Caricaturists of the last thirty years," which contained -among numerous other illustrations taken from French -and English comic journals the nine cartoons first produced in -<i>Punch</i>. This was held to be an infringement of the copyright in -<i>Punch</i>. In <i>Nicols</i> v. <i>Pitman</i><a id="FNanchor_608" href="#Footnote_608" class="fnanchor">[608]</a> the defendant published in an -educational work for the purpose of instruction in shorthand -writing a lecture delivered by the plaintiff on "The Dog as the -Friend of Man." The Court held there was an infringement, -because although the lecture was reproduced in shorthand characters, -it might by those who could read shorthand be reasonably -used as a substitute for the lecture printed in ordinary -characters. A compiler of an encyclopædia or similar work -would probably be allowed to quote to a certain extent from -copyright monographs, but this must not be carried to such an -extent as to supersede the original work.<a id="FNanchor_609" href="#Footnote_609" class="fnanchor">[609]</a> Several cases have -been before the Courts on the verbatim copying of law reports -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_111">[111]</span> -in whole or in part into legal treatises of various kinds. The -collection of all the reports on a particular branch of law such -as "Poor Law"<a id="FNanchor_610" href="#Footnote_610" class="fnanchor">[610]</a> or "Registration of Voters,<a id="FNanchor_611" href="#Footnote_611" class="fnanchor">[611]</a> is an infringement -of copyright if they are copied verbatim from previously -published copyright reports. This will be so even although they -are collected from the reports of many different reporters.<a id="FNanchor_612" href="#Footnote_612" class="fnanchor">[612]</a> In -<i>Sweet</i> v. <i>Benning</i>,<a id="FNanchor_613" href="#Footnote_613" class="fnanchor">[613]</a> a digest compiled by taking verbatim the -head notes from copyright law reports and arranging them -under appropriate titles was held to be an illegal publication, -the Court being of opinion that the defendant had been guilty of -an abuse of the fair right of extract, which the law allows for the -purpose of comment, criticism, or illustration. No doubt in -text-books large portions of the head notes, arguments of counsel, -and judgments may be taken verbatim. In an ordinary legal -text-book it would require a very free use of verbatim quotation -to found the necessary argument that the text-book provided -even to the smallest extent a substitute for the original reports. -A more difficult question arises where volumes of leading cases -are published, the cases being reproduced verbatim from the -original reports but with extensive notes and comment. In -<i>Saunders</i> v. <i>Smith</i>,<a id="FNanchor_614" href="#Footnote_614" class="fnanchor">[614]</a> the Court refused to decide whether "Smith's -Leading Cases" constituted an infringement of the original -reports, judgment going for the defendants on the ground of -acquiescence. In the Irish case of <i>Hodges</i> v. <i>Welsh</i><a id="FNanchor_615" href="#Footnote_615" class="fnanchor">[615]</a> a similar -problem was suggested but not decided. The better view -probably is that such a wholesale taking is an infringement of -the copyright of the original reporters.</p> - -<p><i>Extract for Purpose of Criticism.</i>—Lord Eldon, in <i>Mawman</i> v. -<i>Tegg</i>,<a id="FNanchor_616" href="#Footnote_616" class="fnanchor">[616]</a> says:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Quotation is necessary for the purpose of reviewing, and quotation -for such a purpose is not to have the appellation of piracy affixed to it; -but quotation may be carried to the extent of manifesting piratical -intention."</p></blockquote> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_112">[112]</span></p> - -<p>Considerable quotation may be made for the <i>bonâ fide</i> purpose -of criticising a copyright book;<a id="FNanchor_617" href="#Footnote_617" class="fnanchor">[617]</a> in one case<a id="FNanchor_618" href="#Footnote_618" class="fnanchor">[618]</a> nearly a quarter of -a controversial article in a magazine was quoted in a reply -thereto published in another magazine, and the Court held that -this constituted no infringement, as the extracts were clearly -inserted for the purpose of criticism and argument. The question -is whether so much of the original work is extracted that the -review substantially communicates the same knowledge as the -book reviewed.<a id="FNanchor_619" href="#Footnote_619" class="fnanchor">[619]</a> Thus in <i>Campbell</i> v. <i>Scott</i>,<a id="FNanchor_620" href="#Footnote_620" class="fnanchor">[620]</a> the defendant published -"The Book of Poets" containing, <i>inter alia</i>, an essay and -biographical notice of the poet Campbell, and, as the defendant -said, by way of illustrating the poet's works, a large number of -his poems and extracts therefrom were appended to the biographical -notice without any particular observations in the way -of notes to individual pieces or extracts. This was clearly an -infringement of the poet's copyright. In a similar case, <i>Smith</i> v. -<i>Chatto</i>,<a id="FNanchor_621" href="#Footnote_621" class="fnanchor">[621]</a> the defendants published a book entitled "Thackerayana." -It purported to be a critical essay on the life and works -of Thackeray, and contained extensive quotations from his writings, -prefaced and interspersed with comments by the writer of -the book. Hall, V. C., held in fact that the defendants had -inserted the extracts for the purpose of increasing and enhancing -the value of their book, and that they had therefore infringed the -copyright in Thackeray's works.</p> - -<p><i>Improvement or Addition of New Matter no Excuse.</i>—In the -earlier cases of taking material from a rival publication if it was -shown to have been greatly improved and added to, this was -accepted as an excuse for the piracy, on the ground that a new -and more useful work had been given to the public. Thus in -<i>Sayre</i> v. <i>Moore</i><a id="FNanchor_622" href="#Footnote_622" class="fnanchor">[622]</a> Lord Mansfield said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"If an erroneous chart be made, God forbid it should not be corrected -even in a small degree if it thereby become more serviceable and useful -for the purposes to which it is applied."</p></blockquote> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_113">[113]</span></p> - -<p>In <i>Cary</i> v. <i>Kearsley</i>,<a id="FNanchor_623" href="#Footnote_623" class="fnanchor">[623]</a> Lord Ellenborough said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"While I shall think myself bound to secure every man in the enjoyment -of his copyright, one must not put manacles on science."</p></blockquote> - -<p>In <i>Martin</i> v. <i>Wright</i>,<a id="FNanchor_624" href="#Footnote_624" class="fnanchor">[624]</a> Shadwell, V. C., says:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Any person may copy and publish the whole of a literary composition -provided he writes notes upon it so as to present it to the public -connected with matter of his own."</p></blockquote> - -<p>The theory of these early cases on infringement seems to -have been—colourable alteration is not to be allowed, but no -check must be put on the taking of material when it is taken <i>bonâ -fide</i> in the interests of scientific or literary knowledge. Gradually, -however, the Courts in questions of infringement came to look -more to the interests of the author than to those of the public, -and regarded the law of copyright more as a means of securing -rights of property to the individual than as an unnatural monopoly -created for the purpose of encouraging and developing -literary effort. Thus in <i>D'Almaine</i> v. <i>Boosey</i>,<a id="FNanchor_625" href="#Footnote_625" class="fnanchor">[625]</a> in 1835, it was held -to be an infringement to publish the music of an opera in the -form of waltzes and quadrilles, and this notwithstanding that -these waltzes and quadrilles would, if taken from the music of a -non-copyright opera, have been protected as original works.<a id="FNanchor_626" href="#Footnote_626" class="fnanchor">[626]</a> -Since then many cases have followed on the same lines, and no -addition, correction, or improvement will now be accepted as an -excuse for taking a material part of a copyright publication.<a id="FNanchor_627" href="#Footnote_627" class="fnanchor">[627]</a> -But although improvement and addition is no excuse for taking -a substantial portion of another author's work, the fact that there -has been such improvement and addition is not to be entirely -ignored in questions of infringement. It may be an important -factor in determining whether or not there has been a taking of -a substantial part.<a id="FNanchor_628" href="#Footnote_628" class="fnanchor">[628]</a> We have seen that to determine that question -the two works must be taken as a whole and their relation to -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_114">[114]</span> -one another considered, and particularly the relative value of the -material taken.<a id="FNanchor_629" href="#Footnote_629" class="fnanchor">[629]</a></p> - -<p><i>Dramatization of a Novel.</i>—The representation on the stage of -a dramatized version of a copyright novel is not in itself an -infringement of copyright in such novel, since copyright only -prohibits the reproduction of copies, and representation on -the stage does not necessarily imply that a copy of the whole -or any material part of the novel has been made.<a id="FNanchor_630" href="#Footnote_630" class="fnanchor">[630]</a> But if in -dramatizing any substantial passages are taken from the novel, -it is an infringement of copyright to print and publish the -drama,<a id="FNanchor_631" href="#Footnote_631" class="fnanchor">[631]</a> and in <i>Warne</i> v. <i>Seebohm</i><a id="FNanchor_632" href="#Footnote_632" class="fnanchor">[632]</a> Stirling, J., held that the -making of four manuscript or typewritten copies of a drama -taken from a copyright novel—one for the Lord Chamberlain -and the other three for use in representation—constituted an -infringement of the copyright in the novel. In this case, as -in <i>Tinsley</i> v. <i>Lacy</i>,<a id="FNanchor_633" href="#Footnote_633" class="fnanchor">[633]</a> considerable passages in the play had been -extracted verbatim from the novel.</p> - -<p>Whether if no actual sentences be taken it is an infringement -of copyright to take the characters, the sequence of events, and -scenes, in short, the plot, is doubtful. In <i>Warne</i> v. <i>Seebohm</i> it -was suggested by Stirling, J., in his judgment, that a novel might -be lawfully dramatized if a few copies of the novel were purchased -and a drama compiled therefrom by cutting out and -pasting in the passages which it was thought desirable to take. -This, however, would involve a copying of the arrangement -of scenes and events, and it is suggested that even that might -be an infringement.</p> - -<p><i>Abridgments.</i>—Probably an abridgment in the ordinary sense -of the word, that is, the reproduction of a book in a shorter -form, retaining the general scheme and arrangement, and the -sequence of ideas, would now be held to be an infringement.<a id="FNanchor_634" href="#Footnote_634" class="fnanchor">[634]</a> -In the earlier cases, which tend to excuse a taking by reason -of the utility of additional work bestowed upon the material -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_115">[115]</span> -taken, an abridgment is recognised as a lawful use of a copyright -book. In 1740 Lord Hardwicke, L. C., in dealing with an -alleged abridgment of Sir Matthew Hale's <i>Historia Placitorum -Coronæ</i>,<a id="FNanchor_635" href="#Footnote_635" class="fnanchor">[635]</a> said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Where books are colourably shortened only they are undoubtedly -within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, and are a mere evasion of -the statute and cannot be called an abridgment. But this must not -be carried so far as to restrain persons from making a real and fair -abridgment, for abridgments may with great propriety be called a -new book, because not only the paper and print but the invention, -judgment, and learning of the author is shown in them, and in many cases -are extremely useful though in some instances prejudicial by mistaking -and curtailing the sense of an author."</p></blockquote> - -<p>It will be noticed how completely this argument is founded -on the idea that an author may take the materials of another so -long as he sufficiently modifies it by such addition, extraction, -or correction as to give it the character of a new work. It is a -good argument in favour of a plaintiff who has dealt with a -non-copyright work and desires protection, but it would not -now be considered a sound answer to a charge of infringement. -Since <i>Gyles</i> v. <i>Wilcox</i><a id="FNanchor_636" href="#Footnote_636" class="fnanchor">[636]</a> it seems to have been accepted as law -that what was called a fair abridgment would be allowed.<a id="FNanchor_637" href="#Footnote_637" class="fnanchor">[637]</a> In -<i>Dodsley</i> v. <i>Kinnersley</i><a id="FNanchor_638" href="#Footnote_638" class="fnanchor">[638]</a> the Court went so far as to admit as a fair -abridgment a magazine article containing about one-tenth of -Dr. Johnson's "Prince of Abyssinia." Selections were, it -appears, taken and reproduced verbatim. The same doctrine -as to abridgments was repeated in <i>D'Almaine</i> v. <i>Boosey</i>:<a id="FNanchor_639" href="#Footnote_639" class="fnanchor">[639]</a></p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It is a nice question what shall be deemed such a modification of an -original work as shall absorb the merit of the original in the new -composition. No doubt such a modification may be allowed in some -cases, as in that of an abridgment or digest. Such publications are -in their nature original. Their compiler intends to make of them a new -use, not that which the author proposed to make. Digests are of great -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_116">[116]</span> -use to practical men, though not so, comparatively speaking, to students. -The same may be said of an abridgment of any study, but it must be a -<i>bonâ fide</i> abridgment, because if it contains many chapters of the original -work or such as made that work most saleable, the maker of the -abridgment commits a piracy."<a id="FNanchor_640" href="#Footnote_640" class="fnanchor">[640]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>When the view as to plagiarism being excusable on account of -its utility began to alter, and the Courts began to look more -to what was taken and the value of it than to what labour was -expended on it afterwards, the view taken of abridgments -began to change too. In 1844 one of Dickens' Christmas stories -was abridged evidently much in the same way as Dr. Johnson's -tale in <i>Dodsley</i> v. <i>Kinnersley</i>.<a id="FNanchor_641" href="#Footnote_641" class="fnanchor">[641]</a> Knight Bruce, V. C., held that -there was an infringement:<a id="FNanchor_642" href="#Footnote_642" class="fnanchor">[642]</a></p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The defendant has printed and published a novel, of which fable, -persons, names, and characters of persons, the age, time, country, and -scene are exactly the same, the style of language in which the story is -told is in many instances identical, in all similar, except where certain -alterations by way of extension or substitution have been made, as to -which whether they improve or do not improve upon the original -composition it is not necessary for me to express any opinion. Now -this has been said to be an abridgment, and as an abridgment to be -protected. I am not aware that one man has the right to abridge the -works of another. On the other hand, I do not mean to say that there -may not be an abridgment which may be lawful, which may be protected; -but to say that one man has the right to abridge and so publish in an -abridged form the work of another without more is going much beyond -my notion of what the law of this country is."</p></blockquote> - -<p>In 1864 Lord Hatherley, then Sir William Page Wood, -said:<a id="FNanchor_643" href="#Footnote_643" class="fnanchor">[643]</a></p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The Court has gone far enough in the direction of sanctioning fair -abridgments; and it is difficult to acquiesce in the reason sometimes -given that the compiler of an abridgment is a benefactor to mankind by -assisting in the diffusion of knowledge."</p></blockquote> - -<p><i>Translations</i>.—There are two recent decisions in India to the -effect that the translation of an English book into an Indian -language is not an infringement of the author's copyright.<a id="FNanchor_644" href="#Footnote_644" class="fnanchor">[644]</a> If -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_117">[117]</span> -we are to be guided by the general principles of the law of -copyright now accepted by our Courts, I think these Indian -decisions must be held to be wrong. A translation takes everything -in a book but the actual words; it takes the selection of -material and its arrangement, and is certainly a very material -taking of the work and labours of another. The translator is -making a profit from the author's work by using it in a manner -in which the author might have himself used it and made a -similar profit. The only real answer which the translator has -is that he has expended a great deal of skilled labour in putting -the author's book into another form. This might have been a -defence fifty years ago, but I do not think it is a good defence -now. In England there is no direct decision; although there -are several <i>obiter dicta</i> to the effect that a translation is not an -infringement. In <i>Burnett</i> v. <i>Chetwood</i>,<a id="FNanchor_645" href="#Footnote_645" class="fnanchor">[645]</a> in 1720, there is a <i>dictum</i> -of Lord Chancellor Macclesfield, in which he expressed his -opinion that a translation might not be within the prohibition of -the Act (8 Anne c. 19), "on account that the translator had -bestowed his pains upon it." In <i>Millar</i> v. <i>Taylor</i>,<a id="FNanchor_646" href="#Footnote_646" class="fnanchor">[646]</a> Yates, J., -and in <i>Prince Albert</i> v. <i>Strange</i>,<a id="FNanchor_647" href="#Footnote_647" class="fnanchor">[647]</a> Knight Bruce, V. C., suggest -that a translation is not an infringement. In <i>Wyatt</i> v. <i>Barnard</i><a id="FNanchor_648" href="#Footnote_648" class="fnanchor">[648]</a> -it was held that a translation would be protected as a new -work, but it does not follow that it is not an infringement of -an old one. I think that these English <i>dicta</i> are practically -useless as authorities, since it cannot now be maintained that -the translator will be permitted to take the work of an original -author merely because he "bestows his pains upon it." In -<i>Murray</i> v. <i>Bogue</i>,<a id="FNanchor_649" href="#Footnote_649" class="fnanchor">[649]</a> Kindersley, V. C., said that if an English book -were translated into a foreign language and then retranslated -into English without authority such translation would be an -infringement of the original work. If this is so, it is difficult -to see why the translation into the foreign language is not also -an infringement if done without authority. The translation -and the retranslation appear to be exactly on the same footing, -both take the substance of the book, the plot, the arrangement, -the selection of material; neither takes the author's words. If it -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_118">[118]</span> -is said that one competes with the original which the other does -not, the answer is that it is no defence to say that an infringement -is made for a wholly different market from that which -the original commands.<a id="FNanchor_650" href="#Footnote_650" class="fnanchor">[650]</a> An author is entitled not only to the -uses which he does make of his work, but also to the uses which -he might make of it.</p> - -<p><b>Licence</b>.—A licence in writing<a id="FNanchor_651" href="#Footnote_651" class="fnanchor">[651]</a> granted by the plaintiff to the -defendant is a good defence to an action for infringement.

In a dramatic or -musical work, the two rights—the copyright and the performing -right—exist side by side; but they are quite distinct from one -another, and may pass into different hands. The copyright can -only be infringed by copying, the performing right by representation -or performance. It is no infringement to dramatize and -represent on the stage a copyright novel, since the only exclusive -right as to non-dramatic work is the multiplication of copies;<a id="FNanchor_664" href="#Footnote_664" class="fnanchor">[664]</a> -but a drama on which a novel has been founded may be infringed -by another drama taken from the novel.<a id="FNanchor_665" href="#Footnote_665" class="fnanchor">[665]</a> A writes and publishes -a novel. He then dramatizes it, but does not publish the drama. -B represents a drama founded on the novel. Such a representation -is no infringement either of A's drama<a id="FNanchor_666" href="#Footnote_666" class="fnanchor">[666]</a> or of his novel. It -makes no difference even if A has published his drama.<a id="FNanchor_667" href="#Footnote_667" class="fnanchor">[667]</a> In -dramatizing a copyright novel, however, the making of a single -copy of the drama may be an infringement of the copyright in -the novel.<a id="FNanchor_668" href="#Footnote_668" class="fnanchor">[668]</a> It is no infringement of performing right to print -and publish as a book a play which has been publicly performed,<a id="FNanchor_669" href="#Footnote_669" class="fnanchor">[669]</a> -but it may be an infringement of the common law right in the -MS.,<a id="FNanchor_670" href="#Footnote_670" class="fnanchor">[670]</a> or the statutory copyright in the book if already printed -and published, or it may be a breach of implied contract.<a id="FNanchor_671" href="#Footnote_671" class="fnanchor">[671]</a> If a -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_121">[121]</span> -dramatic piece or musical composition is first published as a -book, this does not take away the performing right. This was -decided in <i>Chappell</i> v. <i>Boosey</i><a id="FNanchor_672" href="#Footnote_672" class="fnanchor">[672]</a> in respect of music, and is equally -applicable to dramatic work. Conversely the representation or -performance of a dramatic piece or musical composition in -public does not deprive the author of his common law right to -publish as a book, or of his copyright when he so publishes.<a id="FNanchor_673" href="#Footnote_673" class="fnanchor">[673]</a> -Performing right extends throughout the British dominions.<a id="FNanchor_674" href="#Footnote_674" class="fnanchor">[674]</a></p> - -<h3><span class="smcap">Section II.—Performing Right at Common Law</span>.</h3> - -<p>It is doubtful whether there ever was any performing right at -common law. The only case from which it could be gathered -that there was is <i>Morris</i> v. <i>Kelly</i>,<a id="FNanchor_675" href="#Footnote_675" class="fnanchor">[675]</a> where an injunction was -granted by Lord Eldon restraining the performance of a comedy. -The play was apparently in manuscript, but it does not appear -whether it had been performed or not. The ground of the -decision is very uncertain. From the fact that the Lord Chancellor -asked for proof that the assignment was in writing, it -might almost appear that protection was given under the statute -of Anne, which would certainly have been unsound. The -decision may also have been on the ground of common law right -in unpublished manuscript, <i>i. e.</i> the right to prevent any one but -the owner from interfering with it in any way, or it may have -been on the ground of breach of implied contract. Altogether -the decision is unsatisfactory; the application seems to have been -<i>ex parte</i>, and the law hardly to have been considered, so that it -is impossible to base any definite proposition of law on the case. -On the other hand Erie, C. J., stated in the course of the argument -in <i>Marsh</i> v. <i>Conquest</i>,<a id="FNanchor_676" href="#Footnote_676" class="fnanchor">[676]</a> that there was no performing right at -common law. For his authority, however, he cites <i>Murray</i> v. -<i>Elliston</i>,<a id="FNanchor_677" href="#Footnote_677" class="fnanchor">[677]</a> which is hardly sufficient to support the proposition. -In <i>Murray</i> v. <i>Elliston</i> a tragedy by Lord Byron was printed and -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_122">[122]</span> -published for sale. The defendants abridged it and represented -it on the stage in the abridged form. It was argued for the -defendant that the tragedy having been printed and published -as a book, must depend for protection entirely on the statute of -Anne in accordance with the decision in <i>Donaldson</i> v. <i>Beckett</i>.<a id="FNanchor_678" href="#Footnote_678" class="fnanchor">[678]</a> -The statute of Anne gave no performing right, and therefore -there was no protection. The Court gave judgment for the -defendant, but the ground of their judgment is not quite clear. -Some stress seems to be laid on the fact that the tragedy was -abridged, and it is therefore left doubtful whether the judges -would have considered the representation of an unabridged -version to be an infringement of the plaintiff's rights. In either -view it is not a decision that there was no performing right at -common law. Another case which may be relied on for the -contention against performing right at common law is <i>Coleman</i> -v. <i>Wathen</i>,<a id="FNanchor_679" href="#Footnote_679" class="fnanchor">[679]</a> but on examination it will be seen that all that case -decides is that the statute of Anne gave no performing right, and -that representation on the stage was not an infringement of -copyright.</p> - -<p>It is submitted that the history of the law of performing right -is this: At common law there was no performing right in the -proper sense of the term, but an unpublished manuscript was -protected from performance as from any other invasion of the -author's exclusive right to it. If it was performed on the stage -without being published as a book, there would be a remedy on -breach of implied contract, the public only being admitted for -the purpose of hearing the performance. Once, however, it was -published as a book, all exclusive right of performance was gone. -The statute of Anne gave no performing right, and performing -right proper was first created by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15. This -statute and 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 govern the performing right in -dramatic pieces. The performing right in musical compositions -is governed by these two Acts, as modified by the Copyright -(Musical Compositions) Acts of 1882 and 1888. -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_123">[123]</span> -</p> - -<h3><span class="smcap">Section III.—What is a Dramatic Work.</span></h3> - -<p>The subject of dramatic performing right must be—</p> - -<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">1. An original composition.</span> -<span class="i0">2. Of a dramatic nature.</span> -</div></div> - -<p>The amount of original composition required is probably the -same as in a literary work claiming the protection of the Copyright -Act, 1842, as a "book." As has been seen the standard is -extremely low, no literary merit or great skill being essential.<a id="FNanchor_680" href="#Footnote_680" class="fnanchor">[680]</a> -Adaptations, translations, and the like, are protected <i>quoad</i> their -transformation.<a id="FNanchor_681" href="#Footnote_681" class="fnanchor">[681]</a></p> - -<p>As to what amount of dramatic element is required is not -clear from the statutes, and not much clearer from the decisions. -It is now well decided that in order to secure a performing right -there must be some dramatic element. That is to say, one -cannot compose a non-dramatic work, and after publishing it in -its non-dramatic form, claim the exclusive right to represent the -non-dramatic work on the stage in dramatic form.<a id="FNanchor_682" href="#Footnote_682" class="fnanchor">[682]</a> But the -difficulty is to define what is "dramatic form." The dramatic -works protected by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 are "any tragedy, -comedy, play, opera, farce, or any other dramatic piece or entertainment." -In 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 "dramatic piece" is defined -as including every tragedy, comedy, play, opera, farce, or other -scenic, musical, or dramatic entertainment. Neither definition is -very satisfactory. In <i>Lee</i> v. <i>Simpson</i><a id="FNanchor_683" href="#Footnote_683" class="fnanchor">[683]</a> it was held that an introduction -to a pantomime, being the only written part, and -intended to be followed by "comic business," was a dramatic -piece. This case as reported, however, is of little assistance, as -it does not show what the exact nature of the "introduction" -was, and the judgment of the Court does not contain any definition -of a dramatic piece. In <i>Russell</i> v. <i>Smith</i><a id="FNanchor_684" href="#Footnote_684" class="fnanchor">[684]</a> the question was -more carefully considered. The work in which a performing -right was claimed was a song called "The Ship on Fire." It -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_124">[124]</span> -was founded on the loss of <i>The Kent</i> by fire in the Bay of Biscay. -According to the judgment—</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It represents a storm at sea, the burning of the ship, and an escape -by boat to another ship, and so a safe return to land. It moves terror -and pity and sympathy, by presenting danger, and despair, and joy, and -maternal and conjugal affection. A witness of great experience in publishing -music deposed that this was considered a dramatic song."</p></blockquote> - -<p>The Court held that it was a "dramatic piece." Lord -Denman, C. J., said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The nature of the production places it rather in the representative -than the narrative class of poetry, according to Lord Bacon's division of -dramatic from epic; and the evidence states it to be known as dramatic -among those who are conversant with such things. The interpretative -clause of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, sec. 2, declares that 'dramatic piece' within -the Act includes 'tragedy, comedy, play, opera, farce, or any other scenic, -musical, or dramatic entertainment.' These words comprehend any piece -which could be called dramatic in its widest sense, any piece which on -its being presented by any performer to an audience would produce the -emotions which are the purpose of the regular drama, and which constitute -the entertainment of the audience."</p></blockquote> - -<p>In <i>Clark</i> v. <i>Bishop</i><a id="FNanchor_685" href="#Footnote_685" class="fnanchor">[685]</a> an original song, "Come to Peckham -Rye," was composed and set to an old air. It was sung at music -halls with appropriate character dress, gesture, and expression. -The Court were of opinion that it was a dramatic piece, within -the meaning of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45. Kelly, C. B., said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The plaintiff, by his powers of singing, acting, and characterisation, -had made this song a thing of value, not as a song merely, but as acted -by him in character, and so as a dramatic piece."</p></blockquote> - -<p>In <i>Wall</i> v. <i>Taylor</i><a id="FNanchor_686" href="#Footnote_686" class="fnanchor">[686]</a> it was suggested that by reason of the -interpretation clause in 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, sec. 2, every musical -entertainment whatsoever was a "dramatic piece," but Brett, -M. R., refused to accept this view. In <i>Roberts</i> v. <i>Bignell</i>,<a id="FNanchor_687" href="#Footnote_687" class="fnanchor">[687]</a> a very -imperfectly reported case, a divisional court (Day and Wills, JJ.) -held that a music hall song, "Oh, Jenny Dear!" the exact -nature of which is not apparent, was a "dramatic piece." The -leading case on this subject is now <i>Fuller</i> v. <i>Blackpool Winter -Gardens</i>,<a id="FNanchor_688" href="#Footnote_688" class="fnanchor">[688]</a> and in this the doctrine which seemed to have been -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_125">[125]</span> -growing up that every literary production with the least dramatic -flavour was a dramatic piece received a check. The subject of -this action was a popular music hall song called "Daisy Bell." -The song was sung in character costume, and the inference to -be drawn from the song itself and from the evidence was that it -was a composition intended for the stage either of the theatre or -of music halls. The Court of Appeal, sustaining the judgment -of Kennedy, J., held that the song was not a dramatic piece. -Lord Esher, M. R., said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The fact that it is sung in costume does not make it a dramatic -piece. If the dress of the singer could have that operation, the singer -and not the author of the song would be the person who caused it to be a -dramatic piece. The same may be said of the manner in which the -singer treats the song. The question must be what was the character -of the composition when it was first written and published. I can quite -understand that it is possible that a thing to be performed by one person -only may be a dramatic piece. But whether the composition is to be -sung by one or more persons, if a song is sung, and only a song, there is -no performance of a dramatic piece."</p></blockquote> - -<p>A. L. Smith, L. J., after reviewing the previous cases, says:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It is not necessary to determine whether each of these cases was -rightly decided or whether the reasons given in each for holding the song -to be a dramatic piece are satisfactory. Every case must depend upon -its own attendant circumstances. In each case it is a question of fact. -I think that to constitute a song a dramatic piece it must be such a song -that for its proper representation, acting, and possibly scenery, formed a -necessary ingredient, and that if neither of these be a requisite to the -efficient representation of the song it is not a dramatic piece. It is an -entire misnomer to call a mere common, ordinary, music-hall song, -which required neither acting nor scenery for its production, a dramatic -piece, for it is in truth nothing of the kind."</p></blockquote> - -<p>The result then seems to be that "dramatic" must not be used -in the widest sense of the term as suggested by Lord Denman, -C. J., in <i>Russell</i> v. <i>Smith</i>,<a id="FNanchor_689" href="#Footnote_689" class="fnanchor">[689]</a> and that the test is not that of dramatic -or epic in the sense in which Lord Bacon applies the words -to poetry. There must be more than the dramatic flavour, -there must be the dramatic form; that is to say, the work must -be so constructed as to be obviously intended for reproduction -by means of acting with scenic effect. This test will apply -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_126">[126]</span> -equally to non-musical as to musical works. A case in point -is that of the novel in <i>Toole</i> v. <i>Young</i>.<a id="FNanchor_690" href="#Footnote_690" class="fnanchor">[690]</a> The facts as stated in -the judgment are:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"that Mr. Hollingshead wrote a story which he published in a work -called <i>Good Words</i>, and having in his mind at the time he wrote and -published it the intention of afterwards dramatizing the story, he composed -it very much of a dramatic character."</p></blockquote> - -<p>Yet it was held that it was no infringement of the author's -right to put this novel into dramatic form and represent it on -the stage. If the novel could have been considered a dramatic -piece on account of its "dramatic character," it ought to have -been protected against the performance of an adaptation. Mr. -Scrutton in his book on copyright considers that "the dramatic -character consists in the representative as opposed to the narrative -element:" but this seems rather a return to the older -theory in <i>Russell</i> v. <i>Smith</i><a id="FNanchor_691" href="#Footnote_691" class="fnanchor">[691]</a> and contrary to <i>Fuller</i> v. <i>Blackpool -Winter Gardens</i>.<a id="FNanchor_692" href="#Footnote_692" class="fnanchor">[692]</a> For instance, a poem, song, or piece for -recitation may be representative in that it depicts action and -dialogue rather than narrates events: this according to <i>Russell</i> -v. <i>Smith</i><a id="FNanchor_693" href="#Footnote_693" class="fnanchor">[693]</a> would constitute it a "dramatic piece," but according -to <i>Fuller</i> v. <i>Blackpool Winter Gardens</i><a id="FNanchor_694" href="#Footnote_694" class="fnanchor">[694]</a> we must find not only the -"representative element" but an element which requires acting -in order to represent it adequately.<a id="FNanchor_695" href="#Footnote_695" class="fnanchor">[695]</a></p> - -<h3><span class="smcap">Section IV.—What Dramatic Works are Protected: -Duration of Protection.</span></h3> - -<p>It has been suggested by some writers that there is no -statutory protection of performing rights until first representation -in public.<a id="FNanchor_696" href="#Footnote_696" class="fnanchor">[696]</a> It has also been suggested that the duration -of performing right is in every case for the period laid down by -5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, <i>i. e.</i> forty-two years from first performance -or the author's life plus seven years. It is difficult to concur -in these views, which seem to imply that 5 & 6 Vict. has taken -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_127">[127]</span> -away from the dramatic author certain rights given to him by -3 & 4 Will.

In neither case is the performing -right dependent for its existence on public performance.<a id="FNanchor_698" href="#Footnote_698" class="fnanchor">[698]</a> -Then comes the Act of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, which enacts in -section 20—</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"that the provisions of the said Act of His late Majesty (3 & 4 Will.

It is submitted that it does -not, and this appears to be the view of Hawkins, J., in <i>Reichardt</i><span class="pagenum" id="Page_128">[128]</span> -v. <i>Sapte</i>,<a id="FNanchor_700" href="#Footnote_700" class="fnanchor">[700]</a> the only decision on the point. In that case A -wrote a dramatic piece, B subsequently wrote one very similar: -B's drama was first performed, and a few days afterwards A's -drama was performed. In an action by B against A for infringement -of performing right, Hawkins, J., held that A had acquired -his performing right under 3 & 4 Will. IV. when he wrote -his drama. He says:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"In none of the enactments in 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 will be found anything -which prejudicially affects the right of sole representation conferred -by the statute of 3 & 4 Will IV. c. 15. The first production of a -dramatic piece mentioned in section 20 of the statute of Victoria confers -no priority upon the first producer, nor does it confer a title to the sole -liberty of representation. That is conferred by the statute 3 & 4 -Will. IV. c. 15 upon the author or his assignee: it<a id="FNanchor_701" href="#Footnote_701" class="fnanchor">[701]</a> only fixes the first -production as the point from which (if entitled to it) the endurance of the -sole liberty of representation is to be calculated."</p></blockquote> - -<p>What Hawkins, J., decided was that there is a vested statutory -interest in a dramatic piece immediately it is composed, and -although it is not quite clear from his judgment, it seems necessarily -to follow that the whole rights and remedies given by -3 & 4 Will.

When a dramatic work is performed, no doubt the protection -to performing right is restricted as well as extended to -the period given by 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, <i>i. e.</i> forty-two years from -the date of first performance, or life and seven years: but as -regards unperformed works, it is submitted that the performing -right is given by 3 & 4 Will.

The alternative -views are that "publication" in the section means: (i) a putting -before the public in any form, whether by representation or in -print, or (ii) as regards copyright, a publication in print, as -regards performing right, a publication by representation. I am -inclined to think that the second alternative is the correct one, -and that the performing right in this country is not lost. The -contrary, however, seems to have been assumed in <i>Boucicault</i> v. -<i>Chatterton</i>,<a id="FNanchor_705" href="#Footnote_705" class="fnanchor">[705]</a> both by the bench and bar.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_130">[130]</span> -</p> -<p><i>Dramatic or Musical Work first published in the British Dominions, -subsequently first performed in America.</i>—This problem depends -on the same two alternatives as the last.

It is curious that "musical compositions" -are omitted from this saving clause, whereas in nearly -every other part of the Act "dramatic piece and musical compositions" -are dealt with together. The arguments against -registration being a condition precedent are, (1) the first part of -section 24 relates only to copyright which does not include -performing right; (2) section 20 does not extend the provisions -of section 24 to performing right, since it only applies -the provisions "<i>before</i> enacted."

R., said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Did the legislature intend to forbid a representation without the -author's consent by children in a nursery before their parents, or by -grown-up persons in a drawing-room? It is clear that something more -than that must have been intended; and why should not a representation -of that kind be called a dramatic entertainment? Because it is -obviously domestic and private. Suppose that the servants of the household -are invited to witness the performance; nevertheless it is a domestic -entertainment. As I have already intimated, the author wants protection -for the pecuniary value of his drama, and a representation in a private -room is of no pecuniary value. In order to entitle the author to -penalties there must be a representation which will injure the author's -right to money; such, for instance, as a representation which, although -it is not for profit, would attract persons who are willing to pay money, -and would induce them not to go and see a performance licensed by the -author. Suppose that a representation in the presence of friends takes -place for the amusement of friends and of the members of the household -in an unfurnished house hired for the occasion: that is not an infringement -of the statute: the representation must be other than domestic or -private. There must be present a sufficient part of the public who would -go also to a performance licensed by the author as a commercial transaction; -otherwise the place where the drama is represented will not be a -'place of dramatic entertainment' within the meaning of the statute. -Suppose that a drama is represented in a county town, and that all -persons of a certain class throughout the county are free to come: -suppose that a member for a parliamentary constituency (I do not mean -shortly before or during an election) organises dramatic entertainments to -which the inhabitants are admitted without paying: suppose that an -amateur company choose to act some drama for a charitable object, with -admission upon payment or by tickets issued generally: in each of these -instances an infringement of the statute has been committed.... I wish -to say, by way of warning, that those who go beyond the facts of the -present case may incur the penalties of the statute."</p></blockquote> - -<p>This case is most instructive as being quite on the border -line between a private and public representation. Performing -right in a drama may be infringed by a representation without -scenery and appropriate dresses.</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"We should take away a part of the protection conferred on authors -if we hold that there could be no public representation without these -accompaniments."<a id="FNanchor_749" href="#Footnote_749" class="fnanchor">[749]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_138">[138]</span></p> - -<p><b>Substantial Part.</b>—As in literary copyright the part taken -must be material and substantial in order to infringe performing -right. In <i>Chatterton</i> v. <i>Cave</i>,<a id="FNanchor_750" href="#Footnote_750" class="fnanchor">[750]</a> Lord Chief Justice Coleridge at the -trial found as a fact "that two scenes or points of the drama of -the defendant had been taken directly from the drama of the -plaintiff;" there was no further copying. He thereupon gave -judgment for the defendant. On a rule for a new trial, Lord -Coleridge, sitting in the Court of Common Pleas, stated orally -that what he meant to convey by his finding was, "that looking -to the general character of the plaintiff's and defendant's dramas, -the extent to which the one was taken from the other was so -slight, and the effect upon the total composition was so small, -that there was no substantial and material taking of any one -portion of the defendant's drama from any portion of the -plaintiff's." On this explanation the rule was discharged, and -the judgment subsequently affirmed by the Court of Appeal and -the House of Lords. Lord Hatherley said that the principle -<i>de minimis non curat lex</i> applied to a supposed wrong in taking -a part of dramatic works as well as in reproducing a part of a -book. He could not read the word "part" in the Dramatic -Copyright Act as "particle," so that the crowing of the cock in -"Hamlet," or the introduction of a line in the dialogue might be -held to be an invasion. In <i>Planché</i> v. <i>Braham</i>,<a id="FNanchor_751" href="#Footnote_751" class="fnanchor">[751]</a> Tindal, C. J., -directed the jury that if either one song, or more than one song -be taken from a piece and be performed on the stage or any -place of theatrical entertainment, that would be a "representing" -within the Act of Parliament. The jury, having found that -the defendant had represented "a part of the plaintiff's opera," -a rule for a new trial was refused.<a id="FNanchor_752" href="#Footnote_752" class="fnanchor">[752]</a> In <i>Beere</i> v. <i>Ellis</i>,<a id="FNanchor_753" href="#Footnote_753" class="fnanchor">[753]</a> two plays -purported to be founded on the same novel. The defendant's -play contained some of the dialogue and several dramatic incidents -and situations taken directly from the plaintiff's play. -Baron Pollock held that a small piece of dialogue would not -alone amount to an infringement, but the defendant had taken -two dramatic incidents on which the plot of the play depended. -He had therefore taken a material part, and although he had done -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_139">[139]</span> -a considerable quantity of work for himself, he had "extracted -the plums" from the plaintiff's work, and this he was not entitled -to do. An indirect taking is, as in literary copyright, an infringement, -<i>e. g.</i> to copy and perform passages from a play by dramatizing -a novel founded on that play.<a id="FNanchor_754" href="#Footnote_754" class="fnanchor">[754]</a> It is no infringement to -produce a play almost identically similar to that of another -author, if this is the result of coincidence and not of any piracy -direct or indirect.<a id="FNanchor_755" href="#Footnote_755" class="fnanchor">[755]</a> As to the taking of a plan or idea, see the -chapter on infringement of literary copyright.<a id="FNanchor_756" href="#Footnote_756" class="fnanchor">[756]</a> There must be -more than the taking of a general idea or scheme. Lord Blackburn, -in <i>Chatterton</i> v. <i>Cave</i>,<a id="FNanchor_757" href="#Footnote_757" class="fnanchor">[757]</a> said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"An idea may be taken from a drama and used in forming another -without the representation of the second being a representation of any -part of the first. For example, I have no doubt that Sheridan in composing -'The Critic' took the idea from 'The Rehearsal,' but I think it -would be an abuse of language to say that those who represent 'The -Critic' represent 'The Rehearsal,' or any part thereof, and if it were left -to me to find the fact, I should without hesitation find that they did not. -On the other hand, in composing 'The Trip to Scarborough,' Sheridan -took so much from 'The Relapse,' that if it were left to me to find the -fact, I should find that those who represent 'The Trip to Scarborough' -do represent parts of 'The Relapse.'"</p></blockquote> - -<p><b>Causing to be Represented.</b>—The "penalty" prescribed by -the Act of 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 is recoverable from those who -"represent or cause to be represented" an unauthorised work. -Section 20 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 provides "that the sole liberty -of representing, or performing, or causing or permitting to be -represented or performed, any dramatic piece or musical composition, -shall endure," &c. Notice that this section uses the -word "permitting," whereas 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 only uses -"represent or cause to be represented." The later statute, however, -does not purport to extend the nature of performing right, -and therefore the word "permitting," if it have any meaning at -all, can only be explanatory of the words "cause to be represented" -in the earlier statute. When then does a person "cause -a dramatic piece to be represented"? Shortly, the answer -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_140">[140]</span> -probably is, that if he does not actually take part as an actor, -the defendant must be shown to have had some initiation in or -control over the performance. In <i>Parsons</i> v. <i>Chapman</i>,<a id="FNanchor_758" href="#Footnote_758" class="fnanchor">[758]</a> an -acting manager, who paid the performers' salaries, and was -entitled to dismiss them, was held to have caused a dramatic -piece to be represented within the meaning of 10 Geo. III. c. 28, -sec. 1. In <i>Russell</i> v. <i>Briant</i>,<a id="FNanchor_759" href="#Footnote_759" class="fnanchor">[759]</a> the defendant was the landlord of -"The Horns" Tavern, at Kennington. His premises included -a large assembly room which was hired for evening entertainments. -The defendant furnished the platform and the lights, and -allowed bills to be put up in the tavern, and tickets of admission -to be advertised to be sold at the bar. At one entertainment -a song, "The Ship on Fire," which in <i>Russell</i> v. <i>Smith</i><a id="FNanchor_760" href="#Footnote_760" class="fnanchor">[760]</a> was held -to be a copyright dramatic piece, was sung. It was held that -the defendant had not represented or caused to be represented -the dramatic piece in question. Wilde, C. J., said that no one -could be considered as an offender unless by himself or his agent -he actually took part in the representation. In <i>Lyon</i> v. <i>Knowles</i><a id="FNanchor_761" href="#Footnote_761" class="fnanchor">[761]</a> -the defendant let his theatre. He provided and paid for the -scenery, lights, printing, advertising, band, doorkeepers, scene-shifters, -and supernumeraries. His servants collected the money -at the door, and he retained half the gross profits to recoup -himself. The lessee brought his own company, and represented -pieces of his own choice, the defendant having no control over -any person employed in the representation. It was held that the -defendant had not caused the piece to be represented within the -meaning of the Acts. In <i>Marsh</i> v. <i>Conquest</i><a id="FNanchor_762" href="#Footnote_762" class="fnanchor">[762]</a> the defendant was -the proprietor of a theatre, and his son, the acting manager, -hired it for a "benefit." The Court held that the defendant -came within the statute. Erle, C. J., delivered the judgment of -the Court:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It appears that the defendant is the proprietor of the Grecian Theatre, -and the employer of the dramatic corps attached thereto; that his son, -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_141">[141]</span> -the stage manager, hired for his benefit-night the theatre, together with -the company of actors, and servants, and lights, for the sum of £30; and -that the son, in the defendant's theatre, and with the aid of his actors and -actresses, musicians, servants, lights, and other paraphernalia, represented -the dramatic piece in question, in violation of the plaintiff's sole and exclusive -right of representing or causing it to be represented. I think the -defendant is responsible for that representation. He was the proprietor -of the theatre, and had entire control over the establishment and all -belonging to it, and what was done by his son was done with his -permission."</p></blockquote> - -<p>In <i>Monaghan</i> v. <i>Taylor</i><a id="FNanchor_763" href="#Footnote_763" class="fnanchor">[763]</a> the defendant was the proprietor of -a music hall, and paid a singer to perform, leaving him his own -choice of songs. The singer sang a copyright song. The Court -held that the defendant came within the statute. This decision -would not now apply to musical performing right, since, by the -Musical Copyright Act of 1888, a proprietor is not liable unless -he permits the performance knowing it to be an infringement. -It is still applicable to dramatic performing rights. Suppose, for -instance, the proprietor of a variety theatre hired the services of -a troop of players, telling them to fill up twenty minutes on -the programme with any dramatic scene they pleased. If -they infringed a dramatic copyright, the proprietor would -be liable.</p> - -<p>It seems to be doubtful whether if B, acting entirely as the -agent of A, causes C and others to perform a dramatic piece, he -can be held liable if he took no part in the representation. In -<i>Parsons</i> v. <i>Chapman</i><a id="FNanchor_764" href="#Footnote_764" class="fnanchor">[764]</a> Lord Tenterden, C. J., directed the jury -that it was sufficient if the defendant caused the piece to be -performed; and that it made no difference that he did so as -an agent for others. This was a decision under 10 Geo. II. -c. 28, and the principle should be the same under 3 & 4 -Will. IV., and 5 & 6 Vict; but in <i>French</i> v. <i>Day</i><a id="FNanchor_765" href="#Footnote_765" class="fnanchor">[765]</a> Kennedy, -J., took a different view. One of the defendants was the -manager of a theatre. He received instructions for the production -of the piece in question from the proprietor, and he -could not engage or dismiss artistes; he was in every respect -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_142">[142]</span> -bound to conform to his employer's orders. Kennedy, J., -said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The whole thing was carried on by the proprietor, who merely used -the manager as his mouthpiece. I think I ought not to hold that a -person in his position 'represented,' or 'caused to be represented,' the -piece."</p></blockquote> - -<p><b>Knowledge.</b>—In an action for infringement of dramatic performing -right it is unnecessary to prove that the defendant knew -the performance was an infringement.<a id="FNanchor_766" href="#Footnote_766" class="fnanchor">[766]</a></p> - -<p><b>Innocent Agents.</b>—All the actors who take part in an unlawful -performance are within the section as "representing," and are -liable to penalties.<a id="FNanchor_767" href="#Footnote_767" class="fnanchor">[767]</a></p> - -<p><b>Licence.</b>—It is an infringement of performing right to perform -"without the consent in writing of the author or other -proprietor."<a id="FNanchor_768" href="#Footnote_768" class="fnanchor">[768]</a> See decisions on licence as to copyright in books.<a id="FNanchor_769" href="#Footnote_769" class="fnanchor">[769]</a> -The licence must be in writing,<a id="FNanchor_770" href="#Footnote_770" class="fnanchor">[770]</a> but it does not require to be -written by the proprietor or signed by him or any one else.<a id="FNanchor_771" href="#Footnote_771" class="fnanchor">[771]</a> -The secretary of a dramatic author's society may, if he has -authority, grant a good licence on behalf of the authors.<a id="FNanchor_772" href="#Footnote_772" class="fnanchor">[772]</a> A -part owner cannot grant a licence without the consent of the -other part owners.<a id="FNanchor_773" href="#Footnote_773" class="fnanchor">[773]</a></p> - -<h3><span class="smcap">Section X.—Infringement of Musical Performing -Rights.</span></h3> - -<p><b>Substantial Part.</b>—The rule that the taking of a part but not -of a particle in infringement applies equally to musical compositions -and to the performing rights therein. In <i>D'Almaine</i> -v. <i>Boosey</i><a id="FNanchor_774" href="#Footnote_774" class="fnanchor">[774]</a> the taking of airs from an opera and arranging them -as quadrilles and waltzes was held to be an infringement of the -copyright in the opera. Lord Lyndhurst said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Substantially the piracy is when the appropriated music, though -adapted to a different purpose from that of the original, may still be -recognised by the ear."</p></blockquote> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_143">[143]</span></p> - -<p>This test, however, will hardly apply to the piracy of an -adaptation where the air or melody is a non-copyright one. -A comparison of the actual notes and treatment of the phrases -would have to be made.</p> - -<p><b>Public Performance.</b>—It has been contended that the protection -afforded by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 to musical compositions -is only an exclusive right of performance in places -of dramatic entertainment. That is the protection given to -dramatic pieces, and it was said that 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, in -applying 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 to musical compositions did -not give them a wider protection than dramatic pieces had. -In <i>Wall</i> v. <i>Taylor</i><a id="FNanchor_775" href="#Footnote_775" class="fnanchor">[775]</a> the Court held that this view was wrong. -Bowen, L. J., said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"I think the answer is this, that what is called in the argument a -'condition' of recovering a penalty in sec. 2 of 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 is -nothing of the kind, but part of the definition of the offence upon which -the penalty is to be incurred.... The right granted is the privilege of -representing at places of dramatic entertainment.... Now sec. 20 -of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 creates a new right of property as to a musical composition, -and gives the author and his assigns the sole liberty of representing -or performing it. That is the right given, and sec. 21 says -that the person who shall have that right 'shall have and enjoy the -remedies given and provided' in the Act of 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15. -Why read into that word 'remedies' that the second section of that Act -is only to be put in force not where there is an infringement of that right, -but where there has been a representation or performance at a place of -dramatic entertainment."</p></blockquote> - -<p>The view of Cotton, L.

Doubt has -consequently been raised as to whether a map must comply with -both the Engraving Acts and the Literary Act in order to obtain -protection, or whether it will be sufficient to comply with the -requirements of one only, and if so, which. The decided cases -are unsatisfactory. In <i>Stannard</i> v. <i>Lee</i><a id="FNanchor_797" href="#Footnote_797" class="fnanchor">[797]</a> protection was claimed -for a "Panoramic Bird's-eye view of France and Prussia," with the -railway and strategic positions illustrating the Franco-Prussian War -of 1870. This was not registered as a book under the Copyright -Act, 1842, and the objection was held to be fatal. The judges in -the Court of Appeal seemed to be of opinion that the Act of -1842 had taken maps, charts, and plans out of the protection of -the Engraving Acts and placed them under the protection of the -Literary Act, consequently that the requirements of the latter and -not of the Engraving Acts must be observed. James, L. J., -said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It was reasonable and proper to take a map out of the class of -artistic copyrights and to give to it the better and more complete copyright -which is intended to be given to literary works. And there would -be, as I have pointed out clearly, great inconvenience in having two laws -of copyright as to two sets of maps or as to the same set of maps."<a id="FNanchor_798" href="#Footnote_798" class="fnanchor">[798]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>Mellish, L.

Bacon, V. C., refused the petition, and indicated -in the course of his judgment that a map not registered -as a book might be protected as an engraving if the claim was -properly stated. The judgment in <i>Stannard</i> v. <i>Lee</i>,<a id="FNanchor_801" href="#Footnote_801" class="fnanchor">[801]</a> he said, had -gone on a question of pleading, the plaintiffs having voluntarily -brought their map under the category of books. This is by no -means a satisfactory explanation of the decision in the Court of -Appeal, as it is abundantly clear from the judgments as reported -that in the view of the Lords Justices the Copyright Act, 1842, -took maps, charts, and plans out of the category of artistic works -and placed them in the category of literary works. Whether this -is a correct view is another matter, but at present it would seem -to be law. It is submitted that the true view probably is that a -map may be protected under either Act if the requisite formalities -are observed. The Literary will probably give a wider protection -than the Engraving Acts. The Engraving Acts will protect -a map from infringement of the method of execution, that is to -say, the work which is the peculiar work of the engraver; while -the Literary Act will protect it not only from that, but from a -piratical taking of information imparted. Thus suppose a map -of India giving battles and dates and, say, the principal products -of the various districts marked with printed letters on the surface. -It is difficult to see how the taking of all these dates and products -and placing them perhaps printed in different letters on -the new map could be an infringement of the engraving copyright -in the map; there is nothing in the nature of a design or -drawing taken; and yet it is quite clear it will be an infringement -under the protection afforded by a literary copyright, because -there is a taking of the particular expression by which information -is imparted.</p> - -<p><i>Engravings in a book</i> are protected by the Copyright Act, 1842, -as part of the book, and, as such, do not require to comply with -the requirements of the Engraving Acts.<a id="FNanchor_802" href="#Footnote_802" class="fnanchor">[802]</a> The protection of a -print forming part of a book is probably a double one, and if it -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_150">[150]</span> -had the name and date inscribed would be protected without -registration or notwithstanding faulty registration of the book.</p> - -<p><b>Must the Engraving be made within the British Dominions.</b>—The -Act 17 Geo.

That the plaintiff cannot draw himself is a matter -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_154">[154]</span> -wholly unimportant if he has caused other persons to draw for him. He -invents the subject of the design beyond all question. He prescribes the -proportions and the contents of the design; he furnishes a part of the -materials from which the drawing has to be made in the first instance, -and afterwards collects daily from the proper sources, and even, if it be -necessary to say so, from official sources, the decrees, the reports, the -bulletins and accounts contained in the newspapers of the different -phases of the war, and especially of the places in which earthworks are -thrown up.

Thus a photograph of an engraving -is an infringement of the copyright in it.<a id="FNanchor_860" href="#Footnote_860" class="fnanchor">[860]</a></p> - -<p>It is doubtful how far the Engraving Acts protect the design -in an engraving. It is clear that when an engraving is taken -from a work of art previously existing, such as a pen and ink -drawing or a painting, the engraving is only copyright so far as -the work of the engraver<a id="FNanchor_861" href="#Footnote_861" class="fnanchor">[861]</a> is concerned; that is to say, apart -from the copyright in the drawing or painting, which may or -may not be his, the engraver acquires no monopoly<a id="FNanchor_862" href="#Footnote_862" class="fnanchor">[862]</a> of the -right to engrave the picture; the fact of his being the first -engraver does not prevent others from doing the same, they -can only be prevented from copying from his engraving the -peculiar execution of the design. In <i>Dicks</i> v. <i>Brooks</i><a id="FNanchor_863" href="#Footnote_863" class="fnanchor">[863]</a> a printed -pattern for Berlin wool work was taken from an engraving of -the well-known picture "The Huguenot," by Millais. The -owner of the copyright in the engraving sued for infringement. -It was held that the printed pattern constituted no infringement -of his engraving; it contained no reproduction of that which -was the engraver's meritorious work in the print. But if the -whole invention and design of the engraving is the engraver's -own do the Engraving Acts protect the engraver in such design -and invention? There is no authority where the point has -been expressly considered and decided. It is suggested that -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_158">[158]</span> -the Engraving Acts protect that part of an engraving only which -is the result of the engraver's peculiar art; for the rest, for the -design, for the invention, for the grouping of the figures, protection -can only be obtained under the Act protecting drawings, or -(in the case of maps) under the Literary Copyright Act, or at -common law. In <i>Roworth</i> v. <i>Wilkes</i><a id="FNanchor_864" href="#Footnote_864" class="fnanchor">[864]</a> Lord Ellenborough considered -a copying of the design was an infringement of copyright -under the Engraving Acts. The action was in respect of -an alleged infringement of certain plates in a treatise on fencing. -These plates had been copied in so far as the position of the -figures went, but they were represented as differently dressed. -His Lordship, in directing the jury, said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"As to the prints, the question will be whether the defendant has -copied the main design ... it is still to be considered whether there be -such a similitude and conformity between the prints that the person who -executed the one set must have used the others as a model. In that case -he is a copyist of the main design. But if the similitude can be supposed -to have arisen from accident, or necessarily from the nature of the subject, -or from the artist having sketched designs merely from reading the letterpress -of the plaintiffs work, the defendant is not answerable. It is -remarkable, however, that he has given no evidence to explain the -similitude or to repel the presumption which that necessarily causes."</p></blockquote> - -<p>In <i>Martin</i> v. <i>Wright</i><a id="FNanchor_865" href="#Footnote_865" class="fnanchor">[865]</a> it was held that when an artist had from -sketches of his own produced an engraving, and the defendant -had it copied on canvas in colours on a very large scale, with -dioramic effect, and publicly exhibited it, such a copying and -exhibiting was no infringement of the engraving. The ground -of this decision seems to have been partly that the merit -of the new work had absorbed the merit of the old. Thus -Shadwell, V. C., prefaces his judgment with the remark that -"any person may copy and publish the whole of a literary -composition provided he writes notes upon it, so as to -present it to the public connected with matter of his own."<a id="FNanchor_866" href="#Footnote_866" class="fnanchor">[866]</a> -Another ground of the decision seems to have been that the -diorama was produced for purposes of exhibition and not of -sale. The real point, whether the Acts protected more than that -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_159">[159]</span> -which was peculiar to the engraver's art, does not appear to have -been considered either in the argument or judgment. In <i>Dicks</i> -v. <i>Brooks</i><a id="FNanchor_867" href="#Footnote_867" class="fnanchor">[867]</a> James, L. J., appears to have been of opinion that -8 Geo. II. c. 3, in protecting the work of an engraver where the -invention and design was his own, protected not only the work -peculiar to the engraver's art, but the invention and design of -the pictures as well.</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"These words were intended to give protection for the genius exhibited -in the invention of the design, and the protection was commensurate -with the invention and design."<a id="FNanchor_868" href="#Footnote_868" class="fnanchor">[868]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>Bramwell, L. J., however, seems inclined towards the opposite -view. He says:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"I do not say that if this were an ordinary engraving with no picture, -a lithograph taken from it would not be a copy. I think that a photograph -taken from it would be a copy. I do not say that if this were an -original engraving with no picture, and a copy were made of it and afterwards -coloured there might not be some ground for saying that there was -a piracy of the art and skill of the engraver. I should have very great -misgiving about it, because I doubt whether the statutes were not intended -to protect the artist's skill as an engraver only, and not as a -draftsman."<a id="FNanchor_869" href="#Footnote_869" class="fnanchor">[869]</a></p></blockquote> - -<p>It is no defence to an action for infringement that the work -has been extensively added to or improved.<a id="FNanchor_870" href="#Footnote_870" class="fnanchor">[870]</a></p> - -<p>Striking prints from the proprietor's own plate has been -held not to be an infringement, although it was clearly an -unauthorised act and a breach of contract.<a id="FNanchor_871" href="#Footnote_871" class="fnanchor">[871]</a> Thus a printer who -had plates in his possession would not infringe the copyright -and be liable to penalties by striking copies for his own use, but -he would be liable in damages for breach of contract.</p> - -<p><i>Licence a Defence.</i>—A licence in order to be a defence must be -in writing signed by the proprietor in the presence of two or -more credible witnesses,<a id="FNanchor_872" href="#Footnote_872" class="fnanchor">[872]</a> but a licensee who is also a purchaser -of any plates for printing may presumably without any document -in writing print from the said plates without incurring penalties<a id="FNanchor_873" href="#Footnote_873" class="fnanchor">[873]</a><span class="pagenum" id="Page_160">[160]</span> -under 8 Geo.

The -whole work need not be original. Thus the execution may be -original but not the design, as in the case of a photograph of an -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_168">[168]</span> -old picture;<a id="FNanchor_919" href="#Footnote_919" class="fnanchor">[919]</a> or part only of the design may be original, as in -the case of the design of an old drawing added to or altered.

It was held that any one who had a -right to sell Farina's Eau de Cologne might manufacture and -use the label, since although the label was a trade mark there -was no copyright in it. A label with anything in the nature of -a picture on it would undoubtedly be copyright, as the use to -which a work of art is put is immaterial, but it is doubtful -whether a label containing merely geometrical figures and fancy -dots and lines would be protected under the Act of 1862. Probably -it would not.</p> - -<p><b>Publication outside the British Dominions.</b>—Copyright in -works of art under the Act of 1862 begins on the making thereof, -and is not dependent on publication. It is immaterial where -the work is made, whether in the British dominions or elsewhere, -and it would be as immaterial where it was first published, -or whether it was published or not, but for the provision -of the International Copyright Act, 1844. Section 19 of this Act -provides that the maker of a work of art which shall be first -published out of the British dominions shall not have copyright -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_169">[169]</span> -therein otherwise than such as he may become entitled to under -the International Acts; which means that where there is no -treaty a work first published abroad is not protected at all. The -result of this section was evidently not contemplated when the -Fine Arts Act, 1862, was framed. There seems to be no doubt -that the work, wherever made, will acquire copyright immediately -on the making, but that that copyright may be lost if the -work is published abroad before it is published in the British -dominions.</p> - -<p><i>Published</i>.—A painting, drawing, or photograph is probably -published when it is so exhibited as to give the public an -opportunity of viewing it. The leading case on publication of -works of art is <i>Turner</i> v. <i>Robinson</i><a id="FNanchor_923" href="#Footnote_923" class="fnanchor">[923]</a> in the Court of Chancery in -Ireland. This case was decided before 1862, and therefore -before there was any statutory copyright in paintings. The -subject-matter was a painting from which certain stereoscopic -views had been taken without the proprietor's consent. The -painting had been previously, with the consent of the proprietor, -published in the form of an engraving in a magazine, and exhibited -at the Royal Academy in London and in Manchester. It -was then exhibited with the proprietor's consent in Dublin for -the purpose of obtaining contributors to a proposed engraving, -and while so exhibited the defendant, without consent, copied -it and produced his stereoscopic photographs. The Master of -the Rolls<a id="FNanchor_924" href="#Footnote_924" class="fnanchor">[924]</a> thought that the picture had never been published, -because the exhibitions to the public in the Academies and in -Dublin were on the condition that no copies should be taken, -and the engraving in the magazine was not a publication of the -picture, but only of a rough representation of it. He therefore -held that the common law right in the picture had not been lost -by publication, and that the proprietor could recover against -the taker of the stereoscopic views as against an infringer of -common law rights. The Court of Appeal in Chancery upheld -the judgment of the Master of the Rolls, but on different -grounds. They said it was unnecessary to decide whether -there had been publication in London and Manchester since, -in their opinion, the act of the defendant in taking stereoscopic -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_170">[170]</span> -views from the painting was a breach of faith. He was admitted -to the view in Dublin for one purpose only, <i>i. e.</i> to -become if he wished a subscriber to an engraving; but he -abused his privilege by taking a copy of the painting which -might well compete with the plaintiff's proposed engraving. -The defendant was, therefore, restrained on the ground of -breach of faith or implied contract. In his judgment the Lord -Chancellor disapproved of the view of the Master of the Rolls -that there had been no publication in London or Manchester. -He thought exhibition in the Academy, even although to a -certain extent conditional, would be sufficient publication to -vest the copyright, <i>e. g.</i> in a work of sculpture under the -statutes applicable to such works. Exhibition in a public -gallery, therefore, would be publication, but not a private view -in the artist's studio to which only a small and selected portion -of the public are invited. Whether the publication of a print -would be publication of the picture from which it was taken, -<i>quære</i>; the Master of the Rolls thought not, and on this point -the Court of Appeal neither approved nor disapproved.</p> - -<p><b>Nationality or Residence of Artist</b>.—The protection of the -Act is expressly limited to the works of British subjects and of -such foreigners as are resident within the dominions of the -Crown.<a id="FNanchor_925" href="#Footnote_925" class="fnanchor">[925]</a> There is no direction in the statute as to the time -when the author must possess the requisite nationality or -residence. Must it be at the time of making or at the time -of publishing, or both? It is submitted that it must be at the -time of making, since copyright in the work vests at that time, -and there may never be publication at all. There seems to be -no reason for suggesting that the date to be looked at is the date -of publication, except that the next words in the section provide -that the work may be made anywhere, and the proviso as to the -residence of the author, if applied at the date of making, means -that—</p> - -<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">1.

Thus an infringement need -not even be a kind of work which would be protected by this -Act. Although there is no direct authority, it is clear from -section 2, which gives the exclusive right to the design of the -work protected, that an engraving would be an infringement -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_182">[182]</span> -of a painting, drawing, or photograph, and so perhaps might a -piece of sculpture.<a id="FNanchor_999" href="#Footnote_999" class="fnanchor">[999]</a> Then again the design may not be copyright, -for instance, in the case of a photograph of a non-copyright -picture, and yet it would be an infringement to take a -photograph of such a photograph. That would be a taking of -the method of execution.<a id="FNanchor_1000" href="#Footnote_1000" class="fnanchor">[1000]</a></p> - -<p>The infringement must be an artistic work of some kind, <i>i. e.</i> -such a work that would be protected if not under the Act of 1862, -under the Engraving Acts or Sculpture Act. In <i>Hanfstaengl</i> v. -<i>Empire Palace</i><a id="FNanchor_1001" href="#Footnote_1001" class="fnanchor">[1001]</a> the Court held that the grouping of people on a -stage so as to form <i>tableaux vivants</i> was not an infringement -in the copyright of a picture thus represented. Kay, L. J., in -his judgment, said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Could it possibly have been said the <i>tableaux vivants</i> were pictures -within the sense of this Act, and does not a reproduction mean something -in which, if the original author of the painting had himself produced it, he -might have had copyright."</p></blockquote> - -<p><i>General Idea may be Taken.</i>—It is not an infringement to -take merely the general idea of subject-matter and treatment -from a copyright work of art. In <i>Hanfstaengl</i> v. <i>Baines</i>,<a id="FNanchor_1002" href="#Footnote_1002" class="fnanchor">[1002]</a> the -<i>tableaux vivants</i> which were the subject of the last case cited -were sketched and reproduced in the <i>Daily Graphic</i>. It was -contended that these sketches infringed the copyright in -the pictures from which the <i>tableaux vivants</i> were taken. -The House of Lords, affirming the judgment of the Court of -Appeal, held that they did not. Lord Herschell, L. C., in giving -judgment, pointed out that the essence of the design varied -according to the nature of the picture. Sometimes it might be -principally in the grouping of the figures, sometimes in the -pose and countenances. Referring to one of the sketches complained -of, he said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"There is no doubt a resemblance between the sketch and the photograph -from the painting. In each case a young man and a young woman -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_183">[183]</span> -are standing beside one another close to a stile or fence. In each case -the woman is shading her head by a parasol, and the dress of the man is -somewhat similar in the two, but the idea of a young man courting a -young woman at a country stile is of great antiquity. It has often formed -the subject of pictorial representation. This cannot be said to be the -design of the plaintiff's painting within the meaning of the Act. Much -more must be comprehended than this. There can only be a copy of -such design if the treatment of the subject be the same. Now, comparing -the sketch of the photograph from the painting, I do not think this can -be said to be the case. The faces are different, the dress especially in -the case of the woman is different, the pose is different, the attitudes are -different, the backgrounds are different, and in the case of the sketch the -foreground is wanting. In the artistic design all these things play a part, -although I do not say that a variation in one or even more of these -respects would prevent the sketch being a copy of the design. Yet, comparing -the two and considering the design of the painting as a whole, I -cannot avoid the conclusion that the sketch is not a copy of the painting -or of the design thereof, and therefore there has been no infringement."</p></blockquote> - -<p>His lordship concluded by saying that such questions really -depended on the effect produced on the mind by a study of the -picture and of that which is alleged to be a copy of it. In -<i>Guggenheim</i> v. <i>Leng</i><a id="FNanchor_1003" href="#Footnote_1003" class="fnanchor">[1003]</a> the plaintiff was the owner of the copyright -in a photograph of a football team. The defendant, without -authority, made from the photograph rough sketches of the -various individual portraits, and published them in his newspaper. -It was held not to be an infringement.</p> - -<p><i>Material Part.</i>—There is no piracy of an artistic work unless -a material part of the work is taken. What amounts to a material -part must be a question of fact in each case, and it is impossible -to lay down any definite rule. In <i>Moore</i> v. <i>Clarke</i><a id="FNanchor_1004" href="#Footnote_1004" class="fnanchor">[1004]</a> a horse was -taken from a copyright print and inserted in another print among -different surroundings. In the second print the horse appeared -to be going in a different direction, and the jockey on his back -was differently dressed. The judge directed the jury to consider -whether the defendant's engraving was substantially a copy of -the plaintiff's, and the jury came to the conclusion that it was -not. In <i>Brooks</i> v. <i>Religious Tract Society</i><a id="FNanchor_1005" href="#Footnote_1005" class="fnanchor">[1005]</a> a collie dog, identical -in expression, attitude, and position, was, together with a wall in -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_184">[184]</span> -the background and a table, taken from a copyright picture and -inserted in a woodcut. The woodcut differed from the picture -in that the figure of a child was omitted, and in its place two -cats and a tortoise and other details were inserted.

