	Lubin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		But at the height of his career in 1912, he was world famous and one of the most colorful and popular men in the American film industry.
		Beginning in 1897, he became the first to attempt the mass-marketing of the movies, the first to build a chain of movie theaters, the first to build an empire of studios, and the first to use film to combat anti-Semitism.
		A complex man full of contradictions, he was by turns a pirate, a prophet, a con-man, a philanthropist, and a successful capitalist widely known as a "friend of labor." A loyal friend of Thomas Edison, he also worked behind Edison's back to help young Jews trying to break into the movies.

	Movie studio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1893, Thomas Edison built the first movie studio in the USA when he constructed the Black Maria, a tarpaper-covered structure near his laboratories in West Orange, New Jersey, and asked circus, vaudeville and dramatic actors to perform for the camera.
		The first movie studio in the Hollywood area was Nestor Studios, which was opened in 1911 by Al Christie for David Horsley.
		With the end of "the Studios" and the continued incursion of television into the audience for film, more and more companies became simply management structures which put together artistic teams on a project-by-project basis, usually renting space from some of the surviving studios, which is still the norm today.

		Siegmund Lubin, with his Lubin Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia, was one of Edison's earliest rivals in the motion picture business and remained a vigorous force in filmmaking, equipment manufacture and exhibition until the beginning of the First World War.

	ABC News: An Invisible Technology May Slow Piracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The technology was developed by Sarnoff scientists, including Jeffrey Lubin, who used his background in perceptual psychology vision to devise a watermark that not only would be invisible to the movie viewer, but would survive even if the movie quality was degraded because of crude copying.
		None of the studios have agreed to start using the technology yet, but if the tests go well, the code could be used on a film as soon as early 2005, he said.
		But if the reproduction is pristine, the trail might lead to a DVD given out by the studios, which have had to adjust how it distributes copies of film in production or of those it wants considered for awards.
