Line 34: The outbreak of [[World War I]] in 1914 cut off most of the European market, which played a much more significant part of the revenue and profit for MPPC members than for the independents, which concentrated on [[Western (genre)\|Westerns]] produced for a primarily USA market. The end came with a federal court decision in ''[[United States v. Motion Picture Patents Co.]]'' on October 1, 1915,<ref>{{cite news \|author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> \|title= Orders Movie Trust to be Broken Up\|url= https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1915/10/02/100179164.pdf\|date= October 2, 1915\|newspaper= [[The New York Times]] }}</ref> which ruled that the MPPC's acts went "far beyond what was necessary to protect the use of patents or the monopoly which went with them" and was therefore an illegal restraint of trade under the [[Sherman Antitrust Act]].<ref name="MPPC1915"/> An appellate court dismissed the MPPC's appeal, and officially terminated the company in 1918. ==See also ==