It is not proposed here to -deal with the colonial local Acts. They are of interest only in -the various colonies themselves. This chapter will be restricted -to the rights of a work published in one part of the British -dominions to receive protection in any other part of the British -dominions. This is controlled by the Imperial Copyright -Acts, which extend since 1886 to every British Possession, and -protect works published anywhere therein apart from any local -legislation.</p> - -<p><b>Books.</b>—Before 1886, the Copyright Act, 1842, although it -applied to the whole of the British dominions, only protected -those books which were first published in the United Kingdom. -A book, therefore, published first, say in Canada or Australia, -received no copyright protection except by local legislation, if -any, within the territory of the particular colony where it was -first published.</p> - -<p>A book first published in the United Kingdom was protected -in every British colony, not only against copying but against -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_187">[187]</span> -the importation of reprints. The smaller and poorer colonies -found this a considerable grievance. They alleged that they -were unable to afford the price of English books, and that -as they were prohibited from importing foreign reprints and -had little or no contemporary literature of their own, they -were reduced to reading the classics or nothing at all. The -Colonial Copyright Act, 1847,<a id="FNanchor_1017" href="#Footnote_1017" class="fnanchor">[1017]</a> was passed to give them relief. -It enacts that when reasonable protection to the British author -shall be provided in any British possession by the legislature -of such possession, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, -declare that so long as such protecting provision shall be in -force all Acts prohibiting the importation or sale or hire of -foreign copies shall be in respect of such possession suspended. -Altogether twenty colonies<a id="FNanchor_1018" href="#Footnote_1018" class="fnanchor">[1018]</a> have taken advantage of this Act. -It has been found, however, that the protecting provisions are of -little value, and that the duties which are supposed to be levied -on foreign reprints for the benefit of the British author are -continually evaded, and the colonies under the Foreign Reprints -Act are overrun with foreign reprints of popular books which, -coming in practically free of duty, make the authors' copyright -in such colonies absolutely valueless.</p> - -<p>Books first published in the colonies received Imperial -protection in 1886, when the International Copyright Act<a id="FNanchor_1019" href="#Footnote_1019" class="fnanchor">[1019]</a> of -that year was passed. It enacts that the Copyright Acts shall -apply to a literary or artistic work first produced in a British -Possession in like manner as they apply to a work first produced -in the United Kingdom,<a id="FNanchor_1020" href="#Footnote_1020" class="fnanchor">[1020]</a> with a proviso, firstly, that the enactments -as to registration shall not apply if the law of the Possession -in question provides for registration; and, secondly, that no -delivery of copies shall be required. There is also a provision -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_188">[188]</span> -for evidence of colonial copyright by certified extract from the -colonial register.</p> - -<p><i>Canada</i> came under the Foreign Reprints Act, and, as a -result, was so inundated with cheap reprints from the United -States that the Canadian publishers, in 1875, obtained a local -Act for their protection.<a id="FNanchor_1021" href="#Footnote_1021" class="fnanchor">[1021]</a> This Act enacts that works of which -the copyright has been granted and is subsisting in the United -Kingdom, and copyright of which is not secured or subsisting -in Canada under any Canadian or provincial Act, shall, upon -being printed and published or reprinted and republished in -Canada, be entitled to copyright under the Canadian Act.<a id="FNanchor_1022" href="#Footnote_1022" class="fnanchor">[1022]</a> It -prohibits <i>inter alia</i> copying and importation of foreign copies, -but nothing in the Act is to be held to prohibit the importation -from the United Kingdom of copies of such works legally printed -there. The Canadian Act is confirmed by an Imperial Act, the -Canada Copyright Act, 1875,<a id="FNanchor_1023" href="#Footnote_1023" class="fnanchor">[1023]</a> and this enacts that the Canadian -copies of a British book may not be imported into the United -Kingdom without the author's consent.</p> - -<p>Although Canada came under the Foreign Reprints Act, 1847,<a id="FNanchor_1024" href="#Footnote_1024" class="fnanchor">[1024]</a> -and in accordance therewith imposed duties on foreign reprints -for the benefit of the owner of the copyright, the collection of -those duties has now been abandoned by the Tariff Customs -Act (Canada), 1894,<a id="FNanchor_1025" href="#Footnote_1025" class="fnanchor">[1025]</a> the result of which is that as regards -Canada the provisions of the Imperial Copyright Act, 1842,<a id="FNanchor_1026" href="#Footnote_1026" class="fnanchor">[1026]</a> -section 17, are revived and the importation of foreign copies of -works having an Imperial copyright is again prohibited.<a id="FNanchor_1027" href="#Footnote_1027" class="fnanchor">[1027]</a> The -same result will occur in other colonies which may by statute -abandon their enactments for the collection of authors' -duties.</p> - -<p>The Canadian Legislature has recently passed a Copyright -Act<a id="FNanchor_1028" href="#Footnote_1028" class="fnanchor">[1028]</a> purporting to affect the importation into Canada of books -published under an Imperial Copyright. The Act provides that -if a book has acquired Imperial Copyright by first publication in -the British dominions outside Canada, and a licence has been -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_189">[189]</span> -granted for its reproduction in Canada, the Canadian Minister of -Agriculture may prohibit the importation into Canada of any -copies of such book printed out of Canada and imported without -the licensee's consent.</p> - -<p>I think it is doubtful whether the last-mentioned Act is not -<i>ultra vires</i> of the Canadian Legislature. The Canadians have, -since the British North American Act, 1867, claimed that they -have the exclusive power of legislating in respect of and -regulating copyright within the Dominion of Canada. This -claim, however, has not been recognised in the Canadian courts. -In <i>Smiles</i> v. <i>Belford</i><a id="FNanchor_1029" href="#Footnote_1029" class="fnanchor">[1029]</a> a book was copyrighted in England, but not -under the local Act of 1875 in Canada. An action was brought -by the proprietor to restrain a reprint of the book in Canada. -The defendants pleaded that the book was not protected in -Canada since it was not copyrighted under the local Act. They -argued that the British North American Act, in giving to the -Parliament of Canada "exclusive legislative authority" in certain -matters, including copyrights, excluded the operation of the -Imperial Acts in Canada. They further argued that the confirmation -of the Canadian Copyright Act, 1875, by the Imperial -Parliament impliedly repealed the Imperial Copyright Act of -1842 in so far as it extended to Canada. The Court held that -neither of these arguments was sound. With reference to the -argument on the British North American Act, Burton, J. A., in -the Court of Appeal, said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It is clear, I think, that all the Imperial Act intended to effect was -to place the right of dealing with colonial copyright within the Dominion -under the exclusive control of the Parliament of Canada, as distinguished -from the provincial legislatures.... I entirely concur with the learned -Vice-Chancellor in the opinion he has expressed that under that Act no -greater powers were conferred upon the Parliament of the Dominion to -deal with this subject than had been previously enjoyed by the local -legislatures."</p></blockquote> - -<p>As regards the Imperial Act confirming the Canada Copyright -Act, 1875, the Court held that it was passed merely to -resolve doubts which would otherwise have arisen as to whether -the Canada Copyright Act was not repugnant to the provisions -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_190">[190]</span> -of the Foreign Reprints Act, 1847, and the Order in Council -thereunder applicable to Canada. Burton, J. A., said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It is scarcely reasonable to suppose that if the Imperial Parliament -had thought fit to accept the Canadian enactment as a substitute for the -5 & 6 Vict. they would not have repealed it so far as it affected Canada -in express terms, or that when stating a reason for Imperial legislation -they would have confined themselves to a reference to the Order in -Council, which dealt only with a portion of the prohibition referred to in -that statute. I am of opinion, therefore, that they have stated the only -reason which rendered it expedient to seek a confirmation of the Provisional -Act, and that it was intended to preserve intact so much of the -Imperial Act as prohibits the printing of a British copyright work in -Canada, but giving to the author a further right on certain conditions of -securing a Canadian copyright and thus preventing the importation into -Canada of foreign reprints."</p></blockquote> - -<p>For some considerable time before the passing of the -Canadian Act of 1900, the Canadians were negotiating for a -clause in the Copyright Bill in this country enabling them to -pass a similar provision to that which they have now passed -without Imperial sanction. A clause was inserted in Lord -Monkswell's Literary Copyright Bill, 1900, proposing to give to -all the colonies such a power of protecting licensees. The -Canadians, however, impatient of the delay in copyright reform -in this country, passed their own Act without waiting to obtain -authority. It would certainly be satisfactory to see it confirmed -by an Imperial statute.</p> - -<p><i>Summary of Provisions in respect of Books.</i>—The result of -the various enactments with reference to the colonies is that, -as regards copying, every book first published in any part of -the British dominions is protected in every other part of the -British dominions. The book must be duly registered either -in the colony or dependency where it is produced, or, if such -colony or dependency does not provide a proper system of -registration, at Stationers' Hall in London. The protection -within the colony in which a book is first produced depends -on local legislation if such overrides the Imperial legislation. -As to importation of copies, the result is not so simple, but it -may be summarised thus:</p> - -<p>If a book has been first published anywhere within the -British dominions, the following prohibitions apply: -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_191">[191]</span></p> - -<p>I. <i>The United Kingdom.</i>—There shall not be imported into, -or sold in, without the consent in writing of the owner of the -copyright—</p> - -<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">Copies printed outside the British dominions.<a id="FNanchor_1030" href="#Footnote_1030" class="fnanchor">[1030]</a></span> -<span class="i0">Copies printed in Canada under the Canadian Act.<a id="FNanchor_1031" href="#Footnote_1031" class="fnanchor">[1031]</a></span> -</div></div> - -<p>II. <i>Canada.</i>—If the book has been printed and published, or -reprinted and republished,<a id="FNanchor_1032" href="#Footnote_1032" class="fnanchor">[1032]</a> and registered in Canada, there shall -not be imported into, or sold in, without the consent in writing -of the owner of the copyright—</p> - -<blockquote> -<p class="hang">Copies printed outside Canada<a id="FNanchor_1033" href="#Footnote_1033" class="fnanchor">[1033]</a> unless legally printed -in the United Kingdom under an Imperial copyright -existing prior to the acquirement of a Canadian local -copyright.<a id="FNanchor_1034" href="#Footnote_1034" class="fnanchor">[1034]</a></p> -</blockquote> - -<p>If a book has acquired Imperial copyright by first publication -within the British dominions outside Canada, and the owner of -the copyright has granted a licence to reproduce it in Canada, -there shall not be imported (if the Minister of Agriculture so -order) without the consent in writing of the Canadian licensee—</p> - -<blockquote> -<p>Copies printed outside Canada.<a id="FNanchor_1035" href="#Footnote_1035" class="fnanchor">[1035]</a></p> -</blockquote> - -<p>In other cases these shall not be imported or sold without -the written consent of the owner of the copyright—</p> - -<blockquote> -<p>Copies printed outside the British dominions.</p> -</blockquote> - -<p>III. <i>Colonies under the Act of 1847 other than Canada.</i>—There -is no prohibition except the nominal import duty on copies -printed outside the British dominions.</p> - -<p>IV. <i>Other Colonies.</i>—There shall not be imported into or sold -in without the consent in writing of the owner of the copyright—</p> - -<blockquote> -<p>Copies printed outside the British dominions.<a id="FNanchor_1036" href="#Footnote_1036" class="fnanchor">[1036]</a></p> -</blockquote> - -<p><b>Artistic Works.</b>—We have seen that since the International -Copyright Act, 1886, there is complete protection throughout -the whole of the British dominions for books first published -anywhere therein.

The Order in Council of 1887<a id="FNanchor_1068" href="#Footnote_1068" class="fnanchor">[1068]</a> makes no -provision as to registration and delivery, and revokes all the -previous Orders in Council which did. In <i>Fishburn</i> v. <i>Hollingshead</i><a id="FNanchor_1069" href="#Footnote_1069" class="fnanchor">[1069]</a> -the question came before the Court whether since 1886 -any registration or delivery was necessary.

His <i>ratio decidendi</i> was that a foreign work was -only entitled to the protection afforded to natives,<a id="FNanchor_1071" href="#Footnote_1071" class="fnanchor">[1071]</a> and the Act -of 1844<a id="FNanchor_1072" href="#Footnote_1072" class="fnanchor">[1072]</a> provided that all and singular the enactments of the -Copyright Acts in this country should apply to foreign works in -such and the same manner as if such works were published in the -United Kingdom. Charles, J., in <i>Hanfstaengl</i> v. <i>Holloway</i><a id="FNanchor_1073" href="#Footnote_1073" class="fnanchor">[1073]</a> differed -from this view, and finally the Court of Appeal in <i>Hanfstaengl</i> v. -<i>American Tobacco Company</i><a id="FNanchor_1074" href="#Footnote_1074" class="fnanchor">[1074]</a> held that no registration in this -country was necessary. The ground of this decision is that the -enactments of 1844 as to registration of foreign works superseded -the enactments of 1842, and when the provisions of 1844 -were repealed the provisions of 1842 did not revive. This -reasoning, which appears to be undoubtedly sound, applies -equally to the provisions as to delivery of copies. It does not, -however, apply to the question whether such formalities as the -name and date of publication on an engraving are necessary. -At present the position seems to be this. The reasoning of -Stirling, J., in <i>Fishburn</i> v. <i>Hollingshead</i><a id="FNanchor_1075" href="#Footnote_1075" class="fnanchor">[1075]</a> equally applies to the -formalities as to name and date on engravings and sculpture as it -does to registration and delivery. The judgment of Stirling, J., -was overruled in <i>Hanfstaengl</i> v. <i>American Tobacco Company</i><a id="FNanchor_1076" href="#Footnote_1076" class="fnanchor">[1076]</a> in -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_200">[200]</span> -the Court of Appeal, but on grounds which do not apply to these -formalities.

In <i>Chappell</i> v. <i>Sheard</i><a id="FNanchor_1133" href="#Footnote_1133" class="fnanchor">[1133]</a> the plaintiffs published a -song, the words of which were original, but set to an old American -air, "Lillie Dale," in which there was no copyright. This song -had become popular, and was sung at concerts by a Madame -Thillon. The plaintiffs published their song under the title of -"'Minnie,' sung by Madame Anna Thillon, written by George -Linley," and the cover bore a lithographed drawing of Madame -Thillon. The defendants set other words to the same air and published -it as "Minnie Dale," sung by Madame Thillon, and their -cover also bore a portrait of Madame Thillon. The defendants' -song had, in fact, never been sung by Madame Thillon. An injunction -was granted. In <i>Chappell</i> v. <i>Davidson</i><a id="FNanchor_1134" href="#Footnote_1134" class="fnanchor">[1134]</a> the same song was -similarly pirated by one intituled "Minnie, dear Minnie," and an -injunction was also granted.

Two years afterwards the defendant published a daily -newspaper, <i>The Daily London Journal</i>. The Court restrained him -from continuing the publication, but their judgment seems to -have gone on the ground of breach of covenant. In <i>Clowes</i> v. -<i>Hogg</i><a id="FNanchor_1138" href="#Footnote_1138" class="fnanchor">[1138]</a> the proprietors of <i>London Society</i> were held entitled to an -injunction against <i>English Society</i>, but this was also on the -ground of a covenant between the parties.

In both publications the word "Henry's" was published -in large letters, and was more conspicuous than any other -part of the title. The Court granted an injunction. James, L.

In <i>Jarrold</i> -v. <i>Houlston</i><a id="FNanchor_1142" href="#Footnote_1142" class="fnanchor">[1142]</a> an injunction was refused to the author of "Why and -Because," in respect of a similar work intituled "The Reason -Why."

In <i>Bradbury</i> v. <i>Beeton</i><a id="FNanchor_1143" href="#Footnote_1143" class="fnanchor">[1143]</a> the -proprietors of <i>Punch</i> craved an injunction against <i>Punch and -Judy</i>. There was, however, no evidence that any one had been -misled, and although the papers were similar in size and general -appearance, the colour of the paper was slightly different, and -the design on the cover was entirely different. Malins, V. C., -refused an injunction. In <i>Kelly</i> v. <i>Byles</i><a id="FNanchor_1144" href="#Footnote_1144" class="fnanchor">[1144]</a> the plaintiff had -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_212">[212]</span> -published numerous directories called "post office" directories. -Among them was "The Post Office Directory of the West Riding -of Yorkshire." An injunction was refused against the defendant -who proposed to issue a directory under the title "Post Office -Bradford Directory." The publications in no way resembled -one another. The plaintiff claimed that he had acquired an -exclusive use to the words "post office" in connection with a -directory. It was held that he could have no such exclusive -right. In <i>Dicks</i> v. <i>Yates</i><a id="FNanchor_1145" href="#Footnote_1145" class="fnanchor">[1145]</a> a serial story, entitled "Splendid -Misery, or East End and West End, by C. H.

Another -weekly, <i>The World</i>, commenced a serial story intituled "Splendid -Misery, by the Author of Lady Audley's Secret, Vivian, &c." -The two weekly papers were of an entirely different character, -and it was held that there was nothing in the publication of the -serial story in <i>The World</i> which was calculated to deceive. In -<i>Cowen</i> v. <i>Hulton</i><a id="FNanchor_1146" href="#Footnote_1146" class="fnanchor">[1146]</a> the plaintiff was proprietor of <i>The Newcastle -Weekly Chronicle</i> and <i>The Newcastle Daily Chronicle</i>.

The copyright -in a law book was purchased by a bookseller. The author -refused to edit a third edition, and the bookseller had the -necessary alterations made for himself. The third edition was -then published without any notice that it was prepared by any -one other than the author. It contained numerous errors. In -an action by the author against the bookseller, Lord Tenterden, -C.

The Court is slow to -grant an interlocutory injunction in such an action. No doubt -it would be done in an extreme case, for instance, if the owner -of performing rights in a play inserted indecent or scandalous -matter without the consent of the author, but the Court prefers -to have the legal question as to whether the altered version is -injurious to the plaintiff's reputation tried first. In <i>Cox</i> v. <i>Cox</i><a id="FNanchor_1155" href="#Footnote_1155" class="fnanchor">[1155]</a> -the plaintiff had written a legal article for the purpose of insertion -in the defendant's book. The defendant revised and shortened -the article to a considerable extent, and the plaintiff applied for -an injunction in Chancery to restrain the defendant from publishing -the article in its mutilated form. Page Wood, V. C., refused -an injunction, and, in his judgment, said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"In respect to what was said about the plaintiff's reputation suffering -from having the legal matter supplied by him published in a mutilated -and erroneous form, according to Sir J.

It must be observed, however, that this was a -claim for an injunction in equity, and the judgment of Lord -Tenterden in <i>Archbold</i> v. <i>Sweet</i><a id="FNanchor_1157" href="#Footnote_1157" class="fnanchor">[1157]</a> was not referred to. That and -the subsequent cases make it clear that there is a right of action -on the ground of injury to reputation alone, and that in urgent -cases the Court will interfere by interlocutory injunction. In -<i>Gilbert</i> v. <i>Boosey</i><a id="FNanchor_1158" href="#Footnote_1158" class="fnanchor">[1158]</a> the owner of a performing right in an opera -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_215">[215]</span> -inserted without the permission of the author two songs, and one -of the author's songs was left out. The opera was advertised -and performed <i>simpliciter</i> as the plaintiff's opera without any -mention of alterations. On an application for an interlocutory -injunction, Denman, J., refused to interfere at such an early -stage, but he intimated that if the songs had been indecent or -such as would obviously damage the plaintiff's reputation, he -might have granted an injunction. In <i>Lee</i> v. <i>Gibbings</i><a id="FNanchor_1159" href="#Footnote_1159" class="fnanchor">[1159]</a> the -defendant had acquired the copyright in the plaintiff's "Autobiography -of Edward, Lord Herbert of Cherbury." He published -a condensed edition, on the title-page of which the plaintiff -was stated <i>simpliciter</i> to be the author. The plaintiff alleged -that the work was unscholarly and injurious to his reputation, -and craved an interim injunction. Kekewich, J., refused the -motion. The plaintiff's remedy, he said, was founded on libel -by reason of the injury to his reputation. Of late years there -had been no such thing as an injunction to restrain a libel -(except in the case of a trade libel) on an interlocutory application -or before the point had been submitted to a jury.

As to express contract there is little -difficulty, the ordinary rules of contract will apply. As to implied -contract or breach of faith, these are really the same, -only common law based its remedy on the former and equity -on the latter. It usually arises in the case of a clerk or other -employee between whom and the employer a confidential relationship -exists. As regards employees, the law stated briefly is -this, that during his employment he must do nothing which is -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_216">[216]</span> -contrary to the interests of his employer; he may not in any -way assist in the production of literary or artistic work which -may compete with the work of his employer. After the termination -of his employment, apart from express contract, he is -entitled to compete with his late employer, and for that purpose -may make use of the general knowledge and information -which he acquired in his employment: but he may not for -such purpose use any materials such as documents, notes, -printing blocks, &c., which he acquired in his capacity of -employee and <i>a fortiori</i> if he acquired them surreptitiously.</p> - -<p>In <i>Jovatt</i> v. <i>Winyard</i><a id="FNanchor_1161" href="#Footnote_1161" class="fnanchor">[1161]</a> a veterinary surgeon employed a journeyman -for the purpose of selling his medicine.

On a -motion to restrain the defendants from making use of the -list of cyphers acquired in the plaintiffs' employment, Jessel, -M. R., refused an interim injunction. He said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The Court will always restrain a man from publishing or divulging -that which has been communicated to him in confidence. But this is a -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_217">[217]</span> -totally different case.

On the termination -of their employment they published a rival directory and made -use of blocks and notes which they had acquired in the plaintiff's -employment. The Court held that this was an improper use -for the defendants to make of materials so acquired. Bowen, -L. J., in his judgment, said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It is not a question of copyright—that must be kept out of sight -altogether—nor is it, on the other hand, a simple question of the absolute -property at law in the documents themselves or in the blocks themselves. -It is a question of whether the plaintiff, whatever the property in the -documents may be or whatever the property in the materials may be, has -not sufficient special property in them to entitle him to restrain the use of -them against him when they had been obtained for his use by his agents -in the course of their employment.

The -right in literary matter in manuscript is clearly one of property, -and is independent of any confidential or contractual relation -between the author and those who interfere with his property -without authority. "It cannot," said Lord Halsbury in <i>Caird</i> v. -<i>Sime</i>,<a id="FNanchor_1179" href="#Footnote_1179" class="fnanchor">[1179]</a> "be denied that in the present state of the law an author -has a proprietary right in his unpublished literary productions." -An author may choose his own time to publish or may choose -never to publish at all, and he may proceed against any one -who attempts to publish or otherwise deals without his authority -with his unpublished work. This was definitely decided in -<i>Donaldson</i> v. <i>Beckett</i><a id="FNanchor_1180" href="#Footnote_1180" class="fnanchor">[1180]</a> when the question among others was put -to the judges: "Whether at common law an author of any book -or literary composition had the sole right of first printing or -publishing the same for sale; and might bring an action against -any person who printed, published, and sold the same without -his consent?" Ten out of eleven judges consulted answered -that there was such a right, and eight of them that an action lay -in cases of infringement. Two of the judges, however, were of -opinion that an action lay against an infringer only when the -manuscript had been obtained by fraud or violence. Only one -judge held that there was no right of first publication. In <i>Prince -Albert</i> v. <i>Strange</i><a id="FNanchor_1181" href="#Footnote_1181" class="fnanchor">[1181]</a> Lord Cottenham, L.

The former may be liable to be translated, abridged, -analysed, exhibited in morsels, complimented and otherwise treated in a -manner that the latter is not."</p></blockquote> - -<p>The reason that private documents of a man should be protected -from any interference whatsoever is sufficiently obvious. -"A man," says Knight Bruce, V.

In <i>Miller</i> v. <i>Taylor</i><a id="FNanchor_1185" href="#Footnote_1185" class="fnanchor">[1185]</a> Yates, J., expresses the -principle of the common law protection:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Ideas are free.

It is certain every man has a right to keep his own sentiments -if he pleases: he has certainly a right to judge whether he will make -them public or commit them only to the sight of his friends. In that state -the manuscript is in every sense his peculiar property, and no man can take -it from him or make any use of it which he has not authorised without -being guilty of a violation of his property."</p></blockquote> - -<p>The common law right in manuscript ceases upon "communication -to the public" with the consent of the author,<a id="FNanchor_1186" href="#Footnote_1186" class="fnanchor">[1186]</a> but it -may still continue notwithstanding some kind of communication -to others. The communication in order to divest the owner of -common law right must be an abandonment of his ideas and -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_222">[222]</span> -words to the use of the public at large.

In -<i>Caird</i> v. <i>Sime</i><a id="FNanchor_1191" href="#Footnote_1191" class="fnanchor">[1191]</a> the professor of moral philosophy in Glasgow -University delivered a course of lectures in pursuance of his -duty as professor.

It was strenuously argued that the -professorship being a <i>munus publicum</i> and the classes being open -to all comers, the delivery of the lectures was really a publication -without reserve to the whole world. The House of Lords rejected -this argument, and held that the right to publish was -reserved, the persons who were present at the lecture not being -the general public, but a limited class of the public selected and -admitted for the sole and special purpose of receiving individual -instruction. Lord Halsbury, L.

It seems to be doubtful, however, whether the -right in unwritten speeches is one based on property, or whether -it must depend entirely on implied contract between the speaker -and his audience. In <i>Abernethy</i> v. <i>Hutchinson</i><a id="FNanchor_1200" href="#Footnote_1200" class="fnanchor">[1200]</a> Dr. Abernethy -delivered surgical lectures to students at St. Bartholomew's -Hospital. These lectures had not been previously reduced to -writing. Lord Eldon, L. C., granted an injunction against their -unauthorised reproduction in the <i>Lancet</i>. There was no evidence -as to how the defendants got possession of the lectures, -but Lord Eldon thought that was immaterial:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"They must have been taken from a pupil or otherwise in such a way -as the Court would not permit, and the injunction ought to go on the -ground of property, and although there was not sufficient to establish an -implied contract as between the plaintiffs and the defendants, yet it must -be decided that as the lectures must have been procured in an undue -manner from those who were under a contract not to publish for profit, -there was sufficient to authorise the Court to say the defendants shall not -publish."</p></blockquote> - -<p>In <i>Nicols</i> v. <i>Pitman</i><a id="FNanchor_1201" href="#Footnote_1201" class="fnanchor">[1201]</a> a case of previously written lectures, -Kay, J., reviews the judgment of Lord Eldon in the last cited -case:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"Now it is quite true that the learned judge seems at one moment to -refer to the ground of property and at another to that of implied contract. -But I take his meaning to be this, that when a lecture of this kind is -delivered to an audience, especially when the audience is a limited one -admitted by tickets, the understanding between the lecturer and the -audience is that, whether the lecture has been committed to writing beforehand -or not, the audience are quite at liberty to take the fullest notes they -like for their own personal purposes, but they are not at liberty having -taken those notes to use them afterwards for the purpose of publishing -the lecture for profit."</p></blockquote> - -<p>The question of whether the right in an oral speech is property -or not might well be of the highest importance in a question -between the speaker and a publisher who acquired the -matter in entire ignorance of his right.

Since the <i>Act of -Congress</i>, 1891, commonly known as the <i>Chace Act</i>, those who -are neither citizens of nor resident in the United States can -acquire a copyright therein if copies of their books are printed -from type set up in the United States and if their books -are duly recorded there before publication either within or -outside the United States. There is thus created for English -authors a property which may be of considerable value if -before publishing here they incur the trouble and expense of -printing and recording their books in America.</p> - -<p>Apart from this commercial interest which English authors -and publishers have in a knowledge of American copyright -law, there is the further interest to English lawyers in the -large body of analogous case law to which the American -statutes have given rise. These statutes were originally founded -on our own statute of Anne, and, although the difference -between the Acts now in force in the two countries is very -wide in many respects, a great deal remains the same in -substance, and the decisions of the American Courts afford -us valuable precedents. These cases, however, must not be -cited in our Courts at random, as has too frequently been -done. In citing from the American reports, it is essential -to compare the statutory provisions in America with the -statutory provisions in this country, and ascertain whether -the decisions are really applicable or not. It is for this -reason that I have thought it expedient to keep the American -law and the English law entirely separate. The practice of citing -American cases promiscuously throughout a treatise on English -Copyright Law I have found to be confusing and misleading. -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_236">[236]</span></p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -<h2>CHAPTER II<br /> - -WHAT WORKS ARE ENTITLED TO COPYRIGHT</h2> - -<p>In order to acquire copyright in the United States the work -must fulfil the following conditions:</p> - -<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">1.

The works protected -are enumerated in section 4952 of the Revised Statutes as -amended by the Act of March 3, 1891 (<i>The Chace Act</i>). The -protection extends to any book, map, chart, dramatic or -musical composition, engraving, cut, print, or photograph or -negative thereof, and to any painting, drawing, chromo, statue, -statuary, and to models or designs intended to be perfected as -works of the fine arts.</p> - -<div class="sidenote">The scope -of the Constitution.</div> - -<p>In considering whether a work is within the protection of -the Copyright Acts, not only must the enacting words of the -statutes be considered, but also, and perhaps principally, the -scope of the provision in the Constitution, which grants power -to Congress to secure the protection of authors and artists.<a id="FNanchor_1256" href="#Footnote_1256" class="fnanchor">[1256]</a> -The language of the Act must be read in connection with the -Constitutional provision and be so construed as to promote the -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_237">[237]</span> -object and conform to the purpose expressed therein. The -power given to Congress by the Constitution is a power "to -promote the progress of science and useful arts by securing for -limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to -their respective writings and discoveries." In consideration of -this restricted power the earlier decisions<a id="FNanchor_1257" href="#Footnote_1257" class="fnanchor">[1257]</a> construed the Acts -of Congress as including only those works which showed a -certain degree of intellectual labour in the arts or sciences. -In <i>Clayton</i> v. <i>Stone</i><a id="FNanchor_1258" href="#Footnote_1258" class="fnanchor">[1258]</a> protection was refused to a daily price -current or review of the markets issued in a newspaper. -Thompson, J., in giving judgment, said:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The Act was passed in execution of the power given by Congress, -and the object therefore was the promotion of science; and it would -certainly be a pretty extraordinary view of the sciences to consider a daily -or weekly publication of the state of the market as falling within any class -of them. They are of a more fixed, permanent, and durable character. -The term science cannot with any propriety be applied to a work of so -fluctuating and fugitive a form as that of a newspaper or price current, the -subject-matter of which is daily changing, and is of mere temporary use.... -The title of the Act of Congress is for the encouragement of learning, -and was not intended for the encouragement of mere industry unconnected -with learning and the sciences."</p></blockquote> - -<div class="sidenote">Illustrated Catalogues.</div> - -<p>This high standard of intellectual requirement was not, -however, strictly maintained. In <i>Brightley</i> v. <i>Littleton</i><a id="FNanchor_1259" href="#Footnote_1259" class="fnanchor">[1259]</a> a blank -form of application for a licence to sell liquor at retail, drawn -in pursuance of the statutes in that behalf, was protected, and it -was said that, although the matter claiming copyright must be -original and possess some possible utility, "the originality may -be of the lowest order and the utility barely perceptible." In -<i>Ladd</i> v. <i>Oxnard</i><a id="FNanchor_1260" href="#Footnote_1260" class="fnanchor">[1260]</a> the English cases of <i>Lamb</i> v. <i>Evans</i><a id="FNanchor_1261" href="#Footnote_1261" class="fnanchor">[1261]</a> and <i>Leslie</i> -v. <i>Young</i><a id="FNanchor_1262" href="#Footnote_1262" class="fnanchor">[1262]</a> were cited with approval, and the Court agreed that -"the quality and grade of original work required by the Courts -under the Copyright Statutes are very moderate." Until the -case of <i>Mott</i> v. <i>Clow</i>,<a id="FNanchor_1263" href="#Footnote_1263" class="fnanchor">[1263]</a> the tendency seems to have been to follow -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_238">[238]</span> -the English judges to their extreme view, as expressed by Lord -Halsbury in <i>Walter</i> v. <i>Lane</i>,<a id="FNanchor_1264" href="#Footnote_1264" class="fnanchor">[1264]</a> <i>i. e.</i> "that the copyright law requires -neither literary merit nor intellectual labour nor originality -either in thought or in language." The Court, however, in -<i>Mott</i> v. <i>Clow</i><a id="FNanchor_1265" href="#Footnote_1265" class="fnanchor">[1265]</a> refused to follow the English decisions. After -reviewing the American, and particularly the earlier American -decisions, they say:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"The result of these decisions would seem to place this construction -upon the Constitutional provisions under consideration that only such -writings and discoveries are included which are the result of intellectual -labour; that the term writings may be liberally construed to include -designs for engravings and prints that are original and are founded in the -creative powers of the mind, the fruits of intellectual labour; that prints -upon a single sheet might be considered a book if it otherwise met the -spirit of the constitutional provision; and that to be entitled to a copyright, -the article must have, by and of itself, some value as a composition, -at least to the extent of serving some purpose other than a mere advertisement -or designation of the subject to which it is attached."</p></blockquote> - -<p>The "book" before the Court was a catalogue in the form -of a bound volume, containing illustrations of household wares -offered for sale, and giving the dimensions and price of each. -The Court referred to <i>Maple</i> v. <i>Junior Army and Navy Stores</i><a id="FNanchor_1266" href="#Footnote_1266" class="fnanchor">[1266]</a> -where a similar catalogue in England was protected.</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It is to be observed in this case that it was ruled largely upon the -language of the Act of Parliament (5 & 6 Vict. c. 45).... It is to be here -remarked that the Parliament of Great Britain, unlike the Congress of the -United States, is unlimited in power, and with the construction and effect -placed upon the preamble of the Act by the Court, there would seem to -be little escape from the conclusion at which the Court arrived. In this -country under the Constitution the power lodged with the Congress is -not unlimited, but is restricted to the promotion of the progress of science -and useful arts.

The judgment concludes with -the following paragraph:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"It is possibly not beyond comprehension that pictures of slop-sinks, -wash-bowls, and bath-tubs, with or without letterpress statement of -dimensions and prices, though intended mainly for advertisement, may in -localities where such conveniences are not in common use, be the means -of instruction and of advancement in knowledge of the arts, and, when -they are the products of original intellectual thought, may possibly come -within the scope of the Constitutional provision. It is enough for the -present purpose to say that, in our judgment, the Congress has not seen -fit to enact a law which can reasonably be given so broad a construction."</p></blockquote> - -<div class="sidenote">Directories. -Dictionaries.</div> - -<div class="sidenote">Mercantile -Statistics.</div> - -<div class="sidenote">Forms of -Application.</div> - -<p>In considering the authority of some of the cases cited -below, the judgment in <i>Mott</i> v. <i>Clow</i><a id="FNanchor_1271" href="#Footnote_1271" class="fnanchor">[1271]</a> must not be lost sight of. -It is probable that some of these cases are not in accordance -with it, or with the older cases, such as <i>Clayton</i> v. <i>Stone</i><a id="FNanchor_1272" href="#Footnote_1272" class="fnanchor">[1272]</a> and -<i>Baker</i> v. <i>Selden</i><a id="FNanchor_1273" href="#Footnote_1273" class="fnanchor">[1273]</a> therein expressly approved.

In <i>Folsom</i> v. -<i>Marsh</i><a id="FNanchor_1316" href="#Footnote_1316" class="fnanchor">[1316]</a> the letters of George Washington were the subject of -controversy. Story, J., in giving judgment, laid down the law -as to the property in letters at some length:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>"There is no small confusion in the books with reference to the -question of copyright in letters. Some of the <i>dicta</i> seem to suppose that -no copyright can exist except in letters which are professedly literary, -while others again recognise a much more enlarged and liberal doctrine -upon the whole subject. In the first place I hold that the author of any -letter or letters (and his representatives), whether they are literary compositions -or familiar letters or letters of business, possess the sole and -exclusive copyright therein; and that no persons, neither those to whom -they are addressed nor other persons, have any right or authority to publish -the same upon their own account or for their own benefit. But consistently -with this right the persons to whom they are addressed may have, -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_244">[244]</span> -nay, must by implication possess the right to publish any letter or letters -addressed to them upon such occasions as require or justify the publication -or public use of them, but this right is strictly limited to such -occasions. Thus a person may justifiably use and publish in a suit at -law or in equity such letter or letters as are necessary and proper to -establish his right to maintain the suit or defend the same.

(July 1, 1891.)</p></blockquote> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_248">[248]</span></p> - -<p>On these sections two questions seem to be left open:</p> - -<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">(1) Is the test to be applied the nationality of (<i>a</i>) the -author, or of (<i>b</i>) the proprietor of the manuscript, -or other unpublished work, at the time of publication; -or will it satisfy the Act if (<i>c</i>) either of these persons -complies with the requisite conditions of nationality?</span> - -<span class="i0">(2) Will residence in the United States or in one of the -proclaimed countries confer the privileges on one -who is not a citizen or subject of any of them?</span> -</div></div> - -<p>1. It may be that it would be a sufficient compliance with -the requirements of the Act if either the author or his assignee -before publication were a citizen of the United States, or a subject -or citizen of a proclaimed country. Section 1 amending the -Revised Statutes, sec. 4952, gives the sole liberty to "the author, -inventor, designer, or proprietor, and to the executors, administrators, -or assigns of any such person." Section 13 "applies -the Act" to citizens or subjects of certain foreign states or -nations. Under the Revised Statutes, section 4971, before 1891 -it was the nationality of the author alone that was considered, -and it would have been no answer to have said that the assignee -before publication was an American citizen or resident in the -United States. Perhaps in 1891 the benefit was designedly -extended to assignees before publication, who complied -with the conditions and who had taken assignments from -foreign authors who did not. On the whole, however, I am -inclined to the opinion that it will not do merely to allege that -the assignee of the uncopyrighted and unpublished work is a -citizen of the United States or a subject or citizen of one of the -proclaimed countries. It must, I think, be alleged that the author, -inventor, designer, or proprietor <i>ab initio</i> has complied with the -conditions as to nationality. By proprietor <i>ab initio</i> (and probably -this is the true meaning of "proprietor" in section 1 of -the Act of March 3, 1891<a id="FNanchor_1339" href="#Footnote_1339" class="fnanchor">[1339]</a>), I mean one who compiles a work -by his servants or agents, for instance, a body corporate, which -cannot be said to be an "author, inventor, or designer," and -yet is entitled to the whole property in the work of its -servants as it grows up from day to day. I have not con -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_249">[249]</span>sidered -the assignee after publication. I think it must be -abundantly clear that his nationality cannot be taken as the -test, since if he took his assignment from a foreign author -who did not comply with the conditions of nationality when -the work was published, the work at the time of assignment -would have become <i>publici juris</i>. If he took his assignment -from one who complied with the conditions of nationality and -copyrighted the work, the fact of his being an alien would not -prevent him acquiring the copyright already secured.</p> - -<p>2. Before 1891 residence in the United States, which was -interpreted to mean permanent residence and not merely for -the purposes of publication,<a id="FNanchor_1340" href="#Footnote_1340" class="fnanchor">[1340]</a> was sufficient to entitle an author -to the privileges of the Copyright Acts. The provision now, under -the Act of March 3, 1891, is that the Act shall only apply to -a citizen of a foreign country which has been proclaimed. -Reading the Act strictly a foreign resident in the United States -but not a citizen thereof is excluded from protection which he -formerly had, unless he is a citizen or subject of a proclaimed -country. No doubt this was not intended to be the result -of the Act of 1891, but the words are plain and unambiguous, -and there seems no reason why they should not have effect -according to their plain meaning. <i>A fortiori</i> a foreigner resident -in, but not a subject of, one of the proclaimed countries would -not be entitled to copyright.</p> - -<p>The following States have been proclaimed as fulfilling one -or other of the required conditions, and their citizens are -therefore entitled to acquire copyright in the United States in -the same way as an American citizen:</p> - -<table summary="Table of the States have been proclaimed as fulfilling one -or other of the required conditions, and their citizens are -therefore entitled to acquire copyright in the United States in -the same way as an American citizen."> - <tr> - <td>Belgium</td> - <td>⎫</td> - <td></td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>France</td> - <td>⎥</td> - <td rowspan="2">July 1, 1891.</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Great Britain</td> - <td>⎥</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Switzerland</td> - <td>âŽ</td> - <td></td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Germany</td> - <td> </td> - <td>April 15, 1892.</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Italy</td> - <td> </td> - <td>October 31, 1892.</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Denmark</td> - <td> </td> - <td>May 8, 1893.</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Portugal</td> - <td> </td> - <td>July 20, 1893.</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Spain</td> - <td> </td> - <td>July 10, 1895.</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Mexico</td> - <td> </td> - <td>Feb. 27, 1896.</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Chili</td> - <td> </td> - <td>May 25, 1896.</td> - </tr> -</table> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_250">[250]</span></p> - -<h3><span class="smcap">Section III.—Necessary Formalities</span>.</h3> - -<p>No person is entitled to copyright unless he—<a id="FNanchor_1341" href="#Footnote_1341" class="fnanchor">[1341]</a></p> - -<p>I.

When the only notice on a book was "Entered -according to Act of Congress, in the year 1878, by H.

Thus "1889, Copyrighted by B. J. Falk, -N. Y.," has been held a good notice.<a id="FNanchor_1374" href="#Footnote_1374" class="fnanchor">[1374]</a> So also has "Copyright -entered according to Act of Congress, 1889, by T. C. Hefel,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_256">[256]</span> -civil engineer." It was held to comply with the short alternative -notice, viz.: "Copyright, 18—, by A. B.," the superfluous -words being disregarded on the doctrine of <i>utile per inutile non -vitiatur</i>.<a id="FNanchor_1375" href="#Footnote_1375" class="fnanchor">[1375]</a></p> - -<p><i>The name of the proprietor</i> who takes out the copyright is an -essential part of the notice. In <i>Osgood</i> v. <i>Aloe</i><a id="FNanchor_1376" href="#Footnote_1376" class="fnanchor">[1376]</a> the following -notice was printed on the page following the title-page, "Copyright, -1891; all rights reserved." This was held a bad notice, -and the name of the publishers, who were also the proprietors, -printed on the title-page was insufficient. There was nothing to -show that they were proprietors as well as publishers. Copyright -may be taken out in the name of a firm or a conventional trade -name, and if that name is on the notice it is sufficient.<a id="FNanchor_1377" href="#Footnote_1377" class="fnanchor">[1377]</a> But it -must be the full and proper name under which the proprietors -are trading. Thus when <i>The Illustrated American Publishing -Company</i> issued a paper entitled <i>The Illustrated American</i>, the -following was held an insufficient notice on a crayon drawing -published by the Company, viz.: "Copyrighted 1891, by <i>The -Illustrated American</i>."<a id="FNanchor_1378" href="#Footnote_1378" class="fnanchor">[1378]</a> It seems, however, that it is not necessary -for an individual to give his full name if what is given is -sufficient for the purposes of identity. Thus the surname and -the first letter of the Christian name,<a id="FNanchor_1379" href="#Footnote_1379" class="fnanchor">[1379]</a> and in one case the surname -alone have been held sufficient.<a id="FNanchor_1380" href="#Footnote_1380" class="fnanchor">[1380]</a> The latter case was -that of a photographer in Brooklyn. It was shown that there -was only one photographer of that name in Brooklyn, and the -notice ran "Copyright, '93, by Bolles, Brooklyn."<a id="FNanchor_1381" href="#Footnote_1381" class="fnanchor">[1381]</a> If the full -name is given there is no necessity to give the address of the -proprietor, even although he be a foreigner resident abroad.<a id="FNanchor_1382" href="#Footnote_1382" class="fnanchor">[1382]</a></p> - -<p>It will not do to put the name of an agent on the notice. -In <i>Nifflin</i> v. <i>Dutton</i><a id="FNanchor_1383" href="#Footnote_1383" class="fnanchor">[1383]</a> the authoress of "The Minister's Wooing" -took out a copyright in the whole book in her own name.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_257">[257]</span> -Subsequently several chapters of the story were published -serially in the <i>Atlantic Monthly</i>. The only notice of copyright -in that magazine was in the name of the publishers, Ticknor and -Fields. It was held that these chapters had not a sufficient -notice. Great care must be taken in the case of serial publications. -If a story is published in a magazine each part must -be treated as a separate book, and must contain a notice of -copyright by the author if he is the owner. When the book is -published as a whole these notices must be repeated; it will not -do merely to copyright the whole book afresh and print a new -notice.</p> - -<p><i>Date of Entry.</i>—The date required is the year only; neither -the day nor the month is necessary. The statement of a wrong -year has been held fatal to the notice. In <i>Baker</i> v. <i>Taylor</i><a id="FNanchor_1384" href="#Footnote_1384" class="fnanchor">[1384]</a> -the true date of taking out copyright was 1846. The notice -stated 1847 as the year, and this was held as bad notice, even -although the error arose from mistake. But in <i>Callaghan</i> v. -<i>Myers</i><a id="FNanchor_1385" href="#Footnote_1385" class="fnanchor">[1385]</a> the notice put an earlier instead of a later date than the -actual date of deposit; the true date being 1867, the notice -declared copyright to have been entered in 1866. This was held -an immaterial error, since it deceived no one, and would only -operate to shorten the claimant's copyright by one year. In -<i>Schumacher</i> v. <i>Wogram</i><a id="FNanchor_1386" href="#Footnote_1386" class="fnanchor">[1386]</a> Wallace, J., doubted whether the -declaration in the notice of a date earlier than the true date -would not make the notice void. It is immaterial that the date -on the notice is abbreviated if it is sufficiently clear what date -is meant; thus, "Copyright, '94, by A. B.," is a good notice.<a id="FNanchor_1387" href="#Footnote_1387" class="fnanchor">[1387]</a></p> - -<p>It is extremely difficult to determine what date the law -requires to be placed upon the second or subsequent edition -of a book wherein substantial alterations or additions have been -made. In the case of a reprint, I think it is clear that the date -of the first edition, and that only, is the correct date; and even -where alterations or additions have been made I think that that -date is necessary, and I doubt whether it is necessary to add -another notice giving the date of the revised edition. It would -seem that a subsequent edition does not require to be "entered"<span class="pagenum" id="Page_258">[258]</span> -in the same manner as the original edition; the statute is complied -with by the deposit of a copy of every subsequent edition -wherein any substantial changes shall be made. If this is done -copyright in the alterations seems to have been procured. In -<i>Lawrence</i> v. <i>Dana</i><a id="FNanchor_1388" href="#Footnote_1388" class="fnanchor">[1388]</a> Clifford, J., held that it was not necessary in -a subsequent edition to give the date of the entry of the first -edition<a id="FNanchor_1389" href="#Footnote_1389" class="fnanchor">[1389]</a>; but I doubt if this is sound. On the whole, I think -the correct view is that the matter peculiar to the first edition, -whether it be printed in the first or any subsequent edition, must -bear a notice with the date when that matter was first entered, -and that the matter peculiar to any subsequent edition will be -protected until the expiry of the copyright in the first edition, if -it bears a notice with the date of the first edition only, and if a -copy has been sent to the Librarian of Congress. I further -think that the matter peculiar to subsequent editions may be -protected for the full term of twenty-eight or thirty-two years -from the date of the first publication of the edition in which it -is first contained, if such edition is separately entered, by two -copies of the title-page and of the book being deposited, and if -it bears a notice with the date of such separate entry. I think, -therefore, in every new edition in which there is a substantial -alteration or addition there should as a matter of practice be a -separate entry of copyright and separate notices on the title-page, -one for each edition of the book.</p> - -<p>The question may be raised as to whether a book is a -subsequent edition or an entirely new book. In <i>Banks</i> v. -<i>M'Divitt</i>,<a id="FNanchor_1390" href="#Footnote_1390" class="fnanchor">[1390]</a> the plaintiff had annotated the rules of the Supreme -Court of New York. He had published such annotated -editions in 1858 and 1871. In 1874 the rules were extensively -amended, and the plaintiff published an annotated copy. -It was held that this was not a subsequent edition of the -original annotated rules, and therefore no notice of the original -date of publication was required. I very much doubt whether -this is a sound decision. It seems to me that in so far as the -new book was the same as the old, it was a subsequent edition, -and in order to retain protection required a notice of original -publication.<span class="pagenum" id="Page_259">[259]</span> -</p> -<p><i>Every published copy</i> of every edition<a id="FNanchor_1391" href="#Footnote_1391" class="fnanchor">[1391]</a> of a work must have -the statutory notice thereon; every proprietor who sues must -have printed the notice on every copy published by him. If -an assignee of a copyright fail to print a proper notice he will -have no remedy even against his assignor for infringement.<a id="FNanchor_1392" href="#Footnote_1392" class="fnanchor">[1392]</a> -From the wording of the Act of June 18, 1874, it seems that -the printing of the notice is not now a condition precedent to -copyright, but is only a condition of the right of action upon -infringement. It is, I think, questionable whether the failure -of A to print a proper notice will affect the right of B, his -assignee, to sue for an infringement subsequent to the assignment. -One who makes an unauthorised copy of a literary or -artistic work is not exempt from liability merely because he -can show that the copy from which he copied had no notice. -His defence must be that such copy left the proprietor's hands -without a proper notice.<a id="FNanchor_1393" href="#Footnote_1393" class="fnanchor">[1393]</a> The question has been raised, but -not answered, whether if the proprietor grant a licence, and the -licensee omits to insert a proper notice, the proprietor is without -a remedy.<a id="FNanchor_1394" href="#Footnote_1394" class="fnanchor">[1394]</a></p> - -<p>Formerly if a book were published in several volumes at -different times, it was sufficient to place the notice on the first -volume only,<a id="FNanchor_1395" href="#Footnote_1395" class="fnanchor">[1395]</a> but now since the Act of 1891<a id="FNanchor_1396" href="#Footnote_1396" class="fnanchor">[1396]</a> each volume of -a book and each number of a periodical is to be considered an -independent publication, and the notice must be placed on -each volume or part accordingly.</p> - -<p>There is no special provision in the law of the United States -as to newspapers and other periodical works, therefore each -issue must be considered a separate work, and the requisite -formalities complied with in each case.</p> - -<p><i>Notice on Painting.</i>—It was contended in one case<a id="FNanchor_1397" href="#Footnote_1397" class="fnanchor">[1397]</a> that -there was no necessity to place the notice on an original -painting, the Act only requiring notices to be placed on copies -made therefrom. The Court held, however, that the original -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_260">[260]</span> -work was a "copy" within the meaning of the provision in -the Act, and must be inscribed with the notice accordingly.</p> - -<p><i>Maps in Atlas.</i>—Each map contained in an atlas does not -require to be separately copyrighted, or bear a separate notice -of copyright. They are protected by a copyright of the -entire work.<a id="FNanchor_1398" href="#Footnote_1398" class="fnanchor">[1398]</a> The same would, no doubt, apply to a volume -of engravings or other works of art.</p> - -<p><b>Publication.</b>—There appears to be some doubt as to -whether publication is necessary as a condition precedent to -the statutory rights. The duration of copyright is to be -measured from the date of the deposit of the title or description -with the Librarian of Congress; but probably that in -itself gives no proprietary right either in the title or the -book. It has been suggested that it gives an "inchoate right," -or an "equitable right, which Chancery will protect until the -other acts may be done."<a id="FNanchor_1399" href="#Footnote_1399" class="fnanchor">[1399]</a> It may be that when the formalities -have been completed by deposit of copies the right -then acquired dates back to the deposit of title so as to give -a statutory remedy against an infringement made between the -two dates.<a id="FNanchor_1400" href="#Footnote_1400" class="fnanchor">[1400]</a> When the copies of the book have been deposited, -the express conditions precedent of the statute have been -performed; but the question has been raised whether there will -be copyright unless within a reasonable time thereafter the book -or other work is put in circulation among the public. In -<i>Boucicault</i> v. <i>Hart</i><a id="FNanchor_1401" href="#Footnote_1401" class="fnanchor">[1401]</a> the Court held that although the title-page -had been filed there could be no copyright without "a -deposit of copies and publication." In <i>The Jewellers' Mercantile -Agency</i> v. <i>Jewellers' Publishing Company</i><a id="FNanchor_1402" href="#Footnote_1402" class="fnanchor">[1402]</a> the New York Supreme -Court, on a question as to whether an action should be founded -on the Statute or at Common Law, held that although there -had been deposit of title and deposit of copies in accordance -with the Acts there could be no copyright, but only a common -law right unless there had been a "publication." In <i>Ladd</i> v. -<i>Oxnard</i>,<a id="FNanchor_1403" href="#Footnote_1403" class="fnanchor">[1403]</a> the circuit judge, Putnam, thought that the statutory -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_261">[261]</span> -right was perfected by deposit of copies, and that from then, -until "publication," there were concurrent remedies under -the Statute and at Common Law. After the decision in -<i>Ladd</i> v. <i>Oxnard</i><a id="FNanchor_1404" href="#Footnote_1404" class="fnanchor">[1404]</a> the decision in <i>The Jewellers' Mercantile Agency</i> -v. <i>Jewellers Publishing Company</i> was reviewed by the Appeal -Court of New York.<a id="FNanchor_1405" href="#Footnote_1405" class="fnanchor">[1405]</a> The Court was unanimous in reversing -the judgment below, and holding that the plaintiff's right of -action was a statutory right and not a common law right. -Three of the judges gave their decision on the ground -that the facts proved showed a publication subsequent to -deposit; but the other three gave it on the ground that the -deposit itself was a publication and completed the statutory -copyright. It is submitted that this latter is the correct view, -and that, therefore, after deposit of the title-page and deposit -of copies in due form nothing further is necessary to acquire -copyright.</p> - -<p>Apart from the question as to whether publication is -necessary to complete the statutory right, several questions of -importance may arise on the fact or date of publication, <i>e. g.</i>:</p> - -<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">1.

In a case decided by a district judge,<a id="FNanchor_1424" href="#Footnote_1424" class="fnanchor">[1424]</a> shortly before -the one just cited, the judge thought that the exhibition of a -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_264">[264]</span> -painting in a public saloon did not work a forfeiture of the -right to obtain copyright unless the general public was permitted -to take copies at pleasure, and such permission would -not be assumed in the absence of direct evidence. The same -judge decided that neither the sale of a replica in a different size -made before the principal picture by way of a study nor the -publication of a crayon sketch in an exhibition catalogue -was a publication of the picture. It is submitted that the -exhibition of a picture in a public gallery is a publication. It -seems to afford the public an opportunity of making every -legitimate use of the contents of the picture. They could not -make any greater use of the contents if they bought an engraving -of the picture. It would not even then be lawful for -them to make copies of the picture. As to the replica and the -rough sketches in the catalogue, no doubt they were not -"copies" of the picture, and therefore their publication could -not entirely destroy the copyright in the picture; but if these -were published without being copyrighted or without statutory -notice, clearly the public could copy them, and to that extent -the copyright in the design of the original picture would have -been forfeited.</p> - -<p>An unauthorised publication will not operate to forfeit the -common law rights;<a id="FNanchor_1425" href="#Footnote_1425" class="fnanchor">[1425]</a> but if authorised by the owner it is -immaterial that the publication constitutes a breach of contract -with a licensee or part assignee.<a id="FNanchor_1426" href="#Footnote_1426" class="fnanchor">[1426]</a> Thus the author of a -German unpublished play conveyed the performing rights in -the United States to a citizen of the States, and contracted with -him that he would not publish the play as a book.

Consequently, if a servant of -the Crown, in the course of his duty for which he is paid, composes any -document, or if a person is specially employed and paid by the Crown for -the purpose of composing any document, the copyright in the document -belongs to the Crown as it would in the case of a private employer.</p> - -<p>The majority of publications issued under the authority of the -Government have no resemblance to the works published by private -publishers, and are published for the information of the public and for -public use, in such manner as any one of the public may wish, and it is -desirable that the knowledge of their contents should be diffused as widely -as possible.</p> - -<p>In other cases the Government publishes at considerable cost works in -which few persons only are interested, but which are published for the -purpose of promoting literature and science.</p> - -<p>These works are of precisely the same character as those published by -private enterprise.</p> - -<p>In order to prevent an undue burden being thrown on the taxpayer by -these works, and to enable the Government to continue the publication -of works of this character to the same extent as heretofore, it is necessary -to place them, as regards copyright, in the same position as publications -by private publishers. If the reproduction of them, or of the most -popular portions of them, by private publishers, is permitted, the private -publisher will be able to put into his own pocket the profits of the work, -which ought to go in relief of the general public, the taxpayers.</p> - -<p>The question, then, is, what are the classes of works the reproduction -of which is to be restricted, or to be left unrestricted?</p> - -<p>Government publications may be classified as follows:</p> - -<blockquote> - -<p>(1.) Reports of Select Committees of the two Houses of Parliament, -or of Royal Commissions.</p> - -<p>(2.) Papers required by Statute to be laid before Parliament, -<i>e. g.</i>, Orders in Council, Rules made by Government Departments, -Accounts, Reports of Government Inspectors.</p> - -<p>(3.) Papers laid before Parliament by Command, <i>e. g.</i>, Treaties, -Diplomatic Correspondence, Reports from Consuls and Secretaries -of Legation, Reports of Inquiries into Explosions or Accidents, -and other Special Reports made to Government Departments.</p> - -<p>(4.) Acts of Parliament.</p> - -<p>(5.) Official books, <i>e. g.</i>, Queen's Regulations for the Army or -Navy.</p> - -<p>(6.) Literary or quasi-literary works, <i>e. g.</i>, the Reports of the -<i>Challenger</i> Expedition, the Rolls Publication, the forthcoming -State Trials, the "Board of Trade Journal."</p> - -<p>(7.) Charts and Ordnance Maps.</p></blockquote> - -<p>As respects the first five classes of publications, the reproduction of -them, with certain exceptions, should not be restricted in any form -whatever. Indeed, in most cases it is desirable that they should be made -known to the public as widely as possible.</p> - -<p>The first exception is, that Acts of Parliament and official books -should not, except when published under the authority of the Government, -purport on the face of them to be published by authority. -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_379">[379]</span></p> - -<p>The second exception is, where a work of a literary or quasi-literary -character comes accidentally within these classes. For example, the -Reports of the Historical Manuscripts Commission would, but for the fact -that they were produced under the direction of a Commission instead -of under the Master of the Rolls, be published in the ordinary manner -like the Rolls publications, and come within Class 6.</p> - -<p>So, again, a Report to a Government Department may be laid before -Parliament made by a person of eminent scientific knowledge who is -willing to give the Government and the public the advantage of his knowledge, -but not to allow it to be reproduced for the private benefit of an -individual publisher. Mr. Whitehead's Reports on Injurious Insects are -an instance of this case.</p> - -<p>Other exceptions will, no doubt, from time to time occur, which can -only be dealt with as they arise.</p> - -<p>As regards the sixth and seventh classes above mentioned, it seems -desirable that the copyright in them should be enforced in the interests of -the taxpayer, and of literature and science. For, as pointed out above, -unless copyright is enforced, cheap copies of the works, or of the popular -portion of them, can be produced by private publishers, who reap the -profit at the expense of the taxpayer. And as such works are in any case -a burden on the taxpayer, the greater the burden the fewer works can the -Government, with justice to the taxpayer, undertake.</p> - -<p>Notice of the intention to enforce the copyright in any work should be -given to the public. In the case of future works this notice can be given -by prefixing to the work a notice to the effect that the rights of copyright -are reserved. In the case of past works it will be desirable to inform the -publishing trade of the works the reproduction of which, without -permission, is forbidden.</p> - -<p>As respects Acts of Parliament, the Government, in obedience to the -wishes of Parliament expressed by Select Committees, are bound to -publish an edition of them by authority as cheaply as practicable, -and a nearly similar remark applies to official publications. For this -purpose the Comptroller of the Stationery Office shall be appointed Her -Majesty's Printer, but care will be taken not to infringe on any existing -privileges granted by the Crown.</p> - -<p>Let instructions be given to the Comptroller of the Stationery Office -and to the Solicitor in pursuance of this Minute.</p> - -<h3>AMERICAN STATUTES</h3> - -<h3>REVISED STATUTES, 1874.</h3> - -<h4><span class="smcap">Title</span> lx. c. 3.

The Act will -come into operation on October 1, 1902, and its application is limited to -the United Kingdom. The Act gives the owner of copyright music -power to seize pirated copies of his works from any person who may -hawk, carry about, sell, or offer for sale the same. To exercise this -power he may proceed in one of two ways. He may apply to a court -of summary jurisdiction, and on <i>primâ facie</i> evidence the court will by -order authorise a constable to seize the alleged pirated copies, or he may -without applying to the court himself authorise a constable in writing to -seize such copies. On the copies being seized by the constable they -must be brought before the court, and on proof that they are pirated -copies the court will order them to be destroyed or delivered to the -owner of the copyright. If the owner authorises the seizure without an -order from the court and fails to prove his case he might be liable in -damages. If, therefore, the owner is not quite sure of his case he should -first obtain the order of the court, which will relieve him from all responsibility, -except costs, in the event of his failing. The Bill as originally -brought into the House of Lords contained a clause empowering -a court of summary jurisdiction to inflict a summary penalty on persons -dealing with pirated music. It also proposed to give the court power to -order a constable to search for pirated music on suspected premises. -These remedies, however, were considered by the House of Commons to -be too drastic and were omitted from the Act. -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_393">[393]</span></p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_394">[394]</span></p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p><span class="pagenum"

C. - - IN GRATITUDE FOR - MUCH INSTRUCTION AND KINDNESS - - - - -PREFACE - - -The foundations of this work were laid by my endeavours to understand -what is perhaps the most complicated and obscure series of statutes in -the statute book. In working from time to time at the Law of Copyright -I found great want of a text-book which should be exhaustive of the -case law, and at the same time contain a concise and clearly arranged -epitome of the statutory provisions. This want I have tried to supply -for myself in the present compilation, and it is now published in -the hope that it may prove useful to others. The present law is bad -both in substance and form, but it is the more essential that those -who have anything to do with literary or artistic property should -comprehend it in so far as it is comprehensible. There are probably -more pitfalls for the unwary in dealing with Copyright than with any -other branch of the law. - -We have for some time been on the eve of a general codification and -amendment of the Law of Copyright. It is, however, an eve of long and -indefinite duration. It is now twenty-eight years since the Royal -Commission on Copyright was appointed, and still nothing has been done -to ameliorate the lamentable condition in which the Commissioners -then found the law. Dissensions among those who are interested in -Copyright, failure to come to a satisfactory arrangement with the -colonies, and want of time at the disposal of the legislature are -mainly responsible for this delay. In the meantime it is well that -all those who are interested in Copyright should make themselves -conversant with the law as it now is, so that when the time for -legislation does at last come the result may be the more satisfactory. - -I have added to this work Part II., dealing with Copyright in the -United States, and I hope it may prove useful not only to English but -to American lawyers and publishers. - -I have to acknowledge much assistance in the preparation of this work -and many invaluable suggestions from my friends, Mr. Langridge, of the -Middle Temple, and Mr. Mackinnon, of the Inner Temple. - - E.

