NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1874.-TRIPLE SH eINTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT. — AN EXPOSITION OF THE LAW AS IT STANDS— SOME SHARP COMMENTS. To Tus Epiror oF THs HBRALD:— The communication in @ recent issue of your paper on “International Copyright” offers a statement of our law in relation to foreign dramatists so entirely erroneous that I do not wonder that to the writer of that communication ““4t seems to be a law inconsistent and at variance with itseli” and “paradoxical nd absard.” Nor do I wonder that the same interpretation given by the same writerin @ recent number of the London Atheneum jed an “Author” to pronounce our copyright laws In this respect a “ocurtosity and a etuitsfication in themselves,” I shall en- deavor to show that these forcible expressions Bre applicable, NOt vo the law, but to the carcleas interpretation given by your correspondent, ‘The communtoation in the Athenwum referred to, which appeared ata time when numerous English correspondents of that perlodical were discussing with more sea) tham learning the American copyright laws in their relation to Eng- lish authors, informed the English public that there were “two American decisions, the effect of which 4s to give to English authors (at all events to Eng- iigh dramatic authors) in the United States . pre- Claely the same protection that they would realize if citizens or if they could copyright with us;” and it was added that ‘4t is aiMoult to see what further protection he (the English dramatist) couid gain by operation of an international act.” This language is not ambiguous, It states clearly that under the two decisions mentioned English dramatists, if not all the authors of England, have “precisely the same protection” for their works in the United States that is enjoyed by ourown dramatists. The soundness of this proposition having been questioned, the author, Mr. J. A, Morgan, In your isaue of yesterday reiterated (t, and adds a new revelation as follows:—‘Kirst, that an alien dra- matic author in this country receives precisely the same protection in his literary property as the citizen receives in his; and second, that by né- giecting to comply with our copyright laws he can actually enjoy greater privileges of protection in his Wterary property than he could by complying with them.” The cases cited in support of this doctrine in the Atheneum were Palmer vs. Daly and Crowe vs. Aiken. But there 13 no such copyright case reported as Palmer vs. Daly. There 1s a reported case of Daly va, Palmer, but tt has nothing to do with the point under consideration, The cases of De Witt vs. Palmer, and Crowe vs. Aiken, are brought forward as au- thority for the assertion ‘that an alien dramatic author in this country receives precisely the same Protection in his literary property as the citizen receives in his,” Pethaps the most satisfactory way of pointing out the inaccuracy and absurdity of these assertions willbe to make an accurato statement of the privileges accorded to foreign dramatists in our courts and then to point out brtefly the rights secured to resident dramatic authors, In the first place, then, tt 18 clearly established that no foreign literary author, whether dramatic or otherwise, is entitled to copyright in the United States unless he be resident vere, with the inten- tion of making this country bis place of permanent abode. This stern veto against foreign- ers has been a prominent provision in all our copyright legisiation since 1790, Nortas the plain meaning of the different acts in this re- spect been materially modified by the courts, Nevertheless, in a half dozen recent cases the Tights of English dramatists have been protected by our courts. Three of these cases were brought by Miss Laura Keene against Wheatley, of Phila- Gelphia, Moses Kimball, of the Boston Museum, and John S. Clarke, then of New York, for repre- senting without authority the comedy of ‘Our American Cousin,” the manuscript of wnich she had purchased from Tom Taylor, of London, An- other was the action orought by Miss Kate Bate- man against Alken, of Chicago, for representing Without authority “Mary Warner,” which had been expressly written for Miss Bateman by Tom Taylor, and which she held in manuscript and another was the suft which L. D. Palm brought against De Witt lor piracy of Robertson’s “Play.” But these cases had nothing to do with the copyright laws. The works in con- troversy were dramas written by British authors, resident in England, and sold to managers ior ex- Giusive representation in the Unitea States. The plays were represented in this country trom Manuscripts heid by the lawful owners. Ley Were not copyrighted (except that an invalid copyright had been taken out on ‘Yur American Cous:n”) and had not been printed by authority, either In Engiand or vbe United States. Having been publicly represented tn this country by au- thority they were soon reproduced by other managers without authority. In ail but one the rights of the English author were affirmed, not, however, under the copyright law, but on the ground that the plays were in manuscript and had never been puviished by authority. 1t was uot Statutory, but common law protection of literary roperty belore publication, since the common jaw secures tO every author, native or foreign, the exclusive control and enjoyment of his unpublished writings, and makes no dis- Unction between literary and other property. ‘The material facts 10 the cases ubove mentioned were not seriously disputed by the defendants; but their defence was placed upon the ground that the public representation of a manuscript play was & publication which justitied any rival manager in Teproducing it without authority, In more than one of these cases the Court intimated that a rival manager might lawfully reproduce @ manuscript play without the license of the author if enabled to do so through the memory o! any person who had witnessed its authorized public pertormance; but not if the piay had been obtained by sten- ography, notes or other ‘‘untatr means.’’? I do not | Statutes; here they nave no! who wished to do so from pertaming the comedy, ‘Oar American Cousin,’ which she had purchase and for which she had paid. This décision never been reversed, and is law to-day.’’ Tt would be reasonable to suppose that a conélu- sion #0 remarkable had been announced only after @ careful study of the facts and legai principles in- volved in the Case; or at least that the writer be- fore proclaiming it to the pubiic had taken the pains to ascertain which way the case was de- cided. But here is a statement offered to a mill- jon readers tn Europe and America "1 interpretation of the position of towurd foreign dramatusts, which foundation than the citation of @ case, the result Of which the writer had not ascertained. For 1t 18 @ fact patent to every one who is aceurately tn- ormed on the subject (and those who are not can easily become so by referring to the report of the case in the “American Law Register,” vol, 8), that Miss Keene did not lose but won the cage against Wheatley, Imagine a writer publicly criticising the strategy of Sedan in the bdehet that it was @ French victory! It is true that Miss Keene, after purchasing “Our American Cousin” from Tom Taylor, had the play copyrighted under our statutes; but at the same time she guarded it irom the printers and represented it on the stage from manuscript. It is true that upon the trial = the validity or this eopyright was in issue, and that the ‘Court declared it void, on the ground that the author of the play being au alien was not entitied to Ameri- ean copyright, But this was only @ side tesue and did not affect the main question. The decision was tn favor of Miss Keene, en the ground that her common law right in her unpublished literary property had been invadea by heatiey, Of course, the eee yrient which she had taken out being invalid did not affect her rights; it neither enlarged nor restricted them, and the same would be the result in the case of any foreign dramatist who might copyright nis play under our statutes. Such copyright would have no bearing whatever upon the status of his drama, for all privileges which he enjoys are secured, not by Statate, but by the common law. It makes, there- fore, no difference whether be does or does not comply with our copyright laws. I shall not here notice all the errors con- tained im the communication referred to, but wiil conclude by calling attention to the assertion that the American copyright laws, ‘except the French, are the wost beral in the world.” Let us Cummpare them with those of England, since the legisiation of that country, “for the encourage- ment of learning,” afforas an mple of broad statesmanstip and itberality that might well be Pate by py apg My Lge vopyright statute passed @ince the reign of Anne, Parlia- ment has made no distinction between native and foreign authors, but, in the opinion of the ablest statesmen and lawyers of the realm, has invited men of learni of every tongue and every clmée to sen the produetions of thelr genius to land for = firs publica- tion, Her statesmen wisely saw that the interests of English learning would thus be advanced, It is trme that the English courts have slightly re- Strieted the privileges of foreign authors, “Bus still, upon oue Blight condition easily hed with, the authors of the world are gnaranteed the same rigiits and privileges as are enjoyed by Eng- nish authors, Moreover, by a spectal internatto: copyright arrangement Jand offers still tur- ther benefits ana privile; the authors of any country which will extend reciprocal iavors to Engiish authors. Under an arrangement of this kiud, French, German and other continental au- thors are enjoying special copyright Les throughout the British dominion, But such offer has not been accepred by the United States, What, now, has been the policy of the American govern- Tent toward foreign suthors? In every copyright law passed by pone from the act of 1790 to that of 1870, foreign authors have been express! excluded Jrom the benefits of the statute, tection has been extended only to the works of such author as may he a “citizen of the United States or resl- dent therein ;” and the most itberal construction the courts have been able to give this language is that it may include a foreigner resident here with the intention of Deseee this country his piace of permanent abode. The -very dramatic cases which nave been discussed im this commani- cation, and the Dramatic act of 1856, only illus. trate the determination of Congress that the a ten shall not be left ajar in favor of foreign ramatic authors, Indeed, more liberal and ad- vancea views upon this subject may be found among our pablishere than among our lawmakers, For the leading American houses, in reprinting the choicest works of ioreign genius, are accustomea voluntarily to remit handsome royalties to the author, In the very able communication on this subject from the pen of one of our most lideral and esteemed publishers, which appeared in the London Times in the autumn of 1871, Mr. Wiliam H. Appleton said:—“As an American publisher oi large e: rience, I am in favor of an international copyright law, and [ believe that this conviction ts shared by @ large number, If nota majority, of my fellow citizens.” This testimony and the castom of the trade admitting ioreign authors toa share in the profits of their works Tepuolished tn this country, show that our representative publishers and a large portion of the people for whom they provide peating matter entertain views as liberal and ad- vanced on this subject as those held in England, But there these opinions have been coined into In opening wide her gates vo the authors Of all tongues, all race all creeds, England says, ‘Tro! or Tyrtan, 1! Unt St i u say that these cases have decided that @ rival | manager may thus lawfully sammon to his aid the exercise of memory to evable him to get posses- | gion of @ manuscript play without paying tor it. ‘This absurd doctrine was elaborately discussed in these cases and recognized in two or three by the Bench; but the direct issue was not before the Court, since it did not appear that in any case (excepting perhaps one) the piay had been ob- tained by means of memory. This common law Protection then 1s all that a toreign dramatist re- ceives in our courts; he has no rights unuer the statutes, Now what are the privileges of an American dramaiiat? In the first piace, as lopg 48 kis plays are in manuscript and unocopyrigated, he ts upon the same footing as foreign writers, Both have the same common law right of literary property in their manuscript works. Both have tue same remedies.

Ths statute, however, was for the exclusive benefit of citizens, and no such privilege was ex- tended to a foreign aramatist. Now let us see whether, us Mr. Morgan asserts, Malic author in this country receives precisely makes no aliference to me,” a turns away all authors but Its own citizens wi the prohibition, ‘‘No ore: 's need apply.” And yet we are tola that, with an exception in favor ot France, the American copyright legisiation is ‘the tnost liberal in the world!
