Hi, Stoney here....answering that Triggerstreet question:

1. Yes, they could be stealing from you, and there's no claim as to which
part they steal.

2. Triggerstreet, although appearing credible due to the Kevin Spacey
moniker, doesn't really have much to offer, and if you want to post your
original material on the internet, you had best find a way to make it
copyright and secured.

3. If you've had your files downloaded from Triggerstreet, then
Triggerstreet should have a record on their servor who downloaded them.
Don't you have any proof in your account who's viewed your stuff?

Hi, sorry if this has been covered in here but I did a search and
couldn't really find this topic. It's just a concern I have.

I uploaded a script at Triggerstreet.com, a script that has done well
in big competitions and a day later I see it's been downloaded six
times already and suddenly, a wave of fear crossed my body as I
realized how easy it would be for someone to download a final draft
version of the script, change a couple things here and there, rename it
and call it their own.

"There may be a few... similarities."


But do you know what the word "few" means in Hollywood? One minus degree
less than substantial.





I know stuff like this is talked aobut all the time, but in this
particular venue, the ability to steal someone's work and alter it is
made so easily here, is anyone aware of this happening already or have
similar concerns? It hasn't been reviewed yet, which is why it scares
me more, just blind downloads by anyone who wants it apparently. Yeah,
it's WGA resgistered, but someone changing a couple names and the title
isn't going to make a difference if it gets optioned by some studio and
I don't find out about it.

Or am I just being paranoid?

You couldn't have been reading any of my posts, otherwise you'd be
slashing your wrist right now!

Being paranoid in Hollywood is survival.


And it is very differcult to prove someone access your script through the
internet because
access through the internet is not considered access by law.

The only talented writers inside Hollywood are the ones that steal from
ousiders.

UK net users leading TV downloads

Desperate Housewives is one of the shows UK viewers cannot wait for
British TV viewers lead the trend of illegally downloading US shows from the net, according to research.
New episodes of 24, Desperate Housewives and Six Feet Under, appear on the web hours after they are shown in the US, said a report.

Web tracking company Envisional said 18% of downloaders were from within the UK and that downloads of TV programmes had increased by 150% in the last year.

About 70% were using file-sharing program BitTorrent, the firm said.

"It's now as easy to download a pirate TV show as it is to programme a VCR," said Ben Coppin from Envisional.

A typical episode of 24 was downloaded by about 100,000 people globally, said the report, and an estimated 20,000 of those were from within the UK.

Faster and easier

Australians were the second biggest downloading culprits, with almost 16% of shows being downloaded there.

Downloads from within the US accounted for about 7%, according to the report.

Fans of many popular US TV programmes, like 24, usually have to wait weeks or months until the latest series is shown in the UK.

But in some cases, said the report, people were able to watch the new episodes in Britain before US audiences on the west coast of the country.


Britons have access to much faster broadband speeds
"Missing a television show presents little problem to anyone with a basic knowledge of the internet," explained Mr Coppin.

"Two clicks and your favourite programme is downloading. In effect, the internet is now a global video recorder."

Exact figures are difficult to pin down, but it is thought that about 80,000 to 100,000 people in the UK download TV programmes.

Some may just want the odd episode, others are downloading regularly.

Many broadcast analysts agree that the net is radically altering the way people get content, like TV programmes.

This presents a challenge to broadcasters who are concerned that channel schedules may become less important to people.

It is also of concern to them because advertisements are usually cut out of the downloaded programmes.

The industry has coined the term "time-shifting" to describe this trend of being able to watch what you want, when you want.

The increased popularity of personal digital video recorders, TiVo-type boxes which automatically record programmes like Sky+, have also contributed to the trend.

There are also numerous programs available on the net which automatically search and store TV programmes for viewers, effectively creating a personal video recorder on a computer.

Legal downloads?

Within half an hour, recorded episodes can be uploaded - or posted - onto file-sharing networks or other download sites.

Because they tend to be shorter then full-length films, they can be processed - digitised - quickly.

More people with high-speed broadband connections in the UK also means that episodes can be downloaded quickly.

Broadband


According to Jupiter Research 40% of homes with broadband say it helps them pick and choose the programmes they want to see or that friends have recommended.

The Envisional reports said that the TV industry should consider offering a legal way to download shows.

The BBC ran a trial of what it calls the Interactive Media Player (iMP) last year, which was based on a peer-to-peer distribution model.

It let people download programmes it held the rights to up to eight days after they had already aired. It is looking to do a more expansive trial later this year.