I feel that I can add nothing useful to this branch of -the subject, and as a detailed account of the evolution of the law of -literary and artistic property is of little value to the practitioner -except as academic knowledge, I propose merely to pass briefly in -review the various epochs through which the author and his publisher -have passed in their struggle to obtain from the public what they -consider to be the just and adequate remuneration for their labours. -For a complete historical introduction to the law of copyright I -cannot do better than refer to Mr. Birrell's delightful lectures.[1] - -[Sidenote: The Royal Prerogative.] - -The first record which we have of any monopoly in the reproduction of -literary work is in the exercise of the alleged prerogative of the -Crown to control the printing-press. No book whatsoever was allowed to -be printed without a licence or grant of monopoly from the Crown. One -of the principal objects in the exercise of this prerogative was the -prevention of the dissemination of religious doctrines contrary to the -accepted faith. - -[Sidenote: The Company of Stationers.] - -[Sidenote: The Star Chamber.] - -Henry VIII. created the Company of Stationers to supervise and -control the publication of books. This company made various rules and -regulations as to the printing of books, and from them licences could -be obtained by an author to print his copy. The Stationers' Company -was first incorporated in the reign of Philip and Mary in 1556. The -Crown enforced its prerogative and the rules of the Stationers' -Company by means of the Court of Star Chamber, which from time to -time passed various decrees, and punished offenders by fine and -imprisonment. - -[Sidenote: The germ of Copyright.] - -[Sidenote: Licences.] - -By this means the Crown until 1640 exercised an unlimited jurisdiction -over the press. In this there was no recognition of a right of -property in the author of a work, but merely an enforcement of the -royal prerogative to control the press. Incidentally, however, a kind -of property sprang up, since the Stationers' Company in granting -licences recognised the right of the author or his assignee to his -copy. Licences were granted to those who showed that they had a right -in the manuscript, and all others were prohibited from infringing the -monopoly. An entry in the records of the Stationers' Company in 1562, -for instance, enacts "That if it be found any other has a right to -any of the copies, then the licence touching such of the copies so -belonging to another shall be void." - -[Sidenote: The Long Parliament.] - -When the Star Chamber was abolished in 1640 the two Houses made an -ordinance prohibiting printing unless the book was first licensed -and entered in the register of the Stationers' Company, and further -prohibiting printing without the consent of the owner. - -[Sidenote: Licensing Statute.] - -At the Restoration a licensing statute[2] was passed similarly -prohibiting printing without licence and without the consent of the -owner. The statute finally expired in 1694. - -On the expiry of the licensing statute, authors and publishers thought -that all protection for literary work was gone, and made strenuous -efforts for new legislation. Bills were brought into Parliament in -1703 and 1706, and finally in 1709 the copyright statute of Anne -became law. - -[Sidenote: 8 Anne, c. 19. The beginning of Statutory Copyright.] - -The Act of Anne created for the first time a statutory property in -books. The author of any book and his assignee or assigns were given -the sole liberty of printing and reprinting such book for the term of -fourteen years from publication "and no longer," and if at the end -of that period the author was still living, then such right returned -to the author for another term of fourteen years. The Act provided -that an offender should forfeit pirated copies and sheets to the -proprietor of the copyright, who was enjoined to "forthwith damask -and make waste paper of them." The Act further imposed a penalty of -one penny for every sheet found in the offender's possession, one -half of the penalties to go to the Crown and the other half to any -person who should sue for the same. The Act made registration in -the Register Book of the Company of Stationers before publication a -condition precedent to an action for the infringement of any book. A -provision was made in this Act for an adjustment of the price of books -by complaint to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor and -others, if booksellers or printers set too high a price upon their -publications. Provision was also made for the delivery of nine copies -at the warehouse of the Stationers' Company for the use of various -libraries. - -[Sidenote: 41 Geo. III., ch. 107.] - -The Act of Anne was amended in some particulars in 1801 by 41 Geo. -III. c. 107. This Act gave the proprietor of the copyright an action -of damages against an offender as well as providing forfeiture and -penalties. - -[Sidenote: 54 Geo. III., ch. 156.] - -The Act of Anne was again amended in 1814 by 54 Geo. III. c. 156. This -latter statute extended the period of copyright to twenty-eight years -certain, and the residue of the author's life thereafter. - -[Sidenote: Copyright at Common Law.] - -[Sidenote: Injunctions in Chancery.] - -After the passing of the statute of Anne those booksellers who were -in the habit of purchasing and publishing authors' manuscripts were -not satisfied with the limited protection accorded to them by that -Act. They discovered, by the aid no doubt of legal advice, that a -further protection might be secured by setting up a common law right -of literary property which would ensure not merely a paltry term of -twenty-eight years, but a perpetual monopoly. The result of this -discovery led to half a century of litigation between the authors' -booksellers and those other smaller booksellers who contended that -they might without licence print those books in which the statutory -copyright had expired. At first the authors' men were successful, and -from 1735 there is a series of cases in Chancery in which a common law -right in published books was undoubtedly recognised and a preliminary -injunction granted, notwithstanding that the period of protection -given by 8 Anne, c. 19, had expired.[3] - -[Sidenote: _Tonson_ v. _Collins_.] - -[Sidenote: A collusive action.] - -These injunctions appear to have been acquiesced in, and the cases -did not proceed to hearing. In 1760, in the case of _Tonson_ v. -_Collins_,[4] the great question of common law right was argued at -law before Lord Mansfield, C. J. The action was in respect of the -_Spectator_, the statutory copyright in which had expired. It was -twice argued before Lord Mansfield, who then ordered that it should -stand over for further argument before all the twelve judges. No -judgment was ever given in the case. Before it could be argued before -the whole Court, information reached the judges that the action was -collusive, brought for the purpose of obtaining a precedent to support -the contention of the authors' men. The Court refused to proceed -further with the cause. - -[Sidenote: _Osborne_ v. _Donaldson_.] - -[Sidenote: _Millar_ v. _Taylor_.] - -[Sidenote: _Donaldson_ v. _Beckett_.] - -It was not long, however, until the question was again raised. In 1765 -Messrs. Osborne & Millar, assignees of the copyright in Thomson's -"Seasons," filed their Bills in Chancery against Donaldson, an -Edinburgh bookseller, who had, without their authority, reprinted -the book after the statutory copyright had expired.[5] A preliminary -injunction was obtained, but subsequently dissolved. Lord Chancellor -Northington said it was a point of so much difficulty and consequence -that he should not determine it at the hearing, but should send it -to law for the opinion of the judges. The question therefore again -came to law, and, in _Millar_ v. _Taylor_,[6] was argued at great -length before Lord Mansfield and Justices Aston, Willis and Yates. -The authors' men were victorious. The Court decided (Yates, J., -dissenting) that there was copyright at common law, and that the -period of protection thereunder was not cut down by the statute of -Anne. This great victory, however, afforded but a short-lived triumph -to literary men. In 1774, in _Donaldson_ v. _Beckett_,[7] the matter -came before the House of Lords on appeal from an order in Chancery, -with the result that the decision in _Millar_ v. _Taylor_[8] was -overruled. In this case all the judges were consulted. Eleven -consulted judges gave their opinion. The questions put to the judges, -and the answers given by them, are as follows: - -[Sidenote: Opinions of the judges.] - -1. Whether at common law an author of any book or literary composition -had the sole right of first printing and publishing the same for sale, -and might bring an action against any person who printed, published, -and sold the same without his consent? - - Eight answered Yes. - One answered No. - Two answered That an action would - only lie if the MS. - were taken by - fraud or violence. - -2. If the author had such right originally did the law take it away -upon his printing or publishing such book or literary composition, and -might any person afterward reprint and sell for his own benefit such -book or literary composition against the will of the author? - - Seven answered No. - Four answered Yes. - -3. If such action would have lain at common law, is it taken away -by the statute of 8th Anne? And is an author by the said statute -precluded from every remedy except on the foundation of the said -statute and on the terms and conditions prescribed thereby? - - Six answered Yes. - Five answered No. - -4. Whether the author of any literary composition and his assigns had -the sole right of printing and publishing the same in perpetuity by -the common law? - - Seven answered Yes. - Four answered No. - -5. Whether this right is in any way impeached or taken away by the -statute of 8th Anne? - - Six answered Yes. - Five answered No. - -[Sidenote: Decision of the House of Lords.] - -[Sidenote: Defeat of the Authors' booksellers.] - -The House of Lords on a division, which included several lay members -of the House, decided by 22 to 11 against the contention that the -common law right survived the statute of Anne and was unrestricted by -it. So the authors and their champions the booksellers were finally -defeated, and had to remain satisfied with the term of protection -afforded to them by statute. - -[Sidenote: Relief for the Universities.] - -The Universities obtained from Parliament statutory relief against the -decision in _Donaldson_ v. _Beckett_. In 1775, the Act of 15 Geo. III. -c. 53 was passed giving them a perpetual copyright in all books which -might be bequeathed to them. This right they still retain. - -[Sidenote: 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45.] - -In 1842 the present literary Copyright Act was passed and the statute -of Anne and the two amending statutes of Geo. III. repealed. The -principal reform is the extension of the term of protection to a -period of forty-two years certain, or for the author's life and seven -years if that should prove longer. Perhaps the other most important -change (it cannot decently be called a reform) is the reduction of -registration at Stationers' Hall to a mere useless and troublesome -technicality. Instead of being as formerly a condition precedent -to protection, and therefore a useful index from which one could -ascertain whether a book was copyright or not, it is now made merely -a condition precedent to action, and registration can be effected the -same day as that on which a writ is issued. - -[Sidenote: Engravings.] - -Meanwhile the engravers as well as the authors had been working for -the proper protection of their art. In 1734 they first obtained a -statute which, together with the amending statutes passed in 1766, -1776, and 1836 respectively, still contains the law of copyright in -engravings, prints, etchings, and similar productions. - -[Sidenote: Sculpture.] - -In 1798 the sculptors obtained an Act. This was repealed by another -Act obtained in 1813. This latter Act still contains the whole law as -to copyright in sculpture. - -[Sidenote: Dramatic Work.] - -[Sidenote: Musical Work.] - -In 1833 authors of dramatic work obtained from Parliament an exclusive -right to perform their plays whether published or unpublished. By the -Literary Copyright Act, 1842, the provisions of that Act are made -applicable to performing rights in dramatic work, and performing -rights are still regulated by both these Acts, which together contain -the law on this subject. The Literary Copyright Act, 1842, also -applied the provisions of both these Acts to performing rights in -musical compositions hitherto unprotected in this respect. As regards -musical composition, the law is amended by two subsequent Acts which -must be read with the two older Acts. - -[Sidenote: Lectures.] - -In 1835 an Act was passed for the protection of copyright in lectures. -This Act, although still in force, has become a dead letter since the -requisite notice to two Justices of the Peace is troublesome, and -lectures receive full protection from copying by common law and under -the Literary Copyright Act, 1842. The Lectures Act never purported to -give anything in the nature of a performing or lecturing right, but -merely a protection from unauthorised reproduction in print. - -[Sidenote: Paintings, Drawings, and Photographs.] - -The artists were the last to obtain protection for their work. It was -not until 1862 that an Act was passed giving statutory protection to -paintings, drawings, and photographs. This Act contains the present -law on the "Fine Arts." - -[Sidenote: International Acts.] - -[Sidenote: The Berne Convention.] - -[Sidenote: The Paris Convention.] - -From 1844 onwards there is a series of Acts known as the International -Copyright Acts which extend the protection of the copyright law to -works published in certain foreign countries. The last and principal -international copyright Act is the International Copyright Act, 1886. -That Act was passed in view of the Berne Convention of 1887 which -was then in contemplation. The Berne Convention is an international -copyright agreement whereby those states which are signatory to it -agree that, subject to its terms, a work first published in any one -of those states shall have copyright in all the others. The Berne -Convention is now amended by the Paris Convention, 1898, and read -together they form the present international agreement. - -[Sidenote: Colonial Acts.] - -There are several statutes dealing with the colonies dating from 1847. - - - - -CHAPTER II - -WHAT BOOKS ARE PROTECTED - - -The following books are protected by statute throughout the -British Dominions:[9] - - 1. Every original book:[10] - 2. First published within the British Dominions:[11] - 3. [The author of which is a British subject or resident within - the British Dominions at the time of first publication:[12]] - 4. Which is innocent:[13] - 5. And has been registered before action:[14] - 6. For 42 years, or the author's life and 7 years, whichever - period is the longer.[15] - - -SECTION I.--WHAT IS AN ORIGINAL BOOK. - -=Definition of a Book.=--"Book" is defined by 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, sec. -2, "to mean and include every volume, part or division of a volume, -pamphlet, sheet of letterpress, sheet of music, map, chart, or plan -separately published." - -As an exhaustive definition this is of little value. It only indicates -what the outward visible form of the "book" must be, and gives no -indication of the nature or quality of the literary matter which it -must contain. Even as a guide to the form it is defective, since it is -only a definition by example and not exhaustively descriptive. In the -absence of an accurate statutory definition of a "book," the Courts -have given a very wide interpretation to the term, and both as to the -form and the matter have strained the ordinary dictionary meaning of -the word to the uttermost. In the light of the decided cases a "book" -might be defined as _original literary matter in such tangible form as -readily conveys ideas or information to the mind of a reader_. - -=Essential Elements of a Book.=--There are three essential elements -which must be found in every book, viz.: - - I. A certain physical form. - II. Literary matter. - III. Originality. - -I. _Physical Form._--The form of the book need not necessarily -constitute what in common parlance is known as a book or volume. -Thus a single sheet of music[16] or a printed leaflet such as an -application form[17] are both books within the meaning of the -Copyright Acts. - -In one case[18] it was held that a newspaper was not a book, but -that decision was not followed,[19] and there can now be no doubt -that a newspaper comes within the definition of a book as a sheet of -letterpress.[20] - -The form must be adapted for conveniently conveying to the mind of a -reader the intellectual matter which the book contains. It will not -be sufficient that it can possibly be used for conveying intellectual -matter to the mind, it must be conveniently adapted for that purpose. -Thus music in the form of a perforated scroll for use in an aeolian -or pianola is not a "book,"[21] for although it can be deciphered -and read by the eye no one in his senses would use it instead of -an ordinary sheet of music. On the other hand literary matter may -nevertheless be in "book" form although it requires a special training -to decipher it. For instance a story written in shorthand characters -is in book form,[22] and no doubt also a story impressed in raised -characters for the blind.[23] - -The substance on which the literary matter is depicted and the manner -of depicting it are probably immaterial; but presumably a "book" -must be at least _ejusdem generis_ as an ordinary printed volume or -leaflet. It must be "something in the nature of a book."[24] Thus -although copies in ordinary manuscript[25] or even engraved on thin -slips of ivory would be in "book" form, an epitaph on a tombstone -probably would not. - -The meaning of the words "separately published" in section 2 is by -no means clear. They do not mean that the matter in which copyright -is claimed must be issued physically separate from any non-copyright -literary matter. In the statute of Anne the words "separately -published" are not used in the definition of a book, but it was -nevertheless argued that a "book" must be entirely the original -work of the author and not bound up with other matter. In _Cary_ v. -_Longman_ Lord Kenyon rejected such an argument. In giving judgment he -said: - - "The courts of justice have long been labouring under an error if - an author have no copyright in any part of a work unless he have - an exclusive right to the whole book."[26] - -Under the statute of Victoria parts of a book bound up with -non-copyright matter have frequently been protected; notes to -non-copyright works,[27] illustrations to non-copyright works,[28] a -small portion of a serial story,[29] a small part of a time table,[30] -have all been protected. Clearly therefore a person may have copyright -in a book although he has not copyright in every part of it.[31] - -_In Johnson_ v. _Newnes_[32] Romer, J., takes the view that -"separately" published means clearly distinguishable. He says: - - "Now in my opinion if you find in a volume separate parts, and - distinguished or perfectly distinguishable from the other parts, - and the volume is published, each part that is separate and - clearly distinguished in the volume itself is separately published - within the meaning of section 2." - -If we accept this as correct we exclude the case of a revised edition -of an old work, the corrections and additions to which forming the new -work are not clearly distinguishable from the old. I am inclined to -think that the real explanation and meaning of "separately published" -is that it does not apply to "volume, part, or division of a volume" -at all, but only to "sheet of letterpress, sheet of music, map, chart, -or plan" which are to be protected, even although they are "separately -published," _i. e._ not bound up into a volume. It was no doubt -inserted as declaratory of the case law under the statute of Anne, -which laid down that a single printed sheet was a "book" within the -meaning of the Act. - -II. _Literary Matter._--No literary merit or great labour is required -to be shown. Lord Halsbury, L. C., in _Walter_ v. _Lane_,[33] referring -to the verbatim reports of Lord Rosebery's speeches which were the -subject-matter of that action, said: - - "Although I think in these compositions (_i. e._ the work of the - stenographer) there is literary merit and intellectual labour, yet - the statute seems to me to require neither--nor originality either - in thought or language ... the right in my view is given by the - statute to the first producer of a book, whether that book be wise - or foolish, accurate or inaccurate, of literary merit, or of no - merit whatever."[34] - -In many of the cases great stress was laid in argument at the bar on -the preamble of the Copyright Act, 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45. The preamble -runs as follows: - - "Whereas it is expedient to amend the law relating to copyright, - and to afford greater encouragement to the production of literary - works of lasting benefit to the world...." - -From this it is argued that the Act intends to protect only those -works which are likely to prove a substantial addition to the world's -literature. Jessel, M. R., in his judgment in _Maple_ v. _Junior Army -and Navy Stores_,[35] points out the fallacy of this argument: - - "The Act does not say that it is expedient to afford greater - encouragement to the production of literary works of lasting - benefit to the world, and to amend the law of copyright relating - thereto, but that it is expedient to amend the law of copyright - generally, merely adding the principal reason for doing so. There - is therefore nothing in the preamble to cut down the enacting - part, even if the enacting part had not been clear."[36] - -Road-books,[37] directories,[38] tradesmen's catalogues,[39] -mercantile statistics,[40] telegraph codes,[41] time tables,[42] -verbatim reports of speeches[43] are all books within the meaning of -the Act. - -It is quite immaterial for what purpose the matter was composed or -published. Personal correspondence,[44] advertisements,[45] and a -mining report[46] are all subjects of copyright if published. - -There must be some composition or arrangement of words, figures, -sentences, or paragraphs which by itself will convey to the mind -of the reader some intelligible proposition.[47] There cannot be -copyright in a single word,[48] even although it expresses a man's -opinion: there is no composition or arrangement. Neither can there -be copyright in a pattern sleeve[49] or the face of a barometer,[50] -because both are really instruments to be used in conjunction with -something else, and although there may be words and sentences on them, -by themselves they convey no intelligible proposition to the reader. -Probably a drunken scrawl, absolutely unintelligible, would not be -protected. A jury having found that such a document was not a literary -composition, the Court of Appeal refused to interfere with their -verdict.[51] - -The illustrations in a book are protected as part of the book,[52] and -a number of drawings bound up together without any letterpress would -be protected as a book,[53] compliance with the provisions of the -artistic Copyright Acts being in such a case unnecessary; but a single -drawing or engraving separately issued can only be protected under the -artistic Acts. - -A map, whether bound in a volume or separately issued, is a book -within the meaning of the Literary Copyright Act, and will be -protected thereunder.[54] - -III. _Originality_ as an essential element of a book means that the -composition in the "book" must not have been copied from some other -literary composition in "book" form. Originality does not necessarily -imply an original composition on the part of the author.[55] Copyright -is given not necessarily to the first composer, but to the first -producer in "book" form of a literary composition.[56] Thus a book -would be an original book if the literary matter contained therein -were taken by the author verbatim from the oral utterances of a public -speaker,[57] or probably if copied from some ancient monument or -mural writing. It would not, however, be original if the author had -merely transcribed the literary matter from some public manuscripts, -even although difficult of access.[58] Again, originality does not -necessarily imply novelty. Another book exactly the same in every -respect, word for word, may have been previously published, and yet -a later book will be original if derived from common sources, and -not copied from the earlier book. Thus two mathematicians may have -independently made the same calculations,[59] two travellers may have -made a chart of the same island or district,[60] or two reporters may -have taken shorthand reports of the same speech.[61] In each case -there would be independent copyright,[62] and the later book, even -although published ten years after the first, would be original. - -Composition may consist in composition in the ordinary sense of -piecing together words, figures, sentences, and paragraphs, in order -to convey certain intellectual ideas, or it may consist in the -arrangement of material, as in the case of directories, lists of -statistics, &c. Sometimes part may be copied and part may be original, -as in the case of new editions,[63] translations,[64] abridgments,[65] -selections from non-copyright authors,[66] precedents of -conveyancing, &c.[67] The new matter only is the subject of copyright. - -[Sidenote: Road Books.] - -=Examples of what are Books.=--Road-books[68] were among the first -works in the protection of which by the Courts it was recognised -that copyright did not necessarily depend on the evidence of any -high mental qualities in the composition. In 1786 an injunction was -granted to restrain the piracy of "Paterson's Road-Book."[69] Lord -Chancellor Loughborough in his judgment said that a book in order to -acquire copyright did not require to be an operation of the mind like -the "Essay on Human Understanding." There might be copyright even -although the subject-matter lay _in medio_, so that every man with -eyes could trace it, and the whole merit of the work depended upon the -accuracy of the observation. In 1776 the Court of Session in Scotland -protected a "Traveller's Pocket-Book," which contained nothing but a -mere list of stages and their distances.[70] The compiler of such a -work may arrive at the same, or nearly the same, result as some other -compiler working over the same country, but if each has made his own -compilation, "counting the milestones for himself,"[71] he will have -copyright and can prevent any one else from infringing such copyright. - -[Sidenote: Directories.] - -Directories[72] soon followed road-books in their claim for -protection. Lord Chancellor Erskine in 1806 hesitated somewhat, -"thinking it dangerous to carry this doctrine of copyright too far," -but ultimately decided that an East India calendar or directory[73] -containing the names and appointments on the Indian establishment, -obtained with considerable labour and expense from the repositories -in India House, was the subject of copyright. This decision was -followed by Lord Chancellor Eldon in 1809 in the case of "A -Court Calendar."[74] In 1861 a street directory of Birmingham was -protected,[75] and in 1866 "Kelly's Post Office London Directory."[76] -In this last-mentioned case it was suggested in defence that the -various residents had given their names for public use, and that -therefore any one could copy them; this contention, however, was -rejected, and it was held that the information contained in a -directory was similar to that in a road-book or map; it was open to -all mankind, but that he who collected and described it was entitled -to prevent any one else from taking the results of his labours. In -_Morris_ v. _Ashbee_,[77] a trade directory, called "The Business -Directory of London," was protected. This work contained the names -and occupations of merchants and traders carrying on business in or -about London. Those traders who paid the proprietor of the directory -one shilling annually were entitled to have their names printed in -capital letters, and a further payment entitled them to "extra lines" -descriptive of their vocations. The defendants took from this work the -names in capital letters and the "extra lines," and contended that -they were entitled to do so; but it was held that the payment by the -several persons whose names were inserted had not the effect of making -the names and descriptions when inserted common property, and that -as the plaintiff had incurred the labour and expense of getting the -necessary information and arranging it, he was entitled to protection. - -[Sidenote: Trade Directory.] - -[Sidenote: Sheet of Advertisements.] - -In _Lamb_ v. _Evans_[78] the defendants had copied extensively from -a trade directory. The directory consisted of a list of tradesmen -in various localities. In some cases their names and addresses only -were entered, and in others more elaborate advertisements containing -descriptions of articles in which the advertiser dealt. The entries -in the directory were classified under headings, giving short -descriptions of the particular trades; each separate heading was -arranged so that the proper catch-words occurred first in alphabetical -order, and each heading was repeated in three other languages -after the English heading. The Court of Appeal held that although -the plaintiffs had no copyright in each individual entry, they had -copyright at least in the headings. They were the result of literary -labour both as regards the composition of the headings themselves and -their collocation and concatenation in the book.[79] Their Lordships -were also of opinion, although they said it was unnecessary to decide -the question, that there was copyright in the mass of advertisements -as collected and arranged. Lindley, L. J., said: - - "I do not see myself the difficulty in the publishers having a - copyright in a sheet of advertisements. I do see a difficulty - in his having a copyright in one advertisement, because, as Mr. - Justice Chitty pointed out, that might prevent the advertiser from - republishing his advertisements in another paper, which is absurd. - But to say that it follows from that that the proprietor, say of - the _Times_, has no copyright in a sheet of advertisements so that - he cannot restrain anybody from copying that sheet appears to me a - very different proposition."[80] - -[Sidenote: Catalogues.] - -Tradesmen's catalogues, consisting of lists descriptive or otherwise -of the articles in which they deal, have been often attacked as -being devoid of literary merit. In _Hotten_ v. _Arthur_[81] the -plaintiff's copyright in a descriptive catalogue of old books which -he had in stock was challenged. This catalogue was not a mere list -of the books by name, but contained short notices of the contents -and general nature of the various volumes. Page Wood, V. C., found -no difficulty in deciding that such a catalogue was the subject of -copyright, notwithstanding that the catalogues were for the purpose of -advertising the plaintiff's stock-in-trade, and were not themselves -offered for sale. In _Cobbett_ v. _Woodward_[82] the doctrine laid -down by Page Wood, V. C., received a check. In that case the plaintiff -had published a catalogue containing numerous engravings and -illustrations of designs and articles of furniture which were sold by -his firm. Lord Romilly, M. R., refused to grant an injunction against a -rival tradesman who, in a similar publication, appropriated at least -fifty of the plaintiff's illustrations, and in his judgment he said: - -[Sidenote: Advertisements.] - - "But at the last it always comes round to this, that there is no - copyright in an advertisement. If you copy the advertisement of - another, you do him no wrong, unless in doing so you lead the - public to believe that you sell the articles of the person whose - advertisement you copy."[83] - -The next case in which this question came before the Courts was -_Grace_ v. _Newman_.[84] The book infringed was a volume containing -lithographic sketches of monumental designs, and a little letterpress. -The sole object of the book was to serve as an advertisement in the -plaintiff's business of "Cemetery Stone and Marble Mason." Hall, -V. C., granted an injunction, evading _Cobbett_ v. _Woodward_[85] -and following _Hotten_ v. _Arthur_.[86] In 1882 _Cobbett_ v. -_Woodward_[87] was expressly overruled in the Court of Appeal in -the case of _Maple & Co._ v. _Junior Army and Navy Stores_.[88] The -plaintiffs published an illustrated catalogue consisting almost -entirely of engravings of furniture with short descriptions and -prices. The catalogue was prepared by selecting articles of furniture -which were drawn by artists in their employment and then engraved. The -Court of Appeal sustaining the opinion of Hall, V. C., in the Court -below, held that the catalogue was the subject of copyright as a book. -Jessel, M. R., said: - - "The case which has done all the mischief is _Cobbett_ v. - _Woodward_.[89]... I think that is not law. I am not aware that - the use to which a proprietor puts his book makes any difference - in his rights. His copyright gives him the exclusive right of - multiplying copies, and he may use them as he pleases. I think, - therefore, that _Cobbett_ v. _Woodward_[90] will not bear legal - examination."[91] - -[Sidenote: Alphabetical Catalogue of Tradesmen's Goods.] - -In _Collis_ v. _Cater_[92] North, J., protected a catalogue of -medicinal articles which the plaintiff kept for sale. The articles -were arranged by their common names in alphabetical order under -various headings and sub-headings. The learned judge strongly -negatived the contention that a tradesman's catalogue would only be -protected when, as in _Hotten_ v. _Arthur_,[93] some amount of skill or -literary merit was shown. He said: - - "A distinction is made between copyright in a large catalogue - by a clever author which gives a great deal of information, and - is interesting to persons who read it, and a catalogue like - the plaintiffs, which is nothing whatever but a simple list of - certain articles described by their common names, which every - one is entitled to use with respect to them with the addition of - the prices at which they are sold.... In one way or another a - man engaged in preparing a catalogue of this sort has incurred - labour in its preparation, or it may be expense and trouble in its - preparation, and has done it for the advantage of having his own - catalogue.... I cannot see any distinction between this and the - publication of a directory. It seems to me to be exactly _in pari - materia_." - -[Sidenote: Telegraph Codes.] - -A list of telegraphic code words carefully selected so that, in their -transmission by the Morse system of dots and dashes, they would not -be liable to be mistaken or misspelt was admitted to be a copyright -work in _Ager_ v. _P. & O. Steam Navigation Co._[94] The same book, -"The Standard Telegram Code," was again protected in _Ager_ v. -_Collingridge_.[95] - -[Sidenote: Shipping Statistics.] - -[Sidenote: Mineral Statistics.] - -Lists of statistics compiled from various sources of information -are well recognised as original books. "The Clyde Bill of Entry and -Shipping List," containing a compilation of statistics collected from -the official records and documents in the Custom houses, was protected -in Scotland in 1846[96] and again in 1858.[97] The "Mineral Statistics -of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" was protected in -England in 1867.[98] It consisted of an annual statement of returns in -the City of London coal market, showing the quantity of coal imported -into London from the various collieries, and was compiled by the clerk -and registrar of the coal market from the day-books in the office. -Page Wood, V. C., said: - - "A great deal of time and labour must have been spent in this - compilation, more, indeed, than in the case of a directory or - guide, and there can be no doubt that he is entitled to be - protected in the fruits of his labour."[99] - -[Sidenote: Lists taken from public documents.] - -[Sidenote: List of Bills of Sale.] - -Compilations made from public documents and records are protected in -so far as there is selection or arrangement. A mere verbatim copy of a -public document would not be protected.[100] In _Trade Auxiliary Co._ -v. _Middlesborough_,[101] "Stubbs' Weekly Gazette" was protected from -infringement. The gazette contained a list of bills of sale registered -under the Bills of Sale Act and of deeds of arrangement registered -under the Deeds of Arrangement Act. The particulars of each bill of -sale had been taken from the official records, not merely from the -indexes on the official register but from the instruments themselves, -for the inspection of each of which a charge of 1s. or 2s. 6d. is -made. The same and other similar lists were also protected in _Cate_ -v. _Devon_.[102] - -[Sidenote: Specifications of Patents.] - -In _Wyatt_ v._ Barnard_[103] Lord Chancellor Eldon refused protection -to a copy of specifications of patents taken from the patent office. -If this decision meant that a selection, arrangement, or abridgment -of the specifications in the patent office would not be protected, it -cannot be considered sound law. - -[Sidenote: List of Foxhounds.] - -In _Cox_ v. _Land and Water_[104] Malins, V. C., although he refused -to grant an injunction on the grounds of its probable inefficacy, -expressed a strong opinion that a list of packs of foxhounds, with the -hunting days of each pack and their respective masters and huntsmen, -was the subject of property. The information contained in the list was -obtained by issuing circulars requesting the masters of the hunt to -fill up the required information. The Vice-Chancellor in his judgment -said: - - "It is clear that in this case the getting of the names of masters - of hunts, the number of hounds, the huntsmen and whips, and so - forth is information open to all those who seek to obtain it; - but it is information they must get at their own expense, as the - result of their own labour, and they are not to be entitled to the - results of the labours undergone by others." - -[Sidenote: Time Tables.] - -One of the leading cases in this branch of copyright law is _Leslie_ -v. _Young_,[105] a Scotch appeal case. The pursuer's book consisted -of a monthly penny railway time table, published in Perth. It was -compiled from the various railway companies' time tables. Some of -these were taken verbatim and some were abridged by the smaller -stations being omitted, and to the whole was added a list of -convenient circular tours around Perth compiled by the pursuer. -The defender in compiling a rival time table, copied many of these -tables and all of the circular tours from the pursuer's book, either -literally or with colourable differences only. As regards the time -tables the House of Lords sustained the judgment of the Inner House -in refusing an interdict. The mere publication, they said, in any -particular order of the time tables which are to be found in railway -guides and the publications of the different railway companies, could -not be claimed as a subject-matter of copyright. In dealing with the -abridged time tables Lord Herschell, L. C., said: - - "Looking at these tables as a whole, and having regard to the - fact that it is admitted that the defender's work is, as regards - these tables, not by any means in all respects a copy of the - pursuer's work, that it was not denied that there was a certain - amount of original work done by them in compiling these tables, - and that these are the differences which have been pointed out, - I do not think that it can be said that as regards these tables - there has been an appropriation by the defender of the pursuer's - work such as to entitle the pursuer to complain and to obtain the - interdict which he claims. The real truth is that although it is - not to be disputed that there may be copyright in a compilation or - abstract involving independent labour, yet when you come to such - a subject-matter as that with which we are dealing, it ought to - be clearly established that, looking at these tables as a whole, - there has been a substantial appropriation by the one party of - the independent labour of the other before any proceeding on the - ground of copyright can be justified." - -As regards the circular tours the House of Lords reversed the judgment -of the Court of Session and granted an interdict. The Lord Chancellor -said: - - "It appears to me the only part of the work which can be said - to indicate any considerable amount of independent labour and - be entitled to be regarded as an original work.... It seems - to me that this was a compilation containing an abridgment of - information of a very useful character, and such as was likely - to be taken advantage of by those who were travelling in the - neighbourhood of Perth." - -[Sidenote: Tables of Calculation.] - -Mathematical calculations are undoubtedly subjects of copyright. In -_Baily_ v. _Taylor_[106] Sir John Leach, M. R., evidently assumed -that they were, although in that case he refused an injunction on -the grounds that a very small part had been copied, that what was -copied could have been calculated again in a few hours, and that -there was unreasonable delay in bringing the action. In _M'Neill_ v. -_Williams_[107] protection was sought for "Comprehensive Tables for -the Calculation of Earthwork as connected with Railways," &c. Knight -Bruce, V. C., refused an interim injunction, but he did not suggest -that the calculations were not the subject of copyright. - -[Sidenote: Forms and Precedents.] - -[Sidenote: Conveyancing Precedents.] - -Forms and Precedents and similar works are made and published for the -very purpose that they should be bought and used in business or other -transactions. To this extent copying is of course no infringement, -but they will be protected from any copying other than that which is -impliedly permitted by their publication. In _Webb_ v. _Rose_[108] -precedents of conveyancing were stolen from a barrister's chambers and -printed against his will. The Court had not the least hesitation in -restraining the defendant from printing and publishing them. In the -Scotch case of _Alexander_ v. _Mackenzie_[109] the claim of "Styles -and Precedents of Conveyancing" to protection under the Copyright Acts -was recognised by the Inner House. The forms in question were drawn -up from general directions contained in the "Heritable Securities and -Infeftments Acts," and it was contended that, as all who followed -these directions must arrive at almost identically the same result, -there could be no copyright in a precedent so produced. The Court was -unanimously of opinion that although such work did not require the -exercise of original or creative genius, yet it implied industry and -knowledge, and was undoubtedly the subject of copyright. - -[Sidenote: Application Form.] - -In _Southern_ v. _Bailes_[110] a form of application by intending -students to a "Lessons by Correspondence Department" was protected by -Chitty, J. The learned judge granted an injunction against copying -the plaintiff's form, but thought it would be dangerous to extend the -injunction in such a matter to colourable imitations, as there was a -great deal in the form any one could have put together for himself. - -[Sidenote: Selections and Extracts from Non-copyright Works.] - -[Sidenote: Collection of Cookery Recipes.] - -[Sidenote: Topographical Dictionary.] - -[Sidenote: Child's A B C.] - -[Sidenote: "Guide to Science."] - -It was very early recognised that the skill and labour of selecting -and arranging extracts from previously published books was sufficient -to entitle the compiler to copyright in the new work thereby -produced.[111] Copyright can thus be obtained without the composition -of a single sentence. There is composition, but the composition is of -new arrangement and not of new matter. In _Rundell_ v. _Murray_[112] -Lord Chancellor Eldon expressed his opinion that a collection of -cookery recipes would have entitled the plaintiff who collected them -to copyright, even if she had merely embodied and arranged them in a -book. If, however, she had only collected them and handed them over -to the publishers, he did not think that would give her copyright. -In _Lewis_ v. _Fullarton_[113] "The Topographical Dictionary of -England," which consisted partly of compilations and selections from -former works, was recognised as being the subject of copyright. In -_Lennie_ v. _Pillans_[114] the Court of Session in Scotland were -of opinion that "The Child's A B C," consisting in a great degree -of extracts from and repetition of previous publications by other -authors, was entitled to protection on account of the original -arrangement, selection, abridgment, or amplification of such borrowed -materials. In _Jarrold_ v. _Houlston_[115] Page Wood, V. C., granted -an injunction against the piracy of Dr. Brewer's "Guide to Science." -The book was intended for the instruction of tiros in science, and was -composed largely from previous works, aided by notes taken from time -to time of popular ideas concerning various scientific phenomena. The -Vice-Chancellor said: - - "That an author has a copyright in a work of this description is - beyond all doubt. If any one by pains and labour collects and - reduces into the form of a systematic course of instruction those - questions which he may find ordinary persons asking in reference - to the common phenomena of life, with answers to these questions - and explanations of these phenomena, whether such explanations - and answers are furnished by his own recollection of his former - general reading or out of works consulted by him for the express - purpose, the reduction of questions so collected, with such - answers under certain heads and in a scientific form, is amply - sufficient to constitute an original work of which the copyright - will be protected." - -[Sidenote: French Dictionary.] - -The same judge, in _Spiers_ v. _Brown_,[116] in considering an alleged -infringement of "Spiers' School Dictionary," said: - - "In a large part of his work Dr. Spiers could have no copyright as - to words and expressions, though he might have it as to new words - introduced or new acceptations, or as to the order and arrangement - by which he improved the particular work he had in hand." - -[Sidenote: Selections of Poetry.] - -In an Indian case Palgrave's "Golden Treasury of Songs and Lyrics" was -protected. It consisted in a selection and arrangement of poems and -fragments of poems from the non-copyright works of many poets. The -defendant took the selected portions, rearranged them, and made a few -additions. His book was condemned as an infringement.[117] - -[Sidenote: Abridgments.] - -Lawfully made abridgments are protected on account of the judgment -which the abridger must exercise in order to do his work well.[118] - -[Sidenote: Translations.] - -Lawfully made translations are also protected as if they were original -works.[119] The protection will only extend to the work of the -translator. A translator by translating a non-copyright work acquires -no exclusive right to translate. Others may do the same from the -original non-copyright source. - -[Sidenote: Adaptations.] - -An author is entitled to copyright by reason of lawful adaptation of a -book from one form to another; thus, if he dramatizes a novel, or by -material alteration and rearrangement produces a new version of an -old play.[120] The adaptation of music, for instance an opera score -for the pianoforte,[121] or the rearrangement of an old tune,[122] is -the subject of copyright. - -[Sidenote: New Editions and Notes.] - -New editions either of copyright or non-copyright works are protected -as original books, but only to the extent to which they consist of -original material in the way of notes to, or substantial revision -and alteration of the old text. Lord Chancellor Hardwicke[123] -granted an injunction against the piracy of a new edition of Milton's -"Paradise Lost" containing original notes by Dr. Newton. In _Cary_ v. -_Longman_[124] new material added to an old road-book was protected. -In _Murray_ v. _Bogue_[125] in the case of a subsequent edition of a -guide-book, Kindersley, V. C., said: - - "If a man prints a second edition, not being a mere reprint of - the first edition, but containing considerable and material - alterations and additions, _quoad_ those, it is a new work."[126] - -In _Cadell_ v. _Anderson_[127] the Court of Session in Scotland held -that the pursuers had the sole right of printing and reprinting -"Blackstone's Commentaries;" and as regards those editions in which -there were corrections and continuations, their term of copyright -began to run afresh with respect to such new material. In _Black_ v. -_Murray & Son_[128] the notes in Lockhart's edition of Scott's "Border -Minstrelsy" were protected, the copyright in the original edition of -the "Border Minstrelsy" having expired. Lord President Inglis, in the -course of a long and elaborate judgment, said: - - "Questions of great nicety and difficulty may arise as to how far - a new edition of a work is a proper subject of copyright at all; - but that must always depend upon circumstances. A new edition of - a book may be a mere reprint of an old edition, and plainly that - would not entitle the author to a new term of copyright running - from the date of the new edition. On the other hand, the new - edition of a book may be so enlarged and improved as to constitute - in reality a new work, and that just as clearly will entitle the - author to a copyright running from the date of the new edition.... - That there may be copyright in the notes, even when the book is - not under the protection of copyright, is quite a fixed principle - in the law, and most desirably so. There is no doubt that the - compilation of good notes to a standard work is a task worthy of - the highest literary talents and reputation.... Of the 200 notes - the defender's counsel tells us that 15 only consist of original - matter, while the remaining 185 are quotations from other books - and authors. Now this seemed to be considered to be a sort of - disparagement of the value of the notes, in which I cannot at - all agree.... The quotations are, in many places, most apposite, - and highly illustrative of the text, and exceedingly interesting - to the reader, and certainly the selection and application of - such quotations from other books may exercise as high literary - faculties as the composition of original matter." - -If a new edition is a mere reprint of what has been published -in "book" form before, it is obvious that no new or independent -copyright can be claimed in it.[129] So also if there are only slight -corrections, verbal alterations, and the like. Lord Mackenzie, in the -Scotch case of _Hedderwick_ v. _Griffin_,[130] said: - - "I doubt very much if there can be right of literary property - in the exclusion from an edition of the works of any author of - articles not truly written or published by that author, or in the - correction of accidental errors, or in the mere order and titles - of articles which seem to be all, or nearly all, that can be - claimed by the pursuers in this case."[131] - -The publication of an old work with an index not previously published -would undoubtedly be copyright as to the index.[132] - -In _Black_ v. _Murray_[133] Lord Deas was of opinion that the -alteration of a single word in a poem was sufficient to give a new -edition an independent copyright, inasmuch as the alteration was very -important and entirely altered the meaning of the line in which it was -used. The other judges, however, did not altogether concur in Lord -Deas' opinion; and it would seem that his lordship stretched the law -as to new editions too far. - -[Sidenote: Reports.] - -[Sidenote: Law Reports.] - -The question whether a verbatim report of oral proceedings is a "book" -within the meaning of the Copyright Acts was long a moot question. -That there might be copyright in law reports and similar matter, -in so far as they consisted of a summary of the proceedings in the -author's own language, was early recognised. In _Butterworth_ v. -_Robinson_[134] the "Term Reports"; in _Sweet_ v. _Shaw_,[135] Meeson -and Welsby's reports, and others; and in _Sweet_ v. _Maughan_[136] -the reports in the "Jurist" were protected; but it does not appear -in the reports of these cases whether any copyright was claimed in -the verbatim reports of the judgment of the Court. In _Saunders_ v. -_Smith_[137] Lord Cottenham, L. C., refused an injunction against -"Smith's Leading Cases" on equitable grounds, but said he would not -decide the legal question as to whether that publication infringed -the copyright in the "Term Reports" and others. In _Sweet_ v. -_Benning_[138] the defendants published a "Monthly Digest" into -which were copied numerous head notes of cases taken bodily from the -"Jurist." The Court held that these head notes were copyright, and -that the defendant's work was an infringement. - - "The head note or the side or marginal note of a report is a - thing upon which much skill and exercise of thought are required - to express in clear and concise language the principle of law - to be deduced from the decision to which it is prefixed, or the - facts and circumstances which bring the case in hand within some - principle or rule of law or of practice."[139] - -[Sidenote: Verbatim Reports.] - -So far, therefore, as appears from the reports of these cases our -Courts had only recognised copyright in the matter of reports to the -extent to which that matter was the composition of the author, only, -in short, when it was a description in his own language of what had -taken place. The American Courts had held[140] that there was no -copyright in the verbatim report of a judgment of the Court, but -their decisions were based to a large extent on the ground of public -policy. The judgments of the Court, they said, were published to the -whole of the people of the United States, and no individual could -acquire a monopoly with respect to them. _Walter_ v. _Lane_[141] -has to a large extent cleared up the doubtful state of our law as -regards reports, but it cannot be said that it has done so entirely. -_Walter_ v. _Lane_[142] decides that a reporter can have copyright -in a verbatim report of the oral utterances of another from whom he -derives no title. In that case certain reporters of the _Times_ were -present at various meetings at which Lord Rosebery made speeches. -These speeches were taken down in shorthand and appeared in the -_Times_ the following morning, reproducing as nearly as possible -verbatim the words which Lord Rosebery had spoken. Lane, a publisher, -subsequently published a book entitled "Appreciations and Addresses: -Lord Rosebery," and purporting to be a collection of some of Lord -Rosebery's speeches. Five of the speeches in this book were taken -from the reports in the _Times_, as was admitted by the defendant, -substantially verbatim. The House of Lords reversing the judgment of -the Court of Appeal and restoring the judgment of North, J., held that -the reports in the _Times_ were copyright, and that the reporters' -assignees, the proprietors of the _Times_, were the owners of the -copyright. Lord Chancellor Halsbury in his judgment said: - - "My Lords, I should very much regret it if I were compelled to - come to the conclusion that the state of the law permitted one - man to make profit and to appropriate to himself the labour, - skill, and capital of another. And it is not denied that in this - case the defendant seeks to appropriate to himself what has been - produced by the skill, labour, and capital of others. In the view - I take of this case I think the law is strong enough to restrain - what to my mind would be a grievous injustice.... The speeches - and the sheets of letterpress in which they were contained were - books first published in this country; and I confess, upon looking - at the definition and the right conferred, I am wholly unable - to discern why they are not protected by the statute from being - pirated by unauthorised persons. The sole ground, as I understand - the judgment of the Court of Appeal, is that in their judgment the - producer of a written speech, unless he is the original speaker, - cannot be an 'author' within the meaning of the Act. My Lords, - it seems to me that this argument is based upon too narrow and - misleading a use of the word 'author.'... The producer of this - written composition is, to my mind, the person who is the author - of the book within the meaning of the statute.... I do not find - the word 'original' in the statute, or any word which imparts it - as a condition precedent, or makes originality of thought or idea - necessary to the right."[143] - -We must be careful not to carry the doctrine of _Walter_ v. -_Lane_[144] further than the actual decision warrants. It should -be noticed, for instance, that the essence of the case is that the -reporter was entitled to copyright, because it was he who first -reduced to "book" form the literary composition contained in Lord -Rosebery's speeches. If, therefore, Lord Rosebery had, before -delivering his speeches, done as some statesmen and many clergymen -do, _i. e._, reduced them to writing, the reporter would probably not -have had copyright, since his report would then have been a mere copy -of the speaker's original manuscript, a very different thing from -being the first manuscript.[145] Again, it must be noticed that Lord -Rosebery claimed no proprietary right in his speeches. It was admitted -by counsel that he had freely abandoned his words to the world so that -any one might make of them what use he pleased. Lord Rosebery might -have secured a right in his own speeches if he had cared to do so. He -might have delivered them to a limited audience[146] under an implied -contract that those who heard his speeches should make no other use of -them except by listening to them and benefiting by the entertainment -and general information conveyed. Possibly he might also have secured -a statutory copyright in them as lectures by giving notice in writing -two days before delivering the same to two justices living within four -miles of the place of delivery.[147] If in either of these ways Lord -Rosebery had secured a proprietary right for himself it is doubtful -whether a reporter unauthorised by him could have acquired copyright -in his report. The report would have been an infringement of Lord -Rosebery's rights, but the reporter might nevertheless be held to -have a copyright against the rest of the world. It should also be -noticed in connexion with this case that it was expressly stated by -the judges in the House of Lords that any number of reporters could -make a report of the same speech, and each would have a separate -copyright. In _Walter_ v. _Lane_[148] the defendant admitted that -he took his book from the _Times'_ report. It is obvious, however, -that if a speech were reported in, say, six newspapers, any one -could reprint it, and by careful correction of the parts in which -the reports varied baffle any one of the newspaper proprietors in an -attempt to prove that the speech was taken from his newspaper. Another -question with regard to verbatim reports, which is not necessarily -covered by _Walter_ v. _Lane_,[149] is in reference to verbatim -reports of judgments in the Courts. Will the American doctrine be -adopted that it is against public policy that there should be any -monopoly in them?[150] - -[Sidenote: Mechanical Devices.] - -[Sidenote: Cricket Scoring Card.] - -The law of copyright does not protect anything in the nature of a -mechanical device, except in so far as apart from any mechanical -application it conveys ideas or information to the person reading it. -In _Page_ v. _Wisden_[151] it was claimed by the plaintiff that he -had literary copyright in a cricket-scoring card, the only novelty -in which was a line along which could be indicated "Runs at the -fall of each wicket." Malins, V. C., held that such a thing was not -a book within the Act, and characterised it as absurd to contend -that a particular mode of ruling a book constituted an object for a -copyright.[152] - -[Sidenote: Shadow Trick.] - -[Sidenote: Barometer Face.] - -In _Cable_ v. _Mark_,[153] Bacon, V. C., refused to protect under the -Literary Act "The Christograph--the Christian's Puzzle: suitable -for all sects and denominations." This consisted of an envelope on -which the above title was inscribed. Inside the envelope was a card -perforated in such a way that when held up in a strong light it threw -upon the wall a shadow which was supposed to represent the picture -"Ecce Homo." The Vice-Chancellor in his judgment described it as a -mere child's trick and nothing else. The face of a barometer was -held by Chitty, J., in _Davis_ v. _Comitti_[154] not to be a book. -It consisted of a circular card on which were printed various words -such as "set fair," "high winds," &c., and on which the hands of the -barometer moved. The learned judge said: - - "Separated from the instrument it was not intended to have and - has no use or meaning whatever. Regarded as a card apart from - the instrument it not only foretells nothing, but tells nothing. - By reading the printed matter on the card alone, no intelligible - proposition is arrived at." - -[Sidenote: Sleeve Chart.] - -Protection was claimed in _Hollinrake_ v. _Truswell_[155] for a -cardboard pattern sleeve called the "Cosmopolitan Sleeve Chart." It -consisted of a piece of cardboard cut to suitable shape and size and -marked with figures and directions, such as "measure round the thick -part of the arm," and it was intended to be used for the purpose of -measuring and cutting out sleeves. The Court of Appeal reversed the -judgment of Wright, J., and dismissed the action. Lord Herschell -said: - - "The object of the Copyright Act was to prevent any one publishing - a copy of the particular form of expression in which an author - conveyed ideas or information to the world. These may be retained - by any one, although the book, map, or chart which embodied them - has passed out of his possession. If he were to commit to memory - the contents of the book or the information disclosed by the map - or chart, he would be as much in possession of the author's ideas - or information as if the book, map, or chart were physically in - his hands. But this is not the case with the words or figures upon - the sleeve chart. They are intended to be used, and can only be - used in connection with that upon which they are inscribed.... I - think it clear, therefore, that what the plaintiff has sought to - protect under the Act for the protection of literary productions - is not a literary production, but an apparatus for the use of - which certain words and figures must necessarily be inscribed upon - it."[156] - -[Sidenote: Railway Ticket.] - -In a Canadian case a railway ticket containing the names of stations -on the line and dates so arranged that when punched it indicated where -the holder was entitled to travel, was refused protection. It was -said that without the application of the conductor's punch, the ticket -was senseless and meaningless.[157] - -[Sidenote: Scroll for Mechanical Instrument and Directions thereon.] - -In _Boosey_ v. _Whight_[158] it was held that a sheet of music was not -infringed by a perforated scroll for use in a mechanical instrument; -and further, that the directions in the printed music, _e. g. pp., -crescendo_, were not the subject of copyright apart from the printed -sheet, and therefore might be taken and used in conjunction with the -perforated scroll. It seems to follow that neither the perforated -scroll nor the directions thereon would constitute a "book" within the -meaning of the Act. - -[Sidenote: Sporting Tips.] - -_Chilton's Special Guide_ published weekly sporting information. Among -other matter it contained their sporting prophet's "tips" for the big -races in the ensuing week. This was contained in a list, thus: - - ONE HORSE SELECTIONS. - - _Tuesday_ Keelson. - _Wednesday_ Priestholm. - _Thursday_ Coelus. - _Friday_ Dromonby. - -The Progress Printing and Publishing Company published daily at the -various race meetings racing sheets with the day's "tips" from various -sporting papers, thus: - - THE SPECIALS, ONE HORSE TRIALS. - - _The Jockey_ Rusina - _Racing World_ Keelson - _Gale's_ Keelson - _Chilton_ Keelson. - _Grant's Opinion_ Juda. - _Turf Marvel_ Kenney. - -The Court of Appeal held[159] that there could be no copyright in the -individual selections for each day, but suggested that there might be -copyright in the list of selections for the week, and that it would be -an infringement to take it bodily. Lindley, L. J., in giving judgment, -said: - - "Unless you find the one horse selection and that block which is - headed by the title 'One Horse Selections' in the shape in which - the plaintiff has published it, I doubt whether you can bring - it within literary composition at all. Perhaps the whole of that - might be called literary composition; but there is no literary - composition in the word 'Priestholm.'"[160] - -[Sidenote: Illustrations.] - -[Sidenote: To Non-copyright Letterpress.] - -Engravings, prints, designs, or other reproductions of artistic -matter will be protected under the law of literary copyright either -when published in the form of a volume or when published in connexion -and together with letterpress. By this means compliance with the -stringent requirements of the Acts relating to artistic copyright is -avoided. The first case where an illustration was held to be part of -a book, and therefore protected under 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, was _Bogue_ -v. _Houlston_.[161]. The plaintiff published some old non-copyright -tales, including "Reynard the Fox," and illustrated them with original -drawings of animals. These woodcuts were pirated by the defendants, -and used as illustrations in their serial publication, "The Story-Book -for Young People, by Aunt Mary." The plaintiff did not claim copyright -in any letterpress.[162] The defendants maintained that the woodcuts -not having been published so as to comply with the provisions of the -Engravings Acts, could not be protected from piracy. It was held, -however, that they were part of a book. Parker, V. C., in giving -judgment, quoted the definition of a book from the Act 5 & 6 Vict. c. -45, and continued: - - "This definition does not extend to prints or designs separately - published, but only to the prints and designs forming part of a - book, and the book is not less a book because it contains prints - or designs or other illustrations of the letterpress. This Act - vested in the proprietor of such book duly registered the right to - sue in respect of any invasion or infringement of the copyright of - his book. It appears to me that a book must include every part of - the book; it must include every print, design, or engraving which - forms part of the book as well as the letterpress therein which is - another part of it."[163] - -[Sidenote: No Letterpress.] - -[Sidenote: Christmas Card.] - -[Sidenote: Plate issued separately.] - -In _Maple & Co_. v. _Junior Army and Navy Stores_,[164] the engravings -in an illustrated catalogue, containing almost no letterpress, were -protected under 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45. "There may be such things," -said Jessel, M. R., "as picture-books for those who cannot read -letterpress."[165] In _Hildesheimer & Faulkner_ v. _Dunn & Co._,[166] -protection was claimed for a Christmas card cut out and painted in -the form of a lady's hand. It opened out book-wise, and inside were -delineated the lines of life according to the rules of palmistry, and -on one side there was an original verse. This work was registered -both under 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 as a book and 25 & 26 Vict. c. 68 as a -painting. Kekewich, J., in granting an injunction against a piracy, -said he would not decide whether the work was a picture or a book, but -as it was well registered under both Acts, an action lay. In _Comyns_ -v. _Hyde_,[167] a coloured plate representing an Orpington cock was -issued with the weekly number of a serial publication called _The -Feathered World_. The plate was not in any way physically connected -with the rest of the publication, but it was illustrative of an -article in the journal, and a copy was given to every purchaser. -Stirling, J., held that it must be protected as part of the book. If -a plate or picture has been previously published in separate form, -without complying with the provisions of the Engravings Acts, it will -not subsequently receive protection by reason of its incorporation -into a volume.[168] In _Strong_ v. _Worskett_[169] a magazine was -before publication advertised by means of illustrated posters. The -same illustration as appeared on the posters was afterwards reproduced -in the magazine. It was held that it could not be protected as part -of the magazine. The result of these decisions appears to be that an -artistic work will be protected under the Literary Copyright Act, -1842, if it is bound up with other artistic works in the form of a -volume, or if it is published in connexion with letterpress. The -picture on a Christmas card on which there are also verses, would, it -is submitted, be protected as a book, and, it would seem, whether or -not the verses were copyright, and whether or not (but this is more -doubtful) the picture was in any way illustrative of the verses. It is -also submitted that an engraving published in a magazine without any -relation to the letterpress, except that of physical connexion, would -be protected as part of the book; but an engraving or print which had -neither any relation to the letterpress nor physical connexion would -probably not be protected even although issued gratis with every copy -of the magazine. - -It need hardly be said that anonymous works are entitled to copyright. -The publication of a work without the author's name is not to be -construed as an abandonment of the literary property.[170] - -[Sidenote: Maps.] - -Maps, charts, and plans are expressly included in the definition of a -"book." If incorporated in a volume they will be protected with the -rest of the volume under its general title; if published separately -they will be protected as "books" by themselves. The meaning of -"maps," &c., will be literally construed; but it must be something -which in itself conveys information to the person studying it. Davey, -L. J., in speaking of maps, said:[171] - - "I agree ... that a 'map' is not confined to what is popularly - known as a map--viz. a geographical map; and that a 'chart' is - not confined to what is popularly called a chart--viz. a map of a - portion of the seas showing the rocks, soundings, and such-like - information for the use of navigators.... There may, no doubt, be - an anatomical and physiological plan showing the structure and - distribution of the muscles and bones of the human arm, or any - other part of the human frame, which would be protected by the - Copyright Act." - -[Sidenote: Music.] - -The exclusive right of making copies of original music is expressly -protected by the Act of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 under the definition of a -book. Under the statute of Anne it was protected by case law, "book" -being held to include a volume or sheet of music.[172] - - -SECTION II.--PUBLICATION. - -Publication divests the author or proprietor of an unpublished work -of his common law rights therein. After publication his right to -protection depends solely upon the statute. Publication must be looked -at from two points of view--divestitive, _i. e._ as taking away the -author's common law right; and investitive, _i. e._ as clothing him -with the statutory right. - -=Divestitive Publication.=--If a literary work is communicated -to the public without restriction, the common law right of the -author terminates. This may be done orally or by written or printed -manuscript. Either kind of communication, however, may be so limited -as not to amount to a publication. A drama or musical work is not -published by being publicly performed in a theatre or concert -room,[173] since the communication is limited to those who have paid -their price for admission, and they are admitted under an implied -contract that they will not make any use of what they hear except -for their own entertainment and instruction. The same applies to -lectures delivered at a University[174] or by a private lecturer.[175] -The question as to when a public speaker or preacher publishes the -speech or sermon which he delivers is one of extreme difficulty, and -depends on the relation of the speaker to his audience.[176] If a -literary composition is orally communicated in a place to which all -have admission as of right, or to which all are admitted without -distinction, and where there are no circumstances from which a -contractual relationship between the speaker and his audience can -be inferred, the matter so communicated will be abandoned to the -public to make what use of it they please. Similarly communication -by means of manuscript or print may be limited or unlimited. Private -distribution of copies of a book is not publication, because the -essence of publication is that the matter must be available to all -comers and not only to a class;[177] but the issue of a book to -subscribers only would be publication if the subscription list was -open to the public at large, and even although the number of copies -available was very small. In one case[178] the words of a song were -held to be published by being printed on a music-hall programme and -distributed in the streets as an advertisement. Exhibition in a public -place without distribution of copies would undoubtedly be divestitive -publication. Divestitive publication must be with the consent of the -proprietor; an unlicensed publication would merely be an infringement -of his rights. - -=Investitive Publication.=--Publication vests the statutory right of -copyright, but a publication which divests the common law right does -not necessarily invest the statutory right. An investitive publication -is of necessity also a divestitive publication, but not _vice versa_. -The principal distinction is that an investitive publication must -be a publication of a book, while a divestitive publication is a -publication of the literary composition which is or may be contained -in a book. Thus the delivery of a lecture does not vest copyright, -although under certain circumstances it may divest the common law -right. The book itself must be given to the public, and not merely the -contents, in order to secure copyright. It has been suggested that a -book will not be published within the meaning of the Copyright Act -unless it is also printed. There is certainly some colour for this -suggestion. The Act 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 gives protection to all books -which are "published" without any express restriction to printed -books. It seems to be assumed, however, throughout the Act that a -book when published must necessarily be in print. For instance, -section 6 requires "That a printed copy ... shall be delivered at the -British Museum." In section 11 again, where provision is made for -registration, it is not contemplated that a book in which there is -copyright could be in manuscript, although the section makes express -provision for the registration of manuscript dramatic and musical -pieces, in respect of performing right. There is no authority on -this point. In _White_ v. _Geroch_[179] it was said that publication -of a musical piece in manuscript vested the statutory copyright; -but this was under the statute of Anne, which seems expressly to -contemplate publication in manuscript which 5 & 6 Vict. certainly does -not. In _Boucicault_ v. _Chatterton_[180] James, L. J., says: "a book -is published by being printed and issued to the public;" but this -was said only in illustration of the point he was then making, viz. -that publication does not necessarily mean the same thing in dealing -with copyright as it does in dealing with performing right. On the -whole, although the point is extremely doubtful, I am of opinion that -printing is not required. Suppose an illuminated hand-made book, fifty -copies put on the market, is that to be denied copyright? If it is, -the result seems to be that it is unprotected from piracy, since the -common law right terminates with unconditional publication. Another -point on publication has been raised but not decided, viz.: Must there -be a distribution of copies to the public, or will it be sufficient if -one or more copies are made accessible to the public; for instance, by -deposit of a copy at the British Museum or in other public libraries. -Sir James Stephen, in his Digest appended to the "Report of the -Copyright Commission, 1878," Art. 4, says: "publication ... means in -reference to books, publication for sale;" and James, L. J., as cited -above, suggests that there must be an "issuing to the public." On the -other hand, the disjunctive use of the terms "published" and "offered -for sale " in section 6 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 is rather in favour of -the view that there can be investitive publication without "offering -for sale." Analogy from other branches of the law is unreliable; the -exhibition of a picture in a public gallery is publication of the -picture,[181] but that is the only way in which a picture can be -published. On the whole, I think that if the public have free and -unrestricted access to a book there will be publication, even although -they may not be able to procure copies for themselves. Something might -depend on the rules of a library where the book was deposited. - -There is a common practice among publishers to accept as proof of -first publication a receipt given on the sale of a single copy of -the book. No doubt this is _prima facie_ proof of publication, but -the sale of a single copy does not necessarily imply publication, and -it would be open to any one disputing the date of the publication to -say that the sale was collusive, and that the book was not at that -time, as it must be in order to constitute publication, offered to the -public. It would be sufficient publication for the publisher to place -copies, or even one copy of the book, in his window for sale. The -record in his books should be sufficient evidence of the date if it is -disputed. - -In a case[182] under the statute of Anne it was held that publication -must be by or on behalf of the proprietor, or at least with the view -of conferring copyright upon him. The publication in that case was -made by an oral assignee to whom the author had purported to convey -the exclusive right of publication in the United Kingdom. It was -held that the assignee had no copyright because there was no written -assignment, and that the author did not acquire copyright because the -publication was not on his behalf. The result seems to be that the -copyright was lost. If the principle is sound, which is extremely -doubtful, it might be applied to the case of first publication by a -licensee, unless it could be implied from the contract between the -licensor and licensee that the licensee was not acting entirely on his -own behalf, but also on behalf of his licensor to secure copyright. - -=First Publication within the British Dominions.=--Under the Act of 5 -& 6 Vict. c. 45, it was held essential that first publication should -be within the United Kingdom;[183] but since the International Act -of 1886[184] first publication anywhere within the British dominions -will equally secure copyright. If a book is published simultaneously -within and without the dominions it is sufficient.[185] Publication a -day later than publication abroad would probably lose the copyright; -but if on the same day, even although an hour or two later, it would -be deemed simultaneous. If a serial story in a periodical is being -published simultaneously, say here and in the United States, some -parts may have lost their copyright by too hasty publication in -America, but this would not deprive the whole serial of copyright -if the other parts were "first published" within the British -dominions.[186] The date on the title-page of an American book has -been held not to be conclusive evidence of the time of publication in -the United States.[187] It is quite immaterial where the manuscript -is written;[188] and probably equally immaterial where the book is -printed. It has been suggested, however, that under 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, -printing within the United Kingdom was necessary, and that now since -the "International Copyright Act, 1886," printing within the British -dominions is a condition precedent to protection. I do not think the -suggestion is of any weight. It is founded on two _obiter dicta_--one -of Lord St. Leonards in _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_,[189] and the other of -Bayley, J., in _Clementi_ v. _Walker_.[190] - -If a book is first published outside the British dominions there -will be no copyright[191] in it except under the International -Statutes.[192] Section 19 of 7 & 8 Vict. has been held to apply to -publication in all foreign countries, and not only to those with which -an international convention is in existence;[193] and it has been -further held to apply to the works of a British subject as well as to -those of a foreigner.[194] - -If a dramatic or musical work is first performed abroad before -publication as a book, although that may destroy the performing right -within the British dominions, it probably will not affect the author's -right to acquire copyright by first publication here in "book" form. -It may be said that "first published" in 7 & 8 Vict. c. 12, sec. 19, -has been held to include "first performed."[195] That decision, -however, dealt only with a question of performing right. In _Boosey_ -v. _Davidson_[196] there was first performance abroad, and it was held -that copyright was obtained here by first publication; but there was -no argument on section 19. - - -SECTION III.--AUTHOR'S NATIONALITY. - -It must still be considered doubtful whether or not the author of -a book must be a British subject, or at least resident within the -British dominions at the time of publication. This point is the -subject of a considerable body of case law under the statute of Anne; -but there has been no definite and authoritative decision under the -statute of Victoria. The question was first seriously argued in the -case of _D'Almaine_ v. _Boosey_,[197] when it was decided in the -Court of Exchequer that the work of a foreigner would be entitled -to protection if first published in England by an English assignee. -The next case was _Bentley_ v. _Foster_,[198] before Shadwell, V. C., -who decided that the foreigner himself could acquire a copyright by -first publication in this country. After that there is a series of -confused and conflicting cases,[199] terminating with the decision -of _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_[200] in the House of Lords. The plaintiff -in that case was the English assignee of the unpublished work of -a non-resident foreigner. The first publication was in England. -The judges were consulted, and of these six were in favour of the -plaintiff's right and four against it. The House of Lords, however, -were unanimous against the plaintiff's right. They decided that the -work of a non-resident foreigner could not acquire copyright in this -country. - -Lord Cranworth, L. C., said: - - "The statute (8 Anne) must be construed as referring to British - authors only. _Prima facie_ the legislature of this country must - be taken to make laws for its own subjects exclusively, and - where, as in the statute now under consideration, an exclusive - privilege is given to a particular class at the expense of - the rest of her Majesty's subjects, the object of giving that - privilege must be taken to have been a national object and the - privileged class to be confined to a portion of that community - for the general advantage of which the enactment is made. When I - say that the legislature must _prima facie_ be taken to legislate - only for its own subjects, I must be taken to include under the - word 'subjects' all persons who are within the Queen's dominions, - and who thus owe to her a temporary allegiance. I do not doubt - but that a foreigner resident here, and composing and publishing - a book here, is an author within the meaning of the statute: he - is within its words and spirit. I go further: I think that if a - foreigner having composed but not having published a work abroad - were to come to this country, and the week or day after his - arrival were to print and publish it here, he would be within the - protection of the statute." - -_Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_[201] then definitely decided that under the -statute of Anne a foreigner, unless at the time of publication he -was resident within the jurisdiction of the crown, could not be an -author within the meaning of the Act, and therefore neither he nor his -assigns before or after publication could acquire copyright. It would -seem to follow that the construction of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 would lead -to a similar decision. This, however, has been doubted in the House of -Lords in the case of _Routledge_ v. _Low_.[202] The actual decision -in that case went no further than holding that a foreign author who -was resident for a few days in Canada expressly for the purpose of -acquiring copyright while her book was published in London was an -author within the Act, a proposition which had not been disputed in -_Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_.[203] Their Lordships, however, discussed the -wider issue whether even temporary residence was necessary. Lord -Cairns, L. C., and Lord Westbury were of opinion that it was not. Lord -Cairns, after pointing out that _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_[204] was a -decision under the Act of Anne, said: - - "It was impossible not to see that the _ratio decidendi_ in - that case proceeded mainly, if not exclusively, on the wording - of the preamble of the statute of Anne, and on a consideration - of the general character and scope of the legislation of Great - Britain at that period. The present statute had repealed that Act, - and professed to aim at affording greater encouragement to the - production of literary works of lasting benefit to the world. And - accepting this decision of the House as to the construction of the - statute of Anne, it is, I think, impossible not to see that the - present statute would be incompatible with a policy so narrow as - that expressed in the statute of Anne."[205] - -Lords Cranworth and Chelmsford agreed that temporary residence within -the dominions was sufficient to give a foreigner the right to acquire -copyright as a British author, and therefore concurred in the judgment -of the House. They, however, differed strongly from the view that -a non-resident foreigner could be an author within the Act. Lord -Cranworth said: - - "I have no hesitation in concurring with my noble and learned - friend in thinking that the decree below was right. I find it - difficult to concur with him in the opinion that the present - statute extends its protection to all foreigners wherever they - may be resident without saying that the case of _Jefferys_ v. - _Boosey_[206] is not good law--a conclusion at which I should - be very unwilling to come as to any case decided in this House, - more especially as to one so elaborately considered as that of - _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_.[207] That case, as my noble friend has - pointed out, was decided not on the construction of the Act of 5 - & 6 Vict. c. 45, but on the statute of Queen Anne; but I own I - do not as at present advised see any difference between the two - statutes so far as relates to the subject of the residence of - foreign authors." - -_Routledge_ v. _Low_[208] is followed as to its actual decision in -_Low_ v. _Ward_;[209] but as to the rights of a non-resident foreign -author the law remains, as left by _Routledge_ v. _Low_,[210] truly -in a most unsatisfactory state. It is difficult to escape from the -conclusion, however willingly one would, that there is really no -distinction between the application of the statute of Anne and that of -Victoria, and that, therefore, a case arising on this point under the -Act of Victoria is governed by _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_,[211] a decision -which, if erroneous, was not so for want of deliberate research and -consideration. The general opinion, however, seems to be that Lords -Cairns and Westbury were right and Lords Cranworth and Chelmsford -wrong. This view is adopted by Stephen, J., in his digest.[212] Mr. -Scrutton is of the same opinion, and cites the Naturalisation Act and -the proviso that copyright is personal property.[213] Mr. Chamier does -the same.[214] It is respectfully submitted that the provisions of the -Naturalisation Act and the indisputable fact that a foreigner wherever -resident can acquire a British copyright are entirely beside the mark, -and do not in the least help one to decide whether the legislature is -to be presumed to have applied the Act of 5 & 6 Vict. to the works of -foreign authors. The decision that the work of a non-resident foreign -author will not be protected is in no way contrary to the provision -of the Naturalisation Act that an alien friend may acquire and hold -personal property in the same way in all respects as a British -subject. The logical conclusion from that provision is that an alien -friend as well as a British subject may acquire British copyright -wherever it exists; but it does not necessarily follow that British -copyright exists in the work of a foreign author, and that either an -alien friend or a British subject can acquire it. After the passing -of the Chace Act (1891) in the United States, the law officers of the -Crown in England were consulted by the American law officers, and -they advised that an American author could acquire copyright in his -work by simultaneous publication in this country and America, even -although he was not at any time resident within the British dominions. -Consequently on that advice the President of the United States -proclaimed Great Britain as one of the countries which gave by their -law reciprocal rights to American authors; and English authors are -thereby entitled to acquire copyright in the United States. It would -certainly be most unsatisfactory if the law of England were now to be -declared contrary to the advice then given by our law officers, but it -cannot be said that this should influence our Courts if their decision -on the point was called for. - - -SECTION IV.--IMMORAL WORKS. - -Profane,[215] indecent,[216] seditious,[217] and libellous[218] books -will not be protected. Neither will those which are a fraud upon the -public.[219] For instance, a book published as translated from the -German of Sturm, which was entirely untrue and induced purchasers -to buy it, was refused protection.[220] _Quaere_ whether a piratical -book would be protected in so far as it was original. Probably it -would.[221] If a book is not wholly mischievous, but only in part, -it will probably be protected except as to that part;[222] and if -a book is subsequently published purged of its immoral matter or -fraudulent nature it would be protected.[223] If an action is brought -in respect of a mischievous publication the practice of the Court is -to dismiss the action without costs.[224] In one case[225] Mathew, -J., would not take cognisance of immorality _mero motu_, and when it -was not pleaded by the defendant he gave the plaintiff his remedy. -Notwithstanding this, there can be no doubt that the Court may refuse -to interfere even when both parties are willing to waive the question -of immorality. The Court cannot be compelled to sit to take an account -between public malefactors. - - -SECTION V.--REGISTRATION. - -=Before Action.=--Before an owner of copyright sues for infringement -his book must be registered at Stationers' Hall.[226] The omission -to register does not affect the copyright in a book, but it is a -condition precedent to the right to sue in respect of the infringement -thereof.[227] At one time it was thought that registration was only -a condition precedent to an action for the particular remedies given -by the statute, and that whether registration was effected or not the -common law right of action for damages lay.[228] This, however, is -not law. Registration is a condition precedent to any right of action -for infringement of copyright. If an action is brought without proper -registration, that action must fail; but a correct entry may then be -made and a fresh action commenced.[229] - -No registration is necessary to maintain an action for the -infringement of performing rights in a book which is a dramatic or -musical work.[230] - -Registration need not be made before infringement: it may be effected -at any time before the writ is issued.[231] In one case it was held -a good registration when entry was made on the same day, but a few -hours before the issue of the writ.[232] In _Hole_ v. _Bradbury_,[233] -Fry, J., held that registration after infringement did not entitle -the plaintiff to delivery up of copies for his own use under the 23rd -section of the Act of 1842, but that under its general jurisdiction -the Court had power to order delivery up for destruction. In _Isaacs_ -v. _Fiddemann_,[234] Jessel, M. R., thought that even although -infringement was before registration the plaintiff was entitled to -have delivery up for his own benefit, and that the 23rd section -applied to such a case. Which is the correct view it is difficult to -say. The argument of Fry, J., in support of his view is elaborate and -appears sound, whereas Jessel, M. R., seems to have gone more on the -ground of convenience. - -Registration must be effected after the publication of the book.[235] -In several cases an attempt has been made to secure a monopoly -in a title by registration before the book was published or even -written.[236] Such registration is entirely inoperative to secure a -monopoly in the title or the right to sue in respect of the copyright -in the book when published. Registration does not give the plaintiff -any right (except perhaps as to delivery of copies) which he would not -equally have had without registration.[237] All registration does is -to perfect the right and give a title to sue on it. - -It must be remembered that it is the book which is to be registered -and not the copyright. It is common but erroneous to talk of -"registering copyright." The distinction was pointed out in _Trade -Auxiliary_ v. _Middlesborough_.[238] The three several proprietors of -three periodicals had employed and paid a contributor under section 18 -on the terms that the matter contributed should belong to these three -proprietors. The matter appeared in each of the three newspapers and -each registered his own newspaper in his own name. It was argued that -the registration was bad, since they should have been registered as -joint proprietors, but the Court of Appeal held that the registration -was good, since each had registered his "book," and section 19 was -literally complied with. - -A newspaper is a sheet of letterpress within the Act and must -be registered.[239] In one case[240] Malins, V. C., protected a -newspaper which was not registered, but that case has been expressly -overruled[241] and is clearly unsound. No registration is necessary -other than that required by the Act of 1842. In _Cate_ v. _Devon_[242] -it was contended that a newspaper would not be protected unless it had -been registered under the Newspaper Libel Act, 1881. This contention -was held erroneous, and registration under the Act of 1842 was alone -required. Similarly it is not a good defence to an action for -infringement that the publisher's name and address is not printed on -the first or last page of a book as required by 2 & 3 Vict. c. 12.[243] - -=The Requisite Entry.=--Registration is made in the Book of Registry -which the Act enacts[244] shall be kept at the Hall of the Stationers' -Company. The fee for registration is five shillings. The Book of -Registry must at all convenient times be open to the inspection of -any person on payment of one shilling for every entry searched for or -inspected. This, however, does not entitle any one to make a copy of -an entry; but any one may demand a certified copy of an entry from the -keeper of the Registry on payment of five shillings. - -The proprietor of the copyright must register in the Book of -Registry:[245] - - i. The title. - ii. The time of first publication. - iii. The name and place of abode of the publisher. - iv. The name and place of abode of the proprietor. - -In the case of an encyclopaedia, review, magazine, periodical work, or -other work published in a series of books or parts, the publisher must -register:[246] - - i. The title. - ii. The time of first publication of the first part. - iii. The name and place of abode of the proprietor. - iv. The name and place of abode of the publisher if - different from the proprietor. - -_The Actual Title._--This must be registered: a description of the -book will not be sufficient, even although accurate. Thus in _Harris_ -v. _Smart_[247] the plaintiffs' book was intituled "Illustrated -Catalogue and Price List," and they registered it as "Illustrated Book -of Shop-fittings." The Court of Appeal, reversing the decision of -Mathew and Grantham, JJ., held that the objection to the registration -was fatal. When there is a clear and distinct title, that title they -held must be registered. It might be different if a book had no title; -perhaps such a book could not be registered at all; but probably a -description of the book, stating that it had no title, would be -sufficient.[248] In _Collingridge_ v. _Emmott_[249] the plaintiff's -newspaper was intituled "Warehousemen and Drapers' Trade Journal and -Review of the Textile Fabric Manufacturers"; but it was registered as -"Warehousemen and Drapers' Trade Journal: Failures and Arrangements." -Kay, J., thought that the discrepancy was fatal to the registration. - -It has been questioned whether in the case of a volume, a considerable -part of which, being old matter, is not entitled to copyright, and -which is published under one comprehensive title, there must not be -some indication on the book itself or on the register that the owner -does not claim copyright in the whole work. The point has never been -definitely decided. It has been held that one who adapts new words -and music to an old air and describes himself proprietor of the whole -composition is entitled to protection;[250] but the question raised in -these cases was whether the author was entitled to copyright at all -unless he could show that the whole was original. It should always be -remembered in questions of this kind that the purpose of registration -is not, as has frequently been suggested in argument, to notify to an -intending copyist what he may copy and what he may not. In _Cate_ v. -_Devon_[251] the plaintiffs had published a "Commercial Compendium," -containing lists of bankruptcies and bills of sale. They reprinted -several copies of it under another title, viz. "The London Association -for the Protection of Trade," and it was issued "privately and -confidentially" to that association. The defendants copied matter from -the latter issue and pleaded that it was unregistered, and therefore -that they were entitled to copy it. North, J., held that the act of -the defendants was an infringement of copyright in the "Commercial -Compendium," which was registered under that title. In his judgment he -said: - - "It is not intended that there should always be complete - registration of the publication in which there is copyright in - order that persons may know what they may legitimately copy - and what they cannot copy. The Act itself contains provisions - which make that clear. It is well known that registration is - only necessary as a condition precedent to suing, and the almost - universal practice on the part of large publishers notoriously - is that they do not register until just on the eve of taking - some proceeding. Then they take care to register their copyright - and sue upon it. I think, therefore, that the contention that - the defendants have not been warned by registration of the - title under which the document appears is one which cannot be - entertained."[252] - -_The Time of First Publication._--This must be exactly entered to -the day of the month. In _Low_ v. _Routledge_[253] an entry of "23rd -May 1864" was held to be bad when the actual publication was on the -25th of May 1864.[254] Under the International Copyright Act, 1844, -an entry of the year only was held to be fatal,[255] and under the -Copyright Act of 1842 it has been held in two cases that an entry -of the month only is bad.[256] When a subsequent edition of a book -is published, in so far as it is a reprint of the first edition, it -will not be protected unless the first edition and the date of the -first publication thereof is entered on the register;[257] in so -far as it consists of new matter there must be an entry bearing the -date of the publication of the edition in which such new matter was -first published;[258] but the previous editions and the date of their -respective publications do not require to be entered in order to -protect the new matter,[259] and subsequent editions do not require -to be entered in order to protect old matter.[260] Where a book has -been revised and altered as each new edition has come out, every -edition should be entered separately in the register, with the date -of the publication of such edition. When a story, or article, or -serial story, or a series of articles is published in a magazine or -other periodical, the proprietor of the magazine need only register -the first number of the magazine and the date of the publication -thereof in order to entitle him to sue.[261] If, however, the action -is at the instance of the author of a contribution to a collective -work against third parties, the proper registration would be of the -story or article only with the date of the first publication in the -collective work of such story or article, or if serial, of the first -part thereof.[262] Against the proprietor, for publishing separately -without permission, the author does not require to be registered, as -the right sued on is not one of copyright but presumably of implied -contract.[263] If the owner of the periodical has acquired the entire -copyright in a story or article, he can sue on a registration either -of the first number of the magazine or of the first part of the story -or article.[264] - -_The Name and Place of Abode of the Publisher._--The publisher to -be entered is the first publisher of the book.[265] No subsequent -publisher, unless of a revised edition, need be entered on the -register.[266] If the publishers are a firm it is sufficient to enter -their firm name, such as _Newby & Co._; the individual names of the -members of the firm need not be entered.[267] A publisher's ordinary -place of business describes sufficiently his "place of abode": his -private residential address need not be entered.[268] - -_The Name and Place of Abode of the Proprietor._--The proprietor to -be entered is the proprietor at the time of registration, and it is -unnecessary to trace his title from the first proprietor.[269] The -joinder of the unregistered proprietor as co-plaintiff with a person -who has been erroneously registered, or who, being rightly registered, -is no longer proprietor, will not render an action for infringement of -copyright maintainable.[270] It is not sufficient to register a mere -agent or nominee of the proprietor.[271] The registered proprietor, -however, if legal owner, may sue as trustee for the equitable owner -of the copyright.[272] If the plaintiff in an action is the assignee -of a former proprietor already registered, either the assignment -must have been by entry in the register, or the assignment, if made -otherwise, must be entered. In every case the plaintiff, either as -proprietor at the date of registration or as his assignee, must -appear on the face of the register.[273] It is probably not necessary -to register every mesne assignment from the proprietor originally -registered to the plaintiff.[274] When the original proprietor is -registered, and the assignee from him is subsequently registered, it -is necessary that both entries should be correct, in order to entitle -the assignee to sue.[275] If the proprietor has no fixed abode in the -United Kingdom, an address in the United Kingdom through which he -can be conveniently communicated with will probably be a sufficient -compliance with the statute.[276] - -If there is an error in any of the particulars required to be entered -in the register it is fatal to the success of an action, even although -caused by neglect or carelessness on the part of one of the officials -at Stationers' Hall.[277] If the necessary particulars are entered it -is immaterial that superfluous matter is also entered.[278] - -=Certificate of Registration.=--The officer appointed by the -Stationers' Company for the purposes of registration under the -Copyright Acts must, whenever reasonably required, give a copy of any -entry in the Book of Registry, certified under his hand and impressed -with the stamp of the Stationers' Company, to any person on payment -of five shillings, and such copies are to be received in evidence -in all Courts, and are _prima facie_ proof of the proprietorship or -assignment of copyright or licence, but subject to be rebutted by -other evidence.[279] Registration does not, however, give a title -against the whole world except the true owner.[280] - -=False Entries.=--If any person wilfully makes or causes to be made -any false entry in the Registry Book of the Stationers' Company, or -wilfully produces in evidence any paper falsely purporting to be a -copy of any entry in such book, he will be guilty of an indictable -misdemeanour.[281] - -=Rectification of Register.=--If any person "deems himself aggrieved" -by any entry in the Registry Book, he may apply by motion to the -King's Bench Division for an order that such entry may be expunged -or varied.[282] An order to expunge will not be made at the trial -of an action:[283] it must be applied for by motion in accordance -with section 14, unless, perhaps, it is specifically claimed in the -statement of claim in the action. There is probably no appeal from an -order to expunge.[284] If a wrong entry has been made in the Book of -Registry, the proprietor of the copyright in the book so erroneously -entered is, even although he has by mistake made the wrong entry -himself, a person aggrieved within the meaning of the statute, and -can apply to the Court for an order to vary such entry.[285] An order -to expunge or vary will not be made without definite proof that the -existing entry is erroneous, and that the proposed entry in lieu -thereof is correct.[286] By the words "deem himself aggrieved" the -legislature did not mean that any person who said he was aggrieved -could apply: the applicant must show to the Court that he has a right -to consider himself aggrieved.[287] When the copyright in a book is in -dispute either party claiming the right is a party aggrieved.[288] If -a non-copyright book is entered on the register, probably any one who -wished to copy it would be a party aggrieved;[289] but it is not open -to any one to make application to the Court on the ground of technical -flaws in a registration.[290] The applicant, unless he claims the -copyright, must be able to show a substantial defect on the merits of -the registered proprietor's title.[291] - -When once an entry on the register has been struck out, the Court has -probably no power to restore it.[292] - - -SECTION VI.--DELIVERY OF COPIES TO LIBRARIES. - -Copies of all books first published in the United Kingdom after 1842 -must be delivered to the undermentioned libraries by the publisher. In -default the respective librarians may recover from the publisher:[293] - - i. The value of the copy which ought to have been delivered. - ii. A sum not exceeding L5. - iii. Solicitor and client costs. - -The proceedings may either be summary by way of conviction before -two Justices of the Peace in the county or place where the publisher -making default resides, or by action in any Court of Record in the -United Kingdom.[294] - -The following copies are to be delivered: - - I. _To the British Museum_:[295] - - One of the best copies published (complete with maps and prints) of - - i. Every book first published. - ii. Every subsequent edition of a book, unless - (_a_) it contains no additions or alterations, and - (_b_) some preceding edition has been delivered: - - Within one calendar month after publication or offering for sale in - London. - - Within three calendar months after publication or offering for sale - elsewhere in the United Kingdom. - - The copy must be delivered between 10 A. M. and 4 P. M. on any day - except Sunday, Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and Christmas Day.[296] - - The officer of the Museum appointed to receive these copies is - required to give a receipt in writing.[297] - - II. _To each of the following Libraries_,[298] _or to Stationers' Hall - for their use_: - - The Bodleian Library at Oxford. - The Public Library at Cambridge. - The Library of the Faculty of Advocates at Edinburgh. - The Library of Trinity College at Dublin. - - One copy of those copies of which the largest number is printed for - sale, and in the like condition of - - i. Every book first published. - ii. Every subsequent edition of a book, unless - (_a_) it contains no alterations or additions. - - Within one month after demand. - - Provided that within twelve months after publication demand has been - made to the publishers under the hand of the officer of the Company - of Stationers or other person authorised thereto by the respective - libraries. - - The officer at Stationers' Hall and librarians of the several - libraries are required to give a receipt in writing when a copy of a - book is delivered to them. - -The clauses as to delivery of copies are to be considered as being -strictly penal. In _The British Museum_ v. _Payne_,[299] under the -similar provisions in 54 Geo. III. c. 156, it was held that when a -book was published in parts, a single part was not demandable. The -Court refused to consider the question when, if ever, the complete -book would be demandable. - -It will be noticed that neither the copyright nor the right to sue -is affected by non-delivery of these copies. The only consequence of -omission to do so is a penalty on the publisher. - -The right of the various bodies to delivery of a copy applies to -all books published within the United Kingdom and not only to those -entered at Stationers' Hall.[300] - - -SECTION VII.--DURATION OF PROTECTION. - -Protection dates from first publication. - -_Generally._--The period of protection is for the natural life of the -author and for seven years after his death, or for forty-two years -from the date of publication, whichever period shall be longer.[301] - -_Posthumous Works_ are protected for forty-two years from the date of -publication.[302] - -_Encyclopaedias_ are protected for the life of the proprietor and seven -years (by 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, sec. 18, the proprietor of a collective -work enjoys the same rights as if he were the actual author thereof), -or for forty-two years from the date of publication, whichever period -shall be the longer.[303] - -_Reviews_, _Magazines_, _and other periodical works of a like -nature_[304] have two separate copyrights, viz.: - - i. The proprietor's copyright in the publication, as a whole, - for his life and seven years, or forty-two years from first - publication. - ii. The contributor's copyright in his separate contribution as a - separate work, beginning twenty-eight years after publication of - the collective work, or on separate publication, if such should by - agreement take place within the twenty-eight years, and lasting - for his life and seven years, or forty-two years from first - publication in the collective work. - -_New Editions._[305]--As to each edition, the copyright runs from the -date of publication thereof, in so far as the matter therein is then -first published. - -_Joint Works._--Although there is no statutory provision, they are -probably protected for the life of the surviving author and seven -years, or for forty-two years from first publication.[306] - - -SECTION VIII.--COPYRIGHT IN LECTURES. - -There is no lecturing right, _i. e._ no exclusive statutory right to -deliver a lecture in public. The only Act applying to lectures is 5 & -6 Will. IV. c. 65, which, under pain of penalties, prohibits printing -or publishing, or knowingly selling lectures, which at the time of -delivery have not been published in book form, without leave of the -author thereof, or of the person to whom the author thereof has sold -or otherwise conveyed the same. The remedy is action in the High Court -for: (i) Forfeiture of copies. (ii) One penny per copy; half to the -Crown and half to informer. A condition precedent of protection under -this Act is the giving of notice in writing to two justices living -within five miles from the place where such lecture or lectures are -delivered, two days at least before delivering the same. The Act has -fallen into entire desuetude, partly, no doubt, on account of this -somewhat troublesome stipulation as to notice, but principally because -a lecturer has, in fact, full protection at common law, if, as is -usually the case, he can make out an implied contract between himself -and his audience that the delivery of the lecture is for purposes -of instruction only, and that those present are entitled to make no -other use of it whatsoever.[307] His remedy at common law will be for -damages and injunction. Of course he cannot sue for penalties, unless -he has brought himself within the Act. - -The Lectures Act does not apply so as to protect any lecture or -lectures delivered in any university, or public school or college, -or on any public foundation, or by any individual in virtue of, -or according to, any gift, endowment, or foundation.[308] The law -relating to such lectures is declared to be the same as if the -Lectures Act had not been passed. The result of this proviso is that -these special kinds of lectures are nearly always protected at common -law by implied contract in the same way as other lectures.[309] - - - - -CHAPTER III - -THE OWNER OF THE COPYRIGHT IN BOOKS - - -SECTION I.--THE CROWN. - -When the Crown ceased to have the complete control which it originally -exercised over the printing-press, it still claimed to retain, as -its prerogative, the exclusive right of printing such works as -it considered its own peculiar property.[310] These included the -authorised translation of the Bible, the Common Prayer Book, Acts of -Parliament[311] and Proclamations,[312] Latin Grammars and Year Books. -Law books, such as "Rolle's Abridgment," and reports collected by the -judges were also claimed by the Crown on the ground that the laws -were the King's Laws. Classical books, almanacs and the like, were -claimed by the Crown as _bona nullius_ and things derelict. As regards -those books which the Crown claimed as its own property, it granted -licences and patents. The Stationers' Company, the King's printers, -the Universities, and from time to time various individuals received -grants of authority to print such works. - -Many of the claims, for instance, to almanacs, law reports, Latin -grammars, have for long been abandoned. The patentees of the Crown, -however, still claim a prerogative copyright in-- - - 1. The Authorised English Translation of the Bible.[313] - 2. The Book of Common Prayer.[314] - -The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and the King's printers have -each the right to print the Bible and the Prayer Book. - -No objection has ever been taken on behalf of the Crown or her -patentees to the printing of the Bible with notes, and this is in -practice constantly done without authority. The notes, however, must -be substantial and not merely illusory.[315] - -In 1887 the Treasury published a Minute[316] in which the claims of -the Crown to the exclusive right of publishing Government publications -are set out. The Minute was published in the _London Gazette_. - -The following publications are declared to be free from restriction of -any kind, and any person may therefore publish them with or without -notes: - - 1. Reports of Select Committees of the Two Houses of Parliament, - or of Royal Commissions. - 2. Papers required by Statute to be laid before Parliament, _e. g._ - Orders in Council, Rules made by Government Departments, Accounts, - Reports of Government Inspectors. - 3. Papers laid before Parliament by Command, e. g. Treaties, - Diplomatic Correspondence, Reports from Consuls and Secretaries of - Legation, Reports of Inquiries into Explosions or Accidents, and - other Special Reports made to Government Departments. - 4. Acts of Parliament. - 5. Official books, _e. g._ King's Regulations for the Army or Navy. - -In the following works the Government claims to retain the -copyright: - - 1. Literary or quasi-literary works, _e. g._ the Reports of the - _Challenger_ Expedition, the Rolls Publications, the State Trials, - the "Board of Trade Journal." - 2. Charts and Ordnance Maps. - -The ancient prerogative claimed by the Crown was a perpetual -copyright. The Crown is not mentioned in the Copyright Act, and it is -open to doubt whether it could enforce a perpetual copyright in works -compiled by its servants, or whether it could only claim the term of -copyright granted by the Copyright Act. - - -SECTION II.--THE UNIVERSITIES. - -By an Act of George III.[317] provision is made for the vesting of -copyrights in perpetuity in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, -the Scottish Universities and the Colleges of Eton, Westminster, and -Winchester. These privileges were obtained in consequence of the -decision in _Donaldson_ v. _Beckett_[318] in the House of Lords to the -effect that there was no perpetual copyright. - -Perpetual Copyright under the Universities' Act attaches to those -books which are "bequeathed or otherwise given" to one of the -Universities or Colleges. A work such as The Revised Version of the -Bible, which was compiled under the direction and at the expense of -the two Universities, will probably not have perpetual copyright under -the Act since it is neither bequeathed nor given. The same would apply -to copyrights purchased by a university or college. - -The book in which University privilege is claimed must be registered -within two months after the time when the bequest or gift of the -copyright comes to the knowledge of the Vice-Chancellor of the -University or head of the college, as the case may be. - -The remedy against unauthorised printing or importing or knowingly -selling, publishing, or exposing for sale any book in which there is -University copyright is an action in the High Court for-- - - (_a_) Forfeiture for destruction. - - (_b_) One penny for every sheet found in the custody of the - infringer, half to go to the Crown and half to the informer. - -The perpetual privilege granted by the Act only subsists so long -as the book is printed only within the respective Universities or -Colleges, and for their sole benefit and advantage. This does not -debar them from selling the copyright, but if sold it will only -subsist for the term granted to authors by the Copyright Act, 1842. - -_Quaere_ if some of Jowett's works, for instance, were printed in -the United States in order to acquire American copyright, whether -that would destroy the perpetual copyright by reason of copies being -printed outside the University. - - -SECTION III.--THE AUTHOR. - -Copyright in every book published in the lifetime of the author -thereof "shall be the property of such author and his assigns."[319] -Copyright therefore in the first instance ordinarily vests in the -author. The word author is not defined in the Act, and from time -to time difficult questions have arisen as to who is the author of -a particular book within the meaning of the Act. Difficulties have -generally arisen from the fact that two or more people have been -engaged in the production of a book. The rule appears to be that, if -the literary matter is composed by those who make the manuscript,[320] -the author is the man from whom emanates the general conception and -design, and that although much of the detail may have been the work of -subordinate brains and hands, he is the author of the entirety, and -may sue for any infringement of it. Thus in _Scott_ v. _Stanford_,[321] -where the plaintiff compiled and published periodically statistical -returns of the London coal market, Page Wood, V. C., in giving -judgment, said that it appeared to him quite immaterial whether the -plaintiff had been assisted in the compilation by his own clerks or -by those of the Corporation. In _Barfield_ v. _Nicholson_[322] a case -under the statute of Anne, Leach, V. C., said that he was of opinion -that under the statute the one who formed the plan and embarked on -the speculation of a work, and employed various persons to compose -different parts of it adapted to their own peculiar acquirements, was -the author and proprietor of the work, if not within the literal -expression, at least within the equitable meaning of the statute of -Anne. In _Hatton_ v. _Kean_[323] the defendant had arranged certain -of Shakespeare's plays with adjuncts of scenery, music, dancing, &c., -and employed artists and authors to aid him in carrying his design -into effect; amongst others, the plaintiff was employed to compose -and arrange the orchestral accompaniments. The Court of Common Pleas -held that the defendant was the author of the entire production. Erle, -C. J., said: - - "I am of opinion that the music so composed by the direction - and under the superintendence of the defendant, and as part of - the general plan of the spectacle, must, as between him and - the plaintiff, become the property of the defendant, and that - consequently the defendant has violated no right of the plaintiff - in causing it to be represented in the manner alleged."[324] - -In _Wallerstein_ v. _Herbert_,[325] where the facts were similar to -those in _Hatton_ v. _Kean_,[326] that case was approved by the Court -of Queen's Bench. Cockburn, C. J., said: - - "Looking at the nature of this composition, it is clear that it - became a part and parcel of the drama, and was not an independent - composition." - -These decisions seem equally applicable to books which are not -dramatic compositions, but _quaere_ whether _Hatton_ v. _Kean_[327] did -not go too far. It seems a strange thing to say that the arranger of -a play becomes the author of, _inter alia_, the musical accompaniment -of which, perhaps, he could not have composed a single bar. Would, for -instance, the author of a book be also the author of illustrations -which he had procured another to draw for him? Kekewich, J., in -_Petty_ v. _Taylor_, thought not.[328] - -The mere suggestion of a subject or idea which is then entirely -designed and executed by another does not constitute the originator -of the idea an author, even although the actual composer is his -employee.[329] In _Shepherd_ v. _Conquest_[330] the plaintiffs, -proprietors of a theatre, employed a "stock author" who, on payment -of a weekly salary and travelling expenses, composed plays for them. -Under this employment the author composed "Old Joe and Young Joe," a -dramatic piece, which he handed over to the plaintiffs, and which was -produced by them at their theatre. There was no contract or assignment -in writing, but there was an oral understanding that the plaintiffs -should have the sole right of representing the piece in London. It was -held in the Court of Common Pleas that the plaintiffs had acquired -no title under the Dramatic Copyright Act, 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15, -by reason of which they could sue an infringement of the performing -right.[331] Jervis, C. J., delivered the judgment of the Court: - - "We do not think it necessary in the present case to express any - opinion whether, under any circumstances, the copyright in a - literary work or the right of representation can become vested - _ab initio_ in an employer other than the person who has actually - composed or adapted a literary work. It is enough to say in the - present case that no such effect can be produced when the employer - merely suggests the subject, and has no share in the design or - execution of the work. It appears to us an abuse of terms to say - that in such a case the employer is the author of a work to which - his mind has not contributed an idea." - -There may be joint authorship of a book. To constitute joint -authorship the work must be produced by joint labour in prosecution -of a preconceived joint design. In _Levy_ v. _Rutley_[332] A wrote -a play, to which subsequently B added a scene, and made a few -alterations and additions in other parts of the piece. It was held -that there was not joint authorship. Byles, J., said: - - "If the piece had been originally written by A and B jointly in - prosecution of a preconcerted joint design, the two might have - been said to be the co-authors of the whole play, notwithstanding - that different portions were respectively the sole productions of - either." - -And Keating, J., said: - - "I entirely agree with my brother Byles that though it may not be - necessary that each should contribute the same amount of labour, - there must be a joint labouring in furtherance of a common design." - -_Quaere_ whether co-authors are joint owners with the right of -survivorship. In _Marzials_ v. _Gibbons_[333] it was suggested -that they were, but see the decisions where co-assignees are -held to be owners in common, or part owners without the right of -survivorship.[334] _Quaere_ also whether each co-author, as is the -case with each co-assignee,[335] is entitled to sue in respect of an -invasion without the concurrence of the other co-author or co-authors. - -Until _Walter_ v. _Lane_[336] was decided in the House of Lords, -it was a prevalent opinion that the author must be he who actually -designs and by himself or through others composes the literary matter -contained in the book. That case, however, demonstrates that the -author is the first producer of literary matter in "book" form, _i. e._ -in some permanent form from which it can be copied by the printer's -compositor, usually, but not necessarily, manuscript. As a rule -such person is also the composer of the literary matter contained -in the book, but this is not a necessary attribute of the character -of author. In _Walter_ v. _Lane_[337] Lord Rosebery had delivered -without reserve of any kind certain public speeches. They were -delivered orally, not having been previously committed to writing. -On the various occasions when they were delivered reporters from the -_Times_ were present, and they took down the speeches verbatim. From -these reports they were transcribed into long hand, and published -in the _Times_. Mr. Lane, a publisher, took these speeches from the -columns of the _Times_, and without any authority from the proprietors -thereof, published them in a volume entitled "Appreciations and -Addresses, by Lord Rosebery." In this action at the instance of the -proprietors of the _Times_ for the infringement of the copyright in -their reports, it was finally held in the House of Lords, firstly, -that as these reports contained literary matter published for the -first time in "book" form, they were the subject of copyright, and -secondly, that the reporters were the authors within the meaning of -the Act, since they first reduced the literary matter orally delivered -by Lord Rosebery to "book" form. - - -SECTION IV.--THE EMPLOYER. - -=Under Section 18.=--An employer is _ab initio_ entitled to the -copyright when he employs an author within the meaning of and subject -to the conditions imposed by section 18. Section 18[338] enacts that-- - - "When any publisher or other person shall before or at the time - of the passing of the Act have projected, conducted, and carried - on, or shall hereafter project, conduct, and carry on, or be the - proprietor of any encyclopaedia, review, magazine, periodical work, - or work published in a series of books or parts, or any book - whatsoever, and shall have employed or shall employ any persons - to compose the same in any volumes, parts, essays, articles, or - portions thereof for publication in or as part of the same, and - such works, volumes, parts, essays, articles, or portions, shall - have been or shall hereafter be composed under such employment - on the terms that the copyright therein shall belong to such - proprietor, projector, publisher, or conductor, and paid for by - such proprietor, projector, publisher, or conductor, the copyright - in every such encyclopaedia, review, magazine, periodical work, and - work published in a series of books or parts, and every volume, - part, essay, article, and portion so composed and paid for shall - be the property of such proprietor, projector, publisher, or - other conductor, who shall enjoy the same rights as if he were - the actual author thereof, and shall have such term of copyright - therein as is given to the authors of books by this Act; except - only that in the case of essays, articles, or portions forming - part of and first published in reviews, magazines, and other - periodical works of a like nature, after the term of twenty-eight - years from the first publication thereof respectively, the right - of publishing the same in a separate form shall revert to the - author for the remainder of the term given by this Act: provided - always that during the term of twenty-eight years the said - proprietor shall not publish any such essay, article, or portion - separately or singly without the consent previously obtained of - the author thereof or his assigns: provided also that nothing - herein contained shall alter or affect the right of any person - who shall have been or who shall be so employed as aforesaid to - publish any such his composition in a separate form, who by any - contract, express or implied, may have reserved or may hereafter - reserve to himself such right; but every author reserving, - retaining, or having such right, shall be entitled to the - copyright in such composition when published in a separate form, - according to this Act, without prejudice to the right of such - proprietor, projector, publisher, or conductor, as aforesaid." - -The nature of a proprietor's rights in the articles contributed to -his periodical under section 18 is well summarised by Chitty, J., as -follows: - - "This 18th section when fairly examined comes to this: the author - of a literary work is the proprietor of the copyright under - the general sections of the Act. If it is unpublished matter, - probably the better term is to say that his right is to prevent - any one else from publishing. If it is published matter, then - his right is a true copyright, and it is to prevent anybody else - from multiplying copies, and that right is vested in him.... Then - comes this 18th section, the short effect of which is to transfer - for a limited period a portion of the copyright to the proprietor - of the periodical for whom the article has been composed; it - being a condition that there shall not only be a composition of - the article on the terms that it shall belong to the proprietor - or publisher, but also that the sum agreed to be paid has been - paid."[339] - -_Scope of Section._--In some of the earlier cases it seems to be -suggested that section 18 applies only to works of a periodical -nature.[340] But this gives no meaning to the words "or any book -whatsoever," which surely could not be construed as including only -books _ejusdem generis_ as periodicals. The first part of the section -appears to include all books if produced under the conditions as to -employment and payment there enacted.[341] The judgment in _Shepherd_ -v. _Conquest_[342] suggests that in the opinion of the Court in that -case section 18 did not apply when the performing right in a play was -claimed by the proprietors of a theatre, the play having been produced -by a "stock author" in their employment. It is difficult to see why -section 18 should not be equally applicable to the performing right as -to the copyright. Section 20 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 provides that-- - - "The provisions hereinbefore enacted in respect of the property - of such copyright and of registering the same shall apply to - the liberty of representing or performing any dramatic piece - or musical composition as if the same were herein expressly - re-enacted and applied thereto, save and except that the first - public representation or performance of any dramatic piece or - musical composition shall be deemed equivalent in the construction - of this Act to the first publication of any book." - -_Under such Employment._--The author must be "employed" and the work -must be composed "under such employment." It appears therefore that a -work or part of a work would not come within this 18th section unless -actually executed in the course of the author's employment by the -proprietor. In other words, there must be antecedent employment.[343] -A contribution voluntarily sent to a magazine would not, even although -accepted and paid for on the terms that the copyright should belong -to the proprietors, come under the provisions of section 18. It is -submitted that it would become the sole property of the proprietor of -the magazine for all purposes without any reservation of the right of -separate publication to the author.[344] - -If A employs B, who in his turn employs C, the copyright will vest in -A if B acted as a mere agent for A. Thus in _Stubbs_ v. _Howard_,[345] -Stubbs employed the Mercantile Press to obtain the necessary -information for their Gazette, and the Mercantile Press employed P. to -collect and compile. It was held that the copyright vested _ab initio_ -in Stubbs under section 18. But if A employs and pays B to do certain -literary work, and B, of his own authority, employs and pays C, D, and -E to do certain portions of it, it is doubtful whether the copyright -in these portions will vest in A under section 18. The author has been -neither employed nor paid by the proprietor of the work since B acted -not as an agent for him, but as an independent contractor.[346] The -operation of section 18 seems to be exhausted in the first employment. - -"_On the terms that the copyright therein shall belong to such -proprietor._"--The terms may be implied from the nature of the -employment and the circumstances under which the work is composed. -In _Sweet_ v. _Benning_[347] various members of the bar had furnished -reports of cases to the plaintiffs, the proprietors of the _Jurist_. -The reporters selected what cases they thought fit to report and were -paid for their work. The arrangements were entirely oral, and nothing -seems to have been said about copyright. The Court of Common Pleas -held that the proprietors of the _Jurist_ became the owners of the -copyright under the 18th section. Maule, J., in support of his opinion -said: - - "When a man employs another to write an article or to do anything - else for him, unless there is something in the surrounding - circumstances or in the course of dealing between the parties to - require a different construction, in the absence of a special - agreement to the contrary, it is to be understood that the writing - or other thing is produced upon the terms that the copyright - therein shall belong to the employer." - -In _Trade Auxiliary_ v. _Middlesborough_[348] the proprietors of -_Stubbs' Weekly Gazette_ and two other weekly papers jointly employed -on salary two men to examine the official records and extract the -particulars of bills of sale and deeds of arrangement registered in -accordance with the Acts. The information so obtained was published in -the weekly papers. It was held that the proprietors of the respective -papers became owners of the copyright under section 18. In _Lamb_ -v. _Evans_[349] the plaintiff employed and paid several persons in -canvassing for advertisements and arranging them under appropriate -headings in a Trades Directory. Lindley, L. J., in giving judgment, -said he thought that-- - - "The burthen of proof was on the plaintiff to show that the - headings were composed upon the terms that the copyright therein - should belong to him; but the statute does not say anything about - the kind of evidence which is to be adduced for the purpose of - proving that an article has been composed on these terms.... - If there is no express agreement the question is, what is the - inference to be drawn from the circumstances of the case. In - drawing the inference regard must be had to the nature of - the articles which are here merely the headings to groups of - advertisements with translations, and the view expressed by Mr. - Justice Maule in _Sweet_ v. _Benning_[350] may be very safely - acted upon, viz. that _prima facie_ at all events you will - infer, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, from the fact - of employment and payment that one of the terms was that the - copyright should belong to the employer. That is not a necessary - inference; but in a case of this sort, where any other inference - would be unbusinesslike, I should not hesitate myself to draw that - inference." - -Bowen, L. J., in the same case, says: - - "From where are you to collect the terms? You may collect them - from what passed between the parties, that is to say between the - plaintiff and the persons whom he employed, but you may also - collect them from the nature of the business itself, and it seems - to me to be impossible as a matter of business to suppose that - these headings were composed and furnished to the plaintiff upon - any other terms than that he was to have the copyright in them, - because otherwise those who composed them having furnished them to - the plaintiff might themselves have published them and defeated - his object." - -On the other hand in _Walter_ v. _Howe_,[351] Jessel, M. R., held -that the _Times_ could not sue in respect of a biography of Lord -Beaconsfield which had appeared in their columns. There was evidence -that the author had been paid for his literary services, but there -was apparently no evidence as to whether he had been "employed" "on -the terms that the copyright should belong" to the plaintiff. Notice -that in this case no antecedent employment whatsoever is shown. In -_Johnson_ v. _Newnes_[352] a series of stories were contributed to -the _Weekly Dispatch_ under an arrangement between the proprietor and -the author. The author was not on the permanent staff of the _Weekly -Dispatch_. He was paid by the proprietors for his contributions, the -arrangement being that the author should have the right of separately -publishing the stories, provided such separate publication did not -take place until after all the stories had appeared in the _Weekly -Dispatch_. In an action by the author against an infringer, Romer, -J., in giving judgment for the plaintiff, said that he had come to -the conclusion that although the plaintiff was paid he was not paid -on the terms that the copyright in the stories should belong to the -proprietors of the journal. The author had therefore not parted with -the copyright and was the proper plaintiff.[353] - -In _Aflalo_ v. _Lawrence_[354] the defendants published a work called -"The Encyclopaedia of Sport." A, one of the plaintiffs, agreed with the -defendants that he would edit the work. He was to receive L500 for -his services, and to write without further remuneration 7000 words -of special articles. He was entitled to pursue his literary work in -so far as it did not interfere with the performance of his duties. A -contributed an article to the encyclopaedia under this agreement. A, -by the request of the defendants, procured C, the other plaintiff, -to write certain articles for the encyclopaedia at the rate of L2 per -thousand words. The articles of both plaintiffs were published in -the encyclopaedia. Joyce, J., held that the contributions of neither -plaintiff came within section 18, since there was nothing to show that -they were contributed on the terms that the copyright therein should -belong to the defendants. The defendants were therefore not entitled -to publish the plaintiff's articles in any other form than as part -of the encyclopaedia. In view of the earlier authorities I think this -decision is extremely doubtful. - -_Joint Employers._--As has been seen above in the case of _Trade -Auxiliary_ v. _Middlesborough_,[355] two or more proprietors of -several periodicals may jointly employ an author so as to acquire the -copyright under this section. Each has a separate copyright in his -respective paper, and, although the matter contributed to the several -papers is the same, may sue without joining the other proprietors. -Each is "a transferee by virtue of section 18 of a limited portion of -the copyright in that particular composition."