UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal
Abstract
The struggle between motion picture exhibitors and distributors has resulted in continually changing business practices within the film industry. In particular, state anti-blind bidding statutes have changed the way film distribution is handled in the United States. The author traces the history of film licensing and concludes that anti-blind bidding legislation was unwarranted and has damaged the smaller, independent exhibitors and distributors.
