We, as screenwriters have always been told register your scripts with the WGA, doubly, register your scripts with the Library of Congress. Some of my scripts have been registered, some havent. I find it, all these protective measures to claim copyright for intellectual properties a bit overkill, and a bit insecure. If somebody is going to steal your script, steal your idea, then theyre going to steal it. I have some ongoing issues with plagiarism and copycat writers who think they can duplicate what I do. Most credible writers know how difficult it is to write a high-budget Hollywood script, get it produced, and get distribution. I put a lot of clips from my scripts out here on the Internet for the purpose of PR, Marketing, and to attract investors for my Brand image without losing a second sleep about who may steal my dialogue, my intellectual properties. Quentin Tarantino isnt the only one who has had a major scandal in a western screenplay that leaked, and used that incident to come right back and use it to his advantage. Powerful stuff free speech and challenging content. (Sage Sweetwater) deadline/2014/12/sony-hack-cyber-terrorists-win-1201330751/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