[356] - -_Payment._--Not only must there be employment for reward, but payment -is a condition precedent. If payment is not proved the section will -not operate to transfer the copyright from the author.[357] Payment -must be made before the commencement of an action.[358] It has been -suggested that it must be made before piracy, and this appears a sound -view since there is no copyright in the proprietor until payment, and -an infringement before copyright is assigned is no cause of action in -the assignee.[359] There is nothing to suggest that payment must be -made before publication.[360] - -_Author's Separate Rights._--When an author has contributed to a -periodical and the conditions of the section have been fulfilled so as -to vest the copyright in the proprietor of the periodical, it would -seem that for twenty-eight years, _i. e._ until the right of publishing -in separate form reverts to the author, the author has no right to -sue third parties in respect of an infringement without joining the -proprietor of the periodical as co-plaintiff. If, however, the author, -while contributing on the terms that the proprietor should have the -copyright, reserves the right of publishing his composition in a -separate form within the meaning of the proviso at the end of the -section, when he does publish in separate form he will be entitled to -copyright concurrently with the proprietor, but semble that he will -have no right to sue alone until publication in separate form,[361] or -until the lapse of twenty-eight years. - -During the twenty-eight years the proprietor of a periodical work -is not, apart from express agreement, entitled to publish the -contribution in separate form. If the proprietor does publish -separately in breach of the provision of the section, the author has a -right of action against him, and the author's right not being one of -copyright but in respect of a breach of implied or statutory contract -he does not require to be registered.[362] "Separate" means in any -other form than the original collective publication, whether as a -single work by itself or in conjunction with other matter. When the -proprietor of a magazine reprinted certain stories which had appeared -in the magazine from time to time, and published them as a supplement -to the current number, this was held to be a publication in separate -form which the author could prevent.[363] So also the republication of -the Christmas number of a periodical under a different title, form, -and price, is a separate publication of an article contained in such -number.[364] A Christmas number of a serial publication, although -published in an entirely different form with separate pagination and -sold at a different price from the ordinary numbers, is part of the -periodical, and separate publication of the stories therein will be -prohibited under section 18.[365] - -An article may be contributed to a periodical under express or implied -terms that the copyright shall belong to the proprietor for all -purposes, in which case there will be no reservation of a right of -separate publication.[366] - -It should be clearly noted that the second part of section 18 applies -only to periodical works. Therefore in the case of an encyclopaedia -or similar collective works the owner has, apart from special terms, -a right to publish the contributor's article separately from the -original publication. - -=Employer's Rights where Section 18 does not Apply.=--A question of -some difficulty has been raised from time to time to which there is no -definite authoritative answer, viz. whether apart from the provisions -of section 18 the copyright ever vests _ab initio_ in the employer of -an author. We shall see in dealing with assignment that probably the -sole right before publication to acquire the copyright of a book on -first publication may pass from the author to his assignee without -writing, either by an implied gift on delivery of the manuscript or -by express oral assignment. The question now considered is whether by -the fact of employment alone the work of the employee may not _ipso -facto_ on production become the property of his employer. In _Sweet_ -v. _Benning_[367] it was held that the employment of certain members -of the bar as reporters came within section 18, and that the copyright -vested in the employers themselves; but during the argument Maule, J., -is reported to have said: - - "One might almost infer without the aid of an Act of Parliament - that one who employs another to write an article or to make - anything else for him is the owner or proprietor." - -I think that this suggestion is wrong if applied to the case of an -independent contractor, and that if such an employment does not -come within section 18 there will be no proprietary right in the -employer _ab initio_, although it may be transferred to him before -publication by mere delivery of the manuscript with the mutual -intention to convey all rights. But in the case of a servant or agent -who produces literary work in the course of his employment, I think it -is different. I think that his work will vest _ab initio_ irrespective -of section 18, and that section 18 only applies to an independent -contractor and not to a servant. In _Hildesheimer_ v. _Dunn_[368] -Kekewich, J., takes this view. He says: - - "I entertain a strong opinion that when a person has composed - verses, we will say on behalf of another, that is to say as his - servant or agent, whether for pay or not, the person on whose - behalf such verses are composed is properly registered under the - Act as the proprietor, notwithstanding that there is no assignment - in writing or indeed any assignment at all." - - -SECTION V.--THE ASSIGNEE. - -=Before Publication.=--Before a manuscript has been published the -right to publish and acquire the copyright may be assigned so that on -publication the copyright will be the property of the assignee. If -the publication takes place during the lifetime of the author, the -assignee takes the copyright under sections 2 and 3 of the Copyright -Act, 1842.[369] Section 3 provides "that the copyright in every -book which shall, after the passing of the Act, be published in the -lifetime of its author ... shall be the property of such author and -his assigns." Section 2 provides that the word "assigns" shall be -"construed to mean and include every person in whom the interest of an -author in copyright shall be vested, whether derived from such author -before or after the publication of any book, and whether acquired by -sale, gift, bequest, or by operation of law or otherwise." If the -publication takes place after the death of the author, the assignee -takes the copyright under section 3, which enacts that "the copyright -in every book which shall be published after the death of its author -... shall be the property of the proprietor of the author's manuscript -from which such book shall first be published and his assigns." The -possession and right of property in the manuscript is _prima facie_ -proof of the right to publish and acquire copyright, but such proof -may be rebutted by showing that the possession or ownership of the -manuscript has been separated from the right to publish and acquire -copyright. Thus in the case of letters the literary property remains -in the writer and his assigns, whereas the property in the physical -substance of the manuscript has passed to the receiver and his assigns. - -If an assignment of manuscript, purporting to carry with it the -right to publish and acquire copyright, is made before publication, -it is submitted that no writing is required. The requirement that -an assignment of copyright after publication must be in writing -is founded not on an express enactment, but on implication from -section 15 of the Copyright Act, 1842.[370] This section prohibits -the reproduction of any book in which there is subsisting copyright -without the consent in writing of the proprietor thereof. From this it -is deduced by _a fortiori_ argument that an assignment of subsisting -copyright must be in writing.[371] It does not in the least follow -that the common law right in manuscript may not be assigned by any -mode by which property of that description might be assigned at -common law. The Courts have not, however, sufficiently distinguished -between an assignment before and an assignment after publication, and -as a result the case law on the subject is in a most unsatisfactory -condition. There are several cases under the statute of Anne, which -statute, in very similar words to the statute of Victoria, provides -that copyright shall belong to the author and his assignee or assigns. -There is no definition of "assigns," as in the statute of Victoria, -but the rule that assignment of copyright must be in writing is -deduced in the same way from the proviso that consent to copy must be -in writing. The cases under the statute of Anne should therefore be -equally applicable as authorities under the statute of Victoria. In -_Clementi_ v. _Walker_[372] a French author had assigned orally to -an English subject the exclusive right of printing and publishing a -musical composition in this country. The work had not been published -in England, and apart altogether from the question of a prior -publication in France, the Court was of opinion that the publication -in England did not give copyright to the English publisher, "because -there was not any assignment or consent in writing given to the author -previously to that publication. The case of _Power_ v. _Walker_[373] -is an authority to show that a parole assignment is not sufficient -to give to the assignee the privileges conferred by the legislature -upon the author." In _Colburn_ v. _Duncombe_[374] there was a written -publishing agreement whereby the author agreed to write a book and -assign the whole copyright therein. On completion the manuscript was -delivered to the publisher, and the author gave a written receipt for -the consideration and agreed to deliver a regular assignment when -called upon. This was never done, and in an action by the publisher -against an infringer it was held that he could not sue without the -author in whom the copyright had vested and remained. In _Sweet_ v. -_Shaw_[375] the plaintiffs agreed with A and B that A and B should -report cases for them. A and B accordingly took notes of cases, -and these were printed and published by the plaintiffs. Shadwell, -V. C., said that he thought the plaintiffs had a copyright in equity -but not in law. "I cannot," he said, "see how the agreement that -persons shall prepare a work for the plaintiffs gives the plaintiffs -a copyright in law, for there can be no assignment in law except of -that which actually exists." In all these three cases last cited it -is submitted that the whole right of the author should have been -held to have passed to the publisher by the delivery to him of the -manuscript with the mutual intention that he should acquire all rights -therein. The first case in which it is recognised that the author's -right may before publication pass without writing is _Jefferys_ v. -_Boosey_.[376] Erle, J.,[377] and Coleridge, J.,[378] decided that -no writing was required. Speaking of an oral assignment abroad of a -manuscript subsequently published here, Coleridge, J., said: "The -assignee is clearly within the enabling clause of the statute (8 -Anne, c. 19); he is the assignee of an author, and even if these words -may in some cases mean an assignee under an instrument in writing -attested by two witnesses, it has not been shown or decided that -they must or can mean this in all cases. I think the contrary has -been shown. Larger words and less restrained the legislature could -scarcely have used, and on what sound principle are we to import a -restraint by implication?" Lord St. Leonards, however, in the same -case, seemed to be of opinion that the assignment must be in writing -and attested by two witnesses (under 8 Anne, c. 19) even although -made before publication. In some of the cases the publisher with whom -the author has agreed that he shall have the whole copyright, but to -whom there has been no assignment in writing, has been said to be an -equitable owner of the copyright.[379] But it is submitted that if -the manuscript passes before publication with mutual intention to -convey to the publisher all right, title, and interest therein, the -publisher is the legal assignee, and on publication is the legal owner -of the copyright, and there is no necessity for a formal assignment -in writing.[380] The same principle may not apply to performing -rights in dramatic and musical works under 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15. It -is probable that statutory performing rights vest in the author on -production,[381] and if this is so there would probably be no common -law performing right, and therefore no common law assignment; the -statutory mode of assignment would attach from the beginning.[382] - -=After Publication.=--After publication an assignment must be in -writing.[383] It need not be by deed nor attested by witnesses,[384] -nor, it would seem, need it be signed by the proprietor or any -one.[385] The assignment may be given by an agent. An assignment does -not require to be registered in order to make it valid as a transfer -of the property: but an assignee who sues must be registered.[386] -If the assignor is registered as proprietor complete assignment may -be made by entry on the Book of Registry at Stationers' Hall.[387] -Probably an author, even although not registered, may make a valid -assignment by registering the book in the name of his assignee as -proprietor.[388] It has been held that an unregistered author may so -register himself and two others and give all three a title to sue as -joint proprietors, from which it seems to follow that he could have -registered the two others without himself.[389] An assignee may make -the entry on the register himself without the concurrence or consent -of his assignor.[390] - -In the case of an assignment made otherwise than by entry on the -register, the writing must in itself amount to a present conveyance of -the copyright although no particular words of conveyance are required. -An executory contract to assign is not sufficient,[391] neither -will it invalidate a subsequent regular assignment to others.[392] -A written agreement "to let A have" a particular drama in discharge -of a debt of L10 was held a complete assignment of all rights in the -drama.[393] A receipt for money purporting to be paid in respect of an -assignment is not in itself an assignment.[394] The copyright will not -pass merely by the sale and transfer of possession of any instrument -whereby the book may be reproduced such as stereotype blocks.[395] -In the event of mesne assignments the burden of proof is in those -disputing the title to show that they were not _rite et solenniter -acta_;[396] and even in the case of an alleged assignment to a party -in the action, a valid assignment has been presumed from a long course -of dealing without actual evidence of an assignment in writing.[397] - -An executory contract or a purported assignment not valid at law will -be recognised in equity, and the Court will order specific performance -or compel the assignor to allow the assignee to sue in the assignor's -name.[398] - -The assignee cannot sue in his own name in respect of acts of -infringement committed before he became proprietor.[399] An assignee -cannot, apart from special agreement, prevent his assignor selling -against him copies of the book which such assignor has printed before -assignment.[400] Probably the assignment of copyright implies a -warranty of the right to convey, free from encumbrances, and quiet -enjoyment.[401] - -Co-assignees take as tenants in common and not as joint tenants,[402] -and any one or more may maintain an action against a stranger for an -infringement of the entire copyright.[403] It follows that one of -several co-assignees cannot grant an effective licence without the -concurrence of the others.[404] - -In _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_[405] Chief Baron Pollock expressed an -opinion that if a foreigner resident abroad had a copyright in this -country, an assignment valid by the laws of a foreign country would be -sufficient, inasmuch as copyright is expressly enacted to be personal -property, and would therefore pass according to the laws of the -country where the transfer took place. - -=Partial Assignment.=--It was laid down in _Jefferys_ v. _Boosey_[406] -by Lord St. Leonards that copyright was one and indivisible, and -could not be partially assigned. If this is correct, any attempt to -assign a partial right would operate if at all as a mere licence. This -opinion of Lord St. Leonards was in respect of the statute of Anne. It -seems to be more or less accepted that under the statute of Victoria -copyright is divisible; that there may be partial assignment limited -as to place,[407] _e. g._ provincial rights, right to publish in a -particular country, or limited as to the nature of the right,[408] -_e. g._ the right to dramatize, the right to translate. This view -appears to be based on section 13 of the Act of Victoria,[409] which -enacts that a registered proprietor may assign his interest or any -portion therein by making entry on the register. I do not think that -this provision in itself is conclusive or that it necessarily follows -that a copyright can be split up and partially assigned. Section 13 -may merely mean that the owner can assign a certain undivided share -in his copyright to another. Cotton, L. J., in _Trade Auxiliary_ v. -_Middlesborough_,[410] refers to Lord St. Leonards' doctrine. He -does not disapprove of it, but he distinguishes the case of common -ownership in a copyright from the case of a partial assignment as to -place. - -In a case decided in the Supreme Court of New South Wales,[411] it was -held that the assignee of a performing right limited to the Australian -colonies could sue in his own name for infringement. The Court -distinguished between the performing right and the copyright. They -said that even although the copyright, in accordance with Lord St. -Leonards' opinion, was not divisible the performing right was.[412] - -In any view of partial assignment I do not think there can be partial -assignment as to time.[413] Such an assignment would create an estate -in possession and reversion in personal property, and there is no -reason for holding that copyright is any exception to the general -rule that such an interest cannot be created in personalty. Equitable -estates, limited as to time, can no doubt be created as in the case of -any other personal property.[414] What purports to be an assignment -limited as to time must as a rule be treated as a licence. - -=Assignment distinguished from Licence.=--The distinction between an -assignment and a licence must be carefully observed; questions of the -utmost importance will often depend on whether a transaction was one -or the other. An assignment is a conveyance of the right denuding the -grantor and carrying to the grantee the whole interest including the -right to sue and the right to re-assign, whereas a licence is only a -personal permission to the grantee to infringe the grantor's right, -and carries with it no right of action except in the grantor's name. -In determining whether a particular transaction is an assignment or a -licence, the first question is whether, on a true construction of the -statute, the right purported to be given can be given by assignment -or only by licence. If the right is one so limited that it cannot -legally be the object of assignment, the transaction must necessarily -be a licence; but if it can legally be the object of assignment, the -further question arises as to what was the intention of the parties -as evidenced by what they have said and done. There may often be -clear words to show what was intended, but more often it may never -have occurred to the parties that there was any distinction between -an assignment and a licence, and the form used will consequently be -ambiguous. The principal test in such cases is to examine the contract -and the circumstances under which it was made, and see whether or not -it bears the impress of a reliance by the grantor on the personal -skill or reputation of the grantee. If it does a licence will be -presumed rather than an assignment; for instance, in a publishing -agreement a licence only will be presumed, since either the pocket or -the reputation of the author would suffer if the right of publication -were to pass into incompetent hands.[415] - - -SECTION VI.--THE LICENSEE. - -Whether a bare licensee can bring an action for infringement without -joining the legal owner of the copyright is open to doubt. It is -submitted that he cannot. The essence of a licence proper is that it -is merely a personal relationship between a licensor and a licensee -whereby the latter is permitted to infringe the former's copyright. -The old cases are not satisfactory. The distinction between partial -assignment and licence is not clearly drawn, and the result is a -confusion of the respective rights of the assignee and the licensee. -In several cases it was said that licensees could sue[416] but _quaere_ -whether they were not really partial assignees. It has also been -said that an owner of copyright who has granted an exclusive licence -cannot sue in respect of an infringement which touches only the rights -included in such licence, unless such owner has the consent of his -licensee.[417] This again, it is submitted, is not a correct statement -of the law, and arises from a confusion between a partial assignee -and a licensee. In _Taylor_ v. _Neville_[418] the grant of provincial -performing rights although called a licence was really treated as an -assignment and distinguished from a "merely personal licence." It is -submitted that a licence proper is always "merely personal" and that -the grantor may sue without consent of his licensee. Where a licence -has been granted or when there is doubt as to whether a particular -grant is an assignment or a licence, it will always be safer to join -both grantor and grantee as co-plaintiffs. A licence will not be -presumed to be a sole licence, and unless it is expressly stated, or -must necessarily be implied from the circumstances that it is so, the -first licensee cannot restrain the licensor from granting, or a second -licensee from acting on, a second licence.[419] - - -SECTION VII.--THE EXECUTORS OR ADMINISTRATORS. - -Copyright is personal property, and descends on the death of an -owner to his personal representatives.[420] "Assigns" is expressly -interpreted to include one taking by bequest or by operation of -law. The common law property in the manuscript passes on the death -of the owner in the same way as copyright. A bequest of "all my -books" has been held to include valuable manuscript notes left by a -physician.[421] - - -SECTION VIII.--THE TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY. - -Copyright comes within the vesting section of the Bankruptcy Act -and passes to the trustee of a bankrupt owner.[422] A bankrupt's -unpublished works, probably, cannot be published for the benefit of -his creditors without his consent. - - - - -CHAPTER IV - -INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT IN BOOKS - - -SECTION I.--PROHIBITED ACTS, AND REMEDIES. - -Copyright is defined by the Copyright Act, 1842, as "the sole and -exclusive liberty of printing or otherwise multiplying copies." Any -invasion of this monopoly is an infringement of copyright. Besides -infringement of copyright, _i. e_. illegal copying, the Act makes it -an offence to deal in certain ways with unlawful copies. The offences -against copyright and the owner's remedies may be conveniently -summarised as follows: - - For the following offences:[423] - - i. Piratical copying. - ii. Importing for sale or hire unlawfully printed books. - iii. Selling or hiring, or having in possession for sale or - hire, unlawfully printed books, knowing the same - to be unlawfully printed.[424] - iv. Causing any of the above acts to be done. - - The remedies[425] are an action in a Court of Record for: - - 1. Damages and account of profits. - 2. Delivery up of copies. - 3. Injunction. - - For the following offences:[426] - - v. Importing without the consent of the proprietor a - foreign copy or copies,[427] _i. e._ printed outside the - British dominion. - vi. Selling or hiring or having in possession for sale or - hire foreign copies knowing them to be unlawfully - imported.[428] - - The remedies are: - - 1. Seizure and destruction by any officer of Customs,[429] - and on conviction before two justices of the peace. - 2. L10 for every offence.[430] - 3. Double the value of every copy dealt with,[431] and - - An action in the High Court for - - 4. An injunction.[432] - -=Causing to be Printed.=--The prohibition in section 15 is against -"printing, or causing to be printed." Thus the author, publisher,[433] -and printer of a piratical book are all equally liable, and it is no -defence for the publisher, who has employed the printer, or for the -printer to say he was acting merely as an innocent agent.[434] There -may sometimes be difficulty in determining whether a person who, to -a certain extent, is interested in the publication has yet caused it -to be printed within the meaning of the section. Thus, in the case -of _Kelly's Directories_ v. _Gavin and Lloyds_,[435] the plaintiff -had published a directory of merchants and shipping statistics. The -defendant Gavin prepared a similar directory, and agreed with the -defendants Lloyds for its publication. Lloyds were to print part of it -and allow the use of their name in the title and receive some share -in the profits. The book was accordingly published under the title of -"Lloyds' Diary for Merchants, &c.," and bore on the title-page the -statement "printed at Lloyds, Royal Exchange, London." Part of the -book was held to be an infringement of the plaintiff's copyright; -but it was proved on the trial that that part was not printed by -Lloyds, but by a printer employed by Gavin, and that Lloyds had no -knowledge of its piratical nature. Byrne, J., found that Lloyds were -not partners in the undertaking with Gavin, and that the printing of -the piratical portion was not done by the printer as their agent. He -therefore held that Lloyds had not "caused" that portion to be printed -within the meaning of the section, and dismissed the action as against -Lloyds, but without costs, as they had allowed their name to appear on -the title-page as printers. - -=Damages.=--An action for damages lies, irrespectively of sections 15 -or 23, for any infringement of copyright as defined by section 2.[436] -The damages are damages as for conversion or detinue,[437] and may be -matter for inquiry before a master or official referee, but frequently -are assessed by the judge on a rough estimate. - -=Account of Profits.=--An order for an account of profits is an -equitable remedy. The defendant is held to have been in possession -of the plaintiff's property, and must account for the profits -thereof.[438] The account will be for an account of net profits.[439] -On an interlocutory application for an injunction the defendant may -undertake to keep an account of profits until trial; but, strictly, -the right to an account depends on the right to an injunction, and -will not be ordered when the case for an injunction fails.[440] If -the defendant's work is not wholly piratical, the profits must be -apportioned according to the relative value of the piratical with -the non-piratical matter. The defendant's profits may not entirely -recoup the plaintiff for the damage he has suffered, and in that -event he is entitled to an inquiry into damages to supplement his -compensation.[441] - -=Injunction.=--This is also an equitable remedy. It is not specially -provided for in the Copyright Act, but being the ancillary remedy in -equity for the protection of legal rights, it will be granted or -withheld according to the discretion of the Courts in all cases of -infringement or other offences against the Act.[442] - -An interim injunction is usually granted on motion before trial -where the plaintiff shows a _prima facie_ case on affidavit. In -doubtful cases weight will be given to the consideration which side -is more likely to suffer from an erroneous judgment.[443] The Court -will consider the balance of convenience on the one side and the -other.[444] The reason for granting an interim injunction is that -a continuing infringement might cause damage for which it would be -difficult or impossible to assess an adequate money compensation. -If the taking is of an inconsiderable part, an interim injunction -might not be given, although an injunction might go at the hearing. -In urgent cases an interim injunction may be granted _ex parte_. In -all interim injunctions the plaintiff is, as a rule, required to -undertake to give compensation to the defendant if on trial he fails -to establish his case.[445] When such an undertaking is given the -defendant is, if he succeed in his defence, entitled to an inquiry as -to the damage sustained on account of the interim injunction against -him.[446] When there has been undue delay in bringing an action, or -where the conduct of the plaintiff has been such as to induce the -defendant to believe that his conduct would not be objected to, an -interim injunction will probably be refused.[447] A mere expression -of opinion by the plaintiff that it would be legal to make a certain -use of his work is not a sufficient ground for refusing an injunction -if in point of law the use made by the defendant is illegal.[448] -"Copyright is not to be lost by the mere expression of opinion."[449] -At the hearing of the action a perpetual injunction will be granted -on the plaintiff proving his title and infringement. Delay or -acquiescence not amounting to fraud will not prevent an injunction -going at the hearing when the plaintiff proves his right;[450] "for -at the hearing of the cause it is the duty of the Court to decide -upon the rights of the parties, and the dismissal of the bill upon -the ground of acquiescence amounts to a decision that a right which -has once existed is absolutely and for ever lost."[451] When an -infringement has been shown the Court will not wait until it can -ascertain distinctly what parts have been pirated. It will grant an -injunction in general terms restraining the defendant, his agents, -servants, or workmen from further printing, publishing, selling, or -otherwise disposing of any copy or copies of the defendant's book -containing any passage or passages copied, taken, or colourably -altered from the plaintiff's book.[452] If it appears that the -piratical parts of the defendant's book can be distinguished from that -which is innocent, this will be done in the injunction.[453] For a -form of injunction against a servant restraining him from using blocks -and materials obtained while in the plaintiff's employment, see _Lamb_ -v. _Evans_.[454] An injunction will be granted without any inquiry as -to actual damages;[455] but there must be probability of damage. In -_Borthwick_ v. _Evening Post_,[456] Cotton, L. J., said: - - "In my opinion, in order to justify the Court in granting an - injunction, we ought to be satisfied that there probably will be - injury to the pockets of the plaintiff ... an injunction is an - equitable remedy, and ought not to be granted unless the Court is - satisfied that there is damage to the plaintiff--probable damage, - not necessarily damage already suffered--as the result of the - defendant's conduct."[457] - -_Quaere_ whether an injunction will be granted to protect the future -numbers of a periodical. In _Cate_ v. _Devon and Exeter Constitutional -Newspaper Company_,[458] North, J., in granting an injunction to -restrain a systematic infringement of a periodical, said: - - "It is clear that an injunction can only be granted in respect of - matters in regard to which the plaintiffs now have the copyright - and a present right to sue; they cannot have any protection by - injunction to restrain the defendants from publishing hereafter - any future entries with respect to which the plaintiffs may - possibly ... acquire a copyright, ... but as to which they clearly - cannot at this moment have any copyright."[459] - -In another case, however, where a single illustration had been taken -from _Punch_, Kekewich, J., said he saw no objection to the injunction -extending to the protection of the contents of future numbers of -_Punch_, and granted a perpetual injunction accordingly against the -_Ludgate Monthly_.[460] An injunction will not be granted when it -is difficult or impossible to enforce it,[461] for instance, when -the defendant can readily reprint the same matter, compiling it from -original sources.[462] The piracy proved may be so inconsiderable, and -so little likely to injure the plaintiff, that the Court may decline -to interfere by injunction.[463] - -=Delivery up of Copies.=--All copies of any books wherein there is -copyright and of which entry has been made in the Registry Book -and which are unlawfully printed or imported, are deemed to be the -property of the registered proprietor of such copyright, and he is -entitled after demand in writing to sue for the same in detinue and -trover.[464] - -This right to the delivery up of pirated copies for the benefit of -the proprietor of the copyright is purely statutory. Under the Acts -of Anne and George III. the proprietor on delivery up was enjoined -to damask and make waste paper of the copies.[465] Under the Act of -Victoria the proprietor for the first time is entitled to recover such -copies for his own use. It has been doubted whether there was any -right to delivery up at common law,[466] but the bulk of authority -is in favour of the view that there was,[467] although the delivery -up was for destruction only.[468] It is a doubtful point whether -section 23 applies to unlawful copies made before registration of the -plaintiff's title. Fry, L. J., held that it did not,[469] and therefore -in the case of such copies ordered delivery up for destruction as a -common law remedy, but refused the statutory remedy of delivery up -for the plaintiff's benefit. Jessel, M. R., however, differed from -this view,[470] and thought that the 23rd section applied to unlawful -copies made before the plaintiff's title was registered. It must -also be considered doubtful whether section 23 applies where the -defendant's book is not merely a reprint of the plaintiff's. In an -Irish case O'Brien, J., said: - - "It would be difficult to maintain that under the 23rd section the - proprietor of the copyright in a book would acquire the property - of all copies of another book which contained printed therein a - few pages or passages of his book."[471] - -But, whether or not in such a case the plaintiff would be entitled -under the section to extraction and delivery up for his benefit -of the pirated parts, he is under the general jurisdiction of the -Court entitled to delivery up for cancellation.[472] In _Warne_ v. -_Seebohm_[473] the order was that the defendant should first state -upon oath what copies of the work exist; secondly, extract from -those copies which are in his possession or power and deliver up -to the plaintiffs for cancellation all passages copied, taken, or -colourably imitated from the plaintiffs' book; thirdly, produce to the -plaintiffs, if required by them for examination, the copies after the -pirated passages have been extracted.[474] _Quaere_ whether the Court -would order delivery up in an action to which the person who owned the -books and paper and at whose expense the printing was executed was not -a party.[475] - -=Customs Act.=--The Customs Laws Consolidation Act, 1876,[476] -provides for the seizure of foreign books, and in this respect is -somewhat inconsistent with section 17 of the Copyright Act. Section 42 -of the Customs Act prohibits the importation of books "first composed -or written or printed in the United Kingdom and printed or reprinted -in any other country, as to which the proprietor of such copyright or -his agent shall have given to the Commissioners of Customs a notice in -writing duly declared[477] that such copyright subsists, such notice -also stating when such copyright will expire." On reference to section -17 of the Copyright Act it will be noticed that the prohibition there -is as to books "reprinted in any country or place outside the British -dominions." _Quaere_ does the provision in the Customs Act enlarge the -protection by the words "printed or reprinted in any other country"? -Does this include the colonies? Again it will be noticed that the -Copyright Act has no condition as to notice to the Commissioners of -Customs. _Quaere_ is the notice required by the Customs Act a condition -precedent to all protection from unlawful importation, and in this -respect does the Customs Act limit the provisions of the Copyright -Act, or is the Customs Act merely directory to the Custom-house -officials? To be on the safe side the notice should always be given. -Section 44 of the Customs Act provides for the keeping of a list of -books as to which notice has been given, and section 45 entitles any -person who shall have cause to complain of the insertion of any book -in such list to apply to a judge at chambers for the rectification -thereof. - -=Every Offence.=--Each separate transaction of sale or importation -will constitute a separate offence, for which a separate penalty -of L10 will accrue.[478] It would seem that "every such offence" -does not, as in the Artistic Copyright Act, mean "or the sale or -importation of every copy."[479] - -=Limitation of Action.=--Section 26 of the Copyright Act, 1842, -enacts, "that all actions, suits, bills, indictments or informations -for any offence that shall be committed against this Act shall be -brought, sued, and commenced within twelve calendar months next after -such offence committed, or else the same shall be void and of none -effect." It is clear that even although the remedy for one offence is -barred, that in no way extinguishes the owner's right, and the owner -may sue for subsequent offences;[480] thus although a piratical book -has been printed and published more than twelve months before action -brought, yet the owner will be entitled to sue in respect of sales, -&c., made within the twelve months. In a Scotch case, _Stewart_ v. -_Black_,[481] it seems to have been held by Lord President Boyle that -the limitation in the 26th section did not apply to an action of -damages for infringement, and Malins, V. C., says _obiter_ in _Weldon_ -v. _Dicks_,[482] that in his opinion the limitation only applies to an -action for penalties. It is submitted that _Stewart_ v. _Black_, if -applied to books published after 1842, is wrong, and that the dictum -of Malins, V. C., in _Weldon_ v. _Dicks_, is also wrong. The section -seems sufficiently clear and applicable to all actions brought in -respect of an infringement of copyright. The argument contra seems -to be based on the use of the words "for any offence that shall be -committed," from which it is argued, that penalties only are pointed -at. Offence, however, is used in the 15th section as applicable to -infringement of copyright not involving penalties. In cases where the -Public Authorities Protection Act applies, the shorter limitation of -six months must be substituted.[483] - -=Pleading.=--The defendant is required to give to the plaintiff a -notice in writing of any objections on which he means to rely on the -trial of the action. If the defendant intends to dispute that the -plaintiff is author or first publisher, or that he is proprietor, he -must state the name of the person whom he alleges to be the author or -proprietor, together with the title of the book and the time when, and -the place where, such book was first published.[484] It has been said -to be sufficient, in the case of an old publication, to state the year -of first publication without stating the day and month in the notice -of objections.[485] - -The notice of objections must be specific, and give full notice of -the nature of the defence.[486] If the defence is that the book has -not been registered at all, that must be stated.[487] If a faulty -registration is relied on, it is not sufficient to deny that the book -has been duly registered; the notice must state what the particular -objection to the registration is.[488] If the plaintiff's title is -denied, it will not do merely to state that the proprietor "is some -person unknown, but not the plaintiff;"[489] the full particulars -as required by the section must be given.[490] In objecting to the -registration, however, it is not necessary for the defendant to state -what the correct entry should he. Thus if he says the time of first -publication is wrongly entered, he does not require to specify the -true date of first publication.[491] It is unnecessary to deliver -a separate "Notice of Objections," as was the practice at one -time,[492] it is sufficient if it is incorporated in the defence. A -suggestion of defective title contained in an affidavit would not be -sufficient.[493] If a defective title is apparent from the plaintiff's -own statement of claim or evidence, the action would probably be -dismissed by the Court, _proprio motu_, even although the defendant -had not given notice of objection.[494] Leave to amend the pleadings -and take further objection may be allowed on conditions under the -judicial discretion given by the Rules of the Supreme Court,[495] but -if the objection be merely technical, the Court will not give leave to -amend,[496] unless, perhaps, the plaintiff had otherwise fair notice -that the objection might be taken.[497] It has been held by a County -Court judge that section 16 of the Copyright Act does not apply to -proceedings in the County Court, as that Court was created after the -date of the Act.[498] - -The plaintiff may be ordered to specify the particular passages which -he is prepared to prove have been pirated from his work.[499] - -=Evidence.=--The great test of piracy is coincidence of blunders, -and when some passages are proved by the recurrence of blunders to -have been copied, other passages which are the same with passages in -the original book are presumed _prima facie_ to be likewise copied, -although no blunders occur in them.[500] - -It will greatly prejudice the defendant if his manuscript is not -produced or accounted for.[501] - -A denial by the defendant that he has made any use whatsoever of the -plaintiff's work raises a presumption of piracy if it is shown that he -must have made some use of it, however fair.[502] - -To prove that A on a certain date heard certain music performed from -printed sheets, is no evidence that the music was published as a book -at that date.[503] - -=Discovery.=--The defendant is entitled to administer interrogatories -to ascertain the extent of the sale of plaintiff's book, and to enable -the defendant to ascertain the damages and pay into Court.[504] - -The plaintiff is entitled to interrogate as to the original sources -from which the defendant alleges his work to have been compiled.[505] - -=Mode of Trial.=--Formerly the question of piracy or no piracy and -the amount of damages was frequently tried by jury, but now the trial -of the action is almost invariably before a judge alone, either in -the Chancery or the King's Bench Division. Either party may ask for a -trial by jury, but not as a matter of right, it is a matter entirely -in the discretion of the Court and semble that the onus lies on the -party applying for a jury to show that the cause could be more -conveniently tried in that way.[506] - -=Costs.=--In copyright as in other actions a successful party -may be refused his costs. The plaintiff will not get his costs if -he has unduly acquiesced in the defendant's conduct, and thereby -induced the defendant to incur expenses,[507] or if after acquiescence -and delay an action is brought without fair warning.[508] So, too, -if the plaintiff has suffered no real harm, but brings an action for -the purpose of making money out of it;[509] and in one case where -the Court was of opinion that although the plaintiff was entitled -to nominal damages, the action was one which should never -have been brought, the plaintiff was ordered to pay the defendant's -costs as well as his own.[510] If the plaintiff has increased the -expenses by raising other questions in which he has failed, the -costs will be apportioned.[511] A defendant, although successful, -may lose his costs or part of them if he has acted in such a way -as was not fair and right as between man and man;[512] for instance, -if he has made some use of the plaintiff's book, but does not -acknowledge it at the hearing.[513] A successful defendant may -lose his costs if in his defence he challenges the plaintiff's title -and fails in his attack, but wins on the question of piracy. If a -defendant by his conduct in lending his name to a publication -has led the plaintiff to assume that he "caused it to be printed," -he will probably not be allowed his costs.[514] A defendant may -also be refused his costs if the Court is of opinion that he -brought the action on himself by sailing too near the wind.[515] -The Court will not encourage a plagiarist or one who has made -an illiberal use of another's work, even although he has not -actually committed a piracy. Costs have also been refused -where, although the defendant succeeded, his defence was a -merely technical one, such as a defect in registration.[516] If copyright -is claimed in part of a book only, the whole of which is -registered without distinction, the notice of motion or statement -of claim should specify the parts in which copyright is claimed, -or the plaintiff may be liable in costs unnecessarily incurred by -the defendant.[517] - - -SECTION II.--WHAT IS A PIRATICAL COPY. - -Literary property may be invaded in three ways: - - (i) Open Piracy; - (ii) Literary Larceny; - (iii) Commercial Fraud.[518] - -With the first there is no difficulty once a title has been -established and the pirate caught. It consists in a bodily reprinting -and publishing of the whole or of large portions of a copyright book. -The third is not properly speaking an infringement of copyright. It is -the invasion of the common law rights of an author or publisher, and -will be dealt with later. The second, literary larceny, gives rise to -many difficult questions and is dealt with in this section. - -The question put by the law is, in its simplest form: "Is the alleged -infringement an unauthorised copy of the whole or part of a copyright -work?" The statute does not attempt to define what a copy is, and -such rules as there are for determining whether one work is a copy of -another are entirely derived from the case law on the subject. It is -impossible to lay down any very definite rules as to infringement; -it is really a question of fact not of law; and although now almost -invariably tried by a judge sitting alone, it was at one time -constantly referred to the decision of a jury. The judges either in -giving their own decisions or in directing juries have from time to -time laid down general rules as an aid to determining these questions -of fact. - -The Copyright Acts have always received a liberal interpretation in -favour of the author, and against the plagiarist. "If we can construe -the Act so as to promote fair and honest dealing, such a construction -is to be preferred."[519] - -=What is a Copy.=--A copy is that which will provide a substitute -for the whole or for a substantial part of the original book.[520] -The owner of the copyright has the sole and exclusive liberty of -printing or otherwise multiplying copies. It has been held that -the right is not in any way limited by section 15 of the Copyright -Act, 1842, which section applies its remedy only to cases where the -subject-matter is multiplied by printing.[521] Thus copies produced by -writing,[522] lithography,[523] type writing,[524] photography,[525] -are copies within the meaning of the Act. The symbols used matter -little in themselves; the question in each case is whether the -defendants are multiplying copies.[526] It is not necessary that the -copy should be primarily intended to be used for the same purpose -as the original. Thus a copy in shorthand characters intended for -instruction in shorthand was held to be an infringement of a story in -a magazine.[527] But the copy must provide a reasonable substitute -for the whole or part of the original work. A perforated scroll used -for the mechanical reproduction of music from an instrument is not a -copy, since no reasonable being would use it as a substitute for the -original sheet of music.[528] - -=A Substantial Part must be Taken.=--In other words, _De minimis non -curat lex_. - - "Part is not necessarily the same as particle, and there may be a - taking so minute in its extent and so trifling in its nature as - not to incur the statutable liability."[529] - -In _Sweet_ v. _Benning_,[530] Jervis, C. J., said: - - "It is undoubtedly exceedingly difficult, perhaps absolutely - impossible, to lay down any general rule upon this subject. I do - not assent to the argument that every publication of a portion of - a work in which there is subsisting copyright will afford a ground - of action: it is a question of degree which must depend upon the - circumstances of each particular case." - -In _Chatterton_ v. _Cave_,[531] Brett, J., said: - - "Unless there is a taking of a material and substantial part there - is no infringement of copyright. It is true that the question - under the second section is not only whether the whole production - has been copied, but also whether a part has been copied; but by a - part this section must mean a material and substantial part."[532] - -In _Chatterton_ v. _Cave_,[533] two small points or incidents -were taken from one drama by the author of another, and it was -held that the taking was not of a substantial part. In _Pike_ v. -_Nicholas_,[534] in the case of two rival essays on the same subject, -one quotation from a classical author was taken by the defendant -directly from the plaintiff's book; Lord Hatherley, L. C., and Giffard, -L. J., were of opinion that it would not do to show merely one or two -passages; some material part of the book must be shown to have been -taken. - -The question is not altogether one of quantity, it is perhaps mainly -one of quality,[535] and depends on the character of the work and the -relative value of the material taken.[536] - - "The question of the extent of appropriation which is necessary - to establish an infringement of copyright is often one of extreme - difficulty: but in cases of this description the quality of the - piracy is more important than the proportion which the borrowed - passages bear to the whole work."[537] - - "It ought to be clearly established that, looking at the works as - a whole, there has been a substantial appropriation by the one - party of the independent labour of the other before any proceeding - on the ground of copyright can be justified."[538] - - "When it comes to a question of quantity it must be very vague. - One writer might take all the vital[539] part of another's book, - though it might be but a small proportion of the book in quantity. - It is not only quantity, but value that is always looked to."[540] - - "The principle of the cases is that, when one man for his own - profit puts into his work an essential part of another man's work - from which that other may still derive profit, or from which but - for the act of the first he might have derived profit, there is - evidence of piracy."[541] - -Although it is no excuse for infringement to say that the matter taken -has been improved upon or added to, yet there may be so much new -matter that the part borrowed becomes so insignificant that the Courts -will not interfere. In _Mawman_ v. _Tegg_,[542] Lord Chancellor Eldon -says: - - "After the quantity of matter which has been copied has been - ascertained, the quantity of matter not piratical with which the - piratical matter has been intermixed is still a circumstance of - great importance." - -The materiality of the part taken may sometimes be judged more by the -proportion which it bears to the defendant's work than to the work -from which it is taken. Thus in _Neale_ v. _Harmer_[543] the plaintiff -had prepared and published an elaborate work intituled "The Abbey -Church of St. Alban," containing about 200 architectural drawings. -The defendant took and published three of these in a magazine article -on St. Alban's Abbey, and they were the only strictly architectural -drawings illustrating the article. It was held to be an infringement. -Kekewich, J., said in his judgment: - - "It is said that these drawings did not form a material part of - the plaintiff's work. In one sense that is true. The plaintiff's - work is a large one, and it is a very learned work. The test is - not so much what proportion of the plaintiff's work had been - taken, but rather what portion of the defendant's work is the - plaintiff's." - -In questions of amount it is material to inquire whether the matter -was taken so as to compete with the plaintiff's work,[544] but an -infringement need not necessarily be shown to be in competition with -the work infringed, since it is sufficient if the defendant has made -such a use of part of the plaintiff's work as the plaintiff might -himself have done. - -If matter is taken regularly and systematically by one periodical from -another, and particularly if it is taken and claimed to be taken as of -right, a very small amount will suffice.[545] As to a claim of right, -North, J., said in _Cate_ v. _Devon_: - - "That of itself is sufficient to put the plaintiff in the wrong in - the action and get over any question as to the amount of matter - actually taken."[546] - -Although the Court will not grant a remedy for a trifling -infringement, it will not refuse an injunction merely on account -of the minute inquiries into detail which, in some cases, may be -necessary to establish even an extensive piracy.[547] - -=No Animus Furandi need be Proved.=--In _Cary_ v. _Kearsley_[548] Lord -Ellenborough's judgment contained a reference to the _animus furandi_ -in cases of infringement, from which a mistaken idea seems to have -arisen that in all cases of infringement the _animus furandi_ must be -proved.[549] Lord Ellenborough said: - - "That part of the work of one author is found in another is not in - itself piracy or sufficient to support an action; a man may fairly - adopt part of the work of another; he may so make use of another's - labours for the promotion of science and the benefit of the - public, but having done so the question will be, was the matter so - taken used fairly with that view and without what I may term the - _animus furandi_."[550] - -This did not mean that in every case of infringement alleged it was -necessary to prove an _animus furandi_ or guilty intention. Lord -Ellenborough in a subsequent case[551] said: - - "The intention to pirate is not necessary in an action of this - sort; it is enough that the publication complained of is in - substance a copy whereby a work vested in another is prejudiced. - If A takes the property of B the _animus furandi_ is inferred from - the act."[552] - -In _Scott_ v. _Stanford_,[553] Page Wood, V. C., after quoting -the above passage from Lord Ellenborough's judgment in _Cary_ v. -_Kearsley_,[554] said: - - "It is urged that this is a case in which no _animus furandi_ can - be found on the part of Mr. Hunt, who has taken these statistics - in perfect good faith and with the fullest acknowledgment[555] - in his book of the source from which they are derived. But if in - effect the great bulk of the plaintiff's publication--a large and - vital portion of his work and labour--has been appropriated and - published in a form which will materially injure his copyright, - mere honest intention on the part of the appropriator will not - suffice, as the Court can only look at the result and not at - the intention in the man's mind at the time of doing the act - complained of, and he must be presumed to intend all that the - publication of his work effects."[556] - -Although the _animus furandi_ does not require to be proved, it is -a useful aid to proof, and where it appears piracy is more readily -presumed.[557] - -=Taking not necessarily for Profit.=--The prohibition in section 15 -of the Copyright Act, 1842, is against printing or causing to be -printed "either for sale or exportation," but as this has been held -not to confine piracy to copying by means of printing, neither does -it confine it to copying for sale or exportation, and the purpose for -which the copy when made is to be used is immaterial. In _Alexander_ -v. _Mackenzie_[558] the Society of Writers to the Signet in Edinburgh -prepared for the use of their own members a book of forms taken -largely from a similar copyright work. The Court of Session held -that this was an infringement of copyright. A catalogue of books, -although not intended for sale, may be an infringement of another -catalogue;[559] manuscript copies of a copyright song distributed -exclusively among the members of a philharmonic society,[560] and a -telegraphic code distributed only among the agents of a shipping firm -have also been prohibited.[561] In _Ager_ v. _The P. & O._, Kay, J., -said: - - "It has long been settled that multiplying copies for private - distribution among a limited class of persons is just as illegal - as if it were done for the purpose of sale." - -It is submitted that making a single copy for private use is an -infringement. - -=Copying may be Indirect and Unintentional.=--If matter in which -copyright exists is taken it is immaterial that the appropriation -was made not directly from the original work but indirectly -through some other work, copyright or non-copyright, authorised or -unauthorised. Thus a book may be infringed by retranslating or copying -a translation of it,[562] and a drama may be infringed by dramatizing -a novel founded on the drama.[563] In _Cate_ v. _Devon and Exeter -Constitutional Newspaper Company_,[564] it was argued that an indirect -copying could not be considered an infringement, because since the -copyist is ignorant of what works he is indirectly copying, he cannot -know whether or not he is infringing any copyright books, but this -argument was rejected. Ignorance on the part of the copyist does not -excuse him from the consequences of his act.[565] - -=Custom of Trade= has been pleaded in defence of what was otherwise -clearly a piracy. A custom was alleged whereby provincial newspapers -were entitled to make large extracts, without criticism, from articles -in magazines which were sent to them;[566] and in another case "a -usual practice" among publishers of magazines to take articles from -each other[567] was pleaded. It is clear that no such customs can be -admitted. In _Walter_ v. _Steinkopff_[568] the _St. James' Gazette_ -alleged that there was a universal understanding among journalists and -newspaper proprietors that paragraphs of news may be quoted verbatim -by one daily paper from another without express consent, provided (1) -the source was acknowledged, (2) the papers were not direct rivals, -(3) there is give and take between the papers, and (4) no expressed -objection. The _St. James' Gazette_ took articles from the _Times_ -on this alleged footing. North, J., held that they had not complied -with these conditions, and that even if they had it would have been no -defence. - - "The plea of the existence of such a habit or practice of copying, - as is set up, can no more be supported when challenged than the - highwayman's plea of the custom of Hounslow Heath."[569] - -=Fair Use.=--When an author writes on a subject in which there are -common sources of information he must do the work of research and -compilation for himself, and the only use he can lawfully make of a -prior copyright work on the same subject is-- - - i. Using the information or the ideas contained in it without - copying its words or imitating them so as to produce - what is substantially a copy. - ii. Making extracts (even if they are not acknowledged as - such) appearing under all the circumstances of the case - reasonable in quality, number, and length, regard being - had to the objects for which the extracts are made and - to the subjects to which they relate. - iii. Using one book on a given subject as a guide to authorities - afterwards independently consulted by the author - of another book on the same subject. - iv. Using one book on a given subject for the purpose of - checking the results independently arrived at by the - author of another book on the same subject.[570] - -_No one can monopolize a Field of Labour._--Although an author has -been the first to deal with a particular subject, his priority gives -him no exclusive right therein.[571] Any one else can do exactly -the same as he has done. If a man draws a map of a newly-discovered -island, or writes a book on the habits of its natives, he acquires no -right to prevent any one from competing with him in the publication -of maps and books dealing with that island.[572] His only right is -to prevent any one else from taking matter from his book. In one -of the older cases it was suggested that there was a usage among -booksellers--a sort of comity among them--by which if one preoccupied -a certain subject he was considered a sort of proprietor.[573] In that -case Lord Eldon repudiated the idea that such could be the law, and -now no monopoly of the kind could be suggested. - - "All human events are equally open to all who wish to add to - or improve the materials already collected by others making an - original work."[574] - -_No Infringement to take Facts._--It is no infringement to state a -fact or an opinion which another man has stated for the first time: -but you must not take his mode of expression or his selection or -arrangement of facts which he has thought proper to state. Thus there -is no copyright in a mere piece of news, for instance, "The Emperor of -China is dead." If one newspaper proprietor received a telegram from -abroad to that effect, another could take the information as published -and print it in his newspaper. But although there is no copyright in -news as such, the smallest taking of a selection or arrangement of -news will be prohibited. In a case in Victoria[575] the defendants -had taken the plaintiff's telegrams, rearranged them, and altered -the expression, and yet they were held to have been guilty of an -infringement. - -_No Infringement to take the General Scheme or Idea of another Book -or the Theories therein._--Copyright does not extend to ideas or -schemes or systems or methods: it is confined to their expression; and -if their expression is not copied the copyright is not infringed.[576] -Thus in _Jarrold_ v. _Houlston_,[577] Page Wood, V. C., said that even -although Dr. Brewer's "Guide to Science," which purported to give -popular scientific information under various headings in the form of -question and answer, had been the first book of the kind, there was -nothing to prevent another person from originating another book in the -same general form, provided he did so from his own resources.[578] In -_Pike_ v. _Nicholas_, the case of two rival historical essays on "The -Origin of the English Nation," James, V. C., said: - - "There is no monopoly in the main theory of the plaintiff, or - in the theories and speculations by which he has supported - it, nor even in the use of the published results of his own - observations."[579] - -A careful distinction must be drawn between the taking of a scheme -and the taking of it as applied to certain material, _i. e._ the -taking of the expression. For instance, in _Kelly_ v. _Morris_,[580] -the plaintiff had adopted a "very ingenious form of arrangement" in -his "Street Directory." The defendant was held to have infringed -the plaintiff's copyright by taking his list of streets from the -plaintiff's work. The only thing he was entitled to do was to adopt -the "ingenious form of arrangement" and apply it for himself. - -_Every Author must do his own Work._--In _Longman_ v. -_Winchester_,[581] the action being for the infringement of copyright -in a court calendar, Lord Eldon drew an analogy to the case of a map -describing a particular county and a map of the same county afterwards -published by another person, which, if the description be accurate in -both, must be very much the same, yet he said: - - "It is clear the latter publisher cannot on that account be - justified in sparing himself the labour and expense of actual - survey." - -In _Lewis_ v. _Fullarton_,[582] Lord Langdale, M. R., said: - - "Any man is entitled to write and publish a topographical - dictionary and to avail himself of the labours of all former - writers whose works are not subject to copyright, and of all - public sources of information: but whilst all are entitled to - resort to common sources of information, none are entitled to save - themselves trouble and expense by availing themselves for their - own profit of other men's works still subject to copyright and - entitled to protection."[583] - -In the case of Dr. Brewer's "Guide to Science,"[584] Page Wood, V. C., -said: - - "In publishing a work in the form of question and answer on a - variety of scientific subjects the defendant had a right to look - to all those books which were unprotected by copyright, and to - make such use of them as he thought fit by turning them into - questions and answers. He had also a further right if he found a - work like Dr. Brewer's, and perusing it was struck by seeing--as - I think has been the case in the present instance--that the - author had been led up to particular questions and answers by the - perusal of some other work to have recourse himself to the same - work, although possibly he would not have thought of doing so but - for the perusal of the plaintiff's book.... It would also be a - legitimate use of a work of this description if the author of a - subsequent work, after getting his own work with great pains and - labour into a shape approximating to what he considered a perfect - shape, should look through the earlier work to see whether it - contained any heads which he had forgotten."[585] - -In _Hotten_ v. _Arthur_[586] the same judge held that the defendant -had infringed the plaintiff's descriptive catalogue of books for -sale: - - "The only fair use you can make of the work of another of this - kind is where you take a number of such works, catalogues, - dictionaries, digests, &c., and look over them all, and then - compile an original work of your own founded on the information - you have extracted from each and all of them: but it is of vital - importance that such new work shall have no mere copying, no - merely colourable alterations, no blind repetition of obvious - errors." - -In _Kelly_ v. _Morris_,[587] a directory case, there is another clear -dictum from the same judge: - - "In the case of a dictionary, map, guide-book, or directory, when - there are certain common objects of information which must, if - described correctly, be described in the same words, a subsequent - compiler is bound to set about doing for himself that which the - first compiler has done. In case of a road-book he must count the - milestones for himself. In the case of a map of a newly-discovered - island he must go through the whole process of triangulation - just as if he had never seen any former map; and generally he - is not entitled to take one word of the information previously - published without independently working out the matter for himself - so as to arrive at the same result from the same common sources - of information, and the only use he can legitimately make of a - previous publication is to verify his own calculations and results - when obtained. So in the present case the defendant could not take - a single line of the plaintiff's directory for the purpose of - saving himself labour and trouble in getting his information.... - What he has done has been just to copy the plaintiff's book and - then send out canvassers to see if the information so copied - was correct.... The work of the defendant has clearly not been - compiled by the legitimate application of independent personal - labour."[588] - -In _Scott_ v. _Stanford_,[589] Page Wood, V. C., held that certain -tables of statistical returns in the coal market had been pirated. In -his judgment he said: - - "The defendant, after collecting the information for himself, - might have checked his results by the plaintiff's tables, but that - is a widely different thing from this wholesale extraction of the - vital part of his work. No man is entitled to avail himself of the - previous labours of another for the purpose of conveying to the - public the same information, although he may append additional - information to that already published." - -In _Morris_ v. _Ashbee_,[590] Giffard, V. C., held that the copyright in -a business directory had been infringed in so far as the compilation -and arrangement of the advertisements and names of traders were taken -from the plaintiff's directory. In giving judgment he commented on -_Kelly_ v. _Morris_,[591] pointing out that the decision in that case -was not based solely on the fact that the information was reprinted -bodily by the defendants and then verified when possible: - - "The decree is general in its terms, following _Lewis_ v. - _Fullarton_,[592] and the substance of the judgment is that in a - case such as this no one has a right to take the results of the - labour and expense incurred by another for the purposes of a rival - publication, and thereby save himself the expense and labour of - working out and arriving at these results by some independent - road." - -In reference to the case before him the Vice-Chancellor said: - - "It is plain that it could not be lawful for the defendants - simply to cut the slips which they have cut from the plaintiff's - directory and insert them in theirs. Can it be lawful to do so - because in addition to doing this they sent persons with the slips - to ascertain their correctness? I say, clearly not. Then, again, - would their acts be rendered lawful because they got payment and - authority[593] for the insertion of the names from each individual - whose name appeared in the slips? And to this again I answer, - clearly not. They had no right to make the results arrived at by - the plaintiff the foundation of their work or any material part of - it, and this they have done."[594] - -In _Morris_ v. _Wright_,[595] another case of alleged infringement of -the same business directory, Giffard, L. J., distinguished it from -_Kelly_ v. _Morris_[596] and _Morris_ v. _Ashbee_,[597] inasmuch as -the plaintiff's work had only been used by the defendant as a guide to -original sources. He held that there was no infringement. Referring -to the passage quoted above from the judgment of Page Wood, V. C., in -_Kelly_ v. _Morris_,[598] he said: - - "This passage does not mean that a subsequent compiler may not - look into the book for the purpose of ascertaining whether it was - worth his while to call upon that person or not, but it means that - he may not take that particular slip and show that to the person - and get his authority as to putting that particular slip in."[599] - -So also quotations from and references to previous authors must not be -taken bodily from a rival work. They may be used as a guide and as a -guide only. Lord Hatherley, L. C., in _Pike_ v. _Nicholas_,[600] a case -of rival historical works on the same subject, said: - - "Although the defendant might have been led to look more minutely - into _Prichard_ than he otherwise would have done by referring - to the plaintiffs work, still the plaintiff could not say, 'I, - having found these passages in _Prichard_, will prohibit all the - world who may find the same passages from making use of them.' - The moment he had given that degree of light to the defendant - which led him to refer to that common source, if the defendant did - really and _bona fide_ look at that common source, he did all that - this Court required him to do. He must not simply copy the passage - from the plaintiffs book, but, having been put on to the track, - and having looked at that particular part of the book which the - plaintiff led him to, he was entitled to make use of every passage - from that author which the plaintiff had made use of."[601] - -In this case the quotation was proved to have been taken directly from -the plaintiff's work, but this was considered to be so small a taking -that the bill was dismissed, though without costs, the Court being -satisfied "that the book of the defendant was his own composition in -this sense, that wherever he got the materials from they were worked -up by him into his own language."[602] - -It is no excuse for piracy to say that with a little labour the -copyist could have produced identically the same result.[603] The fact -that the result may be identical is a reason for not making a new -book, but it is no reason for copying another's book. - -_Work with a Different Object._--An author is much less restricted in -the use which he may make of a previously published copyright book if -such book is of an entirely different nature or has a different scope -or object from his own work. Considerable portions may then be taken -for the purpose of comment, criticism, or illustration. Lord Eldon -suggested in one case[604] that a copyright map might be taken bodily -for the purpose of insertion in a book giving an historical account -of all the different maps of a particular district. In _Bradbury_ -v. _Hotten_,[605] Kelly, C. B., suggested that a picture might be -reproduced amongst a large collection published for an entirely -different object from that which the first publisher had in view. - - "We must consider in each case the intent of the copyist and the - nature of the work. A traveller publishes a book of travels about - some distant country like China. Amongst other things he describes - some mode of preparing food in use there. Then the compiler of a - cookery book republishes the description. No one would say that - was a piracy. So, again, an author publishes a history illustrated - with woodcuts of the heads of kings, and another person writing - another history of some other country finds occasion to copy one - of these woodcuts. That again would not be a piracy."[606] - -These _obiter dicta_ illustrate sufficiently well the distinction -between taking for a rival work and taking for an entirely different -object; it is probable, however, that some of them go too far and -tend to follow the mistake of the older view of infringement in -looking more to the value of the work done by the plagiarist than to -the value of the material taken. As authoritative _dicta_ they must, -therefore, be accepted with caution. The best test of infringement -or no infringement in a taking of this kind is to inquire whether -the subsequent work by reason of the taking provides a substitute -for the whole or any substantial part of the prior publication. In -_Bradbury_ v. _Hotten_,[607] nine cartoons, illustrative of the career -of Napoleon III., were published in _Punch_ in nine several weekly -numbers. The defendants published a volume entitled "Story of the -Life of Napoleon, as told by popular Caricaturists of the last thirty -years," which contained among numerous other illustrations taken from -French and English comic journals the nine cartoons first produced -in _Punch_. This was held to be an infringement of the copyright in -_Punch_. In _Nicols_ v. _Pitman_[608] the defendant published in an -educational work for the purpose of instruction in shorthand writing -a lecture delivered by the plaintiff on "The Dog as the Friend of -Man." The Court held there was an infringement, because although the -lecture was reproduced in shorthand characters, it might by those -who could read shorthand be reasonably used as a substitute for the -lecture printed in ordinary characters. A compiler of an encyclopaedia -or similar work would probably be allowed to quote to a certain -extent from copyright monographs, but this must not be carried to -such an extent as to supersede the original work.[609] Several cases -have been before the Courts on the verbatim copying of law reports -in whole or in part into legal treatises of various kinds. The -collection of all the reports on a particular branch of law such as -"Poor Law"[610] or "Registration of Voters,[611] is an infringement -of copyright if they are copied verbatim from previously published -copyright reports. This will be so even although they are collected -from the reports of many different reporters.[612] In _Sweet_ v. -_Benning_,[613] a digest compiled by taking verbatim the head notes -from copyright law reports and arranging them under appropriate titles -was held to be an illegal publication, the Court being of opinion -that the defendant had been guilty of an abuse of the fair right of -extract, which the law allows for the purpose of comment, criticism, -or illustration. No doubt in text-books large portions of the head -notes, arguments of counsel, and judgments may be taken verbatim. -In an ordinary legal text-book it would require a very free use of -verbatim quotation to found the necessary argument that the text-book -provided even to the smallest extent a substitute for the original -reports. A more difficult question arises where volumes of leading -cases are published, the cases being reproduced verbatim from the -original reports but with extensive notes and comment. In _Saunders_ -v. _Smith_,[614] the Court refused to decide whether "Smith's Leading -Cases" constituted an infringement of the original reports, judgment -going for the defendants on the ground of acquiescence. In the Irish -case of _Hodges_ v. _Welsh_[615] a similar problem was suggested but -not decided. The better view probably is that such a wholesale taking -is an infringement of the copyright of the original reporters. - -_Extract for Purpose of Criticism._--Lord Eldon, in _Mawman_ v. -_Tegg_,[616 says: - - "Quotation is necessary for the purpose of reviewing, and - quotation for such a purpose is not to have the appellation of - piracy affixed to it; but quotation may be carried to the extent - of manifesting piratical intention." - -Considerable quotation may be made for the _bona fide_ purpose of -criticising a copyright book;[617] in one case[618] nearly a quarter -of a controversial article in a magazine was quoted in a reply -thereto published in another magazine, and the Court held that this -constituted no infringement, as the extracts were clearly inserted -for the purpose of criticism and argument. The question is whether so -much of the original work is extracted that the review substantially -communicates the same knowledge as the book reviewed.[619] Thus in -_Campbell_ v. _Scott_,[620] the defendant published "The Book of -Poets" containing, _inter alia_, an essay and biographical notice of -the poet Campbell, and, as the defendant said, by way of illustrating -the poet's works, a large number of his poems and extracts therefrom -were appended to the biographical notice without any particular -observations in the way of notes to individual pieces or extracts. -This was clearly an infringement of the poet's copyright. In a similar -case, _Smith_ v. _Chatto_,[621] the defendants published a book -entitled "Thackerayana." It purported to be a critical essay on the -life and works of Thackeray, and contained extensive quotations from -his writings, prefaced and interspersed with comments by the writer of -the book. Hall, V. C., held in fact that the defendants had inserted -the extracts for the purpose of increasing and enhancing the value of -their book, and that they had therefore infringed the copyright in -Thackeray's works. - -_Improvement or Addition of New Matter no Excuse._--In the earlier -cases of taking material from a rival publication if it was shown -to have been greatly improved and added to, this was accepted as an -excuse for the piracy, on the ground that a new and more useful work -had been given to the public. Thus in _Sayre_ v. _Moore_[622] Lord -Mansfield said: - - "If an erroneous chart be made, God forbid it should not be - corrected even in a small degree if it thereby become more - serviceable and useful for the purposes to which it is applied." - -In _Cary_ v. _Kearsley_,[623] Lord Ellenborough said: - - "While I shall think myself bound to secure every man in the - enjoyment of his copyright, one must not put manacles on science." - -In _Martin_ v. _Wright_,[624] Shadwell, V. C., says: - - "Any person may copy and publish the whole of a literary - composition provided he writes notes upon it so as to present it - to the public connected with matter of his own." - -The theory of these early cases on infringement seems to have -been--colourable alteration is not to be allowed, but no check must -be put on the taking of material when it is taken _bona fide_ in the -interests of scientific or literary knowledge. Gradually, however, -the Courts in questions of infringement came to look more to the -interests of the author than to those of the public, and regarded the -law of copyright more as a means of securing rights of property to -the individual than as an unnatural monopoly created for the purpose -of encouraging and developing literary effort. Thus in _D'Almaine_ v. -_Boosey_,[625] in 1835, it was held to be an infringement to publish -the music of an opera in the form of waltzes and quadrilles, and this -notwithstanding that these waltzes and quadrilles would, if taken from -the music of a non-copyright opera, have been protected as original -works.[626] Since then many cases have followed on the same lines, -and no addition, correction, or improvement will now be accepted as -an excuse for taking a material part of a copyright publication.[627] -But although improvement and addition is no excuse for taking a -substantial portion of another author's work, the fact that there -has been such improvement and addition is not to be entirely ignored -in questions of infringement. It may be an important factor in -determining whether or not there has been a taking of a substantial -part.[628] We have seen that to determine that question the two -works must be taken as a whole and their relation to one another -considered, and particularly the relative value of the material -taken.[629] - -_Dramatization of a Novel._--The representation on the stage of -a dramatized version of a copyright novel is not in itself an -infringement of copyright in such novel, since copyright only -prohibits the reproduction of copies, and representation on the stage -does not necessarily imply that a copy of the whole or any material -part of the novel has been made.[630] But if in dramatizing any -substantial passages are taken from the novel, it is an infringement -of copyright to print and publish the drama,[631] and in _Warne_ -v. _Seebohm_[632] Stirling, J., held that the making of four -manuscript or typewritten copies of a drama taken from a copyright -novel--one for the Lord Chamberlain and the other three for use in -representation--constituted an infringement of the copyright in the -novel. In this case, as in _Tinsley_ v. _Lacy_,[633] considerable -passages in the play had been extracted verbatim from the novel. - -Whether if no actual sentences be taken it is an infringement of -copyright to take the characters, the sequence of events, and scenes, -in short, the plot, is doubtful. In _Warne_ v. _Seebohm_ it was -suggested by Stirling, J., in his judgment, that a novel might be -lawfully dramatized if a few copies of the novel were purchased and a -drama compiled therefrom by cutting out and pasting in the passages -which it was thought desirable to take. This, however, would involve a -copying of the arrangement of scenes and events, and it is suggested -that even that might be an infringement. - -_Abridgments._--Probably an abridgment in the ordinary sense of the -word, that is, the reproduction of a book in a shorter form, retaining -the general scheme and arrangement, and the sequence of ideas, would -now be held to be an infringement.[634] In the earlier cases, which -tend to excuse a taking by reason of the utility of additional work -bestowed upon the material taken, an abridgment is recognised as -a lawful use of a copyright book. In 1740 Lord Hardwicke, L. C., in -dealing with an alleged abridgment of Sir Matthew Hale's _Historia -Placitorum Coronae_,[635] said: - - "Where books are colourably shortened only they are undoubtedly - within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, and are a mere - evasion of the statute and cannot be called an abridgment. But - this must not be carried so far as to restrain persons from - making a real and fair abridgment, for abridgments may with great - propriety be called a new book, because not only the paper and - print but the invention, judgment, and learning of the author is - shown in them, and in many cases are extremely useful though in - some instances prejudicial by mistaking and curtailing the sense - of an author." - -It will be noticed how completely this argument is founded on the -idea that an author may take the materials of another so long as he -sufficiently modifies it by such addition, extraction, or correction -as to give it the character of a new work. It is a good argument in -favour of a plaintiff who has dealt with a non-copyright work and -desires protection, but it would not now be considered a sound answer -to a charge of infringement. Since _Gyles_ v. _Wilcox_[636] it seems -to have been accepted as law that what was called a fair abridgment -would be allowed.[637] In _Dodsley_ v. _Kinnersley_[638] the Court -went so far as to admit as a fair abridgment a magazine article -containing about one-tenth of Dr. Johnson's "Prince of Abyssinia." -Selections were, it appears, taken and reproduced verbatim. The -same doctrine as to abridgments was repeated in _D'Almaine_ v. -_Boosey_:[639] - - "It is a nice question what shall be deemed such a modification - of an original work as shall absorb the merit of the original in - the new composition. No doubt such a modification may be allowed - in some cases, as in that of an abridgment or digest. Such - publications are in their nature original. Their compiler intends - to make of them a new use, not that which the author proposed to - make. Digests are of great use to practical men, though not so, - comparatively speaking, to students. The same may be said of an - abridgment of any study, but it must be a _bona fide_ abridgment, - because if it contains many chapters of the original work or such - as made that work most saleable, the maker of the abridgment - commits a piracy."[640] - -When the view as to plagiarism being excusable on account of its -utility began to alter, and the Courts began to look more to what -was taken and the value of it than to what labour was expended on it -afterwards, the view taken of abridgments began to change too. In -1844 one of Dickens' Christmas stories was abridged evidently much in -the same way as Dr. Johnson's tale in _Dodsley_ v. _Kinnersley_.[641] -Knight Bruce, V. C., held that there was an infringement:[642] - - "The defendant has printed and published a novel, of which - fable, persons, names, and characters of persons, the age, time, - country, and scene are exactly the same, the style of language in - which the story is told is in many instances identical, in all - similar, except where certain alterations by way of extension or - substitution have been made, as to which whether they improve or - do not improve upon the original composition it is not necessary - for me to express any opinion. Now this has been said to be an - abridgment, and as an abridgment to be protected. I am not aware - that one man has the right to abridge the works of another. On - the other hand, I do not mean to say that there may not be an - abridgment which may be lawful, which may be protected; but to - say that one man has the right to abridge and so publish in an - abridged form the work of another without more is going much - beyond my notion of what the law of this country is." - -In 1864 Lord Hatherley, then Sir William Page Wood, said:[643] - - "The Court has gone far enough in the direction of sanctioning - fair abridgments; and it is difficult to acquiesce in the reason - sometimes given that the compiler of an abridgment is a benefactor - to mankind by assisting in the diffusion of knowledge." - -_Translations._--There are two recent decisions in India to the effect -that the translation of an English book into an Indian language is -not an infringement of the author's copyright.[644] If we are to -be guided by the general principles of the law of copyright now -accepted by our Courts, I think these Indian decisions must be held -to be wrong. A translation takes everything in a book but the actual -words; it takes the selection of material and its arrangement, and is -certainly a very material taking of the work and labours of another. -The translator is making a profit from the author's work by using it -in a manner in which the author might have himself used it and made -a similar profit. The only real answer which the translator has is -that he has expended a great deal of skilled labour in putting the -author's book into another form. This might have been a defence fifty -years ago, but I do not think it is a good defence now. In England -there is no direct decision; although there are several _obiter -dicta_ to the effect that a translation is not an infringement. In -_Burnett_ v. _Chetwood_,[645] in 1720, there is a _dictum_ of Lord -Chancellor Macclesfield, in which he expressed his opinion that a -translation might not be within the prohibition of the Act (8 Anne -c. 19), "on account that the translator had bestowed his pains upon -it." In _Millar_ v. _Taylor_,[646] Yates, J., and in _Prince Albert_ -v. _Strange_,[647] Knight Bruce, V. C., suggest that a translation -is not an infringement. In _Wyatt_ v. _Barnard_[648] it was held -that a translation would be protected as a new work, but it does not -follow that it is not an infringement of an old one. I think that -these English _dicta_ are practically useless as authorities, since -it cannot now be maintained that the translator will be permitted to -take the work of an original author merely because he "bestows his -pains upon it." In _Murray_ v. _Bogue_,[649] Kindersley, V. C., said -that if an English book were translated into a foreign language and -then retranslated into English without authority such translation -would be an infringement of the original work. If this is so, it is -difficult to see why the translation into the foreign language is not -also an infringement if done without authority. The translation and -the retranslation appear to be exactly on the same footing, both take -the substance of the book, the plot, the arrangement, the selection of -material; neither takes the author's words. If it is said that one -competes with the original which the other does not, the answer is -that it is no defence to say that an infringement is made for a wholly -different market from that which the original commands.[650] An author -is entitled not only to the uses which he does make of his work, but -also to the uses which he might make of it. - -=Licence.=--A licence in writing[651] granted by the plaintiff to -the defendant is a good defence to an action for infringement. The -licence need not be written or signed by the proprietor himself. It -may be granted by an agent having authority.[652] It would seem that -a licence might be valid without being signed by any one. The onus -of proving a written licence lies upon the defendant in an action. -An assignee of the copyright is not bound by the licence granted by -his assignor, unless at the date of assignment he has notice of the -licence.[653] A licence, unlike an assignment, may be given before -the copyright has come into existence, or even before the work is -composed.[654] A licence from the Dramatic Authors' Society was held -to include the dramas composed by the members of the society after the -date of the licence.[655] - -If an oral licensor were to sue in respect of acts done by the -defendant under his oral licence, the plaintiff's conduct would -probably be considered fraudulent, with the result that he would -be refused an injunction, get nominal damages, and have to pay the -defendant's costs.[656] - -It need hardly be said that when the use for which a book is published -and sold includes a copying of the whole or part of it, such copying -is not an infringement, even although no express consent in writing -is obtained from the author, for instance, in the case of copy-books, -school maps, precedents of conveyancing. This, however, does not -entitle any one who uses the book to make a larger use of it in the -way of multiplying copies than that which must be presumed from the -nature of the publication.[657] - -It has been suggested that a foreigner resident abroad, who had -obtained a copyright in the United Kingdom, could grant an oral -licence, if by the law of copyright in his own country an oral licence -would be valid.[658] I do not think this is sound. - -=Abandonment.=--Copyright may be abandoned by giving a general -licence to print. Probably, however, this could only be done by some -declaration in writing.[659] The Common Law right in an unpublished -manuscript might be abandoned by leaving it for a long time in the -hands of others.[660] Copyright would not be lost or abandoned by the -fact of a book, during the life of the author, being allowed to remain -out of print.[661] - -=Acquiescence and Delay.=--This is no ground of defence, unless in -the view of the Court it would make it a fraud afterwards to insist -on the legal right. It would seem that the defendant must show some -act on the part of the plaintiff inducing the defendant to infringe -or continue an infringement of the copyright.[662] At the best, -the defence is only an equitable one, and will avail no more than -to prevent the plaintiff from getting an injunction or substantial -damages, and as the costs are always in the discretion of the Court, -he might be ordered to pay the defendant's costs. - -=Provision against the Suppression of Books.=--After the death of an -author, if the proprietor of his published work refuses to republish -it, and the book is thereby withheld from the public, the Judicial -Committee of the Privy Council may, on complaint, grant a licence to -the complainant to publish such book on such conditions as they may -think fit.[663] There is no record of any attempt to put in force the -provisions of this section. - - - - -CHAPTER V - -PERFORMING RIGHTS - - -SECTION I.--NATURE OF PERFORMING RIGHT. - -As copyright is the exclusive right of making copies of a book, so -performing right is the exclusive right of representing or performing -in public dramatic or musical works. In a dramatic or musical work, -the two rights--the copyright and the performing right--exist side -by side; but they are quite distinct from one another, and may pass -into different hands. The copyright can only be infringed by copying, -the performing right by representation or performance. It is no -infringement to dramatize and represent on the stage a copyright -novel, since the only exclusive right as to non-dramatic work is the -multiplication of copies;[664] but a drama on which a novel has been -founded may be infringed by another drama taken from the novel.[665] -A writes and publishes a novel. He then dramatizes it, but does not -publish the drama. B represents a drama founded on the novel. Such a -representation is no infringement either of A's drama[666] or of his -novel. It makes no difference even if A has published his drama.[667] -In dramatizing a copyright novel, however, the making of a single -copy of the drama may be an infringement of the copyright in the -novel.[668] It is no infringement of performing right to print and -publish as a book a play which has been publicly performed,[669] but -it may be an infringement of the common law right in the MS.,[670] or -the statutory copyright in the book if already printed and published, -or it may be a breach of implied contract.[671] If a dramatic piece -or musical composition is first published as a book, this does not -take away the performing right. This was decided in _Chappell_ v. -_Boosey_[672] in respect of music, and is equally applicable to -dramatic work. Conversely the representation or performance of a -dramatic piece or musical composition in public does not deprive -the author of his common law right to publish as a book, or of -his copyright when he so publishes.[673] Performing right extends -throughout the British dominions.[674] - - -SECTION II.--PERFORMING RIGHT AT COMMON LAW. - -It is doubtful whether there ever was any performing right at common -law. The only case from which it could be gathered that there was is -_Morris_ v. _Kelly_,[675] where an injunction was granted by Lord -Eldon restraining the performance of a comedy. The play was apparently -in manuscript, but it does not appear whether it had been performed -or not. The ground of the decision is very uncertain. From the fact -that the Lord Chancellor asked for proof that the assignment was in -writing, it might almost appear that protection was given under the -statute of Anne, which would certainly have been unsound. The decision -may also have been on the ground of common law right in unpublished -manuscript, _i. e._ the right to prevent any one but the owner from -interfering with it in any way, or it may have been on the ground of -breach of implied contract. Altogether the decision is unsatisfactory; -the application seems to have been _ex parte_, and the law hardly to -have been considered, so that it is impossible to base any definite -proposition of law on the case. On the other hand Erie, C. J., stated -in the course of the argument in _Marsh_ v. _Conquest_,[676] that -there was no performing right at common law. For his authority, -however, he cites _Murray_ v. _Elliston_,[677] which is hardly -sufficient to support the proposition. In _Murray_ v. _Elliston_ -a tragedy by Lord Byron was printed and published for sale. The -defendants abridged it and represented it on the stage in the abridged -form. It was argued for the defendant that the tragedy having been -printed and published as a book, must depend for protection entirely -on the statute of Anne in accordance with the decision in _Donaldson_ -v. _Beckett_.[678] The statute of Anne gave no performing right, and -therefore there was no protection. The Court gave judgment for the -defendant, but the ground of their judgment is not quite clear. Some -stress seems to be laid on the fact that the tragedy was abridged, and -it is therefore left doubtful whether the judges would have considered -the representation of an unabridged version to be an infringement -of the plaintiff's rights. In either view it is not a decision that -there was no performing right at common law. Another case which may be -relied on for the contention against performing right at common law is -_Coleman_ v. _Wathen_,[679] but on examination it will be seen that -all that case decides is that the statute of Anne gave no performing -right, and that representation on the stage was not an infringement of -copyright. - -It is submitted that the history of the law of performing right -is this: At common law there was no performing right in the -proper sense of the term, but an unpublished manuscript was -protected from performance as from any other invasion of the -author's exclusive right to it. If it was performed on the stage -without being published as a book, there would be a remedy on -breach of implied contract, the public only being admitted for -the purpose of hearing the performance. Once, however, it was -published as a book, all exclusive right of performance was gone. -The statute of Anne gave no performing right, and performing -right proper was first created by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15. This -statute and 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 govern the performing right in -dramatic pieces. The performing right in musical compositions -is governed by these two Acts, as modified by the Copyright -(Musical Compositions) Acts of 1882 and 1888. - - -SECTION III.--WHAT IS A DRAMATIC WORK. - -The subject of dramatic performing right must be-- - - 1. An original composition. - 2. Of a dramatic nature. - -The amount of original composition required is probably the same as in -a literary work claiming the protection of the Copyright Act, 1842, as -a "book." As has been seen the standard is extremely low, no literary -merit or great skill being essential.[680] Adaptations, translations, -and the like, are protected _quoad_ their transformation.[681] - -As to what amount of dramatic element is required is not clear from -the statutes, and not much clearer from the decisions. It is now well -decided that in order to secure a performing right there must be some -dramatic element. That is to say, one cannot compose a non-dramatic -work, and after publishing it in its non-dramatic form, claim the -exclusive right to represent the non-dramatic work on the stage in -dramatic form.[682] But the difficulty is to define what is "dramatic -form." The dramatic works protected by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 are "any -tragedy, comedy, play, opera, farce, or any other dramatic piece or -entertainment." In 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 "dramatic piece" is defined -as including every tragedy, comedy, play, opera, farce, or other -scenic, musical, or dramatic entertainment. Neither definition is -very satisfactory. In _Lee_ v. _Simpson_[683] it was held that an -introduction to a pantomime, being the only written part, and intended -to be followed by "comic business," was a dramatic piece. This case -as reported, however, is of little assistance, as it does not show -what the exact nature of the "introduction" was, and the judgment of -the Court does not contain any definition of a dramatic piece. In -_Russell_ v. _Smith_[684] the question was more carefully considered. -The work in which a performing right was claimed was a song called -"The Ship on Fire." It was founded on the loss of _The Kent_ by fire -in the Bay of Biscay. According to the judgment-- - - "It represents a storm at sea, the burning of the ship, and an - escape by boat to another ship, and so a safe return to land. It - moves terror and pity and sympathy, by presenting danger, and - despair, and joy, and maternal and conjugal affection. A witness - of great experience in publishing music deposed that this was - considered a dramatic song." - -The Court held that it was a "dramatic piece." Lord Denman, C. J., -said: - - "The nature of the production places it rather in the - representative than the narrative class of poetry, according to - Lord Bacon's division of dramatic from epic; and the evidence - states it to be known as dramatic among those who are conversant - with such things. The interpretative clause of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, - sec. 2, declares that 'dramatic piece' within the Act includes - 'tragedy, comedy, play, opera, farce, or any other scenic, - musical, or dramatic entertainment.' These words comprehend any - piece which could be called dramatic in its widest sense, any - piece which on its being presented by any performer to an audience - would produce the emotions which are the purpose of the regular - drama, and which constitute the entertainment of the audience." - -In _Clark_ v. _Bishop_[685] an original song, "Come to Peckham Rye," -was composed and set to an old air. It was sung at music halls with -appropriate character dress, gesture, and expression. The Court were -of opinion that it was a dramatic piece, within the meaning of 5 & 6 -Vict. c. 45. Kelly, C. B., said: - - "The plaintiff, by his powers of singing, acting, and - characterisation, had made this song a thing of value, not as - a song merely, but as acted by him in character, and so as a - dramatic piece." - -In _Wall_ v. _Taylor_[686] it was suggested that by reason of the -interpretation clause in 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, sec. 2, every musical -entertainment whatsoever was a "dramatic piece," but Brett, M. R., -refused to accept this view. In _Roberts_ v. _Bignell_,[687] a very -imperfectly reported case, a divisional court (Day and Wills, JJ.) -held that a music hall song, "Oh, Jenny Dear!" the exact nature of -which is not apparent, was a "dramatic piece." The leading case on -this subject is now _Fuller_ v. _Blackpool Winter Gardens_,[688] and -in this the doctrine which seemed to have been growing up that every -literary production with the least dramatic flavour was a dramatic -piece received a check. The subject of this action was a popular music -hall song called "Daisy Bell." The song was sung in character costume, -and the inference to be drawn from the song itself and from the -evidence was that it was a composition intended for the stage either -of the theatre or of music halls. The Court of Appeal, sustaining the -judgment of Kennedy, J., held that the song was not a dramatic piece. -Lord Esher, M. R., said: - - "The fact that it is sung in costume does not make it a dramatic - piece. If the dress of the singer could have that operation, - the singer and not the author of the song would be the person - who caused it to be a dramatic piece. The same may be said of - the manner in which the singer treats the song. The question - must be what was the character of the composition when it was - first written and published. I can quite understand that it is - possible that a thing to be performed by one person only may be a - dramatic piece. But whether the composition is to be sung by one - or more persons, if a song is sung, and only a song, there is no - performance of a dramatic piece." - -A. L. Smith, L. J., after reviewing the previous cases, says: - - "It is not necessary to determine whether each of these cases was - rightly decided or whether the reasons given in each for holding - the song to be a dramatic piece are satisfactory. Every case must - depend upon its own attendant circumstances. In each case it is - a question of fact. I think that to constitute a song a dramatic - piece it must be such a song that for its proper representation, - acting, and possibly scenery, formed a necessary ingredient, - and that if neither of these be a requisite to the efficient - representation of the song it is not a dramatic piece. It is an - entire misnomer to call a mere common, ordinary, music-hall song, - which required neither acting nor scenery for its production, a - dramatic piece, for it is in truth nothing of the kind." - -The result then seems to be that "dramatic" must not be used in -the widest sense of the term as suggested by Lord Denman, C. J., in -_Russell_ v. _Smith_,[689] and that the test is not that of dramatic -or epic in the sense in which Lord Bacon applies the words to poetry. -There must be more than the dramatic flavour, there must be the -dramatic form; that is to say, the work must be so constructed as -to be obviously intended for reproduction by means of acting with -scenic effect. This test will apply equally to non-musical as to -musical works. A case in point is that of the novel in _Toole_ v. -_Young_.[690] The facts as stated in the judgment are: - - "that Mr. Hollingshead wrote a story which he published in a work - called _Good Words_, and having in his mind at the time he wrote - and published it the intention of afterwards dramatizing the - story, he composed it very much of a dramatic character." - -Yet it was held that it was no infringement of the author's right to -put this novel into dramatic form and represent it on the stage. If -the novel could have been considered a dramatic piece on account of -its "dramatic character," it ought to have been protected against the -performance of an adaptation. Mr. Scrutton in his book on copyright -considers that "the dramatic character consists in the representative -as opposed to the narrative element:" but this seems rather a return -to the older theory in _Russell_ v. _Smith_[691] and contrary to -_Fuller_ v. _Blackpool Winter Gardens_.[692] For instance, a poem, -song, or piece for recitation may be representative in that it depicts -action and dialogue rather than narrates events: this according to -_Russell_ v. _Smith_[693] would constitute it a "dramatic piece," but -according to _Fuller_ v. _Blackpool Winter Gardens_[694] we must find -not only the "representative element" but an element which requires -acting in order to represent it adequately.[695] - - -SECTION IV.--WHAT DRAMATIC WORKS ARE PROTECTED: DURATION OF PROTECTION. - -It has been suggested by some writers that there is no statutory -protection of performing rights until first representation in -public.[696] It has also been suggested that the duration of -performing right is in every case for the period laid down by 5 & 6 -Vict. c. 45, _i. e._ forty-two years from first performance or the -author's life plus seven years. It is difficult to concur in these -views, which seem to imply that 5 & 6 Vict. has taken away from the -dramatic author certain rights given to him by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15. - -The law appears to stand thus. Before the statute of 3 and 4 Will. -IV. c. 15 there was no statutory performing right. Whether there was -a common law performing right _quaere_.[697] By the Act of 3 & 4 Will. -IV. c. 15 the author of a dramatic piece not printed and published in -book form is given a perpetual performing right. This presumably dates -from the composition of the dramatic piece. If the dramatic piece is -printed and published as a book, the protection is then limited to -twenty-eight years from publication or for the life of the author, -whichever be the longer period. In neither case is the performing -right dependent for its existence on public performance.[698] Then -comes the Act of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, which enacts in section 20-- - - "that the provisions of the said Act of His late Majesty (3 - & 4 Will. IV. c. 15) and of this Act shall apply to musical - compositions, and that the sole liberty of representing or - performing or causing or permitting to be represented or performed - any dramatic piece or musical composition shall endure and be the - property of the author thereof and his assigns for the term in - this Act provided for the duration of copyright in books; and the - provisions hereinbefore enacted in respect of the property of such - copyright and of registering the same shall apply to the liberty - of representing or performing any dramatic piece or musical - composition as if the same were herein expressly re-enacted - and applied thereto save and except that the first public - representation or performance of any dramatic piece or musical - composition shall be deemed equivalent in the construction of this - Act to the first publication of any book." - -As regards dramatic pieces which have been publicly performed it -is clear that the Act of Victoria gives them protection from that -date for forty-two years, or for the life of the author and seven -years.[699] But does 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 take away the protection -given by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 to such dramatic pieces as do not -come within the provisions of the later statute, _i. e._ unperformed -dramatic pieces? It is submitted that it does not, and this appears -to be the view of Hawkins, J., in _Reichardt_ v. _Sapte_,[700] the -only decision on the point. In that case A wrote a dramatic piece, B -subsequently wrote one very similar: B's drama was first performed, -and a few days afterwards A's drama was performed. In an action by -B against A for infringement of performing right, Hawkins, J., held -that A had acquired his performing right under 3 & 4 Will. IV. when he -wrote his drama. He says: - - "In none of the enactments in 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 will be - found anything which prejudicially affects the right of sole - representation conferred by the statute of 3 & 4 Will IV. c. 15. - The first production of a dramatic piece mentioned in section 20 - of the statute of Victoria confers no priority upon the first - producer, nor does it confer a title to the sole liberty of - representation. That is conferred by the statute 3 & 4 Will. IV. - c. 15 upon the author or his assignee: it[701] only fixes the - first production as the point from which (if entitled to it) - the endurance of the sole liberty of representation is to be - calculated." - -What Hawkins, J., decided was that there is a vested statutory interest -in a dramatic piece immediately it is composed, and although it is not -quite clear from his judgment, it seems necessarily to follow that the -whole rights and remedies given by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 still attach -immediately on composition, and that there is nothing in 5 & 6 Vict. -to divest the author of that right. When a dramatic work is performed, -no doubt the protection to performing right is restricted as well as -extended to the period given by 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, _i. e._ forty-two -years from the date of first performance, or life and seven years: but -as regards unperformed works, it is submitted that the performing right -is given by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 on composition, and is perpetual if -the work be not printed and published as a book within the British -dominions, or if it be printed and published as a book, then for -forty-two years from the date of publication as a book, or for the -author's life and seven years. - -Extremely difficult questions may arise as regards performing rights -when a dramatic or musical work has been published as a book or -publicly performed outside the British dominions before the first -publication or the first public performance within the British -dominions. - -Section 19 of 7 & 8 Vict. c. 12, provides: - - "That neither the author of any book, nor the author or - composer of any Dramatic Piece or Musical Composition ... which - shall, after the passing of this Act, be first published out - of Her Majesty's Dominions, shall have any copyright therein - respectively, or any exclusive right to the public representation - or performance thereof, otherwise than such, if any, as he may - become entitled to under this Act."[702] - -The whole difficulty lies in the meaning of the words "first -published" as applied to the performing right. In _Boucicault_ v. -_Delafield_,[703] and _Boucicault_ v. _Chatterton_,[704] it was held -that when an unpublished play was first performed outside the British -dominions the performing right in this country was extinguished. "First -published" was held to include the "first performance" of a drama. -This, however, only provides for one possible contingency. As the -literary exchange with America, with which we have no international -convention, is becoming larger every year, it may be useful to consider -some of the other contingencies which may arise, and the difficulties -of which are not yet judicially solved. The cases suggested are in -connexion with the United States, but apply equally to any foreign -country, except in so far as rights may be acquired under International -Convention. - -_Dramatic or Musical Work unpublished, first performed in -America._--This has been decided as above. The performing right in -this country is lost. - -_Dramatic or Musical Work first published in America, subsequently -first performed within the British Dominions._--This problem is -not solved by the above cases. The alternative views are that -"publication" in the section means: (i) a putting before the public in -any form, whether by representation or in print, or (ii) as regards -copyright, a publication in print, as regards performing right, a -publication by representation. I am inclined to think that the second -alternative is the correct one, and that the performing right in this -country is not lost. The contrary, however, seems to have been assumed -in _Boucicault_ v. _Chatterton_,[705] both by the bench and bar. - -_Dramatic or Musical Work first published in the British Dominions, -subsequently first performed in America._--This problem depends on -the same two alternatives as the last. I therefore think that the -performing right here would be lost, even although there was first -publication as a book within the British dominions. - -_Dramatic or Musical Work first performed in America, subsequently -first published in the British Dominions._--The performing right in -this country would be lost, but probably not the copyright. - -_Dramatic or Musical Work first performed in the British Dominions, -subsequently first published in America._--The performing right in -this country would be secured, but the copyright lost. - - -SECTION V.--WHAT IS A MUSICAL COMPOSITION. - -The necessary originality in a musical composition consists either -in a new air or melody, or in the new arrangement and adaptation of -an old air. Thus an arrangement of an opera for the pianoforte is -an original work separate and distinct from the opera itself.[706] -So the adaptation of new words and accompaniment to an old air is a -musical composition entitled to protection.[707] It must always be -remembered, however, that a new arrangement or adaptation will only be -protected _quoad_ its novelty. In so far as the new work is taken from -a non-copyright work, an unauthorised taking of that part is not an -infringement of the new work. - - -SECTION VI.--WHAT MUSICAL WORKS ARE PROTECTED: DURATION OF PROTECTION. - -As in the case of dramatic works, so in the case of musical -compositions it is submitted that the statutory protection dates from -composition, not from first public performance. Musical compositions -are protected under the same provisions which protect dramatic works. -The protection is therefore identical, except as to the two amending -statutes noticed below which do not apply to dramatic works. It was -contended in one case that the extension of 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 to -musical compositions was only applicable to musical compositions of a -dramatic nature.[708] This, however, is not the case, and all musical -compositions are protected.[709] - -By the Copyright (Musical Compositions) Act, 1882, the performing -right in musical compositions which have been published in "book" -form is conditional[710] on a notice reserving the performing right, -and printed on every published copy. If the copyright and performing -right are in different hands the owner of the performing right must -give notice in writing to the owner of the copyright, requiring him to -print such notice, and if the latter after due notice fail to do so, -he shall forfeit to the owner of the performing right the sum of L20. - -Even if the musical composition is also a dramatic piece or part -thereof, it comes within this requirement as to notice of reservation -on published copies.[711] - -Once a musical composition has been printed and published without -notice of reservation, it will probably be impossible to obtain any -protection for the performing right afterwards by publishing copies -with reservation.[712] - -A limited reservation is constantly made, and is probably effectual, -_e. g._ reserving the right to sing in music halls, but permitting -public performances elsewhere without fee or licence.[713] - - -SECTION VII.--REGISTRATION OF PERFORMING RIGHTS. - -Section 20 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 enacts that "the provisions -hereinbefore enacted" in respect of registering the copyright in books -shall apply to the liberty of representing or performing any dramatic -piece or musical composition; provided that in the case of a dramatic -piece or musical composition in manuscript it shall be sufficient to -register-- - - 1. The title. - 2. The name and place of abode of author or composer. - 3. The name and place of abode of the proprietor. - 4. The time and place of first representation. - -In the case, therefore, of a dramatic piece or musical composition -which has been published as a book, the proper registration in respect -of both copyright and performing right would seem to be that provided -by section II, viz.: - - 1. The title. - 2. The time of first publication. - 3. The name and place of abode of the publisher.[714] - 4. The name and place of abode of the proprietor.[715] - -This is probably correct, although it may not strictly be in -accordance with the proviso in section 20, viz.: "save and except -that the first public representation or performance of any dramatic -piece or musical composition shall be deemed equivalent in the -construction of this Act to the first publication of any book." If, -however, the provision as to registration in section 11 were strictly -construed in accordance with this proviso, the result is that the -proper registration would be: - - 1. The title. - 2. The time of first representation. - 3. The name and place of abode of the person who first represented it. - 4. The name and place of abode of the proprietor. - -It is obviously absurd that this should be the form of registration -when the dramatic piece or musical composition has been printed and -published, and that the form in section 20 should be the form of -registration when it is in manuscript. The distinction between the two -forms is meaningless. - -Section 24 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, which enacts that no action for -infringement of copyright shall be brought unless the book is -registered, provides "that nothing herein contained shall prejudice -the remedies which the proprietor of the sole liberty of representing -any dramatic piece shall have by virtue of the Act 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. -15, or of this Act, although no entry shall be made in the book of -registry aforesaid." - -The provisions as to registration of dramatic pieces are therefore -merely permissive and are in no way a condition precedent either -to the performing right itself or to the right of action upon -infringement;[716] but registration is _prima facie_ proof of the -right of representation subject to rebuttal by other evidence.[717] - -All the provisions as to the keeping of the registry book,[718] making -false entries therein,[719] and motion to expunge,[720] apply equally -to registration of a dramatic piece for the purpose of protecting -performing right as to registration of a book for the purpose of -protecting copyright.[721] - -=Musical Compositions.=--The requisite registration is the same as for -performing rights in dramatic works; but _quaere_ whether in the case -of performing right in a musical composition it is not a condition -precedent to action. This doubt is raised by section 24, which -provides that the registration of a book is a condition precedent to -an action for infringement of copyright, and it specially excepts "the -remedies which the proprietor of the sole liberty of representing -any dramatic piece shall have" from the operation of the section. It -is curious that "musical compositions" are omitted from this saving -clause, whereas in nearly every other part of the Act "dramatic piece -and musical compositions" are dealt with together. The arguments -against registration being a condition precedent are, (1) the first -part of section 24 relates only to copyright which does not include -performing right; (2) section 20 does not extend the provisions of -section 24 to performing right, since it only applies the provisions -"_before_ enacted." There is also a suggestion that "dramatic piece" -in the saving clause of section 24 includes "musical composition," -since the definition of "dramatic piece" in section 2 includes -"musical or dramatic entertainment." There is no authority directly -in point. In _Russell_ v. _Smith_[722] the song called "The Ship on -Fire" was protected without registration, but then it was held to be -a "dramatic piece" and something more than a musical composition. In -_Clark_ v. _Bishop_[723] the song protected was also held to be a -"dramatic piece." In _Lacy_ v. _Rhys_,[724] where it was held that -in the case of a dramatic piece there was clearly no obligation to -register, Crompton, J., said that if it had not been for the proviso -in section 24, there would have been a doubt whether registration were -not necessary.[725] - -In registering an unpublished arrangement of dance music taken from an -opera, the arranger, not the composer of the original opera, must be -entered as composer.[726] - - -SECTION VIII.--ASSIGNMENT OF PERFORMING RIGHTS. - -The performing right in dramatic pieces and musical compositions can -only be transferred by a written assignment[727] or by entry on the -register.[728] See decisions as to assignment of copyright;[729] but -note that as regards performing right the assignment, even if before -publication or performance, must be in writing.[730] The performing -right will not pass by a mere conveyance of the copyright in a -dramatic or musical work[731] unless an entry shall be made of such -assignment in the register expressing the intention of the parties -that such right should pass.[732] As in the case of copyright, there -is no express enactment that assignment must be in writing; but it is -inferred from the fact that a licence which is a smaller right cannot -be given except by writing.[733] The assignment does not require -to be by deed,[734] and if by written document it is valid without -registration.[735] Section 22 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 appears at first -sight to make registration necessary in every assignment of performing -right, at least if the copyright is assigned with it; but this is not -so. If in the written assignment there is a specific conveyance of the -performing right,[736] or if general words are used such as "all other -the estate, right, title, and interest," showing that something else -than the copyright was intended to be conveyed, the performing right -will pass without registration.[737] Cotton, L. J., in considering this -section, says: - - "I incline to think that this enactment was not meant to control - the operation of deeds of assignment, but only to regulate the - effect of entries in the registry book."[738] - -In fact it was passed on account of _Cumberland_ v. _Planche_,[739] -which decided that the assignee of the copyright took the performing -right as well. - -If the view is right that the statutory performing right vests -immediately on production,[740] there can be no question of assignment -of common law rights.[741] - -Performing rights can probably be partially assigned so as to make a -grantee of provincial rights not only a licensee but an assignee, with -full power to sue alone and re-assign.[742] - - -SECTION IX.--INFRINGEMENT OF DRAMATIC PERFORMING RIGHTS. - -By 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15, section 1, the author or his assignee has -"the sole liberty of representing, or causing to be represented, at -any place or places of dramatic entertainment whatsoever" in the -British dominions. - -=Public Performance.=--It is no infringement of performing right in a -dramatic work to represent it otherwise than in a place of dramatic -entertainment; but it has been held that any place where a dramatic -work is publicly performed is for the time being a place of dramatic -entertainment. In _Lee_ v. _Simpson_,[743] Wilde, C. J., says: - - "The legislature clearly meant places where dramatic - entertainments are represented to which the public are admitted." - -In _Russell_ v. _Smith_[744] the Court decided that a certain song, -"The Ship on Fire," was a dramatic piece. Denman, C. J., said: - - "It follows that as Crosby Hall was used for the public - representation for profit of a dramatic piece, it became a place - of dramatic entertainment for the time, within the statutes - now in question. The use for the time in question and not for - a former time is the essential fact. As a regular theatre may - be a lecture-room, dining-room, ball-room, and concert-room on - successive days, so a room used ordinarily for either of these - purposes would become for the time being a theatre if used for - the representation of a regular stage play. In this sense, as - "The Ship on Fire" was a dramatic piece, in our view Crosby Hall, - when used for the public representation and performance of it for - profit, became a place of dramatic entertainment. In thus deciding - we do not declare that the defendant's performances at Crosby Hall - were unlawful without a theatrical licence within Stat. 6 & 7 - Vict. c. 68."[745] - -In the judgment of Brett, M. R., in _Wall_ v. _Taylor_[746] there -is a suggestion that although a single item in a programme might -be dramatic, that would not be sufficient to render the whole -entertainment dramatic or to make the place a place of dramatic -performance. In _Duck_ v. _Bates_[747] the defendant represented a -dramatic piece without the author's consent. The representation took -place in a room of Guy's Hospital, and was provided entirely for the -amusement of the nurses and attendants of the hospital. The medical -officers of the hospital, the students and some of their friends were -present. A reporter to a theatrical newspaper was also present by -invitation. It was held by Brett, M. R., and Bowen, L. J. (Fry, L. J., -dissenting), that the room was not a place of dramatic entertainment. -Neither profit[748] nor habitual use were essential elements, but -there must be a representation to which a portion of the public is -admitted. Brett, M. R., said: - - "Did the legislature intend to forbid a representation without the - author's consent by children in a nursery before their parents, or - by grown-up persons in a drawing-room? It is clear that something - more than that must have been intended; and why should not a - representation of that kind be called a dramatic entertainment? - Because it is obviously domestic and private. Suppose that the - servants of the household are invited to witness the performance; - nevertheless it is a domestic entertainment. As I have already - intimated, the author wants protection for the pecuniary value - of his drama, and a representation in a private room is of no - pecuniary value. In order to entitle the author to penalties there - must be a representation which will injure the author's right to - money; such, for instance, as a representation which, although - it is not for profit, would attract persons who are willing to - pay money, and would induce them not to go and see a performance - licensed by the author. Suppose that a representation in the - presence of friends takes place for the amusement of friends and - of the members of the household in an unfurnished house hired for - the occasion: that is not an infringement of the statute: the - representation must be other than domestic or private. There must - be present a sufficient part of the public who would go also to a - performance licensed by the author as a commercial transaction; - otherwise the place where the drama is represented will not be - a 'place of dramatic entertainment' within the meaning of the - statute. Suppose that a drama is represented in a county town, - and that all persons of a certain class throughout the county - are free to come: suppose that a member for a parliamentary - constituency (I do not mean shortly before or during an election) - organises dramatic entertainments to which the inhabitants are - admitted without paying: suppose that an amateur company choose - to act some drama for a charitable object, with admission upon - payment or by tickets issued generally: in each of these instances - an infringement of the statute has been committed.... I wish to - say, by way of warning, that those who go beyond the facts of the - present case may incur the penalties of the statute." - -This case is most instructive as being quite on the border line -between a private and public representation. Performing right in -a drama may be infringed by a representation without scenery and -appropriate dresses. - - "We should take away a part of the protection conferred on authors - if we hold that there could be no public representation without - these accompaniments."[749] - -=Substantial Part.=--As in literary copyright the part taken must -be material and substantial in order to infringe performing right. -In _Chatterton_ v. _Cave_,[750] Lord Chief Justice Coleridge at the -trial found as a fact "that two scenes or points of the drama of the -defendant had been taken directly from the drama of the plaintiff;" -there was no further copying. He thereupon gave judgment for the -defendant. On a rule for a new trial, Lord Coleridge, sitting in the -Court of Common Pleas, stated orally that what he meant to convey -by his finding was, "that looking to the general character of the -plaintiff's and defendant's dramas, the extent to which the one was -taken from the other was so slight, and the effect upon the total -composition was so small, that there was no substantial and material -taking of any one portion of the defendant's drama from any portion -of the plaintiff's." On this explanation the rule was discharged, and -the judgment subsequently affirmed by the Court of Appeal and the -House of Lords. Lord Hatherley said that the principle _de minimis non -curat lex_ applied to a supposed wrong in taking a part of dramatic -works as well as in reproducing a part of a book. He could not read -the word "part" in the Dramatic Copyright Act as "particle," so that -the crowing of the cock in "Hamlet," or the introduction of a line -in the dialogue might be held to be an invasion. In _Planche_ v. -_Braham_,[751] Tindal, C. J., directed the jury that if either one -song, or more than one song be taken from a piece and be performed on -the stage or any place of theatrical entertainment, that would be a -"representing" within the Act of Parliament. The jury, having found -that the defendant had represented "a part of the plaintiff's opera," -a rule for a new trial was refused.[752] In _Beere_ v. _Ellis_,[753] -two plays purported to be founded on the same novel. The defendant's -play contained some of the dialogue and several dramatic incidents and -situations taken directly from the plaintiff's play. Baron Pollock -held that a small piece of dialogue would not alone amount to an -infringement, but the defendant had taken two dramatic incidents on -which the plot of the play depended. He had therefore taken a material -part, and although he had done a considerable quantity of work for -himself, he had "extracted the plums" from the plaintiff's work, and -this he was not entitled to do. An indirect taking is, as in literary -copyright, an infringement, _e. g._ to copy and perform passages from -a play by dramatizing a novel founded on that play.[754] It is no -infringement to produce a play almost identically similar to that of -another author, if this is the result of coincidence and not of any -piracy direct or indirect.[755] As to the taking of a plan or idea, -see the chapter on infringement of literary copyright.[756] There must -be more than the taking of a general idea or scheme. Lord Blackburn, -in _Chatterton_ v. _Cave_,[757] said: - - "An idea may be taken from a drama and used in forming another - without the representation of the second being a representation of - any part of the first. For example, I have no doubt that Sheridan - in composing 'The Critic' took the idea from 'The Rehearsal,' but - I think it would be an abuse of language to say that those who - represent 'The Critic' represent 'The Rehearsal,' or any part - thereof, and if it were left to me to find the fact, I should - without hesitation find that they did not. On the other hand, in - composing 'The Trip to Scarborough,' Sheridan took so much from - 'The Relapse,' that if it were left to me to find the fact, I - should find that those who represent 'The Trip to Scarborough' do - represent parts of 'The Relapse.'" - -=Causing to be Represented.=--The "penalty" prescribed by the Act of 3 -& 4 Will. IV. c. 15 is recoverable from those who "represent or cause -to be represented" an unauthorised work. Section 20 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. -45 provides "that the sole liberty of representing, or performing, or -causing or permitting to be represented or performed, any dramatic -piece or musical composition, shall endure," &c. Notice that this -section uses the word "permitting," whereas 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 -only uses "represent or cause to be represented." The later statute, -however, does not purport to extend the nature of performing right, -and therefore the word "permitting," if it have any meaning at all, -can only be explanatory of the words "cause to be represented" in the -earlier statute. When then does a person "cause a dramatic piece to be -represented"? Shortly, the answer probably is, that if he does not -actually take part as an actor, the defendant must be shown to have -had some initiation in or control over the performance. In _Parsons_ -v. _Chapman_,[758] an acting manager, who paid the performers' -salaries, and was entitled to dismiss them, was held to have caused a -dramatic piece to be represented within the meaning of 10 Geo. III. -c. 28, sec. 1. In _Russell_ v. _Briant_,[759] the defendant was the -landlord of "The Horns" Tavern, at Kennington. His premises included -a large assembly room which was hired for evening entertainments. The -defendant furnished the platform and the lights, and allowed bills to -be put up in the tavern, and tickets of admission to be advertised to -be sold at the bar. At one entertainment a song, "The Ship on Fire," -which in _Russell_ v. _Smith_[760] was held to be a copyright dramatic -piece, was sung. It was held that the defendant had not represented or -caused to be represented the dramatic piece in question. Wilde, C. J., -said that no one could be considered as an offender unless by himself -or his agent he actually took part in the representation. In _Lyon_ -v. _Knowles_[761] the defendant let his theatre. He provided and paid -for the scenery, lights, printing, advertising, band, doorkeepers, -scene-shifters, and supernumeraries. His servants collected the money -at the door, and he retained half the gross profits to recoup himself. -The lessee brought his own company, and represented pieces of his own -choice, the defendant having no control over any person employed in -the representation. It was held that the defendant had not caused the -piece to be represented within the meaning of the Acts. In _Marsh_ v. -_Conquest_[762] the defendant was the proprietor of a theatre, and -his son, the acting manager, hired it for a "benefit." The Court held -that the defendant came within the statute. Erle, C. J., delivered the -judgment of the Court: - - "It appears that the defendant is the proprietor of the Grecian - Theatre, and the employer of the dramatic corps attached thereto; - that his son, the stage manager, hired for his benefit-night the - theatre, together with the company of actors, and servants, and - lights, for the sum of L30; and that the son, in the defendant's - theatre, and with the aid of his actors and actresses, musicians, - servants, lights, and other paraphernalia, represented the - dramatic piece in question, in violation of the plaintiff's - sole and exclusive right of representing or causing it to be - represented. I think the defendant is responsible for that - representation. He was the proprietor of the theatre, and had - entire control over the establishment and all belonging to it, and - what was done by his son was done with his permission." - -In _Monaghan_ v. _Taylor_[763] the defendant was the proprietor of a -music hall, and paid a singer to perform, leaving him his own choice -of songs. The singer sang a copyright song. The Court held that the -defendant came within the statute. This decision would not now apply -to musical performing right, since, by the Musical Copyright Act of -1888, a proprietor is not liable unless he permits the performance -knowing it to be an infringement. It is still applicable to dramatic -performing rights. Suppose, for instance, the proprietor of a variety -theatre hired the services of a troop of players, telling them to -fill up twenty minutes on the programme with any dramatic scene they -pleased. If they infringed a dramatic copyright, the proprietor would -be liable. - -It seems to be doubtful whether if B, acting entirely as the agent of -A, causes C and others to perform a dramatic piece, he can be held -liable if he took no part in the representation. In _Parsons_ v. -_Chapman_[764] Lord Tenterden, C. J., directed the jury that it was -sufficient if the defendant caused the piece to be performed; and that -it made no difference that he did so as an agent for others. This -was a decision under 10 Geo. II. c. 28, and the principle should be -the same under 3 & 4 Will. IV., and 5 & 6 Vict; but in _French_ v. -_Day_[765] Kennedy, J., took a different view. One of the defendants -was the manager of a theatre. He received instructions for the -production of the piece in question from the proprietor, and he could -not engage or dismiss artistes; he was in every respect bound to -conform to his employer's orders. Kennedy, J., said: - - "The whole thing was carried on by the proprietor, who merely - used the manager as his mouthpiece. I think I ought not to hold - that a person in his position 'represented,' or 'caused to be - represented,' the piece." - -=Knowledge.=--In an action for infringement of dramatic performing -right it is unnecessary to prove that the defendant knew the -performance was an infringement.[766] - -=Innocent Agents.