Copyright protection for the Keystone Kops movies has expired, so the films themselves, and stills thereof, are in the public domain. However, it is possible to register new content in conjunction with them: for example, a compilation DVD of restored/remastered video, with new music, additional material for historical context, and a commentary track by film historians would have a great deal that could be registered.

Why do silent films often seem to move faster than modern sound films?

Films were shot at slower speeds during the silent era. Cameras were hand-cranked so there were variations between cameramen. Until the 1920's, frames per second varied from 16 to 20. When talkies arrived, the studios set an industry standard of 24 frames per second. If you project a 16 frames per second film through a 24 frames per second projector, the visual is speeded up by 50%. It should be noted that some films, Keystone Kops for example, were intended to be projected faster to add to the comedy.

The organization spread nationally, and by the 1970s it came to be dominated by individuals engaged in criminal activity, in particular, narcotics trafficking. Members of the Latin Kings identify themselves with the colors gold, and black, the five pointed star or the initials ALKN (Almighty Latin King Nation). Some have tattoos of royal crowns (a common symbol for the gang) on their bodies. The Latin kings also use a symbol called "The Master" which is a picture of a Kings head with one tear drop. The Latin Kings wear beads around their necks in a pattern of five black and five gold. Today, the Latin Kings is associated with the People Nation set and is one of the most violent street gangs in the United States. The Chicago Crime Commission estimates that there are over 20,000 Latin Kings in the Chicago area alone. Latin Kings are also found on the East Coast, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and South America, and Madrid. This last set has proven controversial, however, as many Latin Kings see Spaniards as white European oppresors rather than part of the "Latino brown" community.Because they're a bunch of punks.THIS IS MY ANSWER LATIN KINGS IS IN PEOPLE NATION AND WELL IF YOU DONT LIKE PEOPLE NATION THEN WELL YOU DONT LIKE LATIN KINGS.
