...York supreme court last month enjoined Paradox Industries from pirating any more of Columbia's records under its impudent "Jolly Roger" label (TIME, Feb. 11), ordered it to surrender all duplications on hand, plus any master records or tape recordings from which further records could be made...
...Ancient Paradox. The Marshall: Plan pumped $2.5 billions of American taxpayers' money into France in three years. The results were impressive: production is now 150% greater than 1938. Yet France, basically healthy, bleeds from half a dozen hemorrhages, and no one will agree on which doctor to call, or whether to act on his advice should it hurt.

Bolletino had his records made by RCA's "custom pressing" department, which turns out records for many small companies. Some of Bolletino's pressings were even pirated from RCA's own Armstrong records. Bolletino cheerfully admitted that he had pressed from the original Columbia-owned records. But he insisted that he had violated no law, since copyrights do not cover records. He had not copied Columbia's trademark, which would have...
