Just a note,

Please DON'T post it - I'm going to have to be a bit tighter about this. You can post your own work, but we can't have this place become known as a filesharer's hangout. Look what happened to that guy in New Zealand...

phil, i'm a little dismayed by this.
we're having this internet/copyright conversation
in congress here in the US,
with some global implications.
and now,
very frankly i'm conflicted about it.
on one hand, the internet is the most significant information boon to mankind
in at least a century...perhaps since gutenberg;
on the other, as a writer and owner of work,
i would like to control whatever revenue flows from my work.
peer-to-peer file-sharing presents a dilemma,
and it affects thus forum,
directly and significantly.
shouldn't we discuss what we may
or may not
post here?
your forum/your rules...
i just wanna know what they are.

Screenwriting Goldmine Method
Screenwriting Course Download The "Screenwriting Goldmine Guide to Writing a Screenplay" is a simple to use, utterly comprehensive, step by step method for going from the horrors of a blank page all the way through to a highly readable - and very commercial - first draft. It's based on my seventeen years as a professional screenwriter/script editor, and it's a direct transcription of the method I use to write my own screenplays. Simply put, it works! (Over 2,000 copies sold to date!) Everyday low price- find out more here.

Hi Manfred,

I know. It's an argument that isn't going away soon, and Youtube, and Google themselves, are going to have to think about this long and hard.

But have you seen this?

That's a reductio ad absurdum, they're hardly likely to waste their time and money bringing this site down, but I do have to be aware.

I do like this site to have democratic elements, but we can't really discuss this one can we? Should the fileshare police ever come knocking they won't be knocking on your door, it'll be me!

So for the moment my line in the sand is we can link to obvious pirate uploads, but I really would rather we didn't upload them.

That line may be redrawn pending fallout from above case!

Phil

Thumbs up Re: internet hobbles

the UK will not allow
'extradition' of one of its citizens
on copyright charges.
the US state department will not pursue nor condone this case.
silly posturing by vested US interests in an election year,
producing nothing but attempted bad blood
between you and me, phil.
having said that, you're exactly correct on whose door
the revenuers would knock--yours--
so again, your forum, your rules.
i understand and will respect them.
but it makes me all the more cognizant
of my US constitutional first amendment protections,
for which we have the scottish enlightenment to thank
in no small measure.
thank you for that,
and for your measured reply.
m.

p.s. i believe this dialogue is worth copying
to my senators...
they need to be aware of international implications,
even chilling effects,
in this current dilemma in public fora.

Re The UK standing up to the USA on extradition? I hope you're right, but I'm not so sure.

Even if you are, do you know this scandalous case? Even if you are right it clearly isn't plain sailing for those affected.

The real question is, why would you want this script? It was a terrible movie.

Sometimes reading the script of a movie that you think is terrible can be helpful to a writer. Reading ONLY scripts you think are great can be a bit limiting.

There is also the possibility that some people may not think Skyline is terrible.
