RE: Standing Together Against Plagiarism
like I've said in regards to other posts about intellectual property theft on steemit - I love how there's members of the community striving to keep people honest and holding them accountable...... But try having your writing partner take your script - change the names and locations - get it registered with the copyright office with them as the only writer - and you can't sue because you have no proof of anything because you worked on everything locally at their house and communicated via landline because they had no cellphone - it was 10 years ago. Last I heard he had the script optioned for like 10k...... But he's a massive coke head - still works at pizza hut and lives with his mother. Not even mad. Rant over.
You could write a script about it - and nobody would even rip you off! That's how grim it is.
Now you know a contract signed in advance of any 'collaborative' effort can be worth its weight in gold.
So at least you get to share in the option money.
After that you will both be robbed blind by the producer.
Who will then be screwed by the studio and the distributor.
