What do Chapters XVII and XXI of Esenwein and Leeds (1919) say about protecting a photoplay idea from theft or plagiarism and about keeping copies when submitting?
Scoped negative, 1919 US trade advice. Neither Chapter XVII nor Chapter XXI mentions copyright, plagiarism, theft, piracy or protection: 0 hits in the chapter text. The nearest practices in Ch. XXI (one firm at a time, a record of each script sent, a clean fresh copy rather than a carbon, caution about agents) are not presented as protection. Ch. XXI does not tell the writer to keep a copy; Ch. VI and XII, outside the assigned chapters, do. The book's plagiarism and copyright passages are elsewhere (see C3-B238-S62-03). No legal conclusion is drawn.