The BBC already allows radio fans to hear programmes they missed online up to a week after broadcast.

About six million people in the UK now have a fast, always-on net connection via cable or phone lines.

It let people download programmes it held the rights to up to eight days after they had already aired. It is looking to do a more expansive trial later this year.

The BBC already allows radio fans to hear programmes they missed online up to a week after broadcast.

About six million people in the UK now have a fast, always-on net connection via cable or phone lines.

UK net users leading TV downloads

Desperate Housewives is one of the shows UK viewers cannot wait for
British TV viewers lead the trend of illegally downloading US shows from the net, according to research.
New episodes of 24, Desperate Housewives and Six Feet Under, appear on the web hours after they are shown in the US, said a report.

Web tracking company Envisional said 18% of downloaders were from within the UK and that downloads of TV programmes had increased by 150% in the last year.

About 70% were using file-sharing program BitTorrent, the firm said.

"It's now as easy to download a pirate TV show as it is to programme a VCR," said Ben Coppin from Envisional.

A typical episode of 24 was downloaded by about 100,000 people globally, said the report, and an estimated 20,000 of those were from within the UK.

Faster and easier

Australians were the second biggest downloading culprits, with almost 16% of shows being downloaded there.

Downloads from within the US accounted for about 7%, according to the report.

Fans of many popular US TV programmes, like 24, usually have to wait weeks or months until the latest series is shown in the UK.

But in some cases, said the report, people were able to watch the new episodes in Britain before US audiences on the west coast of the country.


Britons have access to much faster broadband speeds
"Missing a television show presents little problem to anyone with a basic knowledge of the internet," explained Mr Coppin.

"Two clicks and your favourite programme is downloading. In effect, the internet is now a global video recorder."

Exact figures are difficult to pin down, but it is thought that about 80,000 to 100,000 people in the UK download TV programmes.

Some may just want the odd episode, others are downloading regularly.

Many broadcast analysts agree that the net is radically altering the way people get content, like TV programmes.

This presents a challenge to broadcasters who are concerned that channel schedules may become less important to people.

It is also of concern to them because advertisements are usually cut out of the downloaded programmes.

The industry has coined the term "time-shifting" to describe this trend of being able to watch what you want, when you want.

The increased popularity of personal digital video recorders, TiVo-type boxes which automatically record programmes like Sky+, have also contributed to the trend.

There are also numerous programs available on the net which automatically search and store TV programmes for viewers, effectively creating a personal video recorder on a computer.

Legal downloads?

Within half an hour, recorded episodes can be uploaded - or posted - onto file-sharing networks or other download sites.

Because they tend to be shorter then full-length films, they can be processed - digitised - quickly.

More people with high-speed broadband connections in the UK also means that episodes can be downloaded quickly.

Broadband


According to Jupiter Research 40% of homes with broadband say it helps them pick and choose the programmes they want to see or that friends have recommended.

The Envisional reports said that the TV industry should consider offering a legal way to download shows.

The BBC ran a trial of what it calls the Interactive Media Player (iMP) last year, which was based on a peer-to-peer distribution model.

It let people download programmes it held the rights to up to eight days after they had already aired. It is looking to do a more expansive trial later this year.

A Starmaker Exclusive

"90 per cent of everything is crap" Robert A. Heinlein

A $700 computer running a good editing program today
can do everything that a $100,000 Avid system did ten years ago.

$500 can buy you a new camera today that
rivals a $100,000 commercial broadcast camera
that was used to make TV shows five years ago

Do you know why it's cheaper today? Because, *God* wants You
to Start Your Own TV Show! So he figured, "I'll lower the prices
and I'll give them the Internet so that they can distribute it."

So if you always wanted to Star in a sitcom or your own Johnny Carson show,
or any type of television show, then Now is the time!

I only pointed out *one* channel of distribution to get you started. There
are other channels on the Internet, plus other Internet companies seeking
"content" for their Internet companies....

Don't be surprised if the networks start calling you up wanting to buy your TV show!

Yeah -- well I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.

(then, after Tom hands Michael a set of contracts)

See, Johnny -- see we figure that entertainment downloads will be a big factor in drawing TV viewers to

the our show. And, we hope you'll sign a contract to appear five times a year.

(then)

Perhaps uh -- convince some of your friends in the movies to do the same. We're counting

Need props? All you need is a
kitchen table and two chairs.

