Drawing on fascinating archival discoveries from the past two
centuries, Brent Salter shows how copyright has been negotiated in
the American theatre. Who controls the space between authors and
audiences? Does copyright law actually protect playwrights and help
them make a living? At the center of these negotiations are
mediating businesses with extraordinary power that rapidly evolved
from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries: agents,
publishers, producers, labor associations, administrators,
accountants, lawyers, government bureaucrats, and film studio
executives. As these mediators asserted authority over creativity,
creators organized to respond, through collective minimum
contracts, informal guild expectations, and professional norms, to
protect their presumed rights as authors. This institutional,
relational, legal, and business history of the entertainment
history in America illuminates both the historical context and the
present law. An innovative new kind of intellectual property
history, the book maps the relations between the different players
from the ground up.
