	Sheldon v. Metro-Goldwyn Pictures Corp. (1938)
		The decree also enjoined defendants from exhibiting the motion picture, directed that the defendants recover their costs and disbursements and that this Court retain jurisdiction for various purposes and to determine the amount to be awarded the complainants for attorney's fees.
		Metro-Goldwyn Pictures Corporation turned over the picture to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [5] Distributing Corporation for domestic distribution, upon an arrangement whereby the Distributing Company was to pay to the Pictures Corporation 80% of the gross receipts or proceeds received from the rental of said picture** to exhibitors (Defendants' Exhibits 17, 18, 19).
		The picture was distributed in Canada through a contract with the Regal Films, Ltd., a Canadian corporation, not owned or controlled by any of the defendants, and the proceeds received by the Pictures Corporation [6] from said Regal Films, Ltd., are accounted for by the Pictures Corporation** (Defendants' Exhibits 18, N.Y.S.M., 375).

		When motion pictures in form are digital copied or transmitted, the clarity and overall quality of the motion pictures do not suffer (as they do when a copy is made from an analog source, such as a videocassette).
		Because motion pictures in unprotected digital format on DVDs would be subject to ready, unlimited copying and create a threat to the market viability of DVD technology, the plaintiffs were reluctant to release valuable film libraries and new film releases without the implementation of a copy protection and access control system.

		(Metro's original symbol was a parrot.) The logo itself (see left) has been in use since 1924, but a different logo (see right) has been the studio's logo, beginning in 2001.
		With the silent era fast disappearing, talking pictures in 1928 and 1929 gave MGM the oppurtunity for them to hire new talent, stars that would carry them through the 1930s with an actual profit during the Depression.

	Document: Complaint in 20th Century Fox v. Scour, 7/20/00.
		On information and belief, the overwhelming majority of material that Scour identifies and makes available for copying through its SX service consists of blockbuster motion pictures, the works of well-known recording artists and songwriters, and other copyrighted works that are being duplicated and distributed without the consent of their owners.
		In order to create motion pictures, the Studio Plaintiffs make substantial payments to all of the entities and personnel involved in the foregoing activities, including to various trust funds established for the benefit of the actors, technicians, laborers, and other personnel involved in the production of motion pictures.
		Without such revenue sources, the monies needed to create motion pictures would be lost, many motion pictures would not be produced, and the quality and diversity of those produced would be substantially reduced.

		He had bought Metro Pictures (founded in 1916) and Goldwyn Pictures (founded in 1917) to provide a steady supply of films for his large theater chain, Loews, Inc. However, he needed someone to oversee his Hollywood operations.
		Though Loew's Metro was the dominant partner, the new studio inherited Goldwyn's studios in Culver City, California; former Goldwyn mascot Leo the Lion (Metro's symbol was a parrot), and the corporate motto Ars Gratia Artis ("Art for Art's Sake").
		However, despite a few successful pictures and a re-built film library, it was clear that MGM could not compete in a business which required hundreds of millions in capital for even the most ordinary picture.

		But by the time Leo the lion roared at the studio's birthday party at the Cannes Film Festival, the studio that once wielded more power and artistic creativity than any of its competitors had long slipped from its perch.
		Formed in 1924 by the merger of Metro Pictures Corporation, Goldwyn Pictures Corporation and Louis B Mayer Pictures, the studio soon became Hollywood's most prestigious studio, a position it would retain for more than two decades.

	Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, The (1921). Movie reviews by Dr. Edwin Jahiel. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Spanish writer Vicente Blasco-Ibanez published a hugely successful anti-war novel during WWI, "Los Cuatro Jinetes del Apocalipsis." It was adapted for the screen in 1921 Rudolph Valentino, who had been in many movies but in minor roles, was cast as one of four brothers in opposing armies in the 1921 screen adaptation.
		His fame and career skyrocketed and kept increasing with the next pictures, notably The Sheik, Blood and Sand (also from a Blasco-Ibanez novel), the Eagle, and his last film, The Son of the Sheik (1926).
		The pacifist Four Horsemen is a powerful, very well crafted, spectacular movie, not a classic perhaps but a must for hard-core cinephiles and film historians.
