In DC in '77 with Ringling's Blue Unit, I happened to see that case being argued before the Supreme Court. It was sheer coincidence, simply a morning I'd decided to visit the Supreme Court when that's the case they were hearing. A TV station was arguing, based on the First Amendment, that it had the right to show Zacchini's entire flight, cannon to net, while Zacchini's lawyer argued that doing so would harm him financially, that if people could see his whole act on TV, they wouldn't come to see it at the circus. Zacchin won.
This information posted on today's blog is about Hugo Zacchini 1st, who was in fact a very good artist.
The lawsuit that David speaks of in the '70s was brought about by his nephew Hugo II.
