Randy Haberkamp:
Gaston Méliès thought that by joining in on Edison's patent companies, that he would be licensed and it would enable him to distribute Geroges's films coming in from Paris and being imported. Unfortunately, Edison realized that those films were very popular and profitable and, so, he basically said to Gaston, "I'm sorry, you can make your own films, but, you can't distribute these films because they violate US patent." It meant that Georges Méliès's negatives were no longer of value; because, he couldn't do anything with them. So, suddenly, these really wonderful films were basically old news and, basically, considered scrap.
