Slow down there haha. Brady's got 11 division championship rings and 7 Super bowl rings. Mahomes has got a few years to prove your theory. He also plays for a small market team that is not going to throw money at the team to win forever. Just not happening. Trust me. The owners of the Detroit Tigers lost millions for years competing with big market teams and finally called off the run. Now they can't find a win

But, like I said, companies that were part of Edison's patent trust were shooting in California early on and they didn't need to worry about his lawyers. NYC based Biograph joined Edison's trust in 1908. They first started filming in California in 1910. Chicago based Essanay was also in the trust and they opened studios in California in 1912 after a failed attempt shooting in Colorado.

The studios that weren't part of the trust saw some benefit in being in a different court jurisdiction but the fact that studios that were part of the trust also relocated around the same time would indicate that was not the biggest factor.