=--All the actors who take part in an unlawful -performance are within the section as "representing," and are liable -to penalties.[767] - -=Licence.=--It is an infringement of performing right to -perform "without the consent in writing of the author or other -proprietor."[768] See decisions on licence as to copyright in -books.[769] The licence must be in writing,[770] but it does not -require to be written by the proprietor or signed by him or any one -else.[771] The secretary of a dramatic author's society may, if he has -authority, grant a good licence on behalf of the authors.[772] A part -owner cannot grant a licence without the consent of the other part -owners.[773] - - -SECTION X.--INFRINGEMENT OF MUSICAL PERFORMING RIGHTS. - -=Substantial Part.=--The rule that the taking of a part but not of a -particle in infringement applies equally to musical compositions and -to the performing rights therein. In _D'Almaine_ v. _Boosey_[774] the -taking of airs from an opera and arranging them as quadrilles and -waltzes was held to be an infringement of the copyright in the opera. -Lord Lyndhurst said: - - "Substantially the piracy is when the appropriated music, though - adapted to a different purpose from that of the original, may - still be recognised by the ear." - -This test, however, will hardly apply to the piracy of an adaptation -where the air or melody is a non-copyright one. A comparison of the -actual notes and treatment of the phrases would have to be made. - -=Public Performance.=--It has been contended that the protection -afforded by 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 to musical compositions is only an -exclusive right of performance in places of dramatic entertainment. -That is the protection given to dramatic pieces, and it was said -that 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45, in applying 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15 to musical -compositions did not give them a wider protection than dramatic pieces -had. In _Wall_ v. _Taylor_[775] the Court held that this view was -wrong. Bowen, L. J., said: - - "I think the answer is this, that what is called in the argument a - 'condition' of recovering a penalty in sec. 2 of 3 & 4 Will. IV. - c. 15 is nothing of the kind, but part of the definition of the - offence upon which the penalty is to be incurred.... The right - granted is the privilege of representing at places of dramatic - entertainment.... Now sec. 20 of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 creates a - new right of property as to a musical composition, and gives - the author and his assigns the sole liberty of representing or - performing it. That is the right given, and sec. 21 says that - the person who shall have that right 'shall have and enjoy the - remedies given and provided' in the Act of 3 & 4 Will. IV. c. 15. - Why read into that word 'remedies' that the second section of that - Act is only to be put in force not where there is an infringement - of that right, but where there has been a representation or - performance at a place of dramatic entertainment." - -The view of Cotton, L. J., in the same case was that the remedies of 3 -& 4 Will. IV. c. 15 were not applicable unless the musical composition -was performed in a place of dramatic entertainment; but that in every -case of public performance there was a remedy under 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 -for damages and injunction. Since the Musical Copyright Act of 1888 -the distinction between these opinions has become immaterial, for in -every case in which the performance is actionable at all the Court may -assess the damages as it thinks proper. - -=Causing to be Represented.=--The offence is representing or "causing -to be represented." As to what the latter includes see page 139, on -performing right in dramatic pieces. The liability for "causing to -be represented" differs from that in the case of dramatic pieces -in that since the Copyright (Musical Compositions) Act, 1888, "the -proprietor, tenant, or occupier of any place of dramatic entertainment -or other place at which any unauthorised representation or performance -of any musical composition shall take place ... shall not by reason -of such representation or performance be liable to any penalty or -damages in respect thereof, unless he shall wilfully cause or permit -such unauthorised representation or performance, knowing it to be -unauthorised."[776] In respect of those who are not proprietors, -tenants, or occupiers the liability is the same as in the infringement -of dramatic performing right. - - -SECTION XI.--REMEDIES FOR INFRINGEMENT OF DRAMATIC PERFORMING RIGHTS. - -An action for-- - - 1. Penalty[777] of 40s. for each performance, or the defendant's - profits, or the actual damage sustained, whichever - be the greater. - 2. Injunction.[778] - 3. A full and reasonable indemnity as to costs.[779] - -Action must be brought within twelve calendar months of the -offence.[780] - - -SECTION XII.--REMEDIES FOR INFRINGEMENT OF MUSICAL PERFORMING RIGHTS. - -An action for-- - - 1. Damages.[781] - 2. Injunction.[782] - 3. Costs in the discretion of the Court.[783] - -Action must be brought within twelve calendar months of the -offence.[784] - - - - -CHAPTER VI - -COPYRIGHT IN ENGRAVINGS - - -SECTION I.--WHAT WORKS ARE PROTECTED. - -The following works are protected under the Engraving Acts: - - 1. Every original engraving or print:[785] - 2. [Made within the British dominions:][786] - 3. First published within the British dominions:[787] - 4. Which bears the date of first publication and the - proprietor's name thereon:[788] - 5. And is innocent.[789] - -The protection endures for twenty-eight years from publication.[790] - -The protection is limited to the United Kingdom.[791] - -=What is an Original Engraving.=--By 8 Geo. II. c. 13 (1734) copyright -is given to "every person who shall invent and design, engrave, etch, -or work in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro, or from his own works and -invention shall cause to be designed and engraved, etched, or worked -in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro any historical or other print or -prints." - -In _Blackwell_ v. _Harper_[792] (1740) it was decided that the above -Act was not limited to works of invention such as an historical group, -but extended to the "designing or engraving anything that is already -in nature." - -In _Jefferys_ v. _Baldwin_[793] (1753) it was held that prints of -herring fishing-boats were not within the protection of the Act. - -By 7 Geo. III. c. 38 (1766), which was passed in consequence probably -of the doubt thrown upon the earlier Act by the above and other -decisions, the copyright in engravings is given to "all and every -person or persons who shall invent or design, engrave, etch, or work -in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro, or from his own work, design, or -invention shall cause or procure to be designed, engraved, etched, or -worked in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro any historical print or prints, -or any print or prints of any portrait, conversation, landscape, -or architecture, map, chart, or plan, or any other print or prints -whatsoever," and "to all and every person who shall engrave, etch, -or work in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro, or cause to be engraved, -etched, or worked any print taken from any picture, drawing, model, or -sculpture either ancient or modern." - -Notwithstanding this widely worded protection, doubts arose as to -whether lithographs and certain new processes of reproducing prints -came within the Acts, and in consequence a clause was inserted in -the Copyright Act of 1852[794] whereby it was declared that the -provisions of the Engraving Acts were intended to include prints taken -by lithography or any other mechanical process by which prints or -impressions of drawings or designs are capable of being multiplied -indefinitely. - -Prints of every description, therefore, are protected under the -Engraving Acts, and it is immaterial whether the design produced is: - - 1. The imaginative invention of the maker, - 2. Taken from some object in nature, or - 3. Taken from some other work of art, such as a picture - or model. - -_Originality._--The only originality required is an originality in -execution, _i. e._ the work must not be taken from some other print and -reproduce from that other print those characteristics of execution -wherein the peculiar merit of the engraver's art lies. - - "The engraver produces his effects by the management of light - and shade, or as the term of his art expresses it, the _chiaro - oscuro_. The due degrees of light and shade are produced by - different lines and dots; he who is the engraver must decide on - the choice of the different lines or dots for himself, and on - his choice depends the success of his print. If he copies from - another engraving he may see how the person who engraved that has - produced the desired effect, and so without skill or attention - become a successful rival."[795] - -_Map, Chart, or Plan._--It will be remembered that maps, charts, and -plans are included under the definition of books in the Copyright Act, -1842,[796] and receive protection as such. Doubt has consequently -been raised as to whether a map must comply with both the Engraving -Acts and the Literary Act in order to obtain protection, or whether -it will be sufficient to comply with the requirements of one only, -and if so, which. The decided cases are unsatisfactory. In _Stannard_ -v. _Lee_[797] protection was claimed for a "Panoramic Bird's-eye view -of France and Prussia," with the railway and strategic positions -illustrating the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. This was not registered -as a book under the Copyright Act, 1842, and the objection was held to -be fatal. The judges in the Court of Appeal seemed to be of opinion -that the Act of 1842 had taken maps, charts, and plans out of the -protection of the Engraving Acts and placed them under the protection -of the Literary Act, consequently that the requirements of the latter -and not of the Engraving Acts must be observed. James, L. J., said: - - "It was reasonable and proper to take a map out of the class of - artistic copyrights and to give to it the better and more complete - copyright which is intended to be given to literary works. And - there would be, as I have pointed out clearly, great inconvenience - in having two laws of copyright as to two sets of maps or as to - the same set of maps."[798] - -Mellish, L. J., said: - - "I think it is a perfectly rational enactment that maps shall no - longer be included among works of art but be classed in future - with literary works."[799] - -After this case had been decided a petition was brought to the Court -praying that another case, _Stannard_ v. _Harrison_,[800] in which -the same map had been copied, and to which the defendants had -consented to a decree for injunction and damages, should be reheard. -Bacon, V. C., refused the petition, and indicated in the course of -his judgment that a map not registered as a book might be protected -as an engraving if the claim was properly stated. The judgment in -_Stannard_ v. _Lee_,[801] he said, had gone on a question of pleading, -the plaintiffs having voluntarily brought their map under the category -of books. This is by no means a satisfactory explanation of the -decision in the Court of Appeal, as it is abundantly clear from the -judgments as reported that in the view of the Lords Justices the -Copyright Act, 1842, took maps, charts, and plans out of the category -of artistic works and placed them in the category of literary works. -Whether this is a correct view is another matter, but at present it -would seem to be law. It is submitted that the true view probably -is that a map may be protected under either Act if the requisite -formalities are observed. The Literary will probably give a wider -protection than the Engraving Acts. The Engraving Acts will protect a -map from infringement of the method of execution, that is to say, the -work which is the peculiar work of the engraver; while the Literary -Act will protect it not only from that, but from a piratical taking -of information imparted. Thus suppose a map of India giving battles -and dates and, say, the principal products of the various districts -marked with printed letters on the surface. It is difficult to see how -the taking of all these dates and products and placing them perhaps -printed in different letters on the new map could be an infringement -of the engraving copyright in the map; there is nothing in the nature -of a design or drawing taken; and yet it is quite clear it will be an -infringement under the protection afforded by a literary copyright, -because there is a taking of the particular expression by which -information is imparted. - -_Engravings in a book_ are protected by the Copyright Act, 1842, as -part of the book, and, as such, do not require to comply with the -requirements of the Engraving Acts.[802] The protection of a print -forming part of a book is probably a double one, and if it had the -name and date inscribed would be protected without registration or -notwithstanding faulty registration of the book. - -=Must the Engraving be made within the British Dominions.=--The Act -17 Geo. III. c. 57 giving a remedy by action for damages is expressly -confined to works made in Great Britain. The other two Acts, 8 Geo. -II. c. 13 and 7 Geo. III. c. 38, are not expressly limited to works -there made, but it has been held that the limitation is to be supplied -in them.[803] - - "It is plain that the object of the legislature was to - protect those works which were designed, engraved, etched, or - worked in Great Britain, and not those which were designed, - engraved, etched, or worked abroad, and only published in Great - Britain."[804] - -The Act 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 59 extends the application of the Engraving -Acts to Ireland, and in section 2 there is a general proviso -protecting "any engraving or print of any description whatever ... -which may have been or which shall hereafter be published in any part -of Great Britain or Ireland." It is quite arguable that this extends -the protection to engravings wherever made if published in the United -Kingdom; but probably it would be held to be only applicable to -engravings made in the United Kingdom, and is merely a proviso that -there will be no copyright until publication in the United Kingdom. -The point, however, is one of great uncertainty. - -Under the International Copyright Act, 1886,[805] works first produced -anywhere within the British dominions are protected equally with those -first produced in the United Kingdom. The doubt still remains whether -the engraving must not be made as well as first published within the -British dominions. - -=The Engraving must be first Published within the British -Dominions.=--There is no protection until publication[806] except -at common law. Publication is an act which gives to the public an -opportunity on payment or otherwise of viewing the print. There -may probably be publication without offering copies for sale or -distribution. See as to publication of books[807] and pictures;[808] -but the analogy is not complete with either. There seems to be no -direct authority as to what constitutes publication of an engraving. - -Before 1886 the work had to be published in the United Kingdom.[809] -Now first publication anywhere within the British dominions will be -sufficient to secure the copyright.[810] - -=Date of First Publication and Proprietor's Name.=--It is a condition -precedent to protection that there must be truly engraved on each -plate, and printed on every print or prints[811]-- - - i. The name of the proprietor; - ii. The day of first publication. - -This qualification of the engraver's right is only inserted in 8 Geo. -II. c. 13, and not in the subsequent Acts which extend the protection -to works not there included and give remedies not there given. It has -been held, however, that as the Acts are _in pari materia_ they must -be taken together, and the qualification in the first read into the -others.[812] - -The proviso as to the name and date is a condition precedent to -protection, and not merely directory.[813] In one case Lord Hardwicke -thought that, although no action for penalties would lie unless the -name and date were correctly published, an injunction might be granted -even although the name and date were not published at all.[814] He was -probably wrong. - -_Name of Proprietor._--There is some little doubt as to whether this -must be the name of the person who was proprietor at the date of -first publication or at the date on which protection is claimed. In -_Thompson_ v. _Symonds_[815] Lord Kenyon said: - - "The name of the proprietor should appear in order that those who - wish to copy it might know to whom to apply for consent. It seems, - therefore, necessary that the date should remain, but that the - name of the proprietor should be altered as often as the property - is changed." - -But Buller, J., in the same case, thought the proprietor always meant -the inventor and first proprietor, notwithstanding the property had -passed to his assignee. The point is certainly doubtful, but the -latter view that the name of the first proprietor only need be on -the print seems the more reasonable, and not contrary to the wording -of the Act. The proprietor need not be described as such on the -plate.[816] If his name is there it is sufficient, even if there is -more than one name and it is uncertain which is the proprietor.[817] -The proprietor need not be described by his full name, his surname -is sufficient.[818] When a partnership firm are proprietors of an -engraving the trading name of the firm is a sufficient designation, -inasmuch as it enables parties to know whom to apply to for -information.[819] If a single proprietor trades under the designation -of A. B. & Co. that is a sufficient designation.[820] - -=Immoral Works.=--There will be no copyright in profane, libellous, or -indecent prints.[821] - -=Duration of Protection.=--The statutory right begins on publication, -and runs for twenty-eight years from the day of first publishing.[822] - -After publication protection will depend entirely on the statute.[823] - -Before publication there is a common law right to prevent all -interference with what is a man's private property,[824] and to -protect this the formalities prescribed by the statute need not be -complied with. - - -SECTION II.--THE OWNER OF THE COPYRIGHT. - -=The Engraver.=--The persons to whom the copyright is given by the -Acts are, "Every person and persons who shall invent or design, -engrave, etch, or work in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro, or from his own -work, design, or invention, shall cause or procure to be designed, -engraved, etched, or worked in mezzotinto or chiaro oscuro any prints -... and every person who shall engrave, etch, or work in mezzotinto or -chiaro oscuro, or cause to be engraved, etched, or worked any print -taken from any picture." - -The engraver, therefore, is the first owner of the copyright when -he does the work on his own behalf, or, if he does it on behalf of -another, executes it entirely from his own work, design, or invention. - -=The Employer.=--When one man employs another to execute an engraving -it would seem that by the Acts[825] the copyright vests _ab initio_ in -the employer: - - 1. In the case of an engraving taken from another work of - art. - 2. In the case of an engraving with an original design, - if it is executed from the employer's own work, - design, or invention. - -An employer may be the inventor of a design even although he is unable -to draw, and would himself be unable to execute it. For instance, in -the case[826] of a war map for the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, it -was held that a publisher who had employed an engraver, giving him -material and instructions from time to time was the inventor, and -therefore the first owner in the copyright in the map. Bacon, V. C., -said: - - "As to whether the design or invention is that of the plaintiff - or not is a mere matter of character.... The compiler has proved - that it is the design of the plaintiff; that the plaintiff brought - to him his rough sketch or draught, a drawing of the same size - as the stone on which it was to be engraved, pointing out, as - the compiler has said, 'a rough sketch of the forts and towns to - give me an idea; he furnished me also with a large French map, - and some maps published in the _Times_ and _Daily Telegraph_; he - gave me notice also daily of the earthworks that were made and - produced, besides a picture published in the _Illustrated London - News_.' That the plaintiff cannot draw himself is a matter - wholly unimportant if he has caused other persons to draw for - him. He invents the subject of the design beyond all question. - He prescribes the proportions and the contents of the design; - he furnishes a part of the materials from which the drawing has - to be made in the first instance, and afterwards collects daily - from the proper sources, and even, if it be necessary to say so, - from official sources, the decrees, the reports, the bulletins - and accounts contained in the newspapers of the different phases - of the war, and especially of the places in which earthworks are - thrown up. These he communicates to the man whom he has employed - to make a drawing for him.... It is clear to my mind that this - is a work of diligence, industry, and for aught I know of genius - on the part of the plaintiff, for the notion never seems to have - occurred to the compiler himself." - -If the person employed is the servant of the employer and not an -independent contractor, the whole right in the engraving will -probably, irrespective of the Acts, vest _ab initio_ in the -employer.[827] - -=The Assignee.=--In one case[828] it was contended that there could -be no assignment under the Engraving Acts enabling an assignee to sue -in his own name, since these Acts only provide for the licence and -exemption from liabilities of a purchaser.[829] It was held, however, -that there could be an assignment, and that the assignee could sue in -his own name.[830] - -As a licence is required to be in writing, signed by the proprietor -and in the presence of two or more credible witnesses,[831] so must -the assignment which passes a greater right.[832] - -The sale of plates will not in itself operate as an assignment;[833] -but, if it were clearly intended to pass the whole right, probably it -would pass with the plates without assignment in writing.[834] - -Before publication the whole right in the engraving, _i. e._ the -common law right, may be assigned without writing.[835] - - -SECTION III.--INFRINGEMENT OF THE COPYRIGHT. - -=Prohibited Acts and Remedies.=--It is an offence "for any -print-seller or other person whatsoever"[836]-- - - 1. To engrave, etch, or work, or in any manner copy and - sell the protected work. - 2. To print, reprint, or import for sale any pirated copy. - 3. Knowingly to publish, sell, or expose for sale, or in - any other manner dispose of any pirated copy. - 4. To cause or procure any of these acts to be done. - -For any such offence the remedy is an action in the High Court for-- - - i. Forfeiture of plates and sheets to proprietor for destruction. - [837] - ii. Penalty of 5s. for every published copy.[838] - iii. Damages.[839] - iv. Injunction.[840] - v. Inspection and Account.[841] - -Further it is an offence-- - - 5. Innocently to publish, sell, or expose for sale, any - pirated copy.[842] - 6. To make a copy or copies, whether for sale or not.[843] - 7. To cause or procure any of these acts to be done. - -For any such offence the remedy is an action in the High Court for-- - - i. Damages.[844] - ii. Injunction.[845] - iii. Inspection and Account.[846] - -Penalties and delivery of plates or copies may also be recovered by -summary proceeding before any two justices having jurisdiction where -the party offending resides.[847] - -_Guilty Knowledge._--It will be noticed that in order to recover -penalties and forfeiture of copies under 8 Geo. II. c. 13, for the -offence of selling a piratical copy, it must have been committed -knowing the copy to have been produced without consent. In 17 Geo. -III. c. 57, however, the offence for which an action for damages lies -is merely "selling," thus not requiring proof of guilty knowledge. It -has been contended that the requirement of guilty knowledge in 8 Geo. -II. c. 13, should be read into 17 Geo. III. c. 57, and the action of -damages provided by the latter statute applied to guilty selling only. -This contention has been rejected as erroneous.[848] - -_Limitation of Action._--Actions for penalties under the Acts must -be brought within three months of the discovery of the offence sued -on[849] and within six months after the committal of such offence.[850] - -There is no express limitation in the Acts in respect of actions for -damages under 17 Geo. III. c. 57, and therefore such action will not -be barred for six years.[851] - -_Costs._--The litigant if successful in an action for infringement -is to recover "full costs."[852] This proviso, however, has been -construed to mean nothing more than ordinary costs taxed as between -party and party.[853] Probably, however, they may be claimed as of -right and are not in the discretion of the Court under Rules of the -Supreme Court, o. 65, r. 1.[854] - -_Copying for Private Use_ will probably be actionable under 17 Geo. -III. c. 57;[855] but no penalties could be recovered under 8 Geo. II. -c. 13, as under that Act the making must be a making for sale. - -=What is a Piratical Copy.=--The right under the Acts is "the sole -right and liberty of printing and reprinting the same,"[856] and the -prohibition is against "engraving, etching, or working in mezzotinto -or chiaro oscuro or otherwise, or in any manner copying, in the whole -or in part, by varying, adding to or diminishing from, the main -design."[857] - -The taking of a material part is a piracy;[858] the copy which -contains a material part of a copyright engraving is a piratical copy, -and it is an offence to import or sell it.[859] - -The copyright in an engraving may be infringed otherwise than -by another engraving. Thus a photograph of an engraving is an -infringement of the copyright in it.[860] - -It is doubtful how far the Engraving Acts protect the design in -an engraving. It is clear that when an engraving is taken from a -work of art previously existing, such as a pen and ink drawing or -a painting, the engraving is only copyright so far as the work of -the engraver[861] is concerned; that is to say, apart from the -copyright in the drawing or painting, which may or may not be his, -the engraver acquires no monopoly[862] of the right to engrave the -picture; the fact of his being the first engraver does not prevent -others from doing the same, they can only be prevented from copying -from his engraving the peculiar execution of the design. In _Dicks_ v. -_Brooks_[863] a printed pattern for Berlin wool work was taken from -an engraving of the well-known picture "The Huguenot," by Millais. -The owner of the copyright in the engraving sued for infringement. -It was held that the printed pattern constituted no infringement of -his engraving; it contained no reproduction of that which was the -engraver's meritorious work in the print. But if the whole invention -and design of the engraving is the engraver's own do the Engraving -Acts protect the engraver in such design and invention? There is no -authority where the point has been expressly considered and decided. -It is suggested that the Engraving Acts protect that part of an -engraving only which is the result of the engraver's peculiar art; -for the rest, for the design, for the invention, for the grouping of -the figures, protection can only be obtained under the Act protecting -drawings, or (in the case of maps) under the Literary Copyright Act, -or at common law. In _Roworth_ v. _Wilkes_[864] Lord Ellenborough -considered a copying of the design was an infringement of copyright -under the Engraving Acts. The action was in respect of an alleged -infringement of certain plates in a treatise on fencing. These plates -had been copied in so far as the position of the figures went, but -they were represented as differently dressed. His Lordship, in -directing the jury, said: - - "As to the prints, the question will be whether the defendant has - copied the main design ... it is still to be considered whether - there be such a similitude and conformity between the prints that - the person who executed the one set must have used the others as - a model. In that case he is a copyist of the main design. But if - the similitude can be supposed to have arisen from accident, or - necessarily from the nature of the subject, or from the artist - having sketched designs merely from reading the letterpress of - the plaintiffs work, the defendant is not answerable. It is - remarkable, however, that he has given no evidence to explain the - similitude or to repel the presumption which that necessarily - causes." - -In _Martin_ v. _Wright_[865] it was held that when an artist had from -sketches of his own produced an engraving, and the defendant had it -copied on canvas in colours on a very large scale, with dioramic -effect, and publicly exhibited it, such a copying and exhibiting was -no infringement of the engraving. The ground of this decision seems -to have been partly that the merit of the new work had absorbed the -merit of the old. Thus Shadwell, V. C., prefaces his judgment with the -remark that "any person may copy and publish the whole of a literary -composition provided he writes notes upon it, so as to present it to -the public connected with matter of his own."[866] Another ground of -the decision seems to have been that the diorama was produced for -purposes of exhibition and not of sale. The real point, whether the -Acts protected more than that which was peculiar to the engraver's -art, does not appear to have been considered either in the argument -or judgment. In _Dicks_ v. _Brooks_[867] James, L. J., appears to have -been of opinion that 8 Geo. II. c. 3, in protecting the work of an -engraver where the invention and design was his own, protected not -only the work peculiar to the engraver's art, but the invention and -design of the pictures as well. - - "These words were intended to give protection for the genius - exhibited in the invention of the design, and the protection was - commensurate with the invention and design."[868] - -Bramwell, L. J., however, seems inclined towards the opposite view. He -says: - - "I do not say that if this were an ordinary engraving with no - picture, a lithograph taken from it would not be a copy. I think - that a photograph taken from it would be a copy. I do not say that - if this were an original engraving with no picture, and a copy - were made of it and afterwards coloured there might not be some - ground for saying that there was a piracy of the art and skill of - the engraver. I should have very great misgiving about it, because - I doubt whether the statutes were not intended to protect the - artist's skill as an engraver only, and not as a draftsman."[869] - -It is no defence to an action for infringement that the work has been -extensively added to or improved.[870] - -Striking prints from the proprietor's own plate has been held not -to be an infringement, although it was clearly an unauthorised act -and a breach of contract.[871] Thus a printer who had plates in his -possession would not infringe the copyright and be liable to penalties -by striking copies for his own use, but he would be liable in damages -for breach of contract. - -_Licence a Defence._--A licence in order to be a defence must be -in writing signed by the proprietor in the presence of two or more -credible witnesses,[872] but a licensee who is also a purchaser -of any plates for printing may presumably without any document in -writing print from the said plates without incurring penalties[873] -under 8 Geo. II. c. 13 or 7 Geo. III. c. 38, but _quaere_ whether such -purchaser would not technically be liable to damages under 17 Geo. -III. c. 57. A bare licensee, although a purchaser of plates, could not -authorise third persons to print from the plates except as his agent -and on his behalf.[874] - - - - -CHAPTER VII - -COPYRIGHT IN SCULPTURE - - -SECTION I.--WHAT WORKS ARE PROTECTED. - -The following works are protected under the Sculptures Act: - - 1. Every original sculpture:[875] - 2. First published within the British dominions:[876] - 3. [The author of which is a British subject or resident within the - British dominions]:[877] - 4. Which bears the proprietor's name and the date [of first - publication] thereon:[878] - 5. And is innocent.[879] - -Protection endures for fourteen years from publication, and another -term of fourteen years if the author is then alive and retains the -copyright.[880] - -Protection is probably limited by implication to the United -Kingdom.[881] - -=What is an Original Sculpture.=--The work protected is "any new and -original sculpture, or model, or copy, or cast of the human figure or -human figures, or of any bust or busts or of any part or parts of the -human figure clothed in drapery or otherwise, or of any subject being -matter of invention in sculpture, or of any alto or basso-relievo -representing any of the matters or things hereinbefore mentioned, or -any cast from nature of the human figure or of any part or parts of -the human figure, or of any cast from nature of any animal or of any -part or parts of any animal, or of any such subject containing any -of the matters or things hereinbefore mentioned, whether separate or -combined."[882] - -In one case it was contended that the Act only applied to -representations of human figures and animals. North, J., however, held -that "any new and original sculpture" applied to any subject "being -matter of invention in sculpture," and that casts of fruit and leaves -used for instruction in drawing were protected.[883] - -Carefully modelled toy soldiers have been protected as works of -sculpture.[884] - -=The Sculpture must be First Published within the British -Dominions.=--The Act provides that protection shall run from the -first publication of the work.[885] Before 1886 it is possible that -first publication within the United Kingdom was required, now first -publication anywhere within the British dominions will vest the -copyright;[886] first publication outside the British dominions will -destroy it.[887] - -_Publication._--A work of sculpture is published when the "eye of -the public"[888] is allowed to rest upon it, that is to say when the -sculpture itself and not merely a photographic copy or sketch is so -exhibited that the general public have an opportunity of viewing -it.[889] Exhibition in any public gallery such as the Royal Academy -would be publication; but a private view in the artist's studio would -not be publication. - -=Author's Nationality.=--It is extremely doubtful whether the author -must not at the time of first publication bear some allegiance to the -crown by virtue of nationality or residence. If this is so in the case -of books,[890] there seems to be no good ground for saying that the -statute as to sculpture[891] was intended to be more generous to the -foreigner than that as to books.[892] - -=Proprietor's Name and Date.=--The protection given by the Sculpture -Act is conditional on the proprietor or proprietors having caused his, -her, or their name or names with the date to be put on every sculpture -before the same shall be put forth or published.[893] - -_Proprietor's Name._[894]--As to what will probably be a sufficient -statement of the proprietor's name, see the cases on engravings[895] -on which also the proprietor's name is required. As to this provision -the two statutes seem to be _in pari materia_ and the cases equally -applicable to both. - -_Date._--It is not stated what date: but there can be no reasonable -doubt but that the date of first publication is intended. The older -statute governing sculptures[896] (now repealed) required the -proprietor's name and "date of publication." The International Act, -7 & 8 Vict. c. 12, in reciting the provisions as to sculptures, -runs "and by the said Acts[897] it is provided that the name of the -proprietor, with the date of first publication thereof, is to be put -on all such sculptures." It should be noticed, however, that both -statutes were then in operation and 38 Geo. III. c. 71 had not yet -been repealed, so that the recitation in 7 & 8 Vict. c. 12 may apply -only to the provision in 38 Geo. III. c. 71, and is not necessarily -explanatory of 54 Geo. III. c. 36. There can be no doubt, however, -that the omission in 54 Geo. III. c. 56 to state what date was -required was an oversight, and everything points to its being the -date of first publication that is meant. The statutory protection -begins then, and from then the duration of the copyright is measured -so that there is strong reason for the public being apprised of the -date of first publication, while the date of making, which is the only -other conceivable date, is of no importance. When the date affixed -was a date a few days before publication, Wright, J., held it was -immaterial, as it would only shorten the term of the copyright.[898] - -=Immoral Works.=--Profane, libellous, or indecent works will not be -protected. There are no direct authorities in respect of unlawful -works of sculpture, but as in books,[899] paintings,[900] and -engravings[901] the general policy of the law not to take an account -between wrong-doers will apply. - -=Duration of Protection.=--Statutory protection commences on -publication.[902] Before publication the unpublished work will -be protected at common law from any use which may be made of it -without the permission of the owner. After publication the statutory -protection alone exists and subsists for fourteen years[903] with a -further term of fourteen years if at the expiration of the first term -the person who originally made or caused the sculpture to be made is -alive and has not parted with the copyright.[904] - - -SECTION II.--THE OWNER OF THE COPYRIGHT. - -=The Artist.=--If a work of sculpture is made by an artist on his own -behalf he becomes on publication the proprietor of the copyright if -before publication he has not assigned his interest in the work. - -=The Employer.=--If one procures an artist to make a work of sculpture -for him the employer will be _ab initio_ the owner of the copyright -without any necessity for assignment from the artist. In order so to -vest the work the employer, it would seem, requires to take no part in -the invention or design of the work. If he causes the work to be done, -he comes within the Act. No valuable consideration need be shown. - -=The Assignee.=--Assignment must be under seal, _i. e._ by a deed in -writing signed by the proprietor in the presence of and attested by -two or more credible witnesses.[905] - - -SECTION III.--INFRINGEMENT OF THE COPYRIGHT. - -=Prohibited Acts and Remedies.=--The Act (54 Geo. III. c. 56) gives to -the proprietor "the sole right and property" of works in sculpture. - -The prohibited Acts are[906]-- - - 1. Making a pirated copy. - 2. Importing a pirated copy. - 3. Exposing for sale or otherwise disposing of a pirated copy. - 4. Causing any of these acts to be done. - -The remedy is an action at the suit of the proprietor for[907]-- - - i. Damages. - ii. Injunction. - iii. Costs--"a full and reasonable indemnity."[908] - -_Guilty Knowledge._--Ignorance is no defence to an action in respect -of any of the prohibited Acts, even that of selling. - -_Limitation of Action._--All actions under the Act must be commenced -within six months of the discovery of the offence sued on. - -_Copying for Private Use._--Either making or importing a single copy -for private use would technically be an infringement. The prohibition -is not limited to making or importing for sale, hire, exhibition, or -distribution, as in the case of paintings, &c., under 25 & 26 Vict. c. -68, sec. 6. - -=What is a Piratical Copy.=--A pirated copy may be "produced by -moulding or copying from or imitating in any way any of the matters or -things put forth or published under the protection of the Act ... to -the detriment, damage, or loss of the proprietor."[909] - -The prohibition is against "imitating in any way." This prohibition -does not seem so wide as that in 25 & 26 Vict. c. 68, which prohibits -the multiplication of a painting or drawing or the design thereof. -It is more similar to the prohibition in the Engraving Act 8 Geo. -II. c. 13, viz., against engraving, &c., "or in any manner copying" -a copyright print. It seems therefore to be open to question as with -engravings whether a piece of sculpture can be infringed except by -some work of art which reproduces the peculiar art of the sculptor. -Would a piece of sculpture be infringed by a picture, sketch, or -engraving copying the design of the work? - -Licence would be a defence, and it probably does not require to be in -writing. There is nothing in the Act from which the necessity for a -licence to be in writing could be implied. - - - - -CHAPTER VIII - -COPYRIGHT IN PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS - - -SECTION I.--WHAT WORKS ARE PROTECTED. - -The following works are protected under the Fine Arts Copyright Act, -1862: - - 1. Every original painting, drawing, and photograph:[910] - 2. Not first published outside the British Dominions:[911] - 3. The "author" of which is a British subject, or is resident - within the dominions of the crown [when the - work is made]:[912] - 4. Which has been registered before infringement:[913] - 5. And is innocent.[914] - -Protection vests at the date of making, and endures for the author's -life and seven years.[915] - -Protection is limited to the United Kingdom.[916] - -=Every Original Painting, Drawing, and Photograph.=--There is no -attempt to define what is a painting, drawing, or photograph within -the meaning of the Act.[917] The substances used in the making are no -doubt immaterial, so long as the result is _ejusdem generis_ with what -is ordinarily meant by a picture, drawing, or photograph. A painting -on the wall of a house would doubtless be protected, but not a design -created by grouping figures in a _tableau vivant_.[918] - -_Originality_ as an essential of protection means that there must be -something either in the design or execution of the work which is not -merely copied from some other artistic work. The whole work need not -be original. Thus the execution may be original but not the design, -as in the case of a photograph of an old picture;[919] or part only -of the design may be original, as in the case of the design of an -old drawing added to or altered. In so far as the work is new there -will be protection, but in so far as it is old there will be no -protection.[920] - -_Artistic Merit._--The Court will not inquire as to whether a -painting, drawing, or photograph is good, bad, or indifferent. If it -consists in the representation of some object by means of light and -shade or colour, it will suffice, and even the coarsest or the most -commonplace, or the most mechanical representation of the commonest -object would be protected so that an exact reproduction of it, such -as photography, for instance, would produce, would be an infringement -of copyright.[921] Probably there must be a representation of some -concrete object, real or imaginary. Protection, for instance, was -refused to a label for Eau de Cologne,[922] which merely bore the -legend "Johanna Maria Farina gegenueber dem Julichs Platz," written in -copperplate with sundry dots and flourishes. It was held that any one -who had a right to sell Farina's Eau de Cologne might manufacture and -use the label, since although the label was a trade mark there was no -copyright in it. A label with anything in the nature of a picture on -it would undoubtedly be copyright, as the use to which a work of art -is put is immaterial, but it is doubtful whether a label containing -merely geometrical figures and fancy dots and lines would be protected -under the Act of 1862. Probably it would not. - -=Publication outside the British Dominions.=--Copyright in works of -art under the Act of 1862 begins on the making thereof, and is not -dependent on publication. It is immaterial where the work is made, -whether in the British dominions or elsewhere, and it would be as -immaterial where it was first published, or whether it was published -or not, but for the provision of the International Copyright Act, -1844. Section 19 of this Act provides that the maker of a work of art -which shall be first published out of the British dominions shall not -have copyright therein otherwise than such as he may become entitled -to under the International Acts; which means that where there is no -treaty a work first published abroad is not protected at all. The -result of this section was evidently not contemplated when the Fine -Arts Act, 1862, was framed. There seems to be no doubt that the work, -wherever made, will acquire copyright immediately on the making, but -that that copyright may be lost if the work is published abroad before -it is published in the British dominions. - -_Published._--A painting, drawing, or photograph is probably published -when it is so exhibited as to give the public an opportunity of -viewing it. The leading case on publication of works of art is -_Turner_ v. _Robinson_[923] in the Court of Chancery in Ireland. This -case was decided before 1862, and therefore before there was any -statutory copyright in paintings. The subject-matter was a painting -from which certain stereoscopic views had been taken without the -proprietor's consent. The painting had been previously, with the -consent of the proprietor, published in the form of an engraving -in a magazine, and exhibited at the Royal Academy in London and in -Manchester. It was then exhibited with the proprietor's consent -in Dublin for the purpose of obtaining contributors to a proposed -engraving, and while so exhibited the defendant, without consent, -copied it and produced his stereoscopic photographs. The Master of the -Rolls[924] thought that the picture had never been published, because -the exhibitions to the public in the Academies and in Dublin were on -the condition that no copies should be taken, and the engraving in the -magazine was not a publication of the picture, but only of a rough -representation of it. He therefore held that the common law right in -the picture had not been lost by publication, and that the proprietor -could recover against the taker of the stereoscopic views as against -an infringer of common law rights. The Court of Appeal in Chancery -upheld the judgment of the Master of the Rolls, but on different -grounds. They said it was unnecessary to decide whether there had been -publication in London and Manchester since, in their opinion, the act -of the defendant in taking stereoscopic views from the painting was a -breach of faith. He was admitted to the view in Dublin for one purpose -only, _i. e._ to become if he wished a subscriber to an engraving; but -he abused his privilege by taking a copy of the painting which might -well compete with the plaintiff's proposed engraving. The defendant -was, therefore, restrained on the ground of breach of faith or implied -contract. In his judgment the Lord Chancellor disapproved of the -view of the Master of the Rolls that there had been no publication -in London or Manchester. He thought exhibition in the Academy, -even although to a certain extent conditional, would be sufficient -publication to vest the copyright, _e. g._ in a work of sculpture -under the statutes applicable to such works. Exhibition in a public -gallery, therefore, would be publication, but not a private view in -the artist's studio to which only a small and selected portion of -the public are invited. Whether the publication of a print would be -publication of the picture from which it was taken, _quaere_; the -Master of the Rolls thought not, and on this point the Court of Appeal -neither approved nor disapproved. - -=Nationality or Residence of Artist.=--The protection of the Act -is expressly limited to the works of British subjects and of such -foreigners as are resident within the dominions of the Crown.[925] -There is no direction in the statute as to the time when the author -must possess the requisite nationality or residence. Must it be at the -time of making or at the time of publishing, or both? It is submitted -that it must be at the time of making, since copyright in the work -vests at that time, and there may never be publication at all. There -seems to be no reason for suggesting that the date to be looked at is -the date of publication, except that the next words in the section -provide that the work may be made anywhere, and the proviso as to the -residence of the author, if applied at the date of making, means that-- - - 1. A work by a British subject may be made anywhere; but, - 2. A work by an alien must be made within the dominions of the Crown. - -There does not seem to be anything absurdly contradictory in this, and -there is, on the other hand, a patent absurdity in not being able to -determine whether the author is an author within the Act until long -after the right has begun to run. - -=Registration.=--A condition precedent to protection is registration -in the book kept at the Hall of the Stationers' Company. - -_The Requisite Entry._--There must be registered: - - 1. Name and place of abode of the "author." - 2. Name and place of abode of the proprietor. - 3. Short description of the nature and subject of the work. - And if desired, - 4. A sketch outline or photograph of the work. - -The wording of section 4 of the Act of 1862 providing for compulsory -registration is very confused, the requirements on first registration -being unaccountably mixed up with the requirements on subsequent -assignment. - -On first registration whenever it takes place it is submitted that the -particulars entered should be as above.[926] The author and proprietor -may very likely be the same individual, in which case the one name -will be entered twice, once under each description. It would probably -not be sufficient merely to enter the author's name once as author -and leave it to be implied that he is the owner. Even if the author -and proprietor are different persons, either because the author has -been employed for valuable consideration or because he has granted -an assignment, the particulars to be entered on first registration -are the same, no entry of the terms of employment or assignment being -necessary.[927] The real proprietor must be on the register, and if -the wrong person is registered as proprietor it will not give a cause -of action to join such person as co-plaintiff with the real proprietor -who is not on the register.[928] - -As in the Literary Copyright Act, copyright in the work exists before -registration, but no action is maintainable without registration, and -under this Act even after registration there is no remedy in respect -of infringement committed before registration.[929] - -It need hardly be said that the necessity of registration only -applies to an action on copyright proper, and an action will without -registration lie on breach of contract, express or implied,[930] and -probably on the common law right of an author and his assigns in -unpublished work.[931] - -If an unauthorised copy is made before the proprietor is registered -but sold afterwards, an action for damages will lie for the offence of -selling such copies, but no action for penalties.[932] No action at -all will lie for making.[933] - -If an action is brought by an assignee, such assignee must be on -the register as proprietor,[934] and it will not avail to join as -co-plaintiff an unregistered assignee with the assignor who although -registered has parted with the copyright.[935] An assignee taking -from a registered assignor probably cannot sue in respect of acts of -infringement committed before the registration of the assignment.[936] -It is not necessary that the original proprietor, whether author or -employer, should have been registered,[937] but once registration -has been effected it would seem that all future assignments must be -entered on the register.[938] - -The registration by an assignee under an assignment, subsequent to -first registration, must contain the following particulars:[939] - - 1. Date of assignment. - 2. Names of parties to the assignment. - 3. Name and place of abode of the assignee. - 4. Name and place of abode of the author. - 5. Short description of nature and subject of the work. - And if desired, - 6. A sketch outline or photograph of the work. - -The enactments of 5 & 6 Vict. c. 45 (the Literary Copyright Act) as to - - 1. Keeping the Register Book; - 2. Searches and certified copies therefrom; - 3. False entries; - 4. Application to expunge, - -apply _mutatis mutandis_ to registration of paintings, drawings, and -photographs. - -The charge for making an entry is one shilling. - -_Name._--The trading style of a firm is a sufficient registration of -the name of a proprietor. - -_Place of Abode._--The place where a man can readily be found on -inquiry is sufficient. A business address is a "place of abode" within -the statute. - -_Short Description of the Nature and Subject of the Work._--The title -of the work will sometimes be a sufficient description. The following -were held sufficient descriptions of Sir John Millais' well-known -pictures, viz.: "Painting in oil, 'Ordered on Foreign Service'"; -"Painting in oil, 'My First Sermon'"; "Photograph, 'My Second -Sermon.'"[940] Blackburn, J., said: - - "It is the object of the legislature that enough be stated to - identify the production, and that the registration must be _bona - fide_, that a man shall not first claim one thing and then sue - for another. The description must be such as shall earmark the - subject.... The picture 'Ordered on Foreign Service' represents - an officer who is ordered abroad taking leave of a lady, and no - one can doubt that is the picture intended.... There may be a - few instances in which the mere registration of the name of the - picture is not sufficient: for instance, Sir Edwin Landseer's - picture of a Newfoundland dog might possibly be insufficiently - registered under the description of 'A Distinguished Member of the - Humane Society.' So also of a bullfinch and a couple of squirrels - described as 'Piper and a Pair of Nut-crackers.' ... It would be - advisable for a person proposing to register to add a sketch or - outline of the work."[941] - -In the learned judge's opinion deficient description although it would -not be sufficient in itself, may be made sufficient by the addition of -a photograph, sketch, or outline. It would seem, however, that there -must be a description of some kind, and that a photograph or sketch -would not by itself be sufficient. - -=Immoral Works.=--There will be no copyright in profane, libellous, or -indecent[942] works of art. - -=Duration of Protection.=--The copyright under the Fine Arts Act -endures for the term of the natural life of the "author" and seven -years after his death.[943] - -Copyright will cease if and when any painting or drawing or the -negative of any photograph is sold by the first owner thereof without -either the express reservation in writing of such copyright to the -vendor signed by the vendee or his agent, or the express assignment in -writing of such copyright to the vendee signed by the vendor or his -agent.[944] - -The copyright will also cease (probably) if the work is published out -of the British dominions before publication within the dominions.[945] - - -SECTION II.--THE OWNER OF THE COPYRIGHT. - -=The Author.=--The copyright is given to "the author and his assigns," -except when the work is executed for or on behalf of any other person -for a good or valuable consideration.[946] The author is the actual -artist whose mind has created the work.[947] The giving of ideas and -suggestions to another is not sufficient to constitute an author,[948] -but, on the other hand, there might be an author who had done little -or nothing of the manual work required in the execution. In _Nottage_ -v. _Jackson_ the question of authorship in works of art was fully -discussed. Brett, M. R., said: - - "The author of a painting is the man who paints it, the author of - a drawing is the man who draws it,... of a photograph the author - is the person who effectively is as near as he can be the cause - of the picture which is produced, that is, the person who has - superintended the arrangement, who has actually formed the picture - by putting the people into position and arranging the place in - which the people are to be--the man who is the effective cause of - that. Although he may only have done it by standing in the room - and giving orders about it, still it is his mind and act, as far - as anybody's mind and act are concerned, which is the effective - cause of the picture such as it is when it is produced." - -Cotton, L. J., in the same case, said: - - "In my opinion 'author' involves originating, making, - producing, as the inventive or master mind, the thing which is - to be protected, whether it be a drawing or a painting or a - photograph.... It is not the person who suggests the idea but the - person who makes the painting or drawing who is the author." - -=The Employer.=--When an artistic work, protected by 25 & 26 Vict. c. -68, is executed by the author for or on behalf of any other person for -a good or valuable consideration, the copyright vests in the employer -and his assigns, unless it be expressly reserved to the author by -agreement in writing signed by the employer.[949] This provision -applies to the everyday case of a person employing and paying a -painter or photographer to take his portrait. The copyright vests -in the customer.[950] The case, however, is not always so simple. -Difficult questions arise where the artist, usually a photographer, -requests the sitter, probably an actress or athlete, to allow his -portrait to be taken on the understanding that the artist may publish -and sell copies.[951] The sitter probably receives free copies or -copies at a reduced price. The difficulties to be solved are purely -questions of fact in each case, viz.: - - 1. Was the portrait taken for or on behalf of some person - other than the artist? - 2. Did the artist receive good and valuable consideration? - -As a rule, where a photographer invites celebrities to sit for -him, the understanding will be that the portrait is taken on the -photographer's behalf;[952] but at the same interview some plates -might be taken on behalf of the photographer and some on behalf of the -sitter.[953] The valuable consideration received by the photographer -need not be a money payment, but may consist merely in the right given -to him to publish and sell copies.[954] - -When a managing director of a company employed A to make drawings for -a trade catalogue, the letterpress of which he wrote himself, it was -held that he was acting merely as agent for the company, and that as -the drawings were made not on his behalf but on behalf of the company -he was not the proprietor.[955] - -=The Assignee.=--Assignment is required to be by some note or -memorandum in writing signed by the proprietor of the copyright or his -agent appointed for that purpose in writing.[956] Registration is not -necessary to effect assignment,[957] although the assignee must be -registered before he can sue.[958] - -No particular words are required in an assignment,[959] but there must -be a present grant and not only an executory contract.[960] - -_Partial Assignment._--It is doubtful whether a copyright can be -partially assigned, either limited as to a copying of a particular -kind or limited as to place or time.[961] What is called by the -parties an assignment may only amount to a licence. In _Lucas_ v. -_Cooke_[962] the proprietor of the copyright in a picture granted the -following document to an engraver: "I assign to you for the purposes -of an engraving of one size the copyright of the picture painted by -Mr. E. V. Eddie, entitled "Going to Work," and being a portrait of my -daughter." Fry, J., said: - - "The result of this instrument in my view was that after the - preparation of the engraving and the registration, Mr. Lucas (the - engraver) became the owner of the copyright of the print or - engraving, and Mr. Halford remained the owner of the copyright of - the painting." - -It was held that the engraver, in order to succeed against a copyist, -would have to show that the alleged infringement was a copy of his -engraving, another copy of the picture itself was no infringement of -his rights. The transaction was a licence, and probably a licensee can -never sue in his own name. In one case,[963] however, Mathew, J., held -that a sole licensee for a limited time could sue, and did not require -to be registered. The plaintiff had acquired from the proprietor of -the copyright in a picture the sole right to reproduce it in chromo -for two years. The defendants also produced a chromo of the picture -taken directly from the picture and not from the plaintiff's chromo. -Mathew, J., held that the plaintiff, as sole licensee, was entitled to -prevent any one infringing his right, and that being a licensee and -not an assignee, his name was not required to be on the register. This -is a very doubtful decision. - - -SECTION III.--INFRINGEMENT. - -=Prohibited Acts and Remedies.=--The right given is "the sole and -exclusive right of copying, engraving, reproducing, and multiplying a -painting or drawing and the design thereof, or a photograph and the -negative thereof by any means and of any size."[964] - -It is an offence for the author having parted with the copyright, or -for any other person not being the proprietor[965]-- - - 1. To repeat, copy, colourably imitate or otherwise - multiply for sale, hire, exhibition, or distribution. - 2. Knowingly to import into the United Kingdom, or sell, - publish, let to hire, exhibit, or distribute, or offer - for sale, hire, exhibition, or distribution any copy - unlawfully made. - -And for any of the above offences an action lies at the instance of -the proprietor for[966]-- - - i. Sum not exceeding L10 on each copy made or dealt - with.[967] - ii. Forfeiture of copies to the proprietor.[968] - iii. Inspection and account.[969] - iv. Damages.[970] - v. Injunction.[971] - -Penalties and forfeiture of copies may also be obtained by summary -proceedings before any two justices having jurisdiction where the -party offending resides.[972] - -It is further an offence-- - - 3. Innocently to import or sell, publish, let to hire, exhibit, - or distribute, or offer for sale, hire, exhibition, - or distribution any copy made without the - owner's consent. - -For any of which an action lies at the instance of the proprietor of -the copyright for[973]-- - - i. Damages. - ii. Delivery up of copies, - iii. Inspection and account.[974] - iv. Injunction.[975] - -In addition to sections 6 and 11, where importing is treated as an -infringement involving penalties and damages, section 10 contains a -direct prohibition against importing copies "made contrary to the -provisions of the Act," and on the declaration of the proprietor such -copies may be detained by the officers of Customs.[976] - -_Cause or Procure._--It is equally an offence to "cause or procure" -any of the above acts.[977] It may be sometimes difficult to determine -whether a person has "caused or procured" within the meaning of the -section. In _Bolton_ v. _London Exhibitions_[978] the defendants -ordered a poster for the advertisement of their exhibition at Earl's -Court; they gave the lithographer a general idea of what was wanted, -and told him to do his best. The lithographer, in preparing the -poster, infringed the copyright in the plaintiff's photograph of -a lion. It was held that as the defendants did not authorise the -reproduction of the plaintiff's lion they had not "caused or procured" -the infringement complained of; the action against them was therefore -dismissed, but without costs, as they should have exercised more care -in the matter. - -_Innocent Agent._--If a publisher procures a printer to strike off -copies of an infringement, the printer is liable even although -he is entirely innocent. It was argued in _Baschet_ v. _London -Illustrated_[979] that the printer was only liable if he printed for -his own use, and that if another caused or procured him to print, it -was only the person causing or procuring who was liable. It was held -that both the employers and employees were liable for the same offence. - -_Unlawful Copy._--If a copy is made in a foreign country in which -the proprietor's copyright is not protected, such copy is not a copy -"unlawfully made," and therefore no penalties will attach under -section 6 for knowingly importing or selling such copy;[980] but -under section 11 damages may be sued for, since under that section -it is an offence to import or sell copies made without consent, and -delivery up may be claimed under the same section, because such copies -when offered for sale become unlawful copies although not unlawfully -made.[981] The same distinction applies to selling or importing copies -made before registration, such copies not being "unlawfully made."[982] - -_Separate Offence._--Each piratical copy made or dealt with, and not -only each transaction, is an offence under section 6, and involves a -separate penalty.[983] Blackburn, J., says in _ex parte Beal_:[984] - - "It would be a monstrous absurdity if a man might import a cargo - of pirated works from France and L10 be the utmost penalty that - could be imposed. Such a state of the law would render it worth a - man's while to do wrong."[985] - -It was held in several cases[986] that as 1/4d. was the smallest coin -of the realm, the minimum penalty must be 1/4d. for each copy. This -has now been overruled in the Court of Appeal in _Hildesheimer_ v. -_Faulkner_,[987] and a fraction of 1/4d. can be assessed as the penalty. - -_Copying for Private Use_ will probably not be actionable, since -the offence is to copy, &c., for sale, hire, exhibition, or -distribution.[988] Gratuitous distribution would, however, be -actionable. - -_Action on Breach of Contract._--Although no action may lie for -infringement, either because the party aggrieved has no copyright -or is not duly registered, there may be a remedy for breach of -contract express or implied. Thus if A contract to make copies of B's -drawing, even although B has no copyright therein, it is a breach of -contract for A to make any copies other than for the use of B.[989] -And again, a photographer who has been employed by a customer to -take his portrait is not justified in striking off copies of such -photograph for his own use, or selling or exhibiting them by way of -advertisement or otherwise, without the authority of such customer -express or implied, and even although the customer is not registered -as proprietor of the photograph.[990] - -_Fraudulent Acts._--The following acts if committed fraudulently are -rendered penal by the Act:[991] - - 1. To affix any name, initials, or monogram on any - work.[992] - 2. To sell, exhibit, &c., a work bearing false name, initials, - or monogram. - 3. To represent a copy as the work of an original - "author." - 4. To sell or publish an altered work as the unaltered - work of an original "author." - -For any of these fraudulent acts the person aggrieved may recover by -action[993]-- - - i. Sum not exceeding L10 or double the full value of - the fraudulent works. - ii. Delivery up of the fraudulent works. - iii. Injunction. - -But such penalties will not be incurred if the person whose name or -work has been fraudulently dealt with has been dead for more than -twenty years. - -_Limitation of Action._--There is no special limit fixed by the Act of -1862, and therefore the remedy on an offence within the statute will -not be barred for six years.[994] - -_Evidence._--In any action for the infringement of copyright in a -picture, it will be sufficient to produce in evidence an authenticated -copy of the picture, _e. g._ a photograph with the oral evidence of the -photographer.[995] - -=What is a Piratical Copy.=--_No Monopoly._--There can be no monopoly -of the subject-matter of a painting, drawing, or photograph. Another -artist may independently represent the same scene or object as that -represented in a copyright work.[996] - -_What is a Copy._--A piratical copy need not necessarily be an -artistic work of the same kind as the work pirated. Thus an oil -painting is infringed by a photograph of it,[997] and a photograph -may be infringed by a pencil sketch.[998] An infringement may consist -of either a taking of the design or a taking of the method of -execution, or both. Thus an infringement need not even be a kind of -work which would be protected by this Act. Although there is no direct -authority, it is clear from section 2, which gives the exclusive -right to the design of the work protected, that an engraving would -be an infringement of a painting, drawing, or photograph, and so -perhaps might a piece of sculpture.[999] Then again the design may -not be copyright, for instance, in the case of a photograph of a -non-copyright picture, and yet it would be an infringement to take a -photograph of such a photograph. That would be a taking of the method -of execution.[1000] - -The infringement must be an artistic work of some kind, _i. e._ such -a work that would be protected if not under the Act of 1862, under -the Engraving Acts or Sculpture Act. In _Hanfstaengl_ v. _Empire -Palace_[1001] the Court held that the grouping of people on a stage so -as to form _tableaux vivants_ was not an infringement in the copyright -of a picture thus represented. Kay, L. J., in his judgment, said: - - "Could it possibly have been said the _tableaux vivants_ were - pictures within the sense of this Act, and does not a reproduction - mean something in which, if the original author of the painting - had himself produced it, he might have had copyright." - -_General Idea may be Taken._--It is not an infringement to take -merely the general idea of subject-matter and treatment from a -copyright work of art. In _Hanfstaengl_ v. _Baines_,[1002] the -_tableaux vivants_ which were the subject of the last case cited were -sketched and reproduced in the _Daily Graphic_. It was contended that -these sketches infringed the copyright in the pictures from which -the _tableaux vivants_ were taken. The House of Lords, affirming -the judgment of the Court of Appeal, held that they did not. Lord -Herschell, L. C., in giving judgment, pointed out that the essence of -the design varied according to the nature of the picture. Sometimes it -might be principally in the grouping of the figures, sometimes in the -pose and countenances. Referring to one of the sketches complained of, -he said: - - "There is no doubt a resemblance between the sketch and the - photograph from the painting. In each case a young man and a - young woman are standing beside one another close to a stile or - fence. In each case the woman is shading her head by a parasol, - and the dress of the man is somewhat similar in the two, but - the idea of a young man courting a young woman at a country - stile is of great antiquity. It has often formed the subject of - pictorial representation. This cannot be said to be the design - of the plaintiff's painting within the meaning of the Act. Much - more must be comprehended than this. There can only be a copy of - such design if the treatment of the subject be the same. Now, - comparing the sketch of the photograph from the painting, I do not - think this can be said to be the case. The faces are different, - the dress especially in the case of the woman is different, the - pose is different, the attitudes are different, the backgrounds - are different, and in the case of the sketch the foreground is - wanting. In the artistic design all these things play a part, - although I do not say that a variation in one or even more of - these respects would prevent the sketch being a copy of the - design. Yet, comparing the two and considering the design of - the painting as a whole, I cannot avoid the conclusion that the - sketch is not a copy of the painting or of the design thereof, and - therefore there has been no infringement." - -His lordship concluded by saying that such questions really depended -on the effect produced on the mind by a study of the picture and -of that which is alleged to be a copy of it. In _Guggenheim_ v. -_Leng_[1003] the plaintiff was the owner of the copyright in a -photograph of a football team. The defendant, without authority, -made from the photograph rough sketches of the various individual -portraits, and published them in his newspaper. It was held not to be -an infringement. - -_Material Part._--There is no piracy of an artistic work unless a -material part of the work is taken. What amounts to a material part -must be a question of fact in each case, and it is impossible to lay -down any definite rule. In _Moore_ v. _Clarke_[1004] a horse was -taken from a copyright print and inserted in another print among -different surroundings. In the second print the horse appeared to -be going in a different direction, and the jockey on his back was -differently dressed. The judge directed the jury to consider whether -the defendant's engraving was substantially a copy of the plaintiff's, -and the jury came to the conclusion that it was not. In _Brooks_ v. -_Religious Tract Society_[1005] a collie dog, identical in expression, -attitude, and position, was, together with a wall in the background -and a table, taken from a copyright picture and inserted in a woodcut. -The woodcut differed from the picture in that the figure of a child -was omitted, and in its place two cats and a tortoise and other -details were inserted. Romer, J., held that there was a piracy: - - "It was not only the dog that was taken, but also the feeling and - artistic character of the plaintiff's work.... If a person were - to take an historical picture, and take out of it the principal - figure, and reproduce that figure without the other surroundings, - that would be an infringement. The present case was a stronger - case, because the defendants had not only taken the principal - figure of a dog, but copied as well the sentiment of the picture." - -_Indirect Taking._--It is equally an infringement, although the -copying is indirect.[1006] Thus, for instance, the photograph of an -engraving may infringe the copyright of the picture from which it is -taken.[1007] - -_Guilty Knowledge._--It is no defence to say that the taking was -an innocent one and unintentional.[1008] In the case of a claim -for penalties in respect of importing or selling piratical copies, -knowledge of infringement must necessarily be proved, but in no -other case. But the question of intention cannot always be wholly -disregarded, as it may guide the Court in determining whether the -alleged infringement is a copy or not.[1009] - -_Replicas._--It is an infringement of the proprietor's right for an -author who has parted with his copyright to make a replica of the -work; but if he has made replicas before selling his copyright it -would be no infringement to sell these replicas. _Quaere_ whether it -would be an infringement after selling his copyright in the original -work to take photographs or engravings of the replicas; probably it -would. - -_Licence a Defence._--Licence must be in writing, signed by the -proprietor of copyright or by his agent authorised in writing;[1010] -but probably an oral consent would be a good defence.[1011] - -An assignee is not bound by a licence granted by the assignor before -the assignment, unless he has notice of it.[1012] - -The licensee will be kept strictly within the limits of his licence. -When a licence was granted to reproduce a photograph in one magazine, -it was held an infringement of copyright to reproduce it in another, -and the contention that there was a custom in the publishing trade -allowing this to be done on tender of payment was characterised as -ridiculous.[1013] - - - - -CHAPTER IX - -COLONIAL COPYRIGHT - - -Every British Possession has the power to legislate independently -as regards the protection within its own territory of literary or -artistic works first produced therein.[1014] In respect of such -works they may either limit or extend the protection afforded by the -Imperial Acts. Most of our larger colonies have local Acts.[1015] -Some of the colonies[1016] have, for instance, created a copyright in -the news contained in foreign telegrams, a monopoly unknown under the -Imperial Acts. It is not proposed here to deal with the colonial local -Acts. They are of interest only in the various colonies themselves. -This chapter will be restricted to the rights of a work published in -one part of the British dominions to receive protection in any other -part of the British dominions. This is controlled by the Imperial -Copyright Acts, which extend since 1886 to every British Possession, -and protect works published anywhere therein apart from any local -legislation. - -=Books.=--Before 1886, the Copyright Act, 1842, although it applied -to the whole of the British dominions, only protected those books -which were first published in the United Kingdom. A book, therefore, -published first, say in Canada or Australia, received no copyright -protection except by local legislation, if any, within the territory -of the particular colony where it was first published. - -A book first published in the United Kingdom was protected in every -British colony, not only against copying but against the importation -of reprints. The smaller and poorer colonies found this a considerable -grievance. They alleged that they were unable to afford the price of -English books, and that as they were prohibited from importing foreign -reprints and had little or no contemporary literature of their own, -they were reduced to reading the classics or nothing at all. The -Colonial Copyright Act, 1847,[1017] was passed to give them relief. -It enacts that when reasonable protection to the British author shall -be provided in any British possession by the legislature of such -possession, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, declare that so long -as such protecting provision shall be in force all Acts prohibiting -the importation or sale or hire of foreign copies shall be in respect -of such possession suspended. Altogether twenty colonies[1018] have -taken advantage of this Act. It has been found, however, that the -protecting provisions are of little value, and that the duties which -are supposed to be levied on foreign reprints for the benefit of the -British author are continually evaded, and the colonies under the -Foreign Reprints Act are overrun with foreign reprints of popular -books which, coming in practically free of duty, make the authors' -copyright in such colonies absolutely valueless. - -Books first published in the colonies received Imperial protection -in 1886, when the International Copyright Act[1019] of that year was -passed. It enacts that the Copyright Acts shall apply to a literary or -artistic work first produced in a British Possession in like manner -as they apply to a work first produced in the United Kingdom,[1020] -with a proviso, firstly, that the enactments as to registration -shall not apply if the law of the Possession in question provides -for registration; and, secondly, that no delivery of copies shall -be required. There is also a provision for evidence of colonial -copyright by certified extract from the colonial register. - -_Canada_ came under the Foreign Reprints Act, and, as a result, was so -inundated with cheap reprints from the United States that the Canadian -publishers, in 1875, obtained a local Act for their protection.[1021] -This Act enacts that works of which the copyright has been granted and -is subsisting in the United Kingdom, and copyright of which is not -secured or subsisting in Canada under any Canadian or provincial Act, -shall, upon being printed and published or reprinted and republished -in Canada, be entitled to copyright under the Canadian Act.[1022] It -prohibits _inter alia_ copying and importation of foreign copies, but -nothing in the Act is to be held to prohibit the importation from the -United Kingdom of copies of such works legally printed there. The -Canadian Act is confirmed by an Imperial Act, the Canada Copyright -Act, 1875,[1023] and this enacts that the Canadian copies of a British -book may not be imported into the United Kingdom without the author's -consent. - -Although Canada came under the Foreign Reprints Act, 1847,[1024] and -in accordance therewith imposed duties on foreign reprints for the -benefit of the owner of the copyright, the collection of those duties -has now been abandoned by the Tariff Customs Act (Canada), 1894,[1025] -the result of which is that as regards Canada the provisions of the -Imperial Copyright Act, 1842,[1026] section 17, are revived and the -importation of foreign copies of works having an Imperial copyright is -again prohibited.[1027] The same result will occur in other colonies -which may by statute abandon their enactments for the collection of -authors' duties. - -The Canadian Legislature has recently passed a Copyright Act[1028] -purporting to affect the importation into Canada of books published -under an Imperial Copyright. The Act provides that if a book has -acquired Imperial Copyright by first publication in the British -dominions outside Canada, and a licence has been granted for its -reproduction in Canada, the Canadian Minister of Agriculture may -prohibit the importation into Canada of any copies of such book -printed out of Canada and imported without the licensee's consent. - -I think it is doubtful whether the last-mentioned Act is not _ultra -vires_ of the Canadian Legislature. The Canadians have, since the -British North American Act, 1867, claimed that they have the exclusive -power of legislating in respect of and regulating copyright within -the Dominion of Canada. This claim, however, has not been recognised -in the Canadian courts. In _Smiles_ v. _Belford_[1029] a book was -copyrighted in England, but not under the local Act of 1875 in Canada. -An action was brought by the proprietor to restrain a reprint of -the book in Canada. The defendants pleaded that the book was not -protected in Canada since it was not copyrighted under the local Act. -They argued that the British North American Act, in giving to the -Parliament of Canada "exclusive legislative authority" in certain -matters, including copyrights, excluded the operation of the Imperial -Acts in Canada. They further argued that the confirmation of the -Canadian Copyright Act, 1875, by the Imperial Parliament impliedly -repealed the Imperial Copyright Act of 1842 in so far as it extended -to Canada. The Court held that neither of these arguments was sound. -With reference to the argument on the British North American Act, -Burton, J. A., in the Court of Appeal, said: - - "It is clear, I think, that all the Imperial Act intended to - effect was to place the right of dealing with colonial copyright - within the Dominion under the exclusive control of the Parliament - of Canada, as distinguished from the provincial legislatures.... I - entirely concur with the learned Vice-Chancellor in the opinion he - has expressed that under that Act no greater powers were conferred - upon the Parliament of the Dominion to deal with this subject than - had been previously enjoyed by the local legislatures." - -As regards the Imperial Act confirming the Canada Copyright Act, 1875, -the Court held that it was passed merely to resolve doubts which would -otherwise have arisen as to whether the Canada Copyright Act was not -repugnant to the provisions of the Foreign Reprints Act, 1847, and -the Order in Council thereunder applicable to Canada. Burton, J. A., -said: - - "It is scarcely reasonable to suppose that if the Imperial - Parliament had thought fit to accept the Canadian enactment as - a substitute for the 5 & 6 Vict. they would not have repealed - it so far as it affected Canada in express terms, or that when - stating a reason for Imperial legislation they would have confined - themselves to a reference to the Order in Council, which dealt - only with a portion of the prohibition referred to in that - statute. I am of opinion, therefore, that they have stated the - only reason which rendered it expedient to seek a confirmation of - the Provisional Act, and that it was intended to preserve intact - so much of the Imperial Act as prohibits the printing of a British - copyright work in Canada, but giving to the author a further right - on certain conditions of securing a Canadian copyright and thus - preventing the importation into Canada of foreign reprints." - -For some considerable time before the passing of the Canadian Act of -1900, the Canadians were negotiating for a clause in the Copyright -Bill in this country enabling them to pass a similar provision to that -which they have now passed without Imperial sanction. A clause was -inserted in Lord Monkswell's Literary Copyright Bill, 1900, proposing -to give to all the colonies such a power of protecting licensees. The -Canadians, however, impatient of the delay in copyright reform in this -country, passed their own Act without waiting to obtain authority. It -would certainly be satisfactory to see it confirmed by an Imperial -statute. - -_Summary of Provisions in respect of Books._--The result of the -various enactments with reference to the colonies is that, as regards -copying, every book first published in any part of the British -dominions is protected in every other part of the British dominions. -The book must be duly registered either in the colony or dependency -where it is produced, or, if such colony or dependency does not -provide a proper system of registration, at Stationers' Hall in -London. The protection within the colony in which a book is first -produced depends on local legislation if such overrides the Imperial -legislation. As to importation of copies, the result is not so simple, -but it may be summarised thus: - -If a book has been first published anywhere within the British -dominions, the following prohibitions apply: - -I. _The United Kingdom._--There shall not be imported into, or sold -in, without the consent in writing of the owner of the copyright-- - - Copies printed outside the British dominions.[1030] - Copies printed in Canada under the Canadian Act.[1031] - -II. _Canada._--If the book has been printed and published, or -reprinted and republished,[1032] and registered in Canada, there shall -not be imported into, or sold in, without the consent in writing of -the owner of the copyright-- - - Copies printed outside Canada[1033] unless legally printed in the - United Kingdom under an Imperial copyright existing prior to the - acquirement of a Canadian local copyright.[1034] - -If a book has acquired Imperial copyright by first publication within -the British dominions outside Canada, and the owner of the copyright -has granted a licence to reproduce it in Canada, there shall not be -imported (if the Minister of Agriculture so order) without the consent -in writing of the Canadian licensee-- - - Copies printed outside Canada.[1035] - -In other cases these shall not be imported or sold without the written -consent of the owner of the copyright-- - - Copies printed outside the British dominions. - -III. _Colonies under the Act of 1847 other than Canada._--There is no -prohibition except the nominal import duty on copies printed outside -the British dominions. - -IV. _Other Colonies._--There shall not be imported into or sold in -without the consent in writing of the owner of the copyright-- - - Copies printed outside the British dominions.[1036] - -=Artistic Works.=--We have seen that since the International Copyright -Act, 1886, there is complete protection throughout the whole of the -British dominions for books first published anywhere therein. It was -evidently intended that artistic works should be placed on the same -footing, but unfortunately the distinction between the literary and -artistic Acts was overlooked. The Copyright Act, 1842, protected -books published in the United Kingdom, but expressly extended the -protection to the whole of the British dominions. None of the -artistic copyright Acts extend their protection beyond the United -Kingdom. The Engraving Acts expressly limit their protection to the -United Kingdom;[1037] the Paintings, Drawings, and Photographs Act -expressly limits its remedies to the United Kingdom;[1038] and the -Sculpture Act is silent as to the extent of its protection.[1039] -The result seems to be that although since 1886 all works of art -first published anywhere throughout the British dominions will be -protected by Imperial legislation, that protection extends no further -than the United Kingdom. This has been decided by a divisional Court -in Canada in respect of the Paintings, Drawings, and Photographs -Act, 1862.[1040] The decision will apply _a fortiori_ to engravings. -Sculptures may be different, in that there is no express limit -contained in the Sculptures Act; but probably a limitation of -protection to the United Kingdom will be implied. The result is that -artistic works are only protected in the Colonies and dependencies -under local legislation. - - - - -CHAPTER X - -INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT - - -=Works first produced in His Majesty's Dominions= are protected in -those foreign countries with which there is a treaty for the mutual -protection of literary and artistic rights. These countries are the -signatories of the Berne Convention,[1041] and Austria-Hungary, with -which there is a separate treaty on similar lines. Generally it may -be presumed that each of these countries has by domestic legislation -given full effect to the international agreement, and that all works -which are protected in this country, and would have been protected if -first produced in the foreign country in question, will receive the -same protection there as would be accorded to a work first produced -in such foreign country. The protection, however, must be sought in -the foreign country and not here. The Courts of this country will not -grant any redress for the infringement of a British author's copyright -in a foreign State, even although such infringement be perpetrated by -a British subject resident in England.[1042] - -=Works first produced in foreign countries with which this country has -no treaty= are in no way protected from infringement in the United -Kingdom, unless they are produced within His Majesty's dominions -simultaneously with their production elsewhere.[1043] - -=Works first produced in foreign countries with which this country has -a treaty= are protected from infringement in His Majesty's dominions -by the domestic legislation of the United Kingdom. - -Before December 6, 1887, foreign works were protected by virtue of the -International Copyright Acts of 1844, 1852, and 1875, and numerous -Orders in Council, now revoked, giving effect to treaties with various -foreign States. As the subsequent provisions under the International -Copyright Act, 1886, are retrospective, it is unnecessary to examine -the old law in any detail. On one important point, however, it will -be necessary to mention some of the provisions of the International -Copyright Acts which were applicable before December 6, 1887, since -the subsequent legislation, in giving protection to works which were -produced before that date and were then unprotected, enacts that its -retrospective effect shall not prejudice rights and interests lawfully -acquired before it came into operation. The law before 1887 has to be -examined to determine what these rights and interests are. - -Since December 6, 1887, the rights of foreign authors in His Majesty's -dominions have depended on the provisions of the International -Copyright Acts of 1844, 1852, 1875, and 1886, the Berne Convention -of 1887, and an Order in Council of November 28, 1887. To these are -now added the Additional Act of Paris, 1896, and an Order in Council -of March 7, 1898. These may now all be read together, and apply to -all foreign works first produced in the countries to which they are -applicable. It should be mentioned here that Austria-Hungary has -a convention of its own, and in dealing with works produced there -that convention and the Orders in Council giving it effect must be -substituted for the Berne Convention and Additional Act of Paris -and the Orders in Council above mentioned. Norway has not become a -signatory of the Additional Act of Paris, and therefore in dealing -with works produced there the Berne Convention must be read as -unmodified by the Additional Act. - -It is proposed to deal here in detail with the provisions of the -Acts, Orders in Council, and treaties as they apply to the majority -of the foreign countries, _i. e._ those which are signatories of the -Berne Convention and the Additional Act of Paris. As regards Norway -and Austria-Hungary the law differs very slightly. The law applicable -to Norway can easily be ascertained by reading the Berne Convention -without the Additional Act. The law applicable to Austria-Hungary is -almost identical, except that it affords protection in the United -Kingdom and all colonies except Canada, the Cape, New South Wales, -and Tasmania, and not in the whole of His Majesty's dominions, as in -the case of the signatories to the Berne Convention. - -The countries whose works are protected in His Majesty's dominions are -as follows: - - Germany } - Belgium } - Spain } - France } - Haiti } Signatories of the Berne - Italy } Convention, 1887, and Additional - Switzerland } Act of Paris, 1896. - Tunis } - Monaco } - Luxembourg } - Japan } - Norway Signatory of the Berne Convention, 1887. - Austria-Hungary Having a separate convention, - April 24, 1893; given effect to by - Orders in Council, April 30, 1894, - and February 2, 1895. - -=What Foreign Works are entitled to Protection.=--Those works are -protected which are first produced in any of the foreign countries of -the Union, and which-- - - (_a_) Are protected by the law of the country of origin, and: - (_b_) Would have been protected in the United Kingdom - if first produced in the United Kingdom. - -_Produced._--"Produced" means, as the case requires, published or -made, or performed, or represented,[1044] or, in other words, the -act which is deemed to vest the author or publisher of the work -with exclusive rights of reproduction or publication. Thus in the -United Kingdom a book or an engraving or sculpture is produced when -it is first published. A painting is produced when it is made. A -musical or dramatic work as regards the performing right is probably -produced[1045] when it is first performed or represented. But it -would seem that, in considering when a work is produced, the law of -the foreign country or countries in question must first be inquired -into, and it will be considered to be produced in the country where an -act is done which first invests it with protection in the nature of -copyright. - -If a work is produced simultaneously in two or more countries of -the Union, it is deemed to be first produced in that country where -the term of copyright accorded to it is shortest. And if a work is -produced simultaneously in His Majesty's dominions and in one or more -of the foreign countries of the Union, and according to the above -rule is deemed to be first produced in a foreign country, it will be -protected under the International Acts and not under the Copyright -Acts applicable to works first produced in the United Kingdom, and -_vice versa_. If a work is produced simultaneously in a foreign -country not within the Union and in a foreign country within it, it -would no doubt be deemed to be first produced in the foreign country -within the Union, although there is no legislative enactment to this -effect. - -_Character of Work._--In order to obtain protection in this country, -a foreign work must be such as is protected in the country of -origin.[1046] In each case, therefore, it is necessary to inquire into -the laws of the country where the work is deemed to have been first -produced.[1047] - -The work must also be such as would have obtained protection if first -produced in the United Kingdom,[1048] and it is therefore necessary in -each case to inquire also into the law of this country.[1049] - -_Unpublished Works._--Unpublished works of foreign authors -are expressly included in the convention as works entitled to -protection.[1050] If, therefore, they are protected in the country -of origin, and would be protected if they had been the works of -British authors, they are entitled to protection within His Majesty's -dominions. In the case of unpublished works the country to which the -author belongs is considered the country of origin.[1051] - -_Special Provisions._--There is also express stipulation in the -conventions as to the inclusion of the following works: - - Posthumous works:[1052] - Authorised translations (to be protected as original works):[1053] - Photographic works and works produced by an analogous process:[1054] - Choregraphic works.[1055] - -=Works produced in Foreign Countries before December 6, 1887.=--As is -explained above the international treaties and domestic legislation -in this country are retrospective, and apply to all works whenever -produced. The International Act, 1886, sec. 6 (1),[1056] provides -that-- - - "When an Order in Council is made under the International - Copyright Acts with respect to any foreign country, the author - and publisher of any literary or artistic work first produced - before the date at which such order comes into operation, shall - be entitled to the same rights and remedies as if the said Acts - and this Act and the said Order had applied to the said foreign - country at the date of the said production." - -The Berne Convention, article 14, provides that-- - - "The present convention applies to all works which at the moment - of its coming into force have not yet fallen into the public - domain in the country of origin."[1057] - -It was suggested that these retrospective provisions only applied -to works produced between the date of the Act of 1886 and December -6, 1887, _i. e._ the date at which the Order in Council of November -28, 1887, came into operation.[1058] Charles, J., however, refused -to accept such a construction, and said that he felt no doubt that -section 6 of the International Copyright Act, 1886, applied to all -literary and artistic works produced before the date at which the -Order in Council came into operation, whether they were produced -before or after the passing of the Act.[1059] - -In _Lauri_ v. _Renad_[1060] it was held by the Court of Appeal that -when under the older law a right of translation in this country had -existed, and had expired by lapse of time, the Act of 1886 would -not operate to revive such a right, even although the rights of -reproduction and translation still subsisted in the country of origin. -This is generally thought to be an unsound decision, as the proper -test in such cases is whether the right has fallen into the public -domain, not in this country but in the country of origin. - -=Formalities required in case of Foreign Works.--= - -_In the Country of Origin_-- - - All such formalities must be observed as are necessary to entitle - to protection under the domestic law of such country.[1061] - -_In the United Kingdom_-- - - 1. Registration or delivery of copies to the libraries is - unnecessary.[1062] - 2. Musical works must bear a notice of reservation on - each authorised copy, otherwise the performing - right will be lost.[1063] - 3. Whether other formalities such as name and date - of publication on an engraving,[1064] name and date on - sculpture,[1065] are necessary _quaere_. - -Before 1886 registration and delivery of copies of a foreign work -was required by the Act of 1844[1066] and various Orders in Council -in pursuance thereof. The Act of 1886, however, enacts[1067] that -the provisions of the Act of 1844 as to registration and delivery -shall not apply to works produced in a foreign country except in so -far as provided by the Order in Council referring thereto. The Order -in Council of 1887[1068] makes no provision as to registration and -delivery, and revokes all the previous Orders in Council which did. -In _Fishburn_ v. _Hollingshead_[1069] the question came before the -Court whether since 1886 any registration or delivery was necessary. -Stirling, J., held that although none of the formalities prescribed by -the International Copyright Act of 1844[1070] need be observed, yet -a foreign work must comply with the provisions of the Copyright Acts -as to registration and delivery applicable to works first produced -in this country. His _ratio decidendi_ was that a foreign work was -only entitled to the protection afforded to natives,[1071] and the -Act of 1844[1072] provided that all and singular the enactments of -the Copyright Acts in this country should apply to foreign works in -such and the same manner as if such works were published in the United -Kingdom. Charles, J., in _Hanfstaengl_ v. _Holloway_[1073] differed -from this view, and finally the Court of Appeal in _Hanfstaengl_ -v. _American Tobacco Company_[1074] held that no registration in -this country was necessary. The ground of this decision is that the -enactments of 1844 as to registration of foreign works superseded the -enactments of 1842, and when the provisions of 1844 were repealed the -provisions of 1842 did not revive. This reasoning, which appears to be -undoubtedly sound, applies equally to the provisions as to delivery -of copies. It does not, however, apply to the question whether such -formalities as the name and date of publication on an engraving are -necessary. At present the position seems to be this. The reasoning of -Stirling, J., in _Fishburn_ v. _Hollingshead_[1075] equally applies -to the formalities as to name and date on engravings and sculpture as -it does to registration and delivery. The judgment of Stirling, J., -was overruled in _Hanfstaengl_ v. _American Tobacco Company_[1076] -in the Court of Appeal, but on grounds which do not apply to these -formalities. As to them, therefore, the judgment of Stirling, J., -stands. It is very doubtful whether this is the correct view of the -law, but it is submitted that until _Fishburn_ v. _Hollingshead_[1077] -is further overruled the law is that formalities under heading 3 -_supra_ are necessary. In _Avanzo_ v. _Mudie_[1078] it was held that -a foreign print could not claim copyright under 7 & 8 Vict. c. 12, -unless the date and name were engraved thereon as required by 8 Geo. -II. c. 13. Mr. Scrutton, whose opinion in these matters carries great -weight, thinks that these formalities are not required.[1079] As a -matter of expediency they should always be observed where practicable. - -=Who are entitled to sue in respect of a Foreign Work.=--The author of -a foreign work or his assignee is probably entitled to sue in the case -of all foreign works which are protected in this country.[1080] - -The publisher of a foreign work published anonymously or -pseudonymously is entitled to sue if his name is indicated on the -work.[1081] - -=Evidence of Title.=--Where the name of the author is indicated on a -foreign work or in the case of an anonymous or pseudonymous work the -name of the publisher, such author or publisher is, in the absence -of proof that he is disentitled, entitled to sue in respect of such -foreign work.[1082] - -An extract from a register, or a certificate or other document -authenticated by the official seal or signature of a minister of -state of the foreign country of origin, or of a British diplomatic or -consular officer, lawfully acting in such foreign country, is admitted -as _prima facie_ evidence of the owner of the copyright.[1083] - -=Protection afforded to Foreign Works.=--Generally a foreign work is -accorded-- - - 1. The same right of copyright and during the same period - as if the work had been first produced in the United - Kingdom:[1084] but - 2. No greater right or longer term of protection than it - enjoys in the country of origin.[1085] - -Section 10 of the International Copyright Act, 1844,[1086] provides -that all copies of foreign books in which there is copyright under the -International Acts, if printed or reprinted in any foreign country -_except the country of origin_, shall not be imported into the -British dominions without the consent of the proprietor. It has been -held,[1087] however, that this section does not supply a complete code -as to the importation of copies of a foreign book, and that copies -printed in the country of origin will also be prohibited in the same -way as if the book had been first published in the United Kingdom. -Section 3 of the International Copyright Act, 1844, applies to foreign -works, _inter alia_, the provisions 5 & 6 Vict., sections 15 and 17, -which prohibit the importation of any copies printed outside the -British dominions. Section 10 was held not to curtail the general -application in section 3 of the provisions of the Copyright Act, 1842, -to foreign books. - -As to certain foreign works which are dealt with below, there is -express provision in the International legislation which results in -giving such foreign works a narrower right or shorter term than they -would have if first published in this country. Where there is no -express limitation, the above general rules apply. The law of both the -country of origin and of the United Kingdom must be examined, and the -right given will be limited according to the law which affords least -protection. Where, however, according to this rule there is a right, -the Courts here will give the same remedies as they would extend to -the author of a work first published in the United Kingdom. Thus -in _Baschet_ v. _London Illustrated Standard_,[1088] Kekewich, J., -refused to consider whether a French Court would or would not award -penalties for infringement. - -_Works published before December 6, 1887_, are protected, except in so -far as such protection may prejudice rights or interests arising from -or in connection with works lawfully produced before, and subsisting -and valuable at, that date.[1089] - -This limitation is introduced by the retrospective section of the Act -of 1886, which enacts that-- - - "Where any person has before the date of the publication of an - Order in Council lawfully produced any work in the United Kingdom, - nothing in this section shall diminish or prejudice any rights or - interests arising from, or in connection with, such production - which are subsisting and valuable at the said date." - -The following are some of the classes of literary or artistic works -which were not protected before 1886 but to which the retrospective -section and its saving clause applies: - - i. Works not registered in this country under the International - Copyright Act, 1844, section 6.[1090] - ii. Works which had not acquired the translating right - under the International Copyright Act, 1852, sections 2, 4, 8. - iii. Dramatic works, as to the liberty to make fair imitations - or adaptations to the English stage under the - International Copyright Act, 1852, section 6. - -"Lawfully Produced" means that the work has been produced without -contravening any right existing at the date of its production.[1091] - -"Rights" and "Interests" are to be distinguished, the latter word -bearing a wider interpretation than the former. Right does not mean -the right to reproduce in common with all mankind, but right in the -strict legal sense of the term under the English Copyright Acts, -_i. e._ an exclusive right of property. - -When any capital has been embarked in the production of a work, -and the publisher depends on the sale of copies in stock or on -the proceeds of a future edition to recoup himself for his outlay, -there is clearly an interest although there may be no right. Where -a bandmaster had purchased a copy of a French musical composition -and instructed his band to perform it, he was held to have such an -interest as would entitle him to continue performing it after the -French composer had acquired protection under the Act of 1886.[1092] -Even where no capital has been embarked, if the publisher has a -special interest as distinct from the rest of the public in the -reproduction of the work, he has an interest within the meaning of -the section.[1093] Thus where a firm had adopted a German picture -as a trade mark for their candles, they were held to have such an -interest in the reproduction as would constitute a good defence to an -action for infringement of copyright acquired under the retrospective -operation of the Act of 1886.[1094] It has been suggested that not -only the interests of the lawful producer will be safeguarded, but -also interests arising in a third person from or in connection with -such production, and this seems to be sound.[1095] - -_Translating Right_ expires if not exercised within ten years. - -The exclusive right of translation is expressly given to the foreign -author by the Act of 1886 and the Additional Act of Paris for the -full term of his copyright in the original work, but if an authorised -translation in the English language is not published after the -expiration of ten years next after the end of the year in which -the work was first produced the translating right of the author -shall cease.[1096] If a book is published in numbers, the ten years -run from the date of publication of the last part.[1097] When a -book is composed of a number of volumes, each volume is considered -as a separate work.[1098] A translation in order to preserve the -translating right must be full and substantial.[1099] A translation -might be such as, if made without the consent of the author, would -constitute a piracy, and yet not be such a translation as is required -by the Act-- - - "What is required is that the English people should have the - opportunity of knowing the foreign work as accurately as it is - possible to know a foreign work by the medium of a version in - English."[1100] - -_Articles in Newspapers and Periodicals._[1101]--Articles, not being -serial stories or tales, appearing in a newspaper or periodical in a -foreign country, may be republished or translated in a newspaper or -periodical in this country without the consent of the owner of the -copyright, provided-- - - (_a_) In the case of articles of political discussion, the news - of the day, or miscellaneous information, the source - from which the same is taken be acknowledged. - (_b_) In the case of articles relating to any other subject, - the source from which the same is taken be acknowledged, - and the author has not signified his intention - in a conspicuous part of the newspaper or periodical - of preserving the copyright and right of translation. - -_Photographic Works._--The Additional Act of Paris runs as -follows: "It is understood that an authorised photograph of a work of -art shall enjoy legal protection in all the countries of the Union, as -contemplated by the Berne Convention, and by the present Additional -Act, for the same period as the principal right of reproduction of the -work itself subsists, and within the limits of private arrangements -between those who have legal rights."[1102] - -It would seem, therefore, that photographs of protected works of art -are not protected as original works, and that, whenever produced, -their protection stands and falls with the right in the original work. -Other photographs, including photographs of unprotected works of art, -are protected as original works. - -_Performing Right in Dramatic or Dramatic Musical Works._--Exclusive -performing right in dramatic or dramatico-musical works subsists -during the existence of the exclusive right of translation. If -the translating right is allowed to fall into the public domain -by non-exercise within ten years, the performing right falls with -it.[1103] - -There is not now as formerly any right in the public to make fair -imitations or adaptations to the English stage.[1104] - -_Express Provision as to Particular Kinds of Infringement._--The -Berne Convention, article 8, provides that the question of the right -of extract is to be decided by the legislation of the different -countries of the Union, or by special arrangement between them. -There is no special arrangement as to this with the United Kingdom, -therefore the law as to extract and quotation applicable to works -produced in this country applies. - -Article 10 of the Berne Convention enacts that indirect appropriations -such as adaptations and arrangements are included among illicit -reproductions when they do not bear the character of original work. -Here also, therefore, the law is similar to that applicable to works -produced in this country. - - - - -CHAPTER XI - -COMMON LAW - - -As to works which have been published within the meaning of the -Copyright Acts, the common law affords no protection in the nature -of copyright, that is to say, as regards the exclusive right of -reproduction, the author must rely entirely on the statutes. There -is no copyright at common law after the expiration of the period -prescribed by statute,[1105] neither is there any greater right -during that period than the statute gives.[1106] Common law remedies, -however, may be applied when the statute gives a right without a -sufficient remedy.[1107] But apart altogether from rights in the -nature of copyright, the principles of common law and equity do apply -to both published and unpublished works to prevent or to remedy the -consequences of fraud or breach of contract. - -As to works which have been composed[1108] but have not been -published, the common law affords protection to the author against -reproduction or interference of any kind.[1109] - -The rights and remedies at common law are perpetual, and are neither -limited in duration nor as regards the time within which action must -be brought, except in so far as the general rules of equity as to -acquiescence and delay or the statutes of limitation may be applicable. - -=Title: Passing off.=--_No Copyright in Title._--There is no -copyright in a title consisting, as a title usually does, of only a -few words. Thus _Belgravia_,[1110] _Sporting Life_,[1111] "Splendid -Misery,"[1112] _The Licensed Victuallers' Mirror_,[1113] and "The -Post Office Directory,"[1114] have all been decided not to be the -subject of copyright. In two decisions "The Birthday Scripture -Text-Book"[1115] and "Trial and Triumph"[1116] (as the title of a -novel) were protected on the ground of copyright in title, but since -_Dicks_ v. _Yates_[1117] in which these two decisions were cited, -and in so far as they were based on a claim of copyright in title, -disapproved, no such claim could be entertained, and the exclusive -user of a title will only be protected on the general principles of -common law and equity which prevent one man passing off his wares as -those of another man. As was pointed out by Jessel, M. R., in _Dicks_ -v. _Yates_,[1118] it is conceivable that there might be a title in -which there was copyright; for instance, if it was extremely long and -elaborate, but since _Dicks_ v. _Yates_ there is no case in the books -where a title has been protected on the ground of copyright. - -_Whether Protection is based on a Right of Property in the -Title._--The great bulk of authority is to the effect that the right -to prevent others passing off their literary works under the same -or a similar title does depend on a right of property in the title -as applied to a particular class of work, which right can only be -acquired by user.[1119] This right is regarded as a chattel interest -capable of assignment,[1120] and may be a partnership asset.[1121] -In _Walter_ v. _Emmott_,[1122] however, Cotton and Bowen, L. JJ., -expressed a strong opinion that the right to prevent a deceitful use -of title was not founded on a right of property in the title, but -on the ground of deceit alone. It is submitted that the plaintiff -in an action of this kind need not prove deceit on the part of the -defendant, and that the right is strictly a proprietary right which -must have been acquired by user before the Court will intervene. - -_Knowledge of Existence and Value on part of the Public._--This is -necessary before an author or proprietor of a literary or artistic -work can acquire a right to the exclusive use of a title in connexion -with works of a certain class. It is not sufficient that the title of -a proposed book or magazine has been extensively advertised or that it -has been registered, even although great expenditure has been incurred -in the preparation and advertisement.[1123] Any one, it would seem, -can seize the opportunity of another's advertisements and bring out -a similar book under the same or a similar title, either before the -publication of that other's book or immediately after its publication, -and before it became known to the public as an actually existing -publication which they have had an opportunity of reading and forming -an opinion of on its merits. The sale of a few copies only will not -establish a common law right in title.[1124] Not only must the work -be well known to the public, but it must also be distinctively known -under the title in which a proprietary right is claimed.[1125] - -No right can be acquired by attaching an original title to an old -work in which the publisher has no proprietary right. In _Talbot_ -v. _Judges_[1126] the plaintiffs published a work in which they had -no copyright of any kind under a title of their own invention, "The -Liberal and Radical Year-Book." The defendant published a similar -work, intituled "The Liberal Year-Book." It was held that they were -entitled to do so, as the plaintiffs could have no right in the title -when the material was in no sense their own. - -_Non-user of title_ for a considerable period will leave it open -to others to adopt the same title and to acquire a right therein -to the exclusion of the original user,[1127] but no representation -must be made, express or implied, that the subsequent publication -is a continuation of the first. If the proprietor of a magazine -incorporates it with another publication, such as the _John Bull_ with -the _Britannia_, and intitules the future publication with a joint -name such as the _John Bull and Britannia_, he can prevent any taking -of the original titles either _simpliciter_ or colourably altered, as, -for instance, _The True Britannia_.[1128] - -_No Fraud need be Proved._--When the exclusive right to a title has -been established, an innocent invasion is equally as actionable as one -tainted with fraud or intent to deceive.[1129] It is a question what -the public are likely to believe, not what it was intended they should -believe. - -_Must be Calculated to Deceive._--The question is whether the man -of ordinary intelligence is likely to be deceived, and purchase the -later publication while intending to purchase the original. It is not -sufficient to show that some thoughtless or stupid people have made -mistakes and taken the one for the other.[1130] The exclusive right to -the use of a title only extends so far as to prevent the whole or any -part of the title being used in such a way as to deceive the public, -to the injury of the proprietor of the title. Thus a part of the -title may be taken and so used in conjunction with other words, that -there can be no possibility of confusion, or the whole title may be -taken and used for an entirely different class of work, or otherwise -put before the public in such a way that mistake is practically -impossible. Thus in questions of passing off, besides the similarity -of title, the result depends on the peculiar circumstances under which -the works are produced: the time and place of publication, appearance, -such as similarity in print and binding and price, may all be of vital -importance. - -_Cases in which an Injunction was Granted._--In _Hogg_ v. -_Kirby_[1131] the defendant was interested in the sale and profits -of a magazine called _The Wonderful Magazine_. A dispute arose -between him and the proprietor of the magazine, and the defendant -thereupon published a magazine under the same title, described as _New -Series Improved_. This publication was restrained. In _Constable_ -v. _Brewster_,[1132] a Scotch case, an interdict was granted on -very similar facts. In _Chappell_ v. _Sheard_[1133] the plaintiffs -published a song, the words of which were original, but set to an old -American air, "Lillie Dale," in which there was no copyright. This -song had become popular, and was sung at concerts by a Madame Thillon. -The plaintiffs published their song under the title of "'Minnie,' -sung by Madame Anna Thillon, written by George Linley," and the cover -bore a lithographed drawing of Madame Thillon. The defendants set -other words to the same air and published it as "Minnie Dale," sung -by Madame Thillon, and their cover also bore a portrait of Madame -Thillon. The defendants' song had, in fact, never been sung by Madame -Thillon. An injunction was granted. In _Chappell_ v. _Davidson_[1134] -the same song was similarly pirated by one intituled "Minnie, -dear Minnie," and an injunction was also granted. In _Prowett_ v. -_Mortimer_[1135] _The True Britannia_ was restrained as tending to -interfere with the sale of the plaintiff's paper, _The John Bull -and Britannia_, which had incorporated the plaintiff's previous -publication, _The Britannia_. In _Clement_ v. _Maddick_[1136] the -plaintiff owned a sporting periodical paper, intituled _Bell's Life_. -The defendants were restrained from publishing a similar paper under -the title, _Penny Bell's Life_. In both publications the name Bell was -entirely pseudonymous. In _Ingram_ v. _Stiff_[1137] the defendant was -the proprietor of a weekly paper, _The London Journal_, and assigned -all his interest therein to the plaintiff, covenanting not to publish -any rival weekly paper. Two years afterwards the defendant published a -daily newspaper, _The Daily London Journal_. The Court restrained him -from continuing the publication, but their judgment seems to have gone -on the ground of breach of covenant. In _Clowes_ v. _Hogg_[1138] the -proprietors of _London Society_ were held entitled to an injunction -against _English Society_, but this was also on the ground of a -covenant between the parties. In _Corns_ v. _Griffiths_[1139] the -plaintiff published a weekly newspaper under the title, "_Iron Trade -Circular_ (Ryland's)." The defendant had for some considerable time -published a weekly report headed "_The Iron Trade_ (Griffith's Weekly -Report)," but changed his title to "_The Iron Trade Circular_ -(edited by Samuel Griffiths)," and published it in type and form very -similar to the plaintiff's newspaper. The defendant's publication -was restrained. In _Metzler_ v. _Wood_[1140] the plaintiffs were the -publishers of "Henry's Royal Modern Tutor for the Pianoforte." This -work had a very large sale. The defendants took an old work, intituled -"Jousie's Royal Standard Pianoforte Tutor," which had entirely fallen -into disuse, and employed Henry to revise it, and then published it as -"Henry's New and Revised Edition of Jousie's Royal Standard Pianoforte -Tutor." In both publications the word "Henry's" was published in large -letters, and was more conspicuous than any other part of the title. -The Court granted an injunction. James, L. J., in his judgment, said: - - "The defendants' title-page was calculated to deceive, and I - cannot conceive any reasonable theory to explain the defendants - taking an obsolete work, getting it revised by Mr. Henry, and - putting Henry's name as the prominent and striking distinguishing - mark of his work except that he intended to do that which the name - was calculated to do, viz., to mislead the public into believing - that when they were buying the defendants' work they were buying - the plaintiffs'. If it was so calculated to mislead, the case of - the plaintiffs is made out." - -_Cases where an Injunction was Refused._--In _Spottiswoode_ v. -_Clarke_[1141] Lord Cottenham, L. C., refused an interlocutory -injunction in a case of two Pictorial Almanacks, where the covers were -very similar and could hardly have been so accidentally. In a similar -case to-day an injunction would probably have gone. In _Jarrold_ v. -_Houlston_[1142] an injunction was refused to the author of "Why and -Because," in respect of a similar work intituled "The Reason Why." -There was no such similarity or colourable imitation in the title as -to support the claim. In _Bradbury_ v. _Beeton_[1143] the proprietors -of _Punch_ craved an injunction against _Punch and Judy_. There was, -however, no evidence that any one had been misled, and although the -papers were similar in size and general appearance, the colour of -the paper was slightly different, and the design on the cover was -entirely different. Malins, V. C., refused an injunction. In _Kelly_ v. -_Byles_[1144] the plaintiff had published numerous directories called -"post office" directories. Among them was "The Post Office Directory -of the West Riding of Yorkshire." An injunction was refused against -the defendant who proposed to issue a directory under the title "Post -Office Bradford Directory." The publications in no way resembled one -another. The plaintiff claimed that he had acquired an exclusive -use to the words "post office" in connection with a directory. It -was held that he could have no such exclusive right. In _Dicks_ v. -_Yates_[1145] a serial story, entitled "Splendid Misery, or East End -and West End, by C. H. Hazlewood," was being published in a magazine -called _Every Week_. Another weekly, _The World_, commenced a serial -story intituled "Splendid Misery, by the Author of Lady Audley's -Secret, Vivian, &c." The two weekly papers were of an entirely -different character, and it was held that there was nothing in the -publication of the serial story in _The World_ which was calculated to -deceive. In _Cowen_ v. _Hulton_[1146] the plaintiff was proprietor of -_The Newcastle Weekly Chronicle_ and _The Newcastle Daily Chronicle_. -He claimed an exclusive right to the use of the word "Chronicle" in -connection with newspapers in Newcastle, and craved an injunction -against the sale in Newcastle of _The Sporting Chronicle_. The Court -of Appeal, reversing the decision of North, J., refused an injunction. -In _Walter_ v. _Emmott_[1147] _The Mail_ was published three days -a week at 11 A. M., price twopence. The Court refused an injunction -against _The Morning Mail_, price one halfpenny. Both papers were -published in London. In _Borthwick_ v. _The Evening Post_[1148] the -proprietors of _The Morning Post_ claimed an injunction against _The -Evening Post_. The Court was of opinion that there was no probability -of injury to _The Morning Post_ since the papers were not competing -papers. Bowen, L. J., in his judgment, said: - - "He must be an extremely unintelligent person if he thinks - that the _Evening Post_, which disclaims all connection with - the _Morning Post_, and writes upon different topics and in a - different style, is connected with the _Morning Post_. The idea - would explode itself before he got half-way through the first - page." - -The injunction was refused. The commonest form of passing off is -by means of a similar title and binding, but any act which induces -the public to believe that A's book is the book of B is equally -actionable, and will be sustained. Thus for A to announce his book as -a continuation of B's book,[1149] or in any other way to so advertise -it as to induce the public to believe that it is B's work[1150] is -actionable. - -=Malicious Criticism.=--It would be actionable to publish of an -author's work that which was obviously untrue; for instance, that it -was an immoral or a libellous work, when no suggestion of immorality -or libel could be found in it. Apart from absolute falsehood of this -kind there is no limit to the range of criticism;[1151] a man is -entitled to form what opinion he pleases of another's work, and to -publish these opinions. So long as he confines himself to the work -criticised and the author thereof as author, he has very full liberty -of saying what he thinks. - -It may be actionable to say that a man is the author of a work which -is not his. The offence if anything would be defamation of the -author.[1152] - -=Slander of Title.=--No doubt an action would lie against any one -publishing statements in disparagement of the owner's right to a -literary or artistic work.[1153] Special damage is of the essence of -such an action. - -=Author who has parted with Copyright is entitled to protect his -Reputation.=--Although a purchaser of copyright may do what he -pleases with what he has purchased, he may not mutilate an artistic -or literary work and present it to the public in its mutilated form -as the work of the original author. The copyright in a law book -was purchased by a bookseller. The author refused to edit a third -edition, and the bookseller had the necessary alterations made for -himself. The third edition was then published without any notice -that it was prepared by any one other than the author. It contained -numerous errors. In an action by the author against the bookseller, -Lord Tenterden, C. J., in summing up, put it to the jury that if they -were of opinion that the third edition would be understood by those -who bought it to have been prepared by the plaintiff, the plaintiff -was entitled to a verdict; but if they were of opinion that persons -using reasonable care would think that this third edition was not -prepared by the plaintiff, their verdict should be for the defendant. -The jury returned a verdict of five pounds for the plaintiff.[1154] -The nature of the remedy is really an action for the defamation of the -plaintiff's reputation as an author. The Court is slow to grant an -interlocutory injunction in such an action. No doubt it would be done -in an extreme case, for instance, if the owner of performing rights -in a play inserted indecent or scandalous matter without the consent -of the author, but the Court prefers to have the legal question as to -whether the altered version is injurious to the plaintiff's reputation -tried first. In _Cox_ v. _Cox_[1155] the plaintiff had written a legal -article for the purpose of insertion in the defendant's book. The -defendant revised and shortened the article to a considerable extent, -and the plaintiff applied for an injunction in Chancery to restrain -the defendant from publishing the article in its mutilated form. Page -Wood, V. C., refused an injunction, and, in his judgment, said: - - "In respect to what was said about the plaintiff's reputation - suffering from having the legal matter supplied by him published - in a mutilated and erroneous form, according to Sir J. Clark's - case,[1156] the loss of reputation, unless connected with - property, was not a ground for coming to this Court, though it - might be an ingredient for the Court to consider when there was - property." - -One might almost infer from this judgment that if the plaintiff had -parted with his property no right of action lay for injury to his -reputation. It must be observed, however, that this was a claim for an -injunction in equity, and the judgment of Lord Tenterden in _Archbold_ -v. _Sweet_[1157] was not referred to. That and the subsequent cases -make it clear that there is a right of action on the ground of injury -to reputation alone, and that in urgent cases the Court will interfere -by interlocutory injunction. In _Gilbert_ v. _Boosey_[1158] the owner -of a performing right in an opera inserted without the permission of -the author two songs, and one of the author's songs was left out. The -opera was advertised and performed _simpliciter_ as the plaintiff's -opera without any mention of alterations. On an application for an -interlocutory injunction, Denman, J., refused to interfere at such an -early stage, but he intimated that if the songs had been indecent or -such as would obviously damage the plaintiff's reputation, he might -have granted an injunction. In _Lee_ v. _Gibbings_[1159] the defendant -had acquired the copyright in the plaintiff's "Autobiography of -Edward, Lord Herbert of Cherbury." He published a condensed edition, -on the title-page of which the plaintiff was stated _simpliciter_ to -be the author. The plaintiff alleged that the work was unscholarly -and injurious to his reputation, and craved an interim injunction. -Kekewich, J., refused the motion. The plaintiff's remedy, he said, -was founded on libel by reason of the injury to his reputation. Of -late years there had been no such thing as an injunction to restrain -a libel (except in the case of a trade libel) on an interlocutory -application or before the point had been submitted to a jury. He saw -no reason for making an exception in the case before him, and he would -express no opinion as to whether there was a libel or not. - -The Court would restrain one who published a book falsely representing -that it was the work of another.[1160] - -=Protection from Breach of Faith or Contract.=--The relationship -of parties may give rise to rights and obligations in reference -to literary or artistic matter which could not exist as between -strangers. Such rights and obligations are supported on the various -grounds of express contract, implied contract, and breach of faith. -As to express contract there is little difficulty, the ordinary rules -of contract will apply. As to implied contract or breach of faith, -these are really the same, only common law based its remedy on the -former and equity on the latter. It usually arises in the case of a -clerk or other employee between whom and the employer a confidential -relationship exists. As regards employees, the law stated briefly is -this, that during his employment he must do nothing which is contrary -to the interests of his employer; he may not in any way assist in -the production of literary or artistic work which may compete with -the work of his employer. After the termination of his employment, -apart from express contract, he is entitled to compete with his late -employer, and for that purpose may make use of the general knowledge -and information which he acquired in his employment: but he may not -for such purpose use any materials such as documents, notes, printing -blocks, &c., which he acquired in his capacity of employee and _a -fortiori_ if he acquired them surreptitiously. - -In _Jovatt_ v. _Winyard_[1161] a veterinary surgeon employed a -journeyman for the purpose of selling his medicine. While in such -service the journeyman surreptitiously got access to his books of -recipes and copied them. It was held that there was a breach of -trust, and the journeyman was restrained from selling the medicines -or printing or selling printed directions for their use. In _Prince -Albert_ v. _Strange_[1162] a workman, who was entrusted by the -Prince Consort with certain plates for the purpose of reproducing -privately drawings which had from time to time been made by Queen -Victoria and the Prince Consort, in breach of the trust reposed in -him sold impressions to the defendant, who published a descriptive -catalogue of the drawings. Knight Bruce, V. C., granted an injunction -against the publication of the catalogue. In _Reuter's Telegram -Co._ v. _Byron_[1163] the defendants had for some time acted as -agents in Australia of the plaintiff company, sending on and -receiving telegraphic messages on their behalf. In the course of -this agency they became acquainted with the cypher used by many of -the company's customers. On the termination of their employment the -defendants started a rival telegram business and sent circulars to -the plaintiffs' customers, mentioning that they had their cyphers. On -a motion to restrain the defendants from making use of the list of -cyphers acquired in the plaintiffs' employment, Jessel, M. R., refused -an interim injunction. He said: - - "The Court will always restrain a man from publishing or divulging - that which has been communicated to him in confidence. But this - is a totally different case. The plaintiffs do not here seek to - restrain the defendants from publishing anything but from making - use of knowledge acquired while the relation of principal and - agent subsisted after that relation terminated." - -In _Lamb_ v. _Evans_[1164] the defendants had been employed by the -plaintiff as canvasser for his trade directory. On the termination -of their employment they published a rival directory and made -use of blocks and notes which they had acquired in the plaintiff's -employment. The Court held that this was an improper use -for the defendants to make of materials so acquired. Bowen, -L. J., in his judgment, said: - - "It is not a question of copyright--that must be kept out of sight - altogether--nor is it, on the other hand, a simple question of - the absolute property at law in the documents themselves or in - the blocks themselves. It is a question of whether the plaintiff, - whatever the property in the documents may be or whatever the - property in the materials may be, has not sufficient special - property in them to entitle him to restrain the use of them - against him when they had been obtained for his use by his agents - in the course of their employment. That depends entirely, I think, - on the terms upon which the employment was constituted, through - which the fiduciary relation of principal and agent came into - existence." - -In commenting on _Reuter's Telegram Co._ v. _Byron_, the same judge -said: - - "I think if Reuter's case is to be judged by the result, it no - doubt is right--and Sir George Jessel was generally right--but I - do not think that the propositions reported in the _Law Journal_ - as laid down by him can be considered to be sound. It seems to me - that as a matter at law or as a matter of equity, the conduct of - the defendants in that case cannot be justified to the extent to - which the learned judge is made by the report to justify it. If - Reuter's case is cited as an authority for the propositions which - the Master of the Rolls is there stated to have laid down, I am - not prepared to follow it." - -In _Merryweather_ v. _Moore_[1165] a clerk while in the employment -of a firm of engine-makers had made a table of dimensions of various -types of engines. After he had left their employment he was restrained -from publishing or communicating the table or its contents to any one. -In _Louie_ v. _Smellie_[1166] the plaintiff carried on a business -as a process server, the defendant while in his employment secretly -made extracts from the plaintiff's register and index of agents and -copies of the plaintiff's forms. He was restrained from making use of -such extracts in competition with the plaintiff after he had left his -employment and set up as a process server on his own account. Lindley, -L. J., in his judgment, said: - - "As to the law it has been clearly laid down in _Lamb_ v. _Evans_. - It is not new law, it is as old as the hills. The good faith that - existed between employer and employed rendered it improper for the - employed to make use of any information acquired by him during the - period of the confidential relationship." - -The injunction was granted in these terms: - - "An injunction to restrain the defendant, his servants, and agents - from making use of any copies or extracts from the plaintiff's - register of agents, or index of agents, or any memoranda made or - obtained by the defendant when in the plaintiff's employ relating - to any person named in these books or either of them." - -In _Robb_ v. _Green_,[1167] the defendant having been employed as -manager of the plaintiff's business, secretly copied a list of the -names and addresses of his customers. On leaving the plaintiff's -employment he set up a similar business, but was restrained from -making use of the list of his late master's customers. In _Gilbert_ v. -_Star Newspaper_[1168] the members of a theatrical company taking part -in the rehearsal of a new opera were held to be under an obligation -not to disclose any information concerning it until it should be -publicly performed, and the Court restrained a critique published in a -daily newspaper on the ground that the material for it must have been -unlawfully procured. - -In these cases it is not only the party who is in breach of contract -or confidential relationship that will be restrained. The Court will -restrain any one who, knowing how the material has been acquired, -makes use of it.[1169] In _Tipping_ v. _Clarke_,[1170] Wigram, V. C., -said that if the defendant availed himself surreptitiously of the -information which he could not have had except from a person guilty of -a breach of contract in communicating it, he could not be permitted -to avail himself of such breach of contract. In _Abernethy_ v. -_Hutchinson_,[1171] Lord Eldon said: - - "How the gentleman who had published the letters came by them he - did not know; but whether an action would be maintained against - them or not on the footing of implied contract, an injunction - undoubtedly might be granted, because if there had been a breach - of contract on the part of the pupil who heard these lectures, - and if the pupil could not publish for profit, to do so would - certainly be what this Court would call a fraud upon a third - party." - -Thus in _Prince Albert_ v. _Strange_[1172] the defendant obtained -the information from the person in whom the plaintiff's confidence -was placed, and was on that account restrained. In the _Exchange -Telegraph Co._ v. _Central News_[1173] the Court restrained a third -party from publishing information which he had obtained by inducing a -subscriber to the Telegraph Company to break his contract. If there -has been a breach of contract or trust the Court will assume a guilty -knowledge in the case of a third person, who, being in possession -of the material, cannot give any satisfactory explanation.