Jerome H. Remick & Co. v. American Automobile Accessories Co.
United States District Court of the Southern District of Ohio
298 F. 628 (1924)
- Written by Alexis Franklin, JD
Facts
A rendition of a composition by Jerome H. Remick & Co. (Remick) (plaintiff) was broadcast over the radio without permission. The Copyright Act prohibited the unlicensed public performance for profit of copyrighted compositions. Remick brought suit against American Automobile Accessories Co. (defendant), alleging violation of the Copyright Act. The district court considered whether the radio broadcast constituted a public performance for profit, as contemplated by Congress under the Copyright Act, given that such technology was not widely available when the statute was enacted.
