Editing Three Days of the Condor (section)

== Legal action ==
In 1997, The Association of Danish Film Directors (''Danske Filminstruktører''), on behalf of the director Sydney Pollack, sued [[Danmarks Radio]] on the grounds that [[pan and scan|cropping the film for television]] compromised the artistic integrity of the original film and that broadcasting the film in a reduced screen version violated Pollack's copyright. However, the case was unsuccessful because the film rights to ''Three Days of the Condor'' were not actually owned by Pollack. The case is believed to have been the first legal challenge to the practice of [[Pan and scan|panning and scanning]] widescreen films on screens with a 4:3 aspect ratio.<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Morton|last= Jacobsen| title=Copyright on Trial in Denmark|magazine=Image Technology|volume= 79|number=5|date=May 1997|pages= 16–20}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|first=Morton|last= Jacobsen| title=Copyright on Trial in Denmark|magazine=Image Technology|volume= 79|number=6|date=June 1997|pages= 22–24}}</ref>