[1174] -If a third party acquire innocently and for value materials or -information originally procured in breach of trust or contract, it -seems questionable, apart from any absolute right in the plaintiff, -such as a right to manuscript, whether he can be restrained from -making use of them in any publication. If the original act amounts to -fraud or crime, certainly the Court will not protect even an innocent -purchaser. "Let the hand receiving it be ever so chaste, if it comes -through such a corrupt and polluted channel, the obligation of -restitution must follow."[1175] But if the original act amounted to no -more than breach of confidence or contract, it may be different, and a -purchaser for value and without notice may be excused.[1176] The point -must be considered doubtful.[1177] The ground of action on breach -of faith or contract may sometimes exist concurrently with a ground -of action on copyright, and may be useful if there are any technical -difficulties in the plaintiff's way as to copyright.[1178] - -=Unpublished Works.=--The author and his assignees have the right -of first publication; this right at common law is unaffected by the -Copyright Acts, and is a right in perpetuity. The right in literary -matter in manuscript is clearly one of property, and is independent -of any confidential or contractual relation between the author and -those who interfere with his property without authority. "It cannot," -said Lord Halsbury in _Caird_ v. _Sime_,[1179] "be denied that in -the present state of the law an author has a proprietary right in -his unpublished literary productions." An author may choose his own -time to publish or may choose never to publish at all, and he may -proceed against any one who attempts to publish or otherwise deals -without his authority with his unpublished work. This was definitely -decided in _Donaldson_ v. _Beckett_[1180] when the question among -others was put to the judges: "Whether at common law an author of any -book or literary composition had the sole right of first printing or -publishing the same for sale; and might bring an action against any -person who printed, published, and sold the same without his consent?" -Ten out of eleven judges consulted answered that there was such a -right, and eight of them that an action lay in cases of infringement. -Two of the judges, however, were of opinion that an action lay against -an infringer only when the manuscript had been obtained by fraud -or violence. Only one judge held that there was no right of first -publication. In _Prince Albert_ v. _Strange_[1181] Lord Cottenham, -L. C., considered the law as well settled and beyond dispute. He says: - - "The property of an author or composer of any work, whether of - literature, art, or science, in such work unpublished and kept for - his private use or pleasure, cannot be disputed after the many - decisions in which the proposition has been affirmed or assumed." - -The right of an author to his unpublished work is of a much wider and -more exclusive nature than his right to published matter. It probably -extends to prohibit any kind of interference whatsoever.[1182] The -public have not the right of "fair use" comment and criticism which -they have in a published work. In _Prince Albert_ v. _Strange_ Knight -Bruce, V. C.,[1183] says: - - "A work lawfully published in the popular sense of the term stands - in this respect, I conceive, differently from a work which has - never been in that situation. The former may be liable to be - translated, abridged, analysed, exhibited in morsels, complimented - and otherwise treated in a manner that the latter is not." - -The reason that private documents of a man should be protected from -any interference whatsoever is sufficiently obvious. "A man," says -Knight Bruce, V. C., in the same case,[1184] "may employ himself in -private in a manner very harmless, but which disclosed to society -may destroy the comfort of his life or even his success in it." In -_Miller_ v. _Taylor_[1185] Yates, J., expresses the principle of the -common law protection: - - "Ideas are free. But while the author confines them to his study - they are like birds in a cage which none but he can have a right - to let fly; for till he thinks proper to emancipate them they are - under his own dominion. It is certain every man has a right to - keep his own sentiments if he pleases: he has certainly a right - to judge whether he will make them public or commit them only - to the sight of his friends. In that state the manuscript is in - every sense his peculiar property, and no man can take it from him - or make any use of it which he has not authorised without being - guilty of a violation of his property." - -The common law right in manuscript ceases upon "communication to -the public" with the consent of the author,[1186] but it may still -continue notwithstanding some kind of communication to others. The -communication in order to divest the owner of common law right must -be an abandonment of his ideas and words to the use of the public at -large. Representation on the stage, delivery as a lecture, a gift or -loan of the manuscript to a friend do not _ipso facto_ determine the -author's right of property.[1187] The questions in cases of alleged -unlawful publication of manuscript are usually: What is to be presumed -as the reasonable understanding between the author and the persons -to whom literary matter in the manuscript is communicated? Are they -intended to have the right of making any use they please of it, or do -the circumstances raise a presumption that they may only use it for -a limited purpose? In _Macklin_ v. _Richardson_[1188] the Court held -that although a play had been performed on the stage, that was only -a limited publication of it, and therefore the exclusive right to -publish remained in the author.[1189] In _Nicols_ v. _Pitman_[1190] -a lecture delivered at a Working Men's College from a manuscript -previously prepared, was reproduced by the defendant without the -plaintiff's consent. Kay, J., granted an injunction. In _Caird_ v. -_Sime_[1191] the professor of moral philosophy in Glasgow University -delivered a course of lectures in pursuance of his duty as professor. -These were published by a bookseller from notes taken by a student. It -was strenuously argued that the professorship being a _munus publicum_ -and the classes being open to all comers, the delivery of the lectures -was really a publication without reserve to the whole world. The House -of Lords rejected this argument, and held that the right to publish -was reserved, the persons who were present at the lecture not being -the general public, but a limited class of the public selected and -admitted for the sole and special purpose of receiving individual -instruction. Lord Halsbury, L. C., in giving judgment, suggested -possible cases where it would be implied from the circumstances that -there was publication to the world at large: - - "It is intelligible that when a person speaks a speech to which - all the world is invited, either expressly or impliedly, to - listen, or preaches a sermon[1192] in a church, the doors of which - are thrown open to all mankind, the mode and manner of publication - negative, as it appears to me, any limitation."[1193] - -The same rules apply to communication by delivery of the manuscript -or a copy. If I give my manuscript to another to read or for any -other limited purpose, he may not exceed the limits of use expressly -or impliedly agreed. Publication by printing and circulation among a -limited class will not destroy the common law right.[1194] - -The common law right in a manuscript may be abandoned by neglect or -acquiescence in an adverse use. Thus it was said that Southey had no -right to complain when having left his poem "Wat Tyler" in the hands -of a publisher for twenty-three years the publisher published it for -his own profit.[1195] - -A man's right to the exclusive use of his unpublished work does not -depend on its value, and it is immaterial whether he did or did not -intend to make profit by its publication.[1196] It is also immaterial -whether the publication would prove creditable or discreditable, -advantageous or disadvantageous.[1197] - -The question has been raised whether the Courts would prevent an -unauthorised person from publishing manuscript of an immoral nature -which the author may have repented of and refused to place before the -public.[1198] - -Ignorance of the author's right is no defence to an action for -interfering with unpublished literary matter. A _bona fide_ purchaser -for value gets no better title than the original pirate.[1199] - -=Speeches and Sermons.=--Literary matter delivered orally from an -extempore composition without having been previously reduced to -writing, is protected at common law from unauthorised use. The extent -of the protection as in the case of delivery from manuscript is -defined by the terms of the relationship existing between the speaker -and his audience. He may have freely abandoned all exclusive interest -in the matter of his address, or he may give them only the right to -listen, or he may give them the right of taking notes and using them -for their own instruction. It seems to be doubtful, however, whether -the right in unwritten speeches is one based on property, or whether -it must depend entirely on implied contract between the speaker and -his audience. In _Abernethy_ v. _Hutchinson_[1200] Dr. Abernethy -delivered surgical lectures to students at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. -These lectures had not been previously reduced to writing. Lord Eldon, -L. C., granted an injunction against their unauthorised reproduction -in the _Lancet_. There was no evidence as to how the defendants -got possession of the lectures, but Lord Eldon thought that was -immaterial: - - "They must have been taken from a pupil or otherwise in such a - way as the Court would not permit, and the injunction ought to go - on the ground of property, and although there was not sufficient - to establish an implied contract as between the plaintiffs and - the defendants, yet it must be decided that as the lectures must - have been procured in an undue manner from those who were under - a contract not to publish for profit, there was sufficient to - authorise the Court to say the defendants shall not publish." - -In _Nicols_ v. _Pitman_[1201] a case of previously written lectures, -Kay, J., reviews the judgment of Lord Eldon in the last cited case: - - "Now it is quite true that the learned judge seems at one moment - to refer to the ground of property and at another to that of - implied contract. But I take his meaning to be this, that when - a lecture of this kind is delivered to an audience, especially - when the audience is a limited one admitted by tickets, the - understanding between the lecturer and the audience is that, - whether the lecture has been committed to writing beforehand or - not, the audience are quite at liberty to take the fullest notes - they like for their own personal purposes, but they are not at - liberty having taken those notes to use them afterwards for the - purpose of publishing the lecture for profit." - -The question of whether the right in an oral speech is property or -not might well be of the highest importance in a question between the -speaker and a publisher who acquired the matter in entire ignorance of -his right. The facts might be such that the Court would not, as they -did in _Abernethy_ v. _Hutchinson_,[1202] presume that the material -"must have been procured in an undue manner." If there was no such -presumption from the facts, it would appear that, apart from a right -of property, the speaker must be without remedy unless he has given -notice as a lecturer within 5 & 6 Will. IV. c. 65.[1203] - -=Letters.=--Private letters are protected from publication as much as -any other manuscript. In an early case[1204] it was suggested that -there could be no property in business letters or others with no -literary merit; but as the idea of literary merit in connection with -copyright is now entirely exploded, the _obiter dicta_ in this case -may be disregarded. In all letters then there is a literary property -in the writer which entitles him or his executors to prohibit any -publication without his consent, express or implied.[1205] It is -immaterial whether the publication is for the purpose of profit or -not.[1206] If a letter is written by one as agent for another the -property is in the principal, and the agent cannot restrain him from -publishing.[1207] The receiver of a letter has a property in the paper -on which it is written[1208] and is entitled to retain possession -even against the writer. The receiver may make no use of a letter -except such as is implied in the sending or with the consent of the -writer.[1209] The receiver may even be restrained from parting with -possession or showing the letters to any one.[1210] The receiver is -probably entitled to prevent the publication of the letters from -copies not in his possession or from the originals which have passed -from his possession.[1211] - -Although the sender has a right of property in the literary matter in -the letters, the receiver may without his consent destroy the letters -and so destroy the writer's chance of obtaining benefit from them. The -literary property of the writer and the property in the paper of the -receiver descend to their respective executors.[1212] The question -has been suggested but never answered: What would be the rights of -trustees in bankruptcy to publish for the benefit of creditors private -letters?[1213] Letters may be published against the will of the -writer when published _bona fide_ for the purpose of vindication of -character.[1214] - - - - -CHAPTER XII - -PUBLISHING AND PRINTING AGREEMENTS - - -_Publishers' Agreements._--These agreements are governed by the law -of contract, and only incidentally involve questions of copyright. -The contract between an author and his publisher is a personal one -and cannot be assigned; each party is presumed to have relied on the -personal skill or reputation of the other.[1215] Thus it was held that -a half profit agreement could not be assigned by a publisher's firm -to a firm which had succeeded to their business but which contained -none of the partners of the original firm.[1216] The same principle -has been applied in the case of a limited company carrying on a -publishing business.[1217] A publishing agreement ought to provide for -an assignment of the publisher's rights and obligations to the person -or persons who may succeed to the business. Unless otherwise agreed, -the death or bankruptcy of a publisher will terminate a publishing -agreement.[1218] Similarly if an author had not performed his part of -an agreement, viz. to write and revise the manuscript, his death[1219] -or bankruptcy[1220] would terminate his obligations in that respect. -The publisher could not insist on the author's representatives -completing the work, nor could they if they completed the work insist -on the publisher publishing.[1221] - -An agreement to write a book or an article cannot be enforced by -specific performance.[1222] The only remedy for breach is an action -for damages,[1223] or, if the author has agreed not to write on -a particular subject for any one else, that may be enforced by an -injunction.[1224] An agreement to assign a copyright may be enforced -by specific performance,[1225] and probably also an agreement to -furnish an unpublished manuscript already completed. An undertaking to -write a book on a particular subject is not fulfilled by furnishing -a translation of a foreign work on that subject.[1226] If A agrees -with B to write an article for a certain publication or series -of publications, and if before the article can be published the -publication or series has been discontinued, A is not bound to deliver -his article for publication in another form; but he is entitled to a -_quantum meruit_ for the work he has done.[1227] - -If an author has entered into a royalty agreement with a publisher -he is not, apart from express agreement, under any obligation not to -publish the work through another publisher before the first edition -has been sold out.[1228] An author should therefore be bound not to -publish elsewhere so long as the publisher is willing and ready to -publish, and if this is done the publisher may restrain the author or -another publisher who publishes with notice of his agreement.[1229] In -a half profit agreement where nothing was said as to future editions, -it was thought that the contract might probably be determined by -either party on the expiry of each edition and before any expense had -been incurred in respect of a future edition; but until that was done -the publisher had the exclusive right to publish and recoup himself -for his outlay and earn profits.[1230] - -It is not illegal as being in restraint of trade for an author -to contract to write only for a single publisher or theatrical -manager,[1231] nor for a publisher to contract not to publish a -particular class of work.[1232] If an editor engages to give his -whole time to a publication, he will be restrained from engaging in -or advertising any rival work.[1233] Unless there is an express -stipulation an author will not be prevented under a publishing -agreement from writing and publishing other books on the same subject -provided they do not reproduce in whole or in part the former -book.[1234] If there is an express stipulation against publishing -similar works, both the author and his publisher would be restrained -from doing so.[1235] Apart from express agreement a publisher is -probably free to publish any other rival work he pleases, even -although it may seriously affect the sale of the former book.[1236] - -In the absence of express stipulation, the publisher under a half -profit agreement has been held entitled to fix the selling price, -choose the embellishments, and generally control the publication.[1237] - -In a publishing agreement it should always be expressly stated who is -to hold the copyright. It has been held that where no mention of the -copyright was made a half profit agreement did not import a transfer -of the copyright to the publisher.[1238] In editorial agreements as to -newspapers or magazines similar careful provision should be made as to -who is to own the copyright and the goodwill in the name, otherwise -difficult questions may arise.[1239] - -Where the author of a novel sold the copyright therein to the owners -of a periodical, reserving to himself the right to publish in "volume -form," it was held that under this agreement he was entitled to -publish the work in weekly parts, which when completed could be bound -into a volume.[1240] - -An indemnity given by an author to a publisher against proceedings -for libel is void if the publisher knew or ought to have known that -the matter was libellous.[1241] The publisher, however, would be -entitled to rely on such an indemnity if he acted innocently. The same -principle would apply to proceedings for infringement of copyright. - -A publishing agreement may be made orally unless, which will seldom -happen, it cannot be performed within a year from the making thereof, -in which case there must be a written memorandum of the terms to -satisfy the Statute of Frauds.[1242] - -The agreement, if in writing, must be stamped with the usual sixpenny -agreement stamp. If it contains a conveyance of a copyright it will -probably have to be stamped with _ad valorem_ duty under section 53 -of the Stamp Act.[1243] If the work is unpublished at the time of -the agreement the whole interest in the manuscript can be conveyed -by delivery; in the case of a published work the copyright could -be conveyed by entry on the register, so that in neither case need -there be a conveyance in the agreement, and the stamp duty can thus -be avoided. If a copyright is conveyed by entry on the register the -Copyright Act expressly exempts the conveyance from duty.[1244] - -_Printers' Agreements._--A printer has a lien on the books printed -by him for his printing charges.[1245] He has no lien on stereotype -plates for the amount of the bill for printing from them.[1246] If -the printer does not print his name and address on a book as required -by Act of Parliament[1247] he will not be entitled to recover his -printing charges.[1248] An order to print a certain number of copies -of a book must as a rule be treated as an entire order, and no payment -will fall due until the whole are complete and ready for delivery, so -that if when half finished they are destroyed by fire he will not be -entitled to recover for the work done.[1249] A printer does not insure -the manuscript when in his possession,[1250] but is only liable for -loss occasioned by his negligence. - -A printer cannot maintain an action in respect of his charges for -printing an immoral or seditious work, knowing it to be such.[1251] -If while a book is being printed by him he discovers that it contains -libellous, seditious, or immoral matter, he would be entitled to -discontinue the printing and sue for the work already done.[1252] - - * * * * * - - - - -ADDENDUM - - -=Musical Copyright, Summary Remedies.=--A Bill has passed both Houses -of Parliament and awaits the Royal Assent whereby, after October -1902, owners of copyright in music may proceed in a Court of summary -jurisdiction against persons dealing in pirated music. Piratical -copies which are being hawked or offered for sale may be seized by -a constable without warrant and brought before the Court, which, on -proof, may order the copies to be forfeited or destroyed, and inflict -a penalty not exceeding twenty pounds on any one offender in respect -of the same transaction. This Act will not apply outside the United -Kingdom. - - - - -PART II - -THE LAW OF COPYRIGHT IN THE UNITED STATES - - - - -CHAPTER I - -INTRODUCTORY - - -The law of copyright in the United States, especially in relation -to literary work, is daily becoming of more interest to the owners -of copyright in this country. Since the _Act of Congress_, 1891, -commonly known as the _Chace Act_, those who are neither citizens of -nor resident in the United States can acquire a copyright therein -if copies of their books are printed from type set up in the United -States and if their books are duly recorded there before publication -either within or outside the United States. There is thus created -for English authors a property which may be of considerable value if -before publishing here they incur the trouble and expense of printing -and recording their books in America. - -Apart from this commercial interest which English authors and -publishers have in a knowledge of American copyright law, there -is the further interest to English lawyers in the large body of -analogous case law to which the American statutes have given rise. -These statutes were originally founded on our own statute of Anne, -and, although the difference between the Acts now in force in the two -countries is very wide in many respects, a great deal remains the -same in substance, and the decisions of the American Courts afford -us valuable precedents. These cases, however, must not be cited in -our Courts at random, as has too frequently been done. In citing -from the American reports, it is essential to compare the statutory -provisions in America with the statutory provisions in this country, -and ascertain whether the decisions are really applicable or not. -It is for this reason that I have thought it expedient to keep the -American law and the English law entirely separate. The practice of -citing American cases promiscuously throughout a treatise on English -Copyright Law I have found to be confusing and misleading. - - - - -CHAPTER II - -WHAT WORKS ARE ENTITLED TO COPYRIGHT - - -In order to acquire copyright in the United States the work must -fulfil the following conditions: - - 1. It must be an original literary or artistic work. - 2. The (owner/author) must be a citizen of the United States (or - resident therein), or of a foreign country proclaimed - to that intent by the President.[1253] - 3. It must have complied with the formalities prescribed - by the statutes of the United States.[1254] - 4. It must be innocent.[1255] - - -SECTION I.--AN ORIGINAL LITERARY OR ARTISTIC WORK. - -In the United States literary and artistic works are treated similarly -under the same series of statutes. The works protected are enumerated -in section 4952 of the Revised Statutes as amended by the Act of March -3, 1891 (_The Chace Act_). The protection extends to any book, map, -chart, dramatic or musical composition, engraving, cut, print, or -photograph or negative thereof, and to any painting, drawing, chromo, -statue, statuary, and to models or designs intended to be perfected as -works of the fine arts. - -[Sidenote: The scope of the Constitution.] - -In considering whether a work is within the protection of the -Copyright Acts, not only must the enacting words of the statutes -be considered, but also, and perhaps principally, the scope of the -provision in the Constitution, which grants power to Congress to -secure the protection of authors and artists.[1256] The language -of the Act must be read in connection with the Constitutional -provision and be so construed as to promote the object and conform -to the purpose expressed therein. The power given to Congress by -the Constitution is a power "to promote the progress of science and -useful arts by securing for limited times to authors and inventors -the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." In -consideration of this restricted power the earlier decisions[1257] -construed the Acts of Congress as including only those works which -showed a certain degree of intellectual labour in the arts or -sciences. In _Clayton_ v. _Stone_[1258] protection was refused to a -daily price current or review of the markets issued in a newspaper. -Thompson, J., in giving judgment, said: - - "The Act was passed in execution of the power given by Congress, - and the object therefore was the promotion of science; and it - would certainly be a pretty extraordinary view of the sciences to - consider a daily or weekly publication of the state of the market - as falling within any class of them. They are of a more fixed, - permanent, and durable character. The term science cannot with any - propriety be applied to a work of so fluctuating and fugitive a - form as that of a newspaper or price current, the subject-matter - of which is daily changing, and is of mere temporary use.... The - title of the Act of Congress is for the encouragement of learning, - and was not intended for the encouragement of mere industry - unconnected with learning and the sciences." - -[Sidenote: Illustrated Catalogues.] - -This high standard of intellectual requirement was not, however, -strictly maintained. In _Brightley_ v. _Littleton_[1259] a blank -form of application for a licence to sell liquor at retail, drawn in -pursuance of the statutes in that behalf, was protected, and it was -said that, although the matter claiming copyright must be original and -possess some possible utility, "the originality may be of the lowest -order and the utility barely perceptible." In _Ladd_ v. _Oxnard_[1260] -the English cases of _Lamb_ v. _Evans_[1261] and _Leslie_ v. -_Young_[1262] were cited with approval, and the Court agreed that -"the quality and grade of original work required by the Courts under -the Copyright Statutes are very moderate." Until the case of _Mott_ -v. _Clow_,[1263] the tendency seems to have been to follow the -English judges to their extreme view, as expressed by Lord Halsbury -in _Walter_ v. _Lane_,[1264] _i. e._ "that the copyright law requires -neither literary merit nor intellectual labour nor originality -either in thought or in language." The Court, however, in _Mott_ v. -_Clow_[1265] refused to follow the English decisions. After reviewing -the American, and particularly the earlier American decisions, they -say: - - "The result of these decisions would seem to place this - construction upon the Constitutional provisions under - consideration that only such writings and discoveries are - included which are the result of intellectual labour; that the - term writings may be liberally construed to include designs for - engravings and prints that are original and are founded in the - creative powers of the mind, the fruits of intellectual labour; - that prints upon a single sheet might be considered a book if - it otherwise met the spirit of the constitutional provision; - and that to be entitled to a copyright, the article must have, - by and of itself, some value as a composition, at least to the - extent of serving some purpose other than a mere advertisement or - designation of the subject to which it is attached." - -The "book" before the Court was a catalogue in the form of a bound -volume, containing illustrations of household wares offered for sale, -and giving the dimensions and price of each. The Court referred -to _Maple_ v. _Junior Army and Navy Stores_[1266] where a similar -catalogue in England was protected. - - "It is to be observed in this case that it was ruled largely upon - the language of the Act of Parliament (5 & 6 Vict. c. 45).... - It is to be here remarked that the Parliament of Great Britain, - unlike the Congress of the United States, is unlimited in power, - and with the construction and effect placed upon the preamble - of the Act by the Court, there would seem to be little escape - from the conclusion at which the Court arrived. In this country - under the Constitution the power lodged with the Congress is not - unlimited, but is restricted to the promotion of the progress - of science and useful arts. The ruling of the English Court is - therefore not pertinent except as it illustrates the subject." - -The Court cited with approval _Baker_ v. _Selden_,[1267] which had -expressly approved _Cobbett_ v. _Woodward_,[1268] an English case -overruled in _Maple_ v. _Junior Army and Navy Stores_;[1269] they -further cited and approved the judgment of Thompson, J., in _Clayton_ -v. _Stone_,[1270] quoted above. The judgment concludes with the -following paragraph: - - "It is possibly not beyond comprehension that pictures of - slop-sinks, wash-bowls, and bath-tubs, with or without letterpress - statement of dimensions and prices, though intended mainly for - advertisement, may in localities where such conveniences are not - in common use, be the means of instruction and of advancement in - knowledge of the arts, and, when they are the products of original - intellectual thought, may possibly come within the scope of the - Constitutional provision. It is enough for the present purpose to - say that, in our judgment, the Congress has not seen fit to enact - a law which can reasonably be given so broad a construction." - -[Sidenote: Directories. Dictionaries.] - -[Sidenote: Mercantile Statistics.] - -[Sidenote: Forms of Application.] - -In considering the authority of some of the cases cited below, the -judgment in _Mott_ v. _Clow_[1271] must not be lost sight of. It is -probable that some of these cases are not in accordance with it, or -with the older cases, such as _Clayton_ v. _Stone_[1272] and _Baker_ -v. _Selden_[1273] therein expressly approved. Subject to this note -of warning, the following may be taken as examples of what have and -what have not been accepted as works of art or literature within the -scope of the Constitution and the Acts of Congress. Directories[1274] -and dictionaries[1275] have both been protected. In the case of the -latter, there is copyright in the definitions of the words, however -short. A list of the credit ratings of marble, granite, and stone -dealers of the United States and Canada was protected in _Ladd_ -v. _Oxnard_.[1276] In _Clayton_ v. _Stone_,[1277] which has been -approved as sound law,[1278] a daily state of the market was refused -protection. A racing guide containing a list of race-horses and -statistics as to their age and performances was protected in one -case,[1279] and in the other case a list of trotting horses and their -paces.[1280] In _Brightley_ v. _Littleton_[1281] a blank form of -application for liquor licence was held to be copyright. In _Carlisle_ -v. _Colusa County_[1282] copyright was denied to a blank form of -property statement for assessment purposes. - -This latter decision appears, however, to have been partly on the -ground that as the assessors were obliged to issue a form, it would -embarrass their duties if forms drawn up by private persons were -entitled to copyright. - -A circular in pamphlet form used as an advertisement, and explaining -a certain method of distribution of coupons to cash purchasers -from certain merchants named in the pamphlet, has been held to be -the subject of copyright.[1283] The circuit judge, however, in his -judgment, says: "It requires some stretch of imagination to say that -this pamphlet comes within the purpose of Congress, the encouragement -of learning, and the increase of useful knowledge, but the official -charged with the duty has granted a copyright to this pamphlet, and -his decision is accepted."[1284] - -[Sidenote: Dramatic Works.] - -Dramatic works[1285] have been protected, although not of a very high -literary standard. In _Henderson_ v. _Tompkins_[1286] protection was -given to a topical song which was designed merely to amuse. It was -sufficient if it accomplished that purpose. - -[Sidenote: Law Reports.] - -[Sidenote: Statutes.] - -Law Reports are protected so far as they consist of original -intellectual matter;[1287] the protection may thus extend to the -title-page, table of cases, the head notes, the statements of facts, -the argument of counsel, the index, the order and arrangement of -cases, the numbering and pagination of the volumes, the table of cases -cited in the opinions, the subdivision of the index into condensed -titles, and the cross references.[1288] The original work of the -reporter is alone protected.[1289] In the opinion of the Court there -is no copyright;[1290] these constitute part of the law of the land -open to all to make use of as they please, and neither the state, -the judge, nor the reporter can acquire or confer any conclusive -privilege of copying them. The same rule applies to the head notes -in those states where they are prepared by the judge.[1291] On the -same grounds of public policy no one can have copyright in the -statutes;[1292] the legislature of the state cannot confer it on any -one.[1293] There may be copyright in the head notes and arrangement of -a digest of the statutes.[1294] - -[Sidenote: Notes and Additions. New Arithmetic. Adaptations.] - -The contents of a book do not require to be entirely new; if -partially old there will be copyright _quoad_ the new material or new -arrangement.[1295] Thus there is copyright in notes and additions to -an old work,[1296] in a new arithmetic combining old material in new -form,[1297] in translations,[1298] in the adaptation of an old drama -introducing a new title, new dialogue, minor characters, scenery, and -dramatic situations with the orchestration and orchestra part songs -and music,[1299] and in the dramatization of a novel.[1300] - -[Sidenote: Musical Arrangement.] - -In one case it was held that the adaptation of a musical piece -from the notation suitable to one instrument to that suitable to -another was not a sufficiently intellectual process to entitle the -adapter to copyright in his adaptations.[1301] It was said that "a -mere mechanic could make the adaptation and accompaniment." Since -then, however, it has been held that a musical arrangement is the -subject of copyright. In _Thomas_ v. _Lennox_[1302] an orchestral -accompaniment for a non-copyright oratorio by Gounod was held to be -the subject of copyright. In _Carte_ v. _Evans_[1303] an arrangement -for the pianoforte of the orchestral score of an opera was held to be -copyright. - -[Sidenote: New Editions.] - -Copyright in new editions runs _quoad_ the new material from the date -of the new edition.[1304] The additions or corrections must be of -substantial value. A work which is _publici juris_ cannot be reclaimed -by colourable and immaterial alterations or additions.[1305] - -[Sidenote: Form of Publication.] - -[Sidenote: Mechanical Devices.] - -[Sidenote: Letter File.] - -[Sidenote: Account Book.] - -A book need not be a book in the ordinary sense of the word; the word -in the Act is not to be construed by reference to lexicographers: "the -literary property to be protected by the Act is not to be determined -by the size, form, or shape in which it makes its appearance, but by -the subject-matter."[1306] A single sheet containing literary matter -will be protected as a book.[1307] No doubt, however, the subject -to be protected must be _ejusdem generis_ as a book or leaflet. The -subject-matter must convey, and the form must be suitably adapted -for conveying, information to the reader. The copyright law embraces -those things that are printed and published for information and not -for use in themselves. Thus what is really a mechanical instrument, -and if original entitled to protection under the patent law, will not -be protected by the copyright law. In _Amberg File_ v. _Shea_[1308] -protection was claimed in a letter file. It was said that the spaces -between the index letters were adjusted to the average requirements -of the correspondent. These average requirements were ascertained by -exhaustive research in different directories. Copyright was refused. -In _Baker_ v. _Selden_[1309] blank account books of an original type -or pattern were refused protection. The judge in that case drew the -distinction between what was a proper subject of the patent laws and -what was a proper subject of copyright law--"The object of the one -is explanation, the object of the other is use."[1310] In _Drury_ v. -_Ewing_[1311] a "ladies' chart for cutting dresses and basques for -ladies, and coats, jackets, &c., for boys" was protected. It is almost -certain, however, that this decision would not now be accepted as -sound. Mere labels will not be protected as copyright works.[1312] -They may be protected by registration in the Patent Office.[1313] - -[Sidenote: Originality.] - -Copyright may be obtained for works of the imagination, or for a mere -collection and arrangement of material open to all mankind.[1314] What -is meant by originality as a requisite of copyright is that what is -claimed as the subject of copyright, whether it be the composition or -arrangement of matter, must not have been taken from some literary -or artistic work already in existence. It need not be the first of -its kind; the same thing may have been done before so as to produce -identically the same result.[1315] If the second author, artist, or -composer goes about his work independently, searching out his material -from the original sources, he is equally entitled to copyright with -the first. Herein copyright law differs from the law of patents; -in the former there may be two concurrent copyrights in what is -identically the same creation, in the latter there can only be one -patent, the first inventor being entitled. - -[Sidenote: Letters.] - -Letters may be the subject of copyright, whether of a business or -private nature, and although never intended by the writer to be -published as literary productions. In _Folsom_ v. _Marsh_[1316] the -letters of George Washington were the subject of controversy. Story, -J., in giving judgment, laid down the law as to the property in -letters at some length: - - "There is no small confusion in the books with reference to the - question of copyright in letters. Some of the _dicta_ seem to - suppose that no copyright can exist except in letters which are - professedly literary, while others again recognise a much more - enlarged and liberal doctrine upon the whole subject. In the - first place I hold that the author of any letter or letters (and - his representatives), whether they are literary compositions or - familiar letters or letters of business, possess the sole and - exclusive copyright therein; and that no persons, neither those - to whom they are addressed nor other persons, have any right - or authority to publish the same upon their own account or for - their own benefit. But consistently with this right the persons - to whom they are addressed may have, nay, must by implication - possess the right to publish any letter or letters addressed to - them upon such occasions as require or justify the publication or - public use of them, but this right is strictly limited to such - occasions. Thus a person may justifiably use and publish in a - suit at law or in equity such letter or letters as are necessary - and proper to establish his right to maintain the suit or defend - the same. So if he be aspersed or misrepresented by the writer or - accused of improper conduct in a public manner, he may publish - such parts of such letter or letters, but no more, as may be - necessary to vindicate his character and his reputation, or free - him from unjust obloquy and reproach. If he attempt to publish - such letter or letters on other occasions not justifiable, a - Court of Equity will prevent the publication by an injunction - as a breach of private confidence or contract or of the rights - of the author, and _a fortiori_ if he attempt to publish them - for profit, for then it is not a mere breach of confidence or - contract, but it is a violation of the exclusive copyright of the - writer. In short, the person to whom letters are addressed has but - a limited right or special property (if I may so call it) in such - letters as a trustee, or bailee for particular purposes, either of - information or of protection or of support of his own rights and - character. The general property and the general rights incident to - property belong to the writer, whether the letters are literary - compositions or familiar letters or details of facts or letters of - business. The general property in the manuscript remains in the - writer and his representatives as well as the general copyright. - _A fortiori_ third persons standing in no privity with either - party are not entitled to publish them to subserve their own - private purposes of interest or curiosity or passion." - -It is not quite accurate to say that the receiver of a letter is -merely a trustee or bailee for particular purposes. Clearly the -receiver of a letter is entitled to destroy it unless there is any -express or implied stipulation to the contrary, and probably he can -prevent the sender from publishing it by refusing to produce it if it -is in his possession. - -[Sidenote: No Copyright in Titles.] - -As a rule there can be no copyright in a title.[1317] The deposit -of the title-page with the Librarian of Congress does not give the -author any exclusive right to the use of that title.[1318] A title -can only be protected as a trade mark in connection with a particular -literary or artistic production which has become known to the public. -The public must be shown to be deceived or to be in danger of being -deceived.[1319] A title may be protected by registration as a trade -mark.[1320] - -[Sidenote: Photographs.] - -Photographs were first protected by the Statute of March 3, 1865; -before then protection was refused to them under the head of prints, -cuts, or engravings.[1321] It seems to have been doubted at one time -whether the protection of photographs was not _ultra vires_ of the -powers conferred by the Constitution. There is certainly an apparent -difficulty in bringing a photograph within the expression "writings" -used in the Constitution; but this word has received an extremely wide -and liberal construction, and has been held to be capable of including -any literary or artistic production of the intellect. Photographs have -been now frequently protected, but it is not every photograph that -will be protected, there must be some evidence that the photographer -has exercised an intellectual choice of subject-matter, expression, -arrangement, light, or other circumstances or conditions which go to -the production of an artistic photograph.[1322] It will be a question -of fact for the Court or jury whether the photograph is a mere manual -reproduction of subject-matter or an original work of art.[1323] In -a portrait there may be copyright in so far as the photographer has -relied on his own judgment for the choice of light, background, pose, -or attitude.[1324] In one case the photograph of a yacht under sail -was protected. It required the photographer to select and utilise the -best effects of light, cloud, water, and general surroundings, and -combine them under favourable conditions for depicting vividly and -accurately the view of a yacht under sail.[1325] - -A slight colourable alteration in a non-copyright photograph will not -entitle it to copyright.[1326] - -[Sidenote: Engravings.] - -Engravings, cuts, and prints will be protected,[1327] but there -must be at least some merit in them as artistic or instructive -productions. Thus the prints of common articles of household use -in a tradesmen's catalogue,[1328] drawings of billiard tables in a -similar catalogue,[1329] a card of specimen colours and tints of -zinc paints,[1330] and a poster with coloured drawings of a circus -performance[1331] have all been refused protection. If there is real -artistic merit in a drawing it will not be disentitled to protection -merely on the ground that it has been used as an advertisement.[1332] - -It has been held that playing cards printed in colours are entitled to -protection as "prints."[1333] - -[Sidenote: Pictures.] - -The Act of June 18, 1874, enacts that the protection of the Copyright -Acts conferred on "engravings," "cuts," and "prints" shall not -extend to prints or labels designed to be used for any articles of -manufacture. This Act cannot be evaded by attempting to copyright the -picture or drawing from which the label is designed. In _Schumacher_ -v. _Wogram_[1334] the Court refused protection under the Copyright -Acts to a picture representing a young woman holding a bouquet -of flowers intended to be reproduced on labels for cigar boxes. -The reason for refusing protection of the copyright law to such -productions is that their only real value is as a trade mark connected -with a particular article of manufacture.[1335] They are not designed -in themselves to instruct or amuse. As trade marks they will be -protected if registered in the Patent Office. The fact that a picture -could be readily lithographed and used as a label does not deprive it -of copyright;[1336] it must in order to lose its copyright have been -made with the intention of being used as a label. If the painting -itself were to be considered a label because copies might be so used, -no masterpiece would be entitled to copyright. A painting, engraving, -or print in order to be protected must be a pictorial representation -of something and not merely a design.[1337] - - -SECTION II.--NATIONALITY OF THE AUTHOR. - -Unfortunately the Acts of Congress are not clear as to how far the -works of foreign authors, or the works of non-residents in the United -States are protected. - -Until 1891 the works of foreign authors not resident in the United -States were denied protection. Sec. 4971 of the Revised Statutes ran -as follows: - - "Sec. 4971. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prohibit - the printing, publishing, importation, or sale of any book, map, - chart, dramatic or musical composition, print, cut, engraving, or - photograph, written, composed, or made by any person not a citizen - of the United States nor resident therein."[1338] - -By the Act of 1891, the benefits of copyright are extended to the -citizens of foreign countries which are proclaimed by the President as -conferring reciprocal rights on American citizens. Sec. 4971 of the -Revised Statutes is repealed. The Act of March 3, 1891, section 13, -enacts-- - - "That this Act shall only apply to a citizen or subject of a - foreign state or nation when such foreign state or nation permits - to citizens of the United States of America the benefit of - copyright on substantially the same basis as its own citizens, or - when such foreign state or nation is a party to an international - agreement which provides for reciprocity in the granting of - copyright by the terms of which agreement the United States of - America may at its pleasure become a party to such agreement. - The existence of either of the conditions aforesaid shall be - determined by the President of the United States by proclamation - made from time to time as the purposes of this Act may require." - -The Act of March 3, 1891, section 5, amending the Revised Statutes, -sec. 4959, enacts that-- - - "... the alterations, revisions, and additions made to books by - foreign authors heretofore published, of which new editions shall - appear subsequently to the taking effect of this Act, shall be - held and deemed capable of being copyrighted as above provided - for in this Act, unless they form a part of the series in course - of publication at the time this Act shall take effect." (July 1, - 1891.) - -On these sections two questions seem to be left open: - - (1) Is the test to be applied the nationality of (_a_) the - author, or of (_b_) the proprietor of the manuscript, - or other unpublished work, at the time of publication; - or will it satisfy the Act if (_c_) either of these persons - complies with the requisite conditions of nationality? - (2) Will residence in the United States or in one of the - proclaimed countries confer the privileges on one - who is not a citizen or subject of any of them? - -1. It may be that it would be a sufficient compliance with the -requirements of the Act if either the author or his assignee before -publication were a citizen of the United States, or a subject or -citizen of a proclaimed country. Section 1 amending the Revised -Statutes, sec. 4952, gives the sole liberty to "the author, inventor, -designer, or proprietor, and to the executors, administrators, or -assigns of any such person." Section 13 "applies the Act" to citizens -or subjects of certain foreign states or nations. Under the Revised -Statutes, section 4971, before 1891 it was the nationality of the -author alone that was considered, and it would have been no answer to -have said that the assignee before publication was an American citizen -or resident in the United States. Perhaps in 1891 the benefit was -designedly extended to assignees before publication, who complied with -the conditions and who had taken assignments from foreign authors who -did not. On the whole, however, I am inclined to the opinion that it -will not do merely to allege that the assignee of the uncopyrighted -and unpublished work is a citizen of the United States or a subject -or citizen of one of the proclaimed countries. It must, I think, be -alleged that the author, inventor, designer, or proprietor _ab initio_ -has complied with the conditions as to nationality. By proprietor _ab -initio_ (and probably this is the true meaning of "proprietor" in -section 1 of the Act of March 3, 1891[1339]), I mean one who compiles -a work by his servants or agents, for instance, a body corporate, -which cannot be said to be an "author, inventor, or designer," and yet -is entitled to the whole property in the work of its servants as it -grows up from day to day. I have not considered the assignee after -publication. I think it must be abundantly clear that his nationality -cannot be taken as the test, since if he took his assignment from a -foreign author who did not comply with the conditions of nationality -when the work was published, the work at the time of assignment would -have become _publici juris_. If he took his assignment from one who -complied with the conditions of nationality and copyrighted the work, -the fact of his being an alien would not prevent him acquiring the -copyright already secured. - -2. Before 1891 residence in the United States, which was interpreted -to mean permanent residence and not merely for the purposes of -publication,[1340] was sufficient to entitle an author to the -privileges of the Copyright Acts. The provision now, under the Act -of March 3, 1891, is that the Act shall only apply to a citizen of a -foreign country which has been proclaimed. Reading the Act strictly -a foreign resident in the United States but not a citizen thereof is -excluded from protection which he formerly had, unless he is a citizen -or subject of a proclaimed country. No doubt this was not intended -to be the result of the Act of 1891, but the words are plain and -unambiguous, and there seems no reason why they should not have effect -according to their plain meaning. _A fortiori_ a foreigner resident -in, but not a subject of, one of the proclaimed countries would not be -entitled to copyright. - -The following States have been proclaimed as fulfilling one or other -of the required conditions, and their citizens are therefore entitled -to acquire copyright in the United States in the same way as an -American citizen: - - Belgium } - France } - Great Britain } July 1, 1891. - Switzerland } - Germany April 15, 1892. - Italy October 31, 1892. - Denmark May 8, 1893. - Portugal July 20, 1893. - Spain July 10, 1895. - Mexico Feb. 27, 1896. - Chili May 25, 1896. - - -SECTION III.--NECESSARY FORMALITIES. - -No person is entitled to copyright unless he--[1341] - -I. In the case of a book, map, chart, dramatic or musical -composition, engraving, cut, print, photograph, or chromo-- - - (i.) Delivers (or mails within the United States) to the - Librarian of Congress, _on or before the day of publication_, - in the United States or elsewhere a _printed copy of the - title_ of the work. - (ii.) Delivers (or mails within the United States) to the - Librarian of Congress, _not later than the day of publication_, - in the United States or elsewhere _two copies_ of - the work. - -II. In the case of a painting, drawing, statue, statuary, or -a model or design for a work of the fine arts--[1342] - - (i.) Delivers (or mails within the United States) to the - Librarian of Congress, _on or before the day of publication_, - in the United States or elsewhere a _description of - the work_. - (ii.) Delivers (or mails within the United States) to the - Librarian of Congress, _not later than the day of publication_, - in the United States or elsewhere _a photograph of - the work_. - -The proprietor of every copyright book or other article must deliver -(or mail within the United States) to the Librarian of Congress a copy -of every subsequent edition wherein any substantial changes shall be -made.[1343] Each volume of a book in two or more volumes, when such -volumes are published separately, and the first one has not been -issued before July 1, 1891, and each number of a periodical is to be -considered an independent publication.[1344] The requirements of the -statute as to delivery of title and copies, and printing of notice -must therefore be complied with in the case of each volume of a book -or number of a periodical. - -=Conditions Precedent.=--The deposit of title and delivery of copies -as prescribed by the statutes are conditions precedent to copyright -and not merely declaratory.[1345] There is no common law right after -publication, and therefore if a work is published without the proper -formalities having been observed it becomes _publici juris_, and any -one may make what use of it he pleases.[1346] Ignorance of the law is -no excuse even although a new Act has just been passed altering the -time within which copies must be delivered.[1347] In an action for -infringement the declaration must set out in detail a compliance with -the law as to formalities,[1348] and the burden of proof thereof is on -the complainant.[1349] He must prove the deposit of title, delivery of -copies, notice of copyright, and the date of publication. The latter -is essential, as on it depends the validity of the entry.[1350] - -=Delivery of the Title.=--The copy of the title to be delivered must -be "printed," _i. e._ the characters used must be those ordinarily -used in printing, but they may be made by hand with a pen.[1351] The -work must be published within a reasonable time after the deposit -of the title-page, otherwise the formalities will not have been -complied with.[1352] Two months' delay in mailing to the Librarian of -Congress copies of a photograph after the filing of its title is not -unreasonable.[1353] - -It will not do to publish a book under a substantially different title -from that deposited. Immaterial variations in the title, or sub-title, -or complete alteration of a description on the title-page will not -make the deposit void. In _Donnelley_ v. _Ivers_[1354] the title -deposited was "Over One Thousand Recipes. The Lake Side Cook Book: A -Complete Manual of Practical, Economical, Palatable, and Healthful -Cookery. Chicago: Donnelley, Lloyd & Company, 1878." The title on the -book as published was "The Lake Side Cook Book, No. 1. A Complete -Manual of Practical, Economical, Palatable, and Healthful Cookery. -By N. A. D." It was held that the requirement as to the deposit of -title having been "substantially, in good faith complied with," the -objection was not tenable. What is required is, that the deposited -title be sufficient to identify the book with substantial certainty. -In _Carte_ v. _Evans_,[1355] the title filed was "Pianoforte -Arrangement of the Comic Opera, The Mikado, or the Town of Titipu, -by W. S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan. By George L. Tracey." The -book as published bore the title "Vocal Score of the Mikado, or The -Town of Titipu. Arrangement for Pianoforte by George Lowell Tracey -(of Boston, U. S. A.) of the above-named opera by W. S. Gilbert and -Arthur Sullivan." This was held a sufficient deposit to protect the -pianoforte accompaniment. In _Black_ v. _Allen_[1356] the title -deposited was "An Outline of the Political and Economic History of -the United States, with Maps and Charts: I. History and Constitution -by Alexander Johnson, M. A.; II. Population and Industry by Francis A. -Walker, LL. D." The title of the book as deposited was "United States: -Part III. Political Geography and Statistics, copyright, 1888, by -Francis A. Walker." In the absence of evidence that the defendant was -deceived or misled by the change of the title the Court held that it -was valid. In _Daly_ v. _Brady_[1357] the title of a drama deposited -was "Under the Gaslight: A Drama of Life and Love in these Times." The -actual title as published was "Under the Gaslight: A Romantic Panorama -of the Streets and Homes of New York." The Court held that the change -of title might deceive the public, and therefore the deposit of title -was bad; but this decision was reversed in _Daly_ v. _Webster_;[1358] -the variance was in the description. "The title required may include -a sub-title, but it does not include a description of the book upon -the title-page." - -An author may wish to change his title entirely after he has deposited -the title-page. He may do this before the deposit of copies by -depositing a fresh title-page; but it is questionable whether the -duration of his copyright will run from the first deposit of title or -from the deposit of the altered title.[1359] - -=Delivery of Description.=--Probably a short description is all that -is required. If the title is in itself descriptive, probably that -will be sufficient. The photograph of a painting, or other work of -art which is required to be delivered, does not take the place of a -description.[1360] - -=Delivery of Copies.=--Under the Revised Statutes before 1891 -the printed copies had to be delivered "within ten days from the -publication thereof." This was sufficiently complied with by the -delivery of two copies on the day before publication.[1361] The Act of -1891 now requires that the two printed copies shall be delivered "not -later than the day of publication." - -The copies deposited with the Librarian of Congress do not require to -bear the statutory notice as to copyright.[1362] - -The memorandum given by the librarian is sufficient _prima facie_ -evidence of the fact and date of deposit.[1363] The librarian's date -stamp on the book is not conclusive, and may be rebutted by other -evidence of the actual date of deposit.[1364] If the copyright matter -is ordinarily bound up with other matter, the Librarian of Congress -cannot insist on the delivery of the bound volume complete. It is a -sufficient delivery to take the volume to pieces and deliver the loose -sheets on which the copyright matter is printed.[1365] Before 1891 -the two copies deposited had to be of the "best edition," but this -appears to be no longer necessary. - -=Printing in the United States.=--In the case of - - i. books, - ii. chromos, - iii. lithographs, - iv. photographs, - -the two copies required to be delivered must be printed from type set -within the limits of the United States or from plates made therefrom, -or from negatives or drawings on stone made within the limits of the -United States, or from transfers made therefrom.[1366] - -This requirement was introduced in 1891, when the privileges of -copyright were extended to subjects and citizens of foreign countries. -Formerly there was no obligation to print within the United States. - -It has been held that a volume of music is not a "book" within the -meaning of the provision in the statute enacting that the two copies -delivered shall be printed in the United States.[1367] It would seem -to follow that the necessity of printing in the United States does -not extend either to maps or charts, or even to dramatic compositions -in book form. These are all dealt with specifically in the Act, and -therefore, on the authority of _Littleton_ v. _Oliver_,[1368] do not -come within the generic term "books." - -=Retrospective Provision.=--By an Act of March 3, 1893, it is enacted-- - - "That any author, inventor, designer, or proprietor of any book or - other article entitled to copyright, who has heretofore failed to - deliver in the office of the Librarian of Congress two complete - copies of such book, or description or photograph of such article - within the time limited by title sixty, chapter three of the - Revised Statutes relating to copyrights and the Acts in amendment - thereof, and has complied with all other provisions thereof, who - has before the 1st day of March 1893 delivered at the office of - Librarian of Congress or deposited in the mail addressed to the - Librarian of Congress two complete printed copies of such book, - or description or photograph of such article, shall be entitled - to all the rights and privileges of such title sixty, chapter - three of the Revised Statutes and the Acts in amendment thereof." - -=Notice of Copyright.=--No person can maintain an action for -infringement of his copyright unless each published copy of his work -bears one or other of the following notices:[1369] - - "Entered according to Act of Congress in the year ----, by A. B., - in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington. - -Or: - - "Copyright, 18--, by A. B." - -Books must bear the notice: - - "On the title-page or page immediately following."[1370] - -Designs for moulded decorative articles, tiles, plaques, or articles -of pottery: - - "Upon the back or bottom of such articles or on such other place - upon them as it has heretofore been usual ... for the placing of - manufacturers, merchants, and trade marks thereon."[1371] - -Other works, including musical compositions, photographs, pictures, -engravings: - - "Upon some visible portion thereof, or of the substance upon which - the same shall be mounted."[1372] - -The statutory requirements as to notice must be strictly complied -with, and a departure from the exact words of one or other of the -alternative forms may be fatal to the right of action. When the only -notice on a book was "Entered according to Act of Congress, in the -year 1878, by H. A. Jackson," it was held an insufficient notice as -complying with neither of the two alternative forms.[1373] - -[Sidenote: Slight variation.] - -A very slight variance in the words or the orders of the slight words, -if the matter is substantially the same, will not, however, make a bad -notice. Thus "1889, Copyrighted by B. J. Falk, N. Y.," has been held -a good notice.[1374] So also has "Copyright entered according to Act -of Congress, 1889, by T. C. Hefel, civil engineer." It was held to -comply with the short alternative notice, viz.: "Copyright, 18--, by -A. B.," the superfluous words being disregarded on the doctrine of -_utile per inutile non vitiatur_.[1375] - -_The name of the proprietor_ who takes out the copyright is an -essential part of the notice. In _Osgood_ v. _Aloe_[1376] the -following notice was printed on the page following the title-page, -"Copyright, 1891; all rights reserved." This was held a bad notice, -and the name of the publishers, who were also the proprietors, printed -on the title-page was insufficient. There was nothing to show that -they were proprietors as well as publishers. Copyright may be taken -out in the name of a firm or a conventional trade name, and if that -name is on the notice it is sufficient.[1377] But it must be the full -and proper name under which the proprietors are trading. Thus when -_The Illustrated American Publishing Company_ issued a paper entitled -_The Illustrated American_, the following was held an insufficient -notice on a crayon drawing published by the Company, viz.: -"Copyrighted 1891, by _The Illustrated American_."[1378] It seems, -however, that it is not necessary for an individual to give his full -name if what is given is sufficient for the purposes of identity. Thus -the surname and the first letter of the Christian name,[1379] and in -one case the surname alone have been held sufficient.[1380] The latter -case was that of a photographer in Brooklyn. It was shown that there -was only one photographer of that name in Brooklyn, and the notice ran -"Copyright, '93, by Bolles, Brooklyn."[1381] If the full name is given -there is no necessity to give the address of the proprietor, even -although he be a foreigner resident abroad.[1382] - -It will not do to put the name of an agent on the notice. In _Nifflin_ -v. _Dutton_[1383] the authoress of "The Minister's Wooing" took out -a copyright in the whole book in her own name. Subsequently several -chapters of the story were published serially in the _Atlantic -Monthly_. The only notice of copyright in that magazine was in the -name of the publishers, Ticknor and Fields. It was held that these -chapters had not a sufficient notice. Great care must be taken in the -case of serial publications. If a story is published in a magazine -each part must be treated as a separate book, and must contain a -notice of copyright by the author if he is the owner. When the book is -published as a whole these notices must be repeated; it will not do -merely to copyright the whole book afresh and print a new notice. - -_Date of Entry._--The date required is the year only; neither the day -nor the month is necessary. The statement of a wrong year has been -held fatal to the notice. In _Baker_ v. _Taylor_[1384] the true date -of taking out copyright was 1846. The notice stated 1847 as the year, -and this was held as bad notice, even although the error arose from -mistake. But in _Callaghan_ v. _Myers_[1385] the notice put an earlier -instead of a later date than the actual date of deposit; the true date -being 1867, the notice declared copyright to have been entered in -1866. This was held an immaterial error, since it deceived no one, and -would only operate to shorten the claimant's copyright by one year. -In _Schumacher_ v. _Wogram_[1386] Wallace, J., doubted whether the -declaration in the notice of a date earlier than the true date would -not make the notice void. It is immaterial that the date on the notice -is abbreviated if it is sufficiently clear what date is meant; thus, -"Copyright, '94, by A. B.," is a good notice.[1387] - -It is extremely difficult to determine what date the law requires to -be placed upon the second or subsequent edition of a book wherein -substantial alterations or additions have been made. In the case of -a reprint, I think it is clear that the date of the first edition, -and that only, is the correct date; and even where alterations or -additions have been made I think that that date is necessary, and -I doubt whether it is necessary to add another notice giving the -date of the revised edition. It would seem that a subsequent edition -does not require to be "entered" in the same manner as the original -edition; the statute is complied with by the deposit of a copy of -every subsequent edition wherein any substantial changes shall be -made. If this is done copyright in the alterations seems to have been -procured. In _Lawrence_ v. _Dana_[1388] Clifford, J., held that it -was not necessary in a subsequent edition to give the date of the -entry of the first edition[1389]; but I doubt if this is sound. On the -whole, I think the correct view is that the matter peculiar to the -first edition, whether it be printed in the first or any subsequent -edition, must bear a notice with the date when that matter was first -entered, and that the matter peculiar to any subsequent edition will -be protected until the expiry of the copyright in the first edition, -if it bears a notice with the date of the first edition only, and if -a copy has been sent to the Librarian of Congress. I further think -that the matter peculiar to subsequent editions may be protected for -the full term of twenty-eight or thirty-two years from the date of the -first publication of the edition in which it is first contained, if -such edition is separately entered, by two copies of the title-page -and of the book being deposited, and if it bears a notice with the -date of such separate entry. I think, therefore, in every new edition -in which there is a substantial alteration or addition there should -as a matter of practice be a separate entry of copyright and separate -notices on the title-page, one for each edition of the book. - -The question may be raised as to whether a book is a subsequent -edition or an entirely new book. In _Banks_ v. _M'Divitt_,[1390] the -plaintiff had annotated the rules of the Supreme Court of New York. -He had published such annotated editions in 1858 and 1871. In 1874 -the rules were extensively amended, and the plaintiff published an -annotated copy. It was held that this was not a subsequent edition of -the original annotated rules, and therefore no notice of the original -date of publication was required. I very much doubt whether this is a -sound decision. It seems to me that in so far as the new book was the -same as the old, it was a subsequent edition, and in order to retain -protection required a notice of original publication. - -_Every published copy_ of every edition[1391] of a work must have -the statutory notice thereon; every proprietor who sues must have -printed the notice on every copy published by him. If an assignee of -a copyright fail to print a proper notice he will have no remedy even -against his assignor for infringement.[1392] From the wording of the -Act of June 18, 1874, it seems that the printing of the notice is not -now a condition precedent to copyright, but is only a condition of -the right of action upon infringement. It is, I think, questionable -whether the failure of A to print a proper notice will affect the -right of B, his assignee, to sue for an infringement subsequent to -the assignment. One who makes an unauthorised copy of a literary or -artistic work is not exempt from liability merely because he can -show that the copy from which he copied had no notice. His defence -must be that such copy left the proprietor's hands without a proper -notice.[1393] The question has been raised, but not answered, whether -if the proprietor grant a licence, and the licensee omits to insert a -proper notice, the proprietor is without a remedy.[1394] - -Formerly if a book were published in several volumes at different -times, it was sufficient to place the notice on the first volume -only,[1395] but now since the Act of 1891[1396] each volume of a book -and each number of a periodical is to be considered an independent -publication, and the notice must be placed on each volume or part -accordingly. - -There is no special provision in the law of the United States as to -newspapers and other periodical works, therefore each issue must be -considered a separate work, and the requisite formalities complied -with in each case. - -_Notice on Painting._--It was contended in one case[1397] that there -was no necessity to place the notice on an original painting, the Act -only requiring notices to be placed on copies made therefrom. The -Court held, however, that the original work was a "copy" within the -meaning of the provision in the Act, and must be inscribed with the -notice accordingly. - -_Maps in Atlas._--Each map contained in an atlas does not require to -be separately copyrighted, or bear a separate notice of copyright. -They are protected by a copyright of the entire work.[1398] The same -would, no doubt, apply to a volume of engravings or other works of art. - -=Publication.=--There appears to be some doubt as to whether -publication is necessary as a condition precedent to the statutory -rights. The duration of copyright is to be measured from the date -of the deposit of the title or description with the Librarian of -Congress; but probably that in itself gives no proprietary right -either in the title or the book. It has been suggested that it gives -an "inchoate right," or an "equitable right, which Chancery will -protect until the other acts may be done."[1399] It may be that -when the formalities have been completed by deposit of copies the -right then acquired dates back to the deposit of title so as to give -a statutory remedy against an infringement made between the two -dates.[1400] When the copies of the book have been deposited, the -express conditions precedent of the statute have been performed; but -the question has been raised whether there will be copyright unless -within a reasonable time thereafter the book or other work is put -in circulation among the public. In _Boucicault_ v. _Hart_[1401] -the Court held that although the title-page had been filed there -could be no copyright without "a deposit of copies and publication." -In _The Jewellers' Mercantile Agency_ v. _Jewellers' Publishing -Company_[1402] the New York Supreme Court, on a question as to -whether an action should be founded on the Statute or at Common -Law, held that although there had been deposit of title and deposit -of copies in accordance with the Acts there could be no copyright, -but only a common law right unless there had been a "publication." -In _Ladd_ v. _Oxnard_,[1403] the circuit judge, Putnam, thought -that the statutory right was perfected by deposit of copies, and -that from then, until "publication," there were concurrent remedies -under the Statute and at Common Law. After the decision in _Ladd_ v. -_Oxnard_[1404] the decision in _The Jewellers' Mercantile Agency_ v. -_Jewellers' Publishing Company_ was reviewed by the Appeal Court of New -York.[1405] The Court was unanimous in reversing the judgment below, -and holding that the plaintiff's right of action was a statutory right -and not a common law right. Three of the judges gave their decision on -the ground that the facts proved showed a publication subsequent to -deposit; but the other three gave it on the ground that the deposit -itself was a publication and completed the statutory copyright. It is -submitted that this latter is the correct view, and that, therefore, -after deposit of the title-page and deposit of copies in due form -nothing further is necessary to acquire copyright. - -Apart from the question as to whether publication is necessary to -complete the statutory right, several questions of importance may -arise on the fact or date of publication, _e. g._: - - 1. The remedy at Common Law depends entirely on the - absence of publication. - 2. The due performance of the formalities of deposit - of title and copies are relative to the date of - publication. - -The essence of publication consists in a disclosure of the thing -itself, so that the public without discrimination of persons have -an opportunity of enjoying its use.[1406] The most usual method of -publication of a literary or artistic work is the offering for sale, -selling, or giving away of copies.[1407] It is not necessary that a -copy of the book be actually sold, it is sufficient if it be offered -to the public. The act of publication is the act of the author, and -cannot be dependent on the act of the purchaser.[1408] Gratuitous -distribution to members of the public, or leaving copies in a place to -which the public have access, such as an hotel, is publication.[1409] -The sale or distribution of copies, however, may be so limited to -individuals, or particular classes of individuals, as not to amount -to publication. When before the advertised date of publication -an advance lot of books in quires unbound were sent to different -publishers, with a request not to publish until bound copies should -be sent, it was held, in the absence of evidence that the request -was not complied with, that there had been no publication.[1410] The -author of a literary or artistic work may circulate it among his -friends, or among a restricted class subject to conditions, and at -the same time retain his common law right in unpublished work.[1411] -A teacher may circulate copies of his work among the members of his -class without publishing the work.[1412] In one case a sheet of -miniature copies of engravings was sent round to picture dealers -solely for their inspection and to solicit orders. This was held not -to be a publication.[1413] Copies of an unpublished opera given to the -performers marked "Right of Representation and Reproduction Reserved" -is not a publication.[1414] The transmission of news over telegraphic -instruments does not constitute a general publication.[1415] In order -to protect the common law right the distribution of copies must be -strictly confined to individuals or to a class. If the man in the -street may buy it there is a publication even although the work is of -such a nature (_e. g._ a trade journal) as will practically be confined -to a limited class.[1416] It does not make it the less a publication -that every purchaser of, or subscriber to, a literary or artistic work -is bound by restrictive conditions as to its use. So long as the work -is put within the reach of all and not limited to a class, it matters -not what conditions are imposed on the individual subscriber.[1417] -Thus the sale of a book to all who paid for a course of instruction -in a system for training the memory was held to be a publication -notwithstanding that each sale was made under a contract not to -disclose the contents to others.[1418] A book may be published -although it is not sold but issued on loan to subscribers with an -express condition that the copy must be returned on the expiry of the -subscription.[1419] Publication of a book in a serial form reserving -all other rights to the author, is such a publication as to abandon -the copyright to the world, if steps have not been taken to copyright -it before such publication.[1420] - -I have little doubt, but there is no definite authority, that a book -may be published so as to destroy the common law right, although it is -not printed. Circulation in manuscript would be enough.[1421] - -The public performance of a dramatic piece is not a publication of -it so as to deprive the proprietor of his common law right in the -manuscript.[1422] The same rule probably applies to the oral delivery -of a lecture or sermon, unless there is some act or circumstance from -which it can be implied that the speaker intended to abandon the -literary matter to the free use of the public. - -It has been held by the Circuit Court of Appeals[1423] that the -exhibition of a picture in a public gallery is a publication of the -picture so as to destroy the owner's rights, unless he has taken steps -to secure a copyright. One of the three judges dissented from the -judgment, but on what ground does not appear. In a case decided by a -district judge,[1424] shortly before the one just cited, the judge -thought that the exhibition of a painting in a public saloon did not -work a forfeiture of the right to obtain copyright unless the general -public was permitted to take copies at pleasure, and such permission -would not be assumed in the absence of direct evidence. The same judge -decided that neither the sale of a replica in a different size made -before the principal picture by way of a study nor the publication of -a crayon sketch in an exhibition catalogue was a publication of the -picture. It is submitted that the exhibition of a picture in a public -gallery is a publication. It seems to afford the public an opportunity -of making every legitimate use of the contents of the picture. They -could not make any greater use of the contents if they bought an -engraving of the picture. It would not even then be lawful for them to -make copies of the picture. As to the replica and the rough sketches -in the catalogue, no doubt they were not "copies" of the picture, and -therefore their publication could not entirely destroy the copyright -in the picture; but if these were published without being copyrighted -or without statutory notice, clearly the public could copy them, and -to that extent the copyright in the design of the original picture -would have been forfeited. - -An unauthorised publication will not operate to forfeit the common law -rights;[1425] but if authorised by the owner it is immaterial that the -publication constitutes a breach of contract with a licensee or part -assignee.[1426] Thus the author of a German unpublished play conveyed -the performing rights in the United States to a citizen of the States, -and contracted with him that he would not publish the play as a -book. In breach of this contract the play was published in Germany -under the authority of the author. It was held that such publication -destroyed all literary rights in the United States.[1427] When the -defendant relies on previous publication he must definitely prove such -publication, and that it was made with the consent of the owner.[1428] - -_The Library of Congress._--All the copyright records are in the -Library of Congress at Washington, and are kept by the Librarian of -Congress, who makes an annual report to Congress of the number and -description of copyright publications. - -The Librarian of Congress must record the name of each copyright work -in a book kept for the purpose. The form of entry is as follows: - - "Library of Congress, to wit,--Be it remembered that on the - ----day of ----, A. B. of ----, hath deposited in this office the - title of a book (map, chart, or otherwise as the case may be, or - description of the article), the title or description of which - is in the following words, to wit: (here insert the title or - description), the right whereof he claims as author (originator or - proprietor as the case may be), in conformity with the laws of the - United States respecting copyright.--C. D., Librarian of Congress." - -The librarian must give a copy of the title or description under -the seal of the Librarian of Congress to the proprietor whenever he -requires it. - -The Librarian of Congress is entitled to receive from the persons to -whom the services are rendered the following fees:[1429] - - 1. For recording title or description 50 c. - 2. For a copy of such record under seal 50 c. - 3. For recording and certifying a written consignment $1 - 4. For a copy of an assignment $1 - -All fees so received must be paid into the Treasury of the United -States. - -The charge for recording the title or description of the work of a -person not a citizen of, or resident in, the United States is $1. - -The Librarian forwards a note of the title-entries to the Secretary -of the Treasury, who must prepare and print, at intervals of not more -than a week, catalogues of such title-entries for distribution to the -collectors of customs of the United States and to the postmasters of -all post-offices receiving foreign mails; and such weekly lists as -they are issued are furnished to all parties desiring them at a sum -not exceeding $5 per annum.[1430] - -The Secretary and Postmaster-General are empowered and required to -make and enforce such rules and regulations as will prevent the -importation into the United States of all articles prohibited by the -Copyright Acts.[1431] - -The Postmaster to whom a copyright book, title, or other article is -delivered for the Librarian of Congress must, if requested, give -a receipt therefor, and when so delivered he must mail it to its -destination.[1432] - -For every failure on the part of the proprietor of any copyright to -deliver or deposit in the mail either of the published copies, or -description, or photograph, the proprietor of the copyright is liable -to a penalty of $25, to be recovered by the Librarian of Congress -in the name of the United States in an action in the nature of an -action of debt in any district court of the United States, within the -jurisdiction of which the delinquent may reside or be found.[1433] - - -SECTION IV.--IMMORAL WORKS. - -A work containing immoral matter will not receive the protection of -the Courts.[1434] A song containing the verse, "She's the hottest -thing you ever seen," was not protected.[1435] The introduction of -obscene, profane, or libellous matter into a literary or artistic -work does not render it _publici juris_; the copyright remains, but -the Court will not entertain any action upon it. Thus in _Broder_ v. -_Zeno_[1436] the Court said that their decision to refuse protection -would not prevent the complainants from republishing their song, and -by omitting the objectionable word thus secure a valid copyright. -If an action is brought for the piracy of immoral matter it will be -dismissed without costs to either party. The fact that a work such -as playing cards may, and probably will, be used for an unlawful -purpose, does not disentitle it to protection.[1437] A guide to the -turf has been protected,[1438] so has a list of records and trotters -and pacers.[1439] - - -SECTION V.--DURATION OF COPYRIGHT. - - "Copyrights shall be granted for the term of twenty-eight years - from the time of recording the title thereof."[1440] - - "The author, inventor, or designer, if he be still living, or his - widow or children if he be dead, shall have the same exclusive - right continued for the further term of fourteen years, upon - recording the title of the work or description of the article so - secured a second time, and complying with all other regulations - in regard to original copyright, within six months before the - expiration of the first term: and such persons shall, within two - months from the date of said renewal, cause a copy of the record - thereof to be published in one or more newspapers printed in the - United States for the space of four weeks."[1441] - -In _Callaghan_ v. _Myers_[1442] it was said that if by an error the -notice of copyright on a published book bore a date prior to the -actual year of publication the result would be not that the notice was -bad, but that the term of copyright would date from the year specified -in the notice. - -Notice that the right to obtain an extended term is not given to the -"proprietor;" therefore an employer whose servant did literary or -artistic work in his employment would not be entitled to an extension. -It seems doubtful whether the servant in such a case, although the -actual author, would be entitled to an extension: it is thought not. - -If the author, inventor, or designer assigns his copyright, he does -not part with his right to an extension unless this is clearly -intended by the transfer.[1443] From the terms of the statute one -might doubt whether the right to obtain an extension is assignable. -No doubt a contract to assign it would be valid, and a document -purporting to assign it would be held equivalent to such, so that on -the extension being acquired the purchaser could compel an assignment. - -If the author of an unpublished work conveys all right, title, and -interest in it to another, he certainly cannot take out an extended -term to run against his grantee.[1444] It seems doubtful whether he -can take it out at all. Certainly his grantee cannot, and probably the -author could not for his benefit. - -If the original term is invalid there will be no right to a -renewal.[1445] - - - - -CHAPTER III - -WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE COPYRIGHT? - - -Under Section 4952 of the Revised Statutes as amended by the Act of -March 3, 1891, the statutory right is vested in "the author, inventor, -designer, or proprietor, and the executors, administrators, or assigns -of any such person." - -Care must be taken in entering a copyright that it is entered by and -in the name of the owner of the common law right in the literary or -artistic work. The entry does not require to be in the name of the -author or to disclose who he is. It must be in the name of the owner, -and if entered in the name of any other person it will be a bad -entry.[1446] Thus, when a printer in his own name copyrighted a book -of which he was not the owner, he could not maintain an action either -for his own use or for the use of the owner.[1447] Every action for -infringement must be brought in the name of the owner of the copyright -for the time being; and it would seem, if he is not the author -himself, he must show a derivative title from the author.[1448] The -owner of a manuscript by an author unknown would not be entitled to -copyright as "proprietor" and first publisher.[1449] - - -SECTION I.--THE AUTHOR. - -_Prima facie_ the author is owner of the copyright. If he is in a -position of employment the right in his work may vest on creation -in his employer; or he may have contracted in such a way that the -property passes to another.[1450] But some relationship or contract -must be shown whereby the right passes, otherwise it remains the -property of the author. The author who does work on commission does -not necessarily part with his copyright, it may be expressly or -impliedly reserved;[1451] neither does an author under a publishing -agreement necessarily convey his rights to the publisher.[1452] In -either case it will depend on a construction of the contract between -the parties. - -The author of a literary or artistic work is the man who creates -it in his mind.[1453] He may employ others in the execution of the -details or in the merely manual or mechanical work and yet remain the -sole author. The author of a photograph is the man who arranges the -subject and makes choice of the time and light. It does not make him -any less the sole owner of the work that he employs some one to take -off the cap or perform other manual details. A man who compiles a -dictionary or a directory may be the sole owner of it, although he has -had scores of employees working up the separate parts for him.[1454] -But to constitute one an author he must show that his was the -"inventive" or "creative" mind; it will not do that he has suggested -a scheme and employed or procured some one else to carry it out -independently;[1455] he must by his own intellectual labour applied to -the material of his composition produce an arrangement or compilation -new in itself.[1456] There may be joint authorship resulting in -co-ownership. - -When an unpublished work or copyright belongs to two or more persons -in common, whether as co-authors or co-assignees, either of the two -may alone sue a wrongdoer,[1457] and either may at his own expense -publish the book without accounting to his co-owner.[1458] - - -SECTION II.--THE EMPLOYER. - -Probably in the case of a paid servant who does literary or artistic -work for his master in the course of his employment, the master is the -proprietor of the work even in its embryo state, and no conveyance, -transfer, or consent by or on behalf of the servant is necessary -to entitle the master to enter the copyright in his own name as -proprietor. In such a case he does not require to show that he is -the "author" of the work; he is a proprietor, and is entitled to the -copyright as such.[1459] - -In the case of work done on commission the relationship of the parties -is somewhat different. The author is not a servant but an independent -contractor, and therefore his work does not _ab initio_ vest in his -employer. There is a strong presumption in the case of a commission to -execute work not in existence at the time, that the work when executed -is to belong unreservedly to the person giving the order.[1460] The -question depends, however, entirely on what the actual agreement -between the parties was.[1461] An author, although he does work on -commission, may well reserve the copyright to himself, giving to his -employer a licence for a particular purpose only.[1462] If it has -been agreed expressly or impliedly that the employer is to become -owner of the copyright, then the delivery of the manuscript or other -work in fulfilment of the contract will pass the author's literary or -artistic common law right to the employer, and the latter may take -the copyright in his own name as proprietor.[1463] If the term of the -contract were that the author should retain the copyright, copyright -must be entered in the author's name. - - -SECTION III.--THE STATE. - -It has been questioned whether the Government of the United States or -an individual State could take out a copyright for itself.[1464] It -does seem doubtful whether the State can _ab initio_ be the proprietor -of a copyright. As was pointed out in _Banks_ v. _Manchester_:[1465] - - "The State cannot properly be called a citizen of the United - States or a resident therein, nor could it ever be in a condition - to fall within the description in the Revised Statutes, section - 4952 or section 4954." - -A corporation, however, has been held capable of entering itself as -the original proprietor of a copyright.[1466] In the case of _Heine_ -v. _Appleton_,[1467] where an artist was employed on a Government -expedition to Japan on the terms that all his artistic and scientific -work should be the property of the United States Government, and the -artistic material was, with the artist's consent, published by order -of Congress in the report of the expedition, it was said that the -artistic matter had been abandoned to the free use of the public. -It does not appear, however, whether Congress, if they had taken -steps, could or could not have secured a copyright in the literary -or artistic matter in the report. Whether or not the Government -of the United States or a State could be lawfully entered as the -original proprietors of a work, it cannot be seriously doubted that as -assignees they could acquire a copyright in matter already copyrighted -by an individual. This they would be entitled to purchase and hold -as any other Government property, such as ships, guns, and stores. A -copyright might be taken out by an individual minister for the benefit -of the people.[1468] - - -SECTION IV.--THE ASSIGNEE. - -Before copyright has been secured the common law rights in a -manuscript or other unpublished work may be conveyed by parol; no -writing or evidence in writing is required.[1469] If a publisher takes -a copyright in his own name with the knowledge and acquiescence of the -author, the publisher is the lawful owner of the copyright subject -to his accounting to the author in terms of the contract between -them.[1470] Under the Act of 1831, and until the Revised Statutes, -1874, were passed, it would seem that a manuscript could not be -assigned except by writing.[1471] Although the common law exclusive -right of first production may pass by parol or delivery, it does not -necessarily pass with possession or even with the ownership of the -manuscript or other work. An author or other proprietor may sell -documents, pictures, or other literary or artistic articles, reserving -to himself the right of publication and right to acquire copyright -and subsequently multiply copies.[1472] If an author's manuscripts -are sold in execution, the purchaser does not acquire the right of -publication. - -After copyright has been secured the assignment is governed by -statute. Section 4955 of the Revised Statutes, 1874, provides that -copyrights are assignable in law by any instrument in writing, and -such assignment must be recorded in the office of the Librarian of -Congress within sixty days after its execution; in default of which -it is void as against any subsequent purchaser or mortgagee for a -valuable consideration without notice. - -It must be considered at least doubtful whether this section affects -a question between the parties or between the assignee and one who -does not claim through the assignor.[1473] Mr. Drone, in his work on -copyright, expresses an opinion that the first part of the section is -merely permissive, and intended to show that if the assignment is -in writing no formalities are required. I doubt if this is sound. I -think that even as between assignor and the assignee the assignment -must be in writing; but I think the assignee can, without recording -the assignment, sue his assignor or any third person, except those who -claim a title through the assignor. - -An agreement to assign may be made by parol, and where there was no -subsequent assignment in proper form damages could be recovered for -breach of the agreement.[1474] - -Any alien friend may be an assignee of a copyright in the United -States.[1475] - -The assignee appears to take with the copyright an assignment of the -assignor's choses in action; he has been held entitled to sue in -respect of infringements committed prior to assignment.[1476] - -An assignment need not necessarily be made by conveying the author's -entire right to one person. It may be conveyed to two or more persons -in common, or an undivided interest may be conveyed to one or more -persons.[1477] We have seen that the statutory right of reproduction -is divisible from the right of property in the concrete work.[1478] -Thus an author may sell his painting or manuscript and retain the -right to multiply copies. Further, the various rights of copyright -may be split up as the holder pleases;[1479] one may have the right -of printing, another the right of translating, and a third the right -of performing. The assignment may also be limited as to a particular -country or countries,[1480] the right to perform or print in America -may be given to A, and the right to perform or print in Great Britain -to B. Probably an assignment cannot be limited to a portion of the -United States.[1481] I do not think that a copyright could be assigned -for a limited time.[1482] - -As a rule a licensee cannot sue in respect of an infringement; but -a licensee has been held the proper party to sue when he was an -exclusive licensee, and by the terms of his licence was to bring all -necessary suits.[1483] Copyright passes by bequest or on intestacy to -the executors or administrators of the owner.[1484] On bankruptcy the -bankrupt's copyrights may be applied for the benefit of the estate; -but it would probably be necessary for the Court to order a transfer -in conformity with the requirements of the Copyright Acts.[1485] -Probably a bankrupt's manuscripts and other private matter could not -be published for the benefit of the estate without the consent of the -bankrupt. - - - - -CHAPTER IV - -INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT - - -The exclusive right given by the statute is "the sole liberty of -printing, reprinting, publishing, completing, copying, executing, -finishing, and vending ... and, in the case of a dramatic composition, -of publicly performing or representing it or causing it to be -performed or represented by others; and authors or their assigns shall -have exclusive right to dramatize and translate any of their works for -which copyright shall have been obtained under the laws of the United -States."[1486] - - -SECTION I.--WHAT IS A PIRATICAL COPY. - -A copy of a literary or artistic work is such a reproduction of the -original as will serve in whole or in part as a substitute for the -original. Thus the plate from which a piratical engraving is intended -to be struck is not a copy of the original engraving amounting to -an infringement.[1487] Neither when several stones are required to -produce a lithograph is an impression of the first stone only giving -a mere outline an infringement.[1488] But a lithograph may be an -infringement of a photograph if it produces the general conception -even although the artistic detail and peculiar merit of the photograph -are not reproduced.[1489] It has also been held that a photograph may -be infringed by the design thereof being stamped on leather for a -chair seat.[1490] A perforated scroll used for a mechanical musical -instrument, such as a pianola or aeolian, is not a piratical copy of -the original music.[1491] - -It is equally an infringement to make copies of a copyright work for a -private distribution as it is to make them for sale.[1492] Strictly, -even a single copy made for private use would be an infringement. - -=Copying may be Indirect.=--A piratical taking need not necessarily -be made direct from an authorised copy of the work alleged to be -infringed. It may be taken from a derivative work, for instance, a -painting may be infringed by copying an engraving made from it;[1493] -or it may be taken from another unauthorised work. It would seem that -it is not considered an infringement of copyright to publish and sell -copies taken from the work before it was copyrighted, even although -published and sold after it was copyrighted.[1494] It might be a -breach of contract or common law right. - -=The Intention need not be Bad.=--There is no necessity for the -plaintiff in an action for infringement to show either that the -defendant when he took the matter knew that it was protected by -copyright, or that he believed the use which he was making of the -plaintiff's work was an unfair one.[1495] The defendant may have been -equally ignorant of fact and law, and yet he will be responsible -for the result of his actions. Conversely, if in fact the defendant -has not made an unfair use of the plaintiff's copyright work, it -is immaterial to show either that he thought he was infringing the -plaintiff's copyright or that he intended to carry his work further -and actually to infringe the plaintiff's rights.[1496] The intention -of the defendant, however, may be material as evidence in a doubtful -case.[1497] - -=Proof of Copying.=--The onus of proving an infringement is on the -party making the charge.[1498] Mere similarity is not sufficient; -he must show that the work charged as a piracy was taken from his -copyright work. The strongest evidence is usually in the coincidence -of errors; but a few solitary instances are not conclusive. In a -question between the authors of two rival law works,[1499] it was held -that the duplication of a few errors in citations was not sufficient -evidence of piracy where there was obviously a great deal of further -work and labour expended in the preparation of the alleged infringing -work. In a question of an alleged infringing digest,[1500] it was held -that the mere verbal identity of the summary of one case where a large -number of cases had been digested was not sufficient proof. - -=No Monopoly in Subject-Matter.=--The right of copyright is an -exclusive right of reproducing the whole or any part of an original -literary or artistic work. It differs from a right of patent in that -it does not prohibit another from producing and reproducing a work -identically the same as the protected work, provided that he does so -by going to the common sources of information and not by copying the -protected work. Copyright creates no monopoly in the subject-matter. -One man may compile tables of shipping and railway statistics; another -may, without infringing the former's copyright, collect the same -material and work it up for himself, producing, if accurately done and -on the same principle, a very similar result.[1501] In the same way -arithmetics,[1502] translations,[1503] school grammars,[1504] maps -of a particular country,[1505] biographies,[1506] lithographs,[1507] -law books,[1508] and other works[1509] do not entitle their author -to say to a subsequent worker in the same field that as he was there -first he has a right to exclude others from competition. In one -case[1510] it was attempted to set up a monopoly in the biography of -President Garfield, on the ground that the President had selected -a particular person for the work. The contention was rejected by -the Court. Probably the only case in which an argument in favour of -monopoly in a certain subject-matter has been sustained is that of -_Thomas_ v. _Lennox_.[1511] The subject of the action was Gounod's -Oratorio _The Redemption_. A pianoforte arrangement had been published -without acquiring copyright, but the orchestral score had never -been published. The defendants procured a composer to compose an -orchestral score from the pianoforte arrangement. This they publicly -performed. In an action for infringement of the common law right in -the plaintiff's unpublished orchestral score, the Court, in granting -an injunction, said: - - "In this respect an opera is more like a patented invention than - a common book; he who shall obtain similar results, better or - worse, by similar means, though the opportunity is furnished by - an unprotected book, should be held to infringe the rights of the - composer." - -It is almost certain that this is bad law;[1512] it is contrary to the -whole principle of copyright, and there is no substantial reason why -an exception should be made in favour of a musical adaptation and not -in that of a map or any other literary or musical work. - -=Taking a Substantial Part.=--In _Lawrence_ v. _Dana_, Clifford, J., -said: - - "Copying is not confined to literal repetition, but includes also - the various modes in which the matter of any publication may be - adopted, imitated, or transferred, with more or less colourable - alterations to disguise the source from which the material was - derived; nor is it necessary that the whole, or even the larger - portion of the work, should be taken in order to constitute an - invasion of copyright."[1513] - -In _Folsom_ v. _Marsh_, Story, J., said: - - "If so much is taken that the value of the original is - sensibly diminished, or the labours of the original author are - substantially, to an injurious extent, appropriated by another, - that is sufficient in point of law to constitute a piracy _pro - tanto_. The entirety of the copyright is the property of the - author, and it is no defence that another person has appropriated - a part and not the whole of any property."[1514] - -To constitute an infringement there must be a taking of a material -part of the original matter from another's work.[1515] To determine -what is a material part is often a question of extreme difficulty and -nicety. It depends on the quantity and quality of the matter taken, -the object with which it is taken, the relation of the works to one -another, the proportion of the matter taken to the complete works, but -more particularly to the work of the borrower, the extent to which the -work borrowed from is injured, and the extent to which the borrower -makes profit from the introduction of the borrowed matter.[1516] In -the case of _Morrison_ v. _Pettibone_,[1517] a district judge held -that the taking of the mere outline of a copyright photograph was -not a copying within the meaning of the statutes. In this case it -had been intended by the defendant to make an entire reproduction of -the photograph by the process of lithography. The stones were all -in actual readiness, but only one had been used, giving the initial -colour and exterior lines of the intended lithograph. In one case -where a few references had been taken by the author of one law book -from another, a preliminary injunction was refused on the ground of -small amount.[1518] The alleged infringement of a copyright photograph -need not, however, be substantially identical in order to ensure -conviction; it is sufficient if a substantial portion of the main -design, distinctive ideas, or characteristic features are taken.[1519] -Taking the boundaries of townships from a copyright map has been held -to be an infringement.[1520] The taking of a single scene from the -drama of another may be an infringement.[1521] It is no answer to an -action for infringement to say that the defendant's book in no way -rivals or competes with the plaintiff's work.[1522] That is merely a -question of damages. - -=Fair Use.=--Although a man is not permitted to take the whole or -part of another's work in the compilation of his own, he is entitled -to make of that other's work what is known as a "fair use," for the -purpose of a new work. One may use another's book as a guide to -authorities;[1523] for supplying suggestions as to treatment of a -subject;[1524] and for the purpose of checking the accuracy[1525] of -a completed work. One may use it as a storehouse of information; but -in a rival work it will be an infringement to take any of the facts as -arranged, or to take any of the language of the other's book, except -for the purposes of criticism. - -Shipman, J., says in _Banks_ v. _M'Divitt_:[1526] - - "I do not understand that the rule prohibits an examination of - previous works by the compiler before he has finished his own - book, or the mere obtaining of ideas from such previous works. - - "It may be laid down as the clear result of the authorities in - cases of this nature that the true test of piracy or not is - to ascertain whether the defendant has in fact used the plan, - arrangements, and illustrations of the plaintiff as the model of - his own book with colourable alterations and variations only to - disguise the use thereof; or whether his work is the result of his - own labour, skill, and use of common materials and common sources - of knowledge open to all men, and the resemblances are either - accidental or arising from the nature of the subject."[1527] - -A dramatist must not take the plot, the characters, the scenes, or -situations from the drama of another.[1528] A musician must not -take his melody from that of another composer.[1529] The compiler -of a digest must not borrow verbatim from the headnotes in the -reports.[1530] The compiler of a directory must discover and make his -own selection of the matter to be comprised in it.[1531] The designer -of a map must not take the position of his towns and boundaries from -a copyright map.[1532] The compiler of a dictionary must not take his -definitions from another's copyright dictionary.[1533] The writer -of a law book must not take his citations and references from the -work of another.[1534] It is no answer to a charge of infringement -for the defendant to say he could have produced the same result with -a little extra trouble. He is not thereby entitled to appropriate -the plaintiff's labours.[1535] A man may take ideas from the work -of another and put his own material into a similar form.[1536] If -one man writes a book on physiognomy on a new system, another may -adopt his system and from his own research write a similar book. So -the copyrighting of tables showing the standing and credit of the -citizens of a state does not prevent another from compiling similar -tables.[1537] The sketch of a detective which was said to convey an -original idea was held not to have been infringed by another drawing -carrying out the same idea but differently executed.[1538] There is -no copyright in a method of advertising,[1539] so that if a tradesman -issues a circular describing a particular method of obtaining goods -by collecting discount coupons, although another tradesman may not -copy his circular he may adopt the same system and issue a catalogue -of his own, describing the system in his own words.[1540] There -is no infringement of a drama in adopting from it a mechanical -contrivance, such as a tank filled with water to represent a river -on the stage.[1541] In the case of _Bullinger_ v. _MacKay_[1542] it -is suggested by Benedict, J., in his judgment that there might be -copyright in a novel system of arranging matter in a statistical work. -It is submitted that this is wrong, and that even if the arrangement -was an original one there would be no infringement in taking the -method of arrangement and applying it independently. - -=Improvement no Excuse.=--It is no answer to an action for -infringement for the defendant to say that he has made a good work out -of a bad one, and so benefited the literary or artistic world.[1543] -Even although I correct errors and make necessary additions so as -to create from a worthless a useful book, I am not entitled so to -deal with another author's work without his permission. Good or bad, -an author is entitled to do what he likes with his own work and to -prevent others making an unfair use of his labours.[1544] - -=Different Object.=--When a subsequent book is written with a -different object from a previous publication it may be legitimate to -take considerable extracts from the earlier work. To what extent this -will be permitted must depend upon the relative value of the matter -taken, and the purpose for which it is taken.[1545] It is not an -absolute answer to an action for infringement to say that the matter -was taken for an entirely different purpose from that for which it was -used in the original work. If the taking in any way supersedes the -uses to which the matter taken might have been put by its original -author there is an infringement.[1546] Thus where the main design of -a photograph was reproduced on stamped leather,[1547] and where the -author of a life of Garfield for the young borrowed largely from a -biography of Garfield written for political campaigns,[1548] there was -held to be infringement. It is the nature and value of the extracts -more than their length or number that must determine whether it was -legitimate to take them or not. - -In _Gray_ v. _Russell_,[1549] Story, J., says: - - "_Non numerantur, ponderantur_; the quintessence of a work may - be piratically extracted so as to leave a mere _caput mortuum_, - by a selection of all the important passages in a comparatively - moderate space." - -=Extract for Review.=--Extracts may be taken from a work for the -purpose of reviewing or criticising it, or writing a treatise in -answer. - - "Reviewers may make extracts sufficient to show the merits or - demerits of the work, but they cannot so exercise the privilege as - to supersede the original work. Sufficient may be taken to give a - correct view of the whole; but the privilege of making extracts - is limited to those objects, and cannot be exercised to such an - extent that the review shall become a substitute for the book - reviewed."[1550] - -A reviewer must not tear the heart out of a book. - -=Abridgments.=--What is called a _bona fide_ abridgment is held to be -a fair use of another's work.[1551] The opinions of the judges in the -older cases were derived from the English case law on the subject. I -think it is doubtful whether the English abridgment cases would now be -sustained, as the principle involved is clearly against all the more -recent doctrines as to infringement. In America, however, the judges, -although disagreeing more or less with the case law as to abridgment, -have felt themselves bound by precedent to hold that a fair abridgment -is not a piracy. - -In _Story_ v. _Holcombe_,[1552] M'Lean, J., said: - - "If this was an open question, I should feel little difficulty in - determining it. An abridgment should contain an epitome of the - work abridged--the principles in the condensed form of an original - book. Now it would be difficult to maintain that such a work - did not affect the sale of the book abridged. The argument that - the abridgment is suited to a different class of readers by its - cheapness, and will be purchased on that account by persons unable - and unwilling to purchase the work at large, is not satisfactory. - This to some extent may be true, but are there not many who are - able to buy the original work who will be satisfied with the - abridgment.... The reasoning on which the right to abridge is - founded therefore seems to me to be false in fact. It does to - some extent in all cases, and not unfrequently to a great extent, - impair the rights of the author--a right secured by law.... But - a contrary doctrine has been long established in England under - the Statute of Anne, which in this respect is similar to our own - Statute, and in this country the same doctrine has prevailed. I am - therefore bound by precedent, and I yield to it in this instance - more as a principle of law than a rule of reason or justice."[1553] - - -In _Lawrence_ v. _Dana_,[1554] Clifford, J., took a similar view: - - "Whatever might be thought, if the question was an open one, it is - too late to agitate it at the present time, as the rule is settled - that the publication of an unauthorised but _bona fide_ abridgment - or digest of a published literary copyright, in a certain class of - cases at least, is no infringement of the original." - -The learned judge then lays down some restriction on the free right to -abridge: - - "Unless it be denied that a legal copyright secures to the - author 'the sole right and liberty of printing, reprinting, - publishing, and binding the book' copyrighted, it cannot be held - that an abridgment or digest of any kind of the contents of the - copyrighted publication, which is of a character to supersede - the original work, is not an infringement of the franchise - secured by the copyright. What constitutes a fair and _bona fide_ - abridgment in the sense of law is, or may be, under particular - circumstances, one of the most difficult questions which can well - arise for judicial consideration; but it is well settled that a - mere selection or different arrangement of parts of the original - work into a smaller compass will not be held to be such an - abridgment."[1555] - -I think that to-day the Courts in America as well as England would, -if the question of abridgments were to come before them, cut down the -right of the abridger very considerably. I could not advise any one -that he was safe in making an abridgment of another's work; certainly -he must avoid making any extracts from the work abridged; the use -of any of the author's language literally or colourably taken would -undoubtedly be piratical. - -=Translations.=--Authors and their assigns have the exclusive -right of translating their works into any language.[1556] Before -1891 the translating right had to be expressly reserved by the -author, presumably by notice printed on every published copy of his -work.[1557] No reservation is now required. Before 1870 there was no -exclusive right of translation at all.[1558] The same remarks apply -to the right of dramatization. The right of dramatization probably -does not prevent a stranger from making a dramatic version for his own -private use; but it would prohibit any public use of such a version -whether by publication in print or representation on the stage. - -=Dramatic Performing Right.=--In the case of dramatic works the -author and his assigns have the sole right of performing the same -in public.[1559] This right was first given by Act of Congress in -1856.[1560] In _Daly_ v. _Palmer_,[1561] Blatchford, J., defines the -scope of the Act: - - "A composition, in the sense in which that word is used in the Act - of 1856, is a written or literary work invented or set in order. - A dramatic composition is such a work in which the narrative is - not related, but is represented by dialogue and action. When a - dramatic composition is represented in dialogue and action by - persons who represent it as real by performing or going through - with the various parts or characters assigned to them severally, - the composition is acted, performed, or represented; and if the - representation is in public, it is a public representation. - To act in the sense of the Statute is to represent as real by - countenance, voice, or gesture that which is not real. A character - in a play who goes through with a series of events on the stage - without speaking, if such be his part in the play, is none the - less an actor in it than one who, in addition to motions and - gestures, uses his voice. A pantomime is a species of theatrical - entertainment, in which the whole action is represented by - gesticulation without the use of words. A written work consisting - wholly of directions, set in order for conveying the ideas of - the author on a stage or public place by means of characters who - represent the narrative wholly by action is as much a dramatic - composition designed or suited for public representation as - if language or dialogue were used in it to convey some of the - ideas."[1562] - -It will be an infringement of performing right to take a single scene -from another's drama.[1563] It is more important to consider what is -a dramatic representation than what is a dramatic composition. If a -composition not primarily intended for representation is publicly -represented without permission, even if it was not a "dramatic -composition," the person representing will be liable for having -dramatized it if the representation is dramatic. There can be a -dramatic representation by one actor only, and many music hall songs -are undoubtedly dramatically represented. - -=Musical Rights.=--Before 1897 there was no exclusive performing right -in musical compositions as such. It might have been protected from -performance if it could be shown to be part of a dramatic piece.[1564] -By the Act of January 6, 1897, performing right in musical -compositions was first created. The protection is now substantially -the same as in the case of dramatic pieces. - - -SECTION II.--PROHIBITED ACTS, AND REMEDIES. - -It is an infringement, subject to the remedies stated below, to do any -of the following acts in respect of a copyright work. - -In the case of: - - I. _Books_:[1565] without the consent of the proprietor in - writing signed in the presence of two witnesses. - - 1. To print or publish. - 2. To dramatize or translate. - 3. To import. - 4. Knowingly to sell or expose for sale copies unlawfully made or - imported. - -The owner's remedies are: - - 1. Forfeiture of copies. - 2. Damages. - 3. Injunction. - 4. Account of profits. - - II. _Maps,_[1566] _charts, dramatic or musical compositions, prints, - art engravings, photographs, chromos, paintings, drawings, - statues, statuary models and designs for the fine arts_: - without the consent of the proprietor in writing - signed in the presence of two witnesses. - - 1. To engrave, etch, work, or copy. - 2. To print or publish. - 3. To dramatize or translate. - 4. To import. - 5. Knowingly to sell or expose for sale copies - unlawfully made or exported. - -The owner's remedies are: - - 1. Forfeiture of plates and sheets. - 2. Penalty of $1 for every sheet found in - defendant's possession. - 3. Penalty of $10 for every copy of a painting, - statue, or statuary. - 4. In the case of a photograph made from any - object not a work of fine art, the sum to - be recovered shall not be less than $100 - nor more than $5000. - 5. In the case of a work of the fine arts or - photograph thereof, the sum to be recovered - shall not be less that $250 nor - more than $10,000. - 6. Injunction. - -One-half of the penalties under the Act of March 2, 1895, -go to the proprietor of the copyright and the other half to the -use of the United States.[1567] - -A series of sheets containing tabulated information has -been held not to be entitled to protection as charts but only -as a book.[1568] An engraving or cut contained in a book or -volume will not be protected as a cut unless it is separately -copyrighted as such.[1569] - - - III. _Dramatic or musical compositions_:[1570] without the consent - of the proprietor. - - 1. Publicly to perform or represent. - -The owner's remedies are: - - 1. Damages not less than $100 for the first, - and not less than $50 for every subsequent - performance. - 2. If done wilfully and for profit it is a misdemeanour, - and the offender may on conviction be imprisoned for - a period not exceeding a year. - 3. Injunction. - -Damages cannot be recovered in a suit in equity, the remedy being -limited to an injunction and profits.[1571] - -=Account of Profits.=--The right to an account of profits is an -equitable remedy, and incidental to the statutory right, although not -expressly conferred by the statute.[1572] - -If a work is in part piratical and in part innocent, then if the -piratical part can be distinctly separated it will be separately -condemned and the profits apportioned.[1573] If the piratical matter -is so mixed up with the rest that it cannot be distinctly separated, -the profits awarded will be the whole profits on the sale of the -book.[1574] When the defendant has sold a book twice, having bought it -back second-hand, the profits include the profits on both sales.[1575] -The cost of producing copies which the defendant did not sell cannot -be estimated in reduction of profits.[1576] There will be no decree -for profits unless there are means of determining in a reliable manner -what sum the defendant received for books.[1577] - -=Damages.=--Damages may be awarded in lieu of or as supplementary to -an account of profits. The measure of damages is the diminution in the -plaintiff's sales due to the publication of the defendant's book. - -The minimum statutory damages given for infringement of performing -rights are remedial but not penal, and the strict rules of evidence -in criminal cases do not apply.[1578] The penalties given for -infringement of maps, &c., are of a penal nature.[1579] - -In respect of maps, musical and dramatic compositions, works of art, -&c., there is no right of action to recover damages merely as such; -the remedy is limited to the prescribed forfeiture and penalties.[1580] - -=Penalties.=--Penalty for "each sheet" does not mean for each copy. -Where a large number of lithograph copies of a photograph were printed -on one sheet it was held that only one penalty was recoverable for the -whole sheet.[1581] Cutting up or binding the sheets does not increase -nor diminish the number of the sheets.[1582] Only those sheets which -are "found in the defendant's possession" are penalised.[1583] They -must be alleged and proved to have been actually discovered in the -defendant's possession before the bringing of the action,[1584] and -not merely be found by the jury to have been in his possession. They -need not necessarily have been found by the plaintiff or any one -acting on his behalf.[1585] An employee who holds possession for his -master is not liable in penalties.[1586] Penalties cannot be recovered -in a suit in equity.[1587] - -=Forfeiture.=[1588]--It seems doubtful whether the forfeiture of -copies of a book under section 4964 of the Revised Statutes can be -enforced unless the whole book is copied. It was held under the Act of -1831 that they could not,[1589] but I doubt if this is sound. - -The statutes give no right of action to the proprietor of a map, -photograph, dramatic or musical work, artistic work, &c., to recover -from an infringer the value of copies which have passed from his -possession.[1590] - -=Injunction.=[1591]--A preliminary injunction is granted, but only -in a plain case,[1592] to stay further damage. The Court will always -consider which party is likely to suffer most from the erroneous -granting or refusing of an injunction. In doubtful cases an injunction -will not be granted simpliciter, but the defendants may be required to -keep an account and give a bond to answer damages.[1593] An injunction -will go at the hearing without reference to the question of special -damage.[1594] - -=Who is Liable.=--The sale of a play with a view to unauthorised -representation makes the seller a joint infringer of the performing -right.[1595] The manager of a company is not personally liable for an -infringement made by the company without his knowledge and against -his express instructions.[1596] A company is liable in penalties as -well as an individual.[1597] The printer and publisher of a piratical -book are liable equally with the writer.[1598] One who procures an -infringement to be made is liable.[1599] - -An employer whose servants or agents infringe the copyright of others -is undoubtedly liable in damages for the wrongful acts of his servants -done in the course of their employment. Thus one who compiles a -directory is responsible for the piratical acts of his canvassers, -even although they acted contrary to his express instructions.[1600] -But it has been held that a man is not liable for forfeitures or -penalties on account of acts done without his knowledge or consent -by his servants or agents in his employment. When an agent had full -authority to advertise his principal's teas as he thought fit and -pirated some election statistics in doing so, it was held that his -principal could not be liable in forfeitures or penalties for acts -done in his absence and without his authority or knowledge.[1601] In -another case it was held that the proprietor of a newspaper was not -responsible in forfeiture or penalties for a piratical copy of a map -which appeared in his newspaper during his absence from the management -and control.[1602] It will be observed that if these cases are sound -the proprietor of the copyright in a map, &c., or artistic work has -no remedy in either penalties or damages against the proprietor of -an infringing publication unless he can show that the piratical -matter was inserted with his knowledge or consent. This follows from -the above decisions that the specific penalties constitute the only -remedy by way of damages which the proprietor of these works can -recover.[1603] - -=Limitation of Action.=--No action can be maintained in any case of -forfeiture or penalty under the copyright laws unless the same is -commenced within two years after the cause of action has arisen.[1604] -This includes all claims, not only those for forfeiture and penalty -so-called, but for damages under Revised Statutes, sec. 4964, in -respect of books.[1605] - -=Acquiescence.=--Mere delay on the part of the plaintiff in pursuing -his remedy is no defence to an action for infringement.[1606] A -preliminary injunction may be refused on the ground of delay. -The remedy on the final hearing will not be barred by laches or -acquiescence, unless it is tantamount to fraud for the plaintiff to -insist on his legal rights.[1607] A right may perhaps be abandoned by -allowing numerous members of the public to exercise it without licence -or objection.[1608] - -=Pleading.=--In pleading, the plaintiff does not have to allege the -facts which make him proprietor.[1609] If it is disputed, it is for -the defendant to allege and prove facts to the contrary.[1610] The -plaintiff, however, must allege specifically a compliance with the -statutory formalities, although he need not allege that publication -took place within a reasonable time after the deposit of the -title.[1611] - -In all actions arising under the laws respecting copyrights, the -defendant may plead the general issue, and give the special matter in -evidence.[1612] - -=Penalties for affixing False Notice.=--Every person who shall insert -or impress a copyright notice, "or words of the same import, in or -upon any book, map, chart, dramatic or musical composition, print, -cut, engraving or photograph or other article, whether such article -be subject to copyright or otherwise, for which he has not obtained -a copyright, or shall knowingly issue or sell any article bearing -a notice of United States copyright which has not been copyrighted -in this country; or shall import any book, photograph, chromo or -lithograph, or other article bearing such notice of copyright, or -words of the same purport which is not copyrighted in this country, -shall be liable to a penalty of $100, recoverable one-half for the -person who shall sue for such penalty, and one-half to the use of the -United States."[1613] - -This section was amended in 1891 and again in 1897. It now reads as -above. Before 1897 the penalty was not recoverable from one who sold -copies, knowing them to contain a false notice, unless he had made -the book or caused the notice to be inserted.[1614] Before 1897 also -there could be no conviction unless the article on which the false -notice was impressed was a copyrightable article.[1615] - -The penalty is not recoverable for each copy, but for each issue. -Where chromos were struck off in large numbers for advertising -purposes, each separate batch being printed with a different trade -name for different customers, it was held that the penalty was -recoverable on each batch.[1616] For a notice to incur the penalty as -a false notice, it is not necessary that it should have been printed -as directed by the Acts. It will be subject to the penalty even -although printed in another part of the book.[1617] Rough prints of -a picture made for the purpose of advertisement bore a false notice, -and were held to have incurred the penalty.[1618] It is not unlawful -to impress a notice of copyright on a rough copy of a copyright -picture, even although such copy is not separately copyrighted.[1619] -Liability will not attach unless the notice contains the essentials -of a sufficient copyright notice, viz. "name," "claim of exclusive -right," and "date when obtained." Thus where the date was omitted no -penalties were recovered.[1620] Any one who causes a false notice to -be impressed is equally liable with the person who himself impresses -it.[1621] - -=Importing Books Printed Outside the United States.=--If copyright has -been secured in the United States, importation of any book, chromo, -lithograph, or photograph, or any plates of the same, not made from -type set, negatives, or drawings on stone made within the limits of -the United States,[1622] is prohibited, either with or without the -consent of the owner of the copyright. - -Except-- - - 1. Works printed or manufactured more than twenty years - at the date of importation.[1623] - 2. Books and pamphlets printed exclusively in languages - other than English.[1624] - 3. Books and music in raised print used exclusively by - the blind.[1625] - 4. Works imported by authority for the use of the U. S. or - the Library of Congress.[1626] - 5. Books, maps, lithographic prints and charts specially - imported, not more than two copies in any one - invoice, in good faith, for the use of societies, schools, - colleges, &c.[1627] - 6. Books imported for use and not for sale subject to - payment of duty, and not more than two copies at - any one time.[1628] - 7. Newspapers and magazines, if they contain no infringement - of U. S. copyright.[1629] - - - - -CHAPTER V - -COMMON LAW RIGHTS - - -SECTION I.--PUBLISHED WORK. - -After a work has been published it has no protection in the nature -of copyright except under an Act of Congress.[1630] If either from -the nature of the work, or from the want of conforming with the -formalities of the Act, there is no statutory protection, then there -can be no exclusive right of copying the work. After a drama or -musical piece has been published as a book, not only the copyright -in it but also the performing right depends entirely on statutory -protection.[1631] Performance on the stage not being a publication, -affects neither the right of copy nor the performing right. - -Although there is no right of copy in a published work except under -statute, there are certain common-law rights based on fraud or implied -contract which are incident thereto, and which neither depend on nor -are affected by statutory protection. - -=Passing off.=--One man is not entitled so to produce his book as -to lead the public to believe it is the work of another.[1632] The -same or a similar title is the most usual method of passing off. One -cannot monopolise a purely descriptive title such as "Latin Grammar" -or "Guide to the Alps;" but it was held a passing off to take the -title, "The _Fram_ Expedition--Nansen in the Frozen World;"[1633] so -the title "Social Register" to a select list of residents in a certain -district was infringed by a similar list bearing the title "Howard's -Social Register."[1634] It is immaterial in a question of passing off -that the book itself is unprotected from copying. Thus an English -magazine called "Chatterbox" was largely sold in the United States, -but was not copyright. Although it would have been quite legal to have -copied the English magazine and sold such copies under its own title, -it was not permissible to publish another magazine under the title of -"Chatterbox."[1635] In another case it was held that one might not -adopt the title of another's operetta for his own, even although the -songs and vocal scores of the operetta had been published under the -title without securing copyright.[1636] - -It is not a passing off to reprint another man's book and sell -it in his own name, and if the copyright has expired he has no -redress.[1637] He has no property in his own name as such. After the -copyright had expired in "Webster's Dictionary," Webster's assignee -was held to have no ground for restraining any one from reprinting and -selling "Webster's Dictionary" under that title.[1638] Even where the -name was a pseudonym, "Mark Twain," the author was not entitled to -prevent others from printing and selling some non-copyright work of -his as "Sketches by Mark Twain."[1639] - -A man may prevent the publication under his name of a book of -which he is not the author or which has been mutilated without -his authority.[1640] Henry Drummond, the evangelist, delivered a -series of lectures at Boston, Massachusetts, on "The Evolution of -Man." Eight out of twelve lectures were partially printed with -the author's consent in the British Weekly, and no copyright was -secured in America. It was held that Professor Drummond was entitled -to restrain a reprint of these published lectures reproduced with -material alterations, and represented as being the complete series of -lectures.[1641] An author who has parted with or lost his copyright -has no right to regulate the manner in which his work may be -published, provided that there is no misrepresentation causing injury -to the author's name.[1642] - -In one case,[1643] however, the defendants were restrained from a -similar proceeding on the ground of unfair trading. They bought -second-hand school books published by the plaintiff, and rebound them -so as to have the exact appearance of the plaintiff's books when new. -It was held that they were entitled to do this without infringing -any right of the plaintiff in their copyright book; but it was also -held that it was not fair trading to sell the rebound books without -sufficient notice that they were rebound. - -If there have been several editions of a book, the copyright in the -first of which only has expired, the author may restrain a publisher -from reprinting and publishing the first edition so as to lead the -public to believe that it is a later edition still copyright.[1644] -The owner of a series of novels, published in two editions, cannot -prevent a third person buying a large quantity of the sixth edition -and binding them so as to somewhat resemble the dearer edition.[1645] -When the "Encyclopaedia Britannica" was published, only a few of -the articles were copyright in America. It was held that it was -permissible for an American publisher to reprint the whole work so far -as not copyright, and to substitute new articles for the copyright -articles, and so long as there was no attempt to defraud the public to -publish it as the "Encyclopaedia Britannica" so revised.[1646] - - -SECTION II.--UNPUBLISHED WORK. - -Unpublished work is protected from interference by the common law of -England, which was brought to and adopted by the United States.[1647] -When the common law is asserted one must look to the law of the -State in which the controversy originated,[1648] since although the -common law of England was adopted, it was adopted only so far as its -principles were suited to the conditions of the colonies at the time, -and some States have incorporated with their laws more and some less. -The rights at common law in unpublished work were not abrogated by -Acts of Congress establishing copyright in published work. - -The author of an unfinished work has the right at common law to -prevent any one from making any unauthorised use of his work.[1649] -The author may without publishing make a communication of the contents -of his work to a limited number,[1650] and he may prescribe to them -what conditions he pleases.[1651] A play or song is not published -by performance nor a lecture by delivery.[1652] A work of art is -probably published by public exhibition,[1653] but not by a private -view. A spectator of an unpublished play is not entitled to reproduce -substantial parts of it even from memory.[1654] Similarly with a -musical work or lecture. - -An alien author has an equal right with a citizen of the United States -to sue at common law for interference with his manuscript.[1655] A -statutory remedy is given for the unauthorised printing or publishing -of any manuscript. The offender is liable "for all damages occasioned -by such injury."[1656] This statutory remedy neither destroys nor -limits the common law right.[1657] No new right is secured.[1658] -The practical result is that an alternative remedy in the Federal -tribunals is provided where the parties are subjects of the same -State. The plaintiff may proceed either in the State Court or the -Federal Court.[1659] Manuscript under this section is limited to the -meaning of a written document. It does not include a picture.[1660] - - - - -APPENDIX - - - - -BRITISH STATUTES - - -THE ENGRAVING COPYRIGHT ACT, 1734. - -8 GEO.

