Passage or Road

[edit]

The DVD refers to the book as The Dark Road. Was it published under both titles? —Tamfang (talk) 06:40, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]


[edit]

"The copyright status of Dark Passage was the subject of a dispute between Goodis' estate and United Artists Television. The Goodis estate claimed that the UA series The Fugitive constituted copyright infringement. United Artists claimed that the work had fallen into the public domain under the terms of the Copyright Act of 1909 because it had been first published as a serial in The Saturday Evening Post, and that Goodis never obtained a separate copyright on the work. In Goodis v. United Artists Television, Inc., 425 F.2d 397, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit limited the so-called "Doctrine of indivisibility", explaining that it was a judicial doctrine related only to standing, and should not operate to completely deprive a claimant of his copyright."

What does this even mean? What was the verdict? Lawyer-lingo, but no verdict. 95.90.115.121 (talk) 08:53, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
