Critic of the London Times
Arthur Casey, of Philadelphia, Pa., was ar-
rested on December 28, charged with infringe-
ment of the Copyright Law, on a complaint
filed by the Music Publishers' Protective As-
sociation. It is alleged, according to the com-
plaint, that Casey caused to be printed on a
song sheet the words of a number of composi-
tions, all of which were copyrighted, and sold
the material in front of various Philadelphia
theatres.
After examination Casey was held by the
United States Commissioner for trial in the
Federal Court in Philadelphia. The date for
the trial has not been set.
The infringing sheets were printed, it is
claimed, by M. Otto, a Philadelphia printer, who
it is alleged has on hand a large stock of the
printed sheets.
E. C. Mills, chairman of the Music Publishers'
Protective Association, states that similar ac-
tion will be taken in every case coming to the
attention of the Association wherein the Copy-
right Law has been infringed, the publishers
being determined to put an end to every form of
piracy or unauthorized use of copyrighted com-
positions.