This Order shall be construed as if it formed part of The -International Copyright Act, 1886. - -(8.) This Order shall come into operation on the date hereof, which -day is in this Order referred to as the commencement of this Order. - -And the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury are to give the -necessary orders herein accordingly. - - -TREASURY MINUTE - -TREASURY MINUTE[1785] DEALING WITH THE COPYRIGHT IN GOVERNMENT -PUBLICATIONS, AUGUST 31, 1887. - -My Lords take into consideration the correspondence which has passed -between the Treasury and the Stationery Office on the subject of -Copyright in Government publications. - -The law gives to the Crown, or the assignee of the Crown, the same -right of copyright as to a private individual. Consequently, if a -servant of the Crown, in the course of his duty for which he is paid, -composes any document, or if a person is specially employed and paid -by the Crown for the purpose of composing any document, the copyright -in the document belongs to the Crown as it would in the case of a -private employer. - -The majority of publications issued under the authority of the -Government have no resemblance to the works published by private -publishers, and are published for the information of the public and -for public use, in such manner as any one of the public may wish, -and it is desirable that the knowledge of their contents should be -diffused as widely as possible. - -In other cases the Government publishes at considerable cost works in -which few persons only are interested, but which are published for the -purpose of promoting literature and science. - -These works are of precisely the same character as those published by -private enterprise. - -In order to prevent an undue burden being thrown on the taxpayer by -these works, and to enable the Government to continue the publication -of works of this character to the same extent as heretofore, it is -necessary to place them, as regards copyright, in the same position -as publications by private publishers. If the reproduction of them, -or of the most popular portions of them, by private publishers, is -permitted, the private publisher will be able to put into his own -pocket the profits of the work, which ought to go in relief of the -general public, the taxpayers. - -The question, then, is, what are the classes of works the reproduction -of which is to be restricted, or to be left unrestricted? - -Government publications may be classified as follows: - - (1.) Reports of Select Committees of the two Houses of Parliament, - or of Royal Commissions. - - (2.) Papers required by Statute to be laid before Parliament, - _e. g._, Orders in Council, Rules made by Government Departments, - Accounts, Reports of Government Inspectors. - - (3.) Papers laid before Parliament by Command, _e. g._, Treaties, - Diplomatic Correspondence, Reports from Consuls and Secretaries of - Legation, Reports of Inquiries into Explosions or Accidents, and - other Special Reports made to Government Departments. - - (4.) Acts of Parliament. - - (5.) Official books, _e. g._, Queen's Regulations for the Army or - Navy. - - (6.) Literary or quasi-literary works, _e. g._, the Reports of the - _Challenger_ Expedition, the Rolls Publication, the forthcoming - State Trials, the "Board of Trade Journal." - - (7.) Charts and Ordnance Maps. - -As respects the first five classes of publications, the reproduction -of them, with certain exceptions, should not be restricted in any form -whatever. Indeed, in most cases it is desirable that they should be -made known to the public as widely as possible. - -The first exception is, that Acts of Parliament and official books -should not, except when published under the authority of the -Government, purport on the face of them to be published by authority. - -The second exception is, where a work of a literary or quasi-literary -character comes accidentally within these classes. For example, the -Reports of the Historical Manuscripts Commission would, but for the -fact that they were produced under the direction of a Commission -instead of under the Master of the Rolls, be published in the ordinary -manner like the Rolls publications, and come within Class 6. - -So, again, a Report to a Government Department may be laid before -Parliament made by a person of eminent scientific knowledge who is -willing to give the Government and the public the advantage of his -knowledge, but not to allow it to be reproduced for the private -benefit of an individual publisher. Mr. Whitehead's Reports on -Injurious Insects are an instance of this case. - -Other exceptions will, no doubt, from time to time occur, which can -only be dealt with as they arise. - -As regards the sixth and seventh classes above mentioned, it seems -desirable that the copyright in them should be enforced in the -interests of the taxpayer, and of literature and science. For, as -pointed out above, unless copyright is enforced, cheap copies of the -works, or of the popular portion of them, can be produced by private -publishers, who reap the profit at the expense of the taxpayer. And -as such works are in any case a burden on the taxpayer, the greater -the burden the fewer works can the Government, with justice to the -taxpayer, undertake. - -Notice of the intention to enforce the copyright in any work should -be given to the public. In the case of future works this notice can -be given by prefixing to the work a notice to the effect that the -rights of copyright are reserved. In the case of past works it will be -desirable to inform the publishing trade of the works the reproduction -of which, without permission, is forbidden. - -As respects Acts of Parliament, the Government, in obedience to the -wishes of Parliament expressed by Select Committees, are bound to -publish an edition of them by authority as cheaply as practicable, and -a nearly similar remark applies to official publications. For this -purpose the Comptroller of the Stationery Office shall be appointed -Her Majesty's Printer, but care will be taken not to infringe on any -existing privileges granted by the Crown. - -Let instructions be given to the Comptroller of the Stationery Office -and to the Solicitor in pursuance of this Minute. - - -AMERICAN STATUTES - -REVISED STATUTES, 1874. - -TITLE lx. c. 3.

