Asked if I wanted to upload one of my scripts. When I went to check it out I found out it had already been uploaded. He's obviously raiding SS because there's one there from Mark Renshaw, Pia, and Rob H as well. AJR

Many more scripts being uploaded as I write this including ones from SS members. The "go to source" link is the path back to Simply Scripts.

Yep, I'm there, Matthew Taylor too... What they are doing is illegal, isn't it? They have none of our permissions!

I would think so, Anthony. I'm not sure what the end game is. It's not a very sophisticated site. If I was Don I'd be mega-pissed since he is linking to Don's site. A quick google search on this dude reveals him to be some sort of techie or script (code) writer.

I got an email from support@auteurly.com. If he was stealing, I'm not sure why he'd tip me off.

Yeah, I just found him too and have no idea what the scam is here - but it does feel very scammy. I'm going to ask him to remove my scripts and see what response I get. Thanks for posting, would never have known otherwise.

He’s obviously a moron otherwise he’d be posting my magnum Opus “Robozombie Apocalypse” on there.

His stupid f***ing site screws up your script's formatting too! What a tool!

That’ll explain why Spielberg hasn’t called me about the script. Can’t be any other reason.

They responded quickly at least!
They said they've removed my scripts, been to check and they seem to have done that by breaking the site

I'm actually a bit honoured, I never get targeted by these ppl, I feel like I've moved up in the world lol
Thanks for the heads up, I'll send them a message about hosting my scripts without permission and to remove them

I had a very strange exchange with them, which I won't post here, because they are likely lurking. Suffice to say that all SS scripts have been removed. AJR
