1910 The first US multi-reel "feature" film was Vitagraph's five-reel Life of Moses. It was shown at a single sitting in New Orleans. Such multi-reel films weakened exhibitors' control of their programs (i.e., prior to this development, exhibitors effectively "edited" the program by arranging their selections of short films without directorial intervention.)

Thats because it is illegal to reproduce copyrighted material, you computer knows this. There is software you can find to decrypt the video, but how about just participating in the free market, and buy movies the legal way, freeloader.

I don't think it is classed as copyright but if you make a copy and send it to yourself by registered post, you have some sort of proof you owned it before making it public.  but then again, why make it public in the first place?  \nWhen the tape arrives through the postal system, DON'T open the packet!!!

FIRST CARTOON\nThe first cartoon appeared in Ben Franklin's newspaper The Pennsylvania Gazette on May 9, 1754. It appeared as part of an editorial by Franklin commenting on 'the present disunited state of the British Colonies.'\n\nAnother early cartoon from the 1700's appeared in the Massachusetts Centinel on January 30, 1788. Entitled 'The Federal Superstructure,' the drawing shows a hand helping to raise the Massachusetts pillar to an upright position. The Centinel newspaper, a supporter of the new Constitution, observed that 'The Pillar of the Great Federal Edifice rises daily.'\nhttp://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/firsts/cartoon/\n\nFIRST ANIMATED CARTOON\nThe predecessor of early animation was the newspaper comic strips of the 1890s. Historically and technically, the first short, animated film (in other words, the first fully-animated film ever made) was Humorous Phases of Funny Faces (1906) by newspaper cartoonist J. Stuart Blackton, one of the co-founders of the Vitagraph Company. \nhttp://www.filmsite.org/animatedfilms.html\n\n1ST TELEVISED CARTOON\nMay 19, 1939- The Walt Disney cartoon Donald's Cousin Gus airs on NBC's experimental station W2XBS (later WNBC-TV) in New York. This marked the first film cartoon to be televised in the United States. \n\nSeptember 1, 1939 - The anticipated outbreak of World War II brings television broadcasting at the BBC to an end at 12:35 p.m. after the broadcast of the Mickey Mouse cartoon, Mickey’s Gala Première, various sound and vision test signals, and announcements by presenter Fay Cavendish. It was feared that the VHF waves of television would act as a perfect homing signal for guiding enemy bombers to central London: in any case, the engineers of the television service would be needed for the war effort, particularly for RADAR. The BBC would resume its broadcasting, with the same Mickey Mouse cartoon, after the war in 1946. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_in_television

1930's You had Gone With The Wind (still the biggest movie in history adjusted for inflation) and Snow White the first great animated film. From then on, people have just been building on those two huge steps.
