To avoid Edison's patents, Hollywood relocated from New York to Los Angeles.
In the 1800s, the cinema business was headquartered in New York, which was near to New Jersey — and New Jersey was where patent-master Thomas Edison was situated. Edison owned almost 1,000 patents, including much of the technology required to produce high-end pictures, and boy did he flex on those patents. In summary, if you wanted to work in the film industry, you had to go through Edison. As a result, the "independent" filmmakers chose an other method of combating Edison: escaping Edison. That's exactly what they did! They relocated to California, a state where the judges were less sympathetic to Edison and his patents, and where the wheels of copyright law would take longer to roll over them.&