Need a script? Just get a yellow pad
and write it down...make a xerox copy of
the yellow pad and give it out...you don't need
to follow *any* scripts formats because it's Your
television show, you make the rules!

Do you know why it's cheaper today? Because, *God* wants You
to Start Your Own TV Show! So he figured, "I'll lower the prices
and I'll give them the Internet so that they can distribute it."

So if you always wanted to Star in a sitcom or your own Johnny Carson show,
or any type of television show, then Now is the time!

I only pointed out *one* channel of distribution to get you started. There
are other channels on the Internet, plus other Internet companies seeking
"content" for their Internet companies....

Don't be surprised if the networks start calling you up wanting to buy your TV show!

(besides, some people don't know when to laugh!)
Do your own HBO standup or sitcom
and upload it.

If you're a screenwriter,
you don't need to try and sell your screenplays.
Just produce your television script in your
own living room. Actors are plentiful.

If you wanna just direct or produce a
television show, get a cam, shoot and
upload. Setup your own studio soundstage
television production set in some old warehouse.

Everyone, just create a webpage
where visitors can pay and download your
new episode every week.
Let them use
http://www.bittorrent.com/
which is free and legal.

With your individual creative talent,
you shouldn't have trouble making
a hundred million dollars.

All perfectly legal.

I'm sure everyone has an idea for
some television show. The best
idea makes the most money.

You heard of American Idol, how about American Bimbo?
I'm sure 1 billion chineese would love to see an
American Bimbo!! You know, blond, blue eyes, boobs

A family show.
Get all the bimbo's in America to audition!
Place an ad in the newspaper.

UK net users leading TV downloads

Desperate Housewives is one of the shows UK viewers cannot wait for
British TV viewers lead the trend of illegally downloading US shows from the net, according to research.
New episodes of 24, Desperate Housewives and Six Feet Under, appear on the web hours after they are shown in the US, said a report.

Web tracking company Envisional said 18% of downloaders were from within the UK and that downloads of TV programmes had increased by 150% in the last year.

About 70% were using file-sharing program BitTorrent, the firm said.

"It's now as easy to download a pirate TV show as it is to programme a VCR," said Ben Coppin from Envisional.

A typical episode of 24 was downloaded by about 100,000 people globally, said the report, and an estimated 20,000 of those were from within the UK.

Faster and easier

Australians were the second biggest downloading culprits, with almost 16% of shows being downloaded there.

Downloads from within the US accounted for about 7%, according to the report.

Fans of many popular US TV programmes, like 24, usually have to wait weeks or months until the latest series is shown in the UK.

But in some cases, said the report, people were able to watch the new episodes in Britain before US audiences on the west coast of the country.


Britons have access to much faster broadband speeds
"Missing a television show presents little problem to anyone with a basic knowledge of the internet," explained Mr Coppin.

"Two clicks and your favourite programme is downloading. In effect, the internet is now a global video recorder."

Exact figures are difficult to pin down, but it is thought that about 80,000 to 100,000 people in the UK download TV programmes.

Some may just want the odd episode, others are downloading regularly.

Many broadcast analysts agree that the net is radically altering the way people get content, like TV programmes.

This presents a challenge to broadcasters who are concerned that channel schedules may become less important to people.

It is also of concern to them because advertisements are usually cut out of the downloaded programmes.

The industry has coined the term "time-shifting" to describe this trend of being able to watch what you want, when you want.

The increased popularity of personal digital video recorders, TiVo-type boxes which automatically record programmes like Sky+, have also contributed to the trend.

There are also numerous programs available on the net which automatically search and store TV programmes for viewers, effectively creating a personal video recorder on a computer.

Legal downloads?

Within half an hour, recorded episodes can be uploaded - or posted - onto file-sharing networks or other download sites.

Because they tend to be shorter then full-length films, they can be processed - digitised - quickly.

More people with high-speed broadband connections in the UK also means that episodes can be downloaded quickly.

Broadband


According to Jupiter Research 40% of homes with broadband say it helps them pick and choose the programmes they want to see or that friends have recommended.

The Envisional reports said that the TV industry should consider offering a legal way to download shows.

The BBC ran a trial of what it calls the Interactive Media Player (iMP) last year, which was based on a peer-to-peer distribution model.

It let people download programmes it held the rights to up to eight days after they had already aired. It is looking to do a more expansive trial later this year.

The BBC already allows radio fans to hear programmes they missed online up to a week after broadcast.

About six million people in the UK now have a fast, always-on net connection via cable or phone lines.