Every person who shall insert or impress such notice or -words of the same purport, in or upon any book, map, chart, dramatic -or musical composition, print, cut, engraving or photograph, or other -article, whether such article be subject to copyright or otherwise, -for which he has not obtained a copyright in this country; or shall -import any book, photograph, chromo, or lithograph or other article -bearing such notice of copyright, or words of the same purport, which -is not copyrighted in this country, shall be liable to a penalty of -100 dollars, recoverable one-half for the person who shall sue for -such penalty, and one-half to the use of the United States; and the -importation into the United States of any book, chromo, lithograph, -or photograph, or other article bearing such notice of copyright, -when there is no existing copyright thereon in the United States, is -prohibited: and the circuit courts of the United States sitting in -equity are hereby authorised to enjoin the issuing, publishing, or -selling of any article marked or imported in violation of the United -States copyright laws, at the suit of any person complaining of such -violation: Provided that this Act shall not apply to any importation -of or sale of such goods or articles brought into the United States -prior to the passage hereof. - -SEC. 2. That all laws and parts of laws inconsistent with the -foregoing provisions be and are hereby repealed. - - - - -ADDENDUM - -MUSICAL (SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS) COPYRIGHT ACT, 1902. - - -2 EDW. VII. c. 15. - -Since this work went to press the Musical Copyright Bill mentioned -on page 231 has received the Royal Assent and become law. The Act -will come into operation on October 1, 1902, and its application is -limited to the United Kingdom. The Act gives the owner of copyright -music power to seize pirated copies of his works from any person who -may hawk, carry about, sell, or offer for sale the same. To exercise -this power he may proceed in one of two ways. He may apply to a court -of summary jurisdiction, and on _prima facie_ evidence the court will -by order authorise a constable to seize the alleged pirated copies, -or he may without applying to the court himself authorise a constable -in writing to seize such copies. On the copies being seized by the -constable they must be brought before the court, and on proof that -they are pirated copies the court will order them to be destroyed or -delivered to the owner of the copyright. If the owner authorises the -seizure without an order from the court and fails to prove his case -he might be liable in damages. If, therefore, the owner is not quite -sure of his case he should first obtain the order of the court, which -will relieve him from all responsibility, except costs, in the event -of his failing. The Bill as originally brought into the House of Lords -contained a clause empowering a court of summary jurisdiction to -inflict a summary penalty on persons dealing with pirated music. It -also proposed to give the court power to order a constable to search -for pirated music on suspected premises. These remedies, however, were -considered by the House of Commons to be too drastic and were omitted -from the Act. - - - - -INDEX - - - - -INDEX - -The figures in black type indicate that the reference is to Part II., -which deals with the Law of the United States. -
