Excerpt from Copyright Cases The purpose of this compilation is to bring together, for convenient reference on the part of publishers, authors, and others interested in copyright property, a summary, as comprehensive as is practicable in a volume of such compass, of the issues that have arisen and the decisions that have been given under the statutes controlling copyright and literary property, since the enactment of the International Copyright Law of 1891. The collection includes reports of all decisions ren dered by American courts since that date, excepting those that related merely to matters of practice or of pleading. It has been the intention to group together a series of cases which, as summarized, present some thing more than a mere digest of the legal principles involved but which do not call for the space that it would have been necessary to devote to decisions re ported in full. The book is addressed to the layman rather than to the lawyer; and it is on this ground that such cases or such portions of cases as have to do merely with the technicalities of procedure are omitted. For convenience of reference, the text of the United States' statutes on copyright in force on the Ist of January, 1904, has been included.
