Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a comprehensive legal memorandum written in 1921, argues against the passage of a bill that would have instituted a censorship board over the motion picture industry in New York State. The author, a prominent New York attorney, contends that such censorship would be an extreme and drastic measure that should only be taken as a last resort. He points to the adequacy of existing criminal laws and argues that the proposed censorship board would grant unelected officials arbitrary powers that could lead to the suppression of legitimate works of art and the stifling of free expression. The book delves into the nature of censorship, the wisdom of such a law, and the specific provisions of the proposed bill. It concludes by urging the governor to reject the bill and instead work with the industry to address any concerns about the content of motion pictures through self-regulation.
