It seems that posting scripts can get you in a lot of trouble with some studios and also your host. The recent and also very good site for scripts, besides Simplyscripts, pdfscreenplays.net has been dropped by it's host over a early draft of the latest Indiana Jones script. Here's what the admin of the sit has to say.


Quoted Text
So, the hosting company has taken the site offline because the Darabont draft of Indy IV

"was found to be consuming an inordinate amount of processor time, to the point of degrading overall system performance".

But here's the good news:

"In addition to the technical issues surrounding the site causing high load, there is the legal issues around redistributing other peoples work. Screenplays are a form of expression and protected by copyright law. Fanfiction is a fairly clear area - while it is a copyright violation, most copyright holders do not care to enforce their copyrights regarding fan-fiction. However, for the actual screenplays for major Hollywood movies that have been produced, the story differs considerably. Even without a complaint, we can't allow you to host or link to unauthorized copies of such works.

I'm aware that this information is freely available on the internet, but I can also easily download the movies that these scripts are for from other sites on the internet. This does not affect the legality of the situation.

I'm sorry, but we won't be able to continue hosting the pdfscreenplays.net."

Oh, by good, I actually meant what the fuck. What about all of those other script sites? Hmm... I guess that's what happens when you try to be visionary. I can assure you this isn't the end.

“Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over again, and you will grow stronger until you have accomplished a purpose - not the one you began with perhaps, but one you'll be glad to remember.” - Anne Sullivan

In the meantime, you guys know how to find me. I'm the least hardest person to find on the internet.

Thanks,
Sheridan Cleland

UPDATE: Here's what really happened in one of those moments of, "Gee, what could have caused that traffic spike?": http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37049


There were some really good hard to find scripts that I wished that I saved now that I look back on it. He also had some really good ones lined up for the next couple of weeks too. I guess that the site will be back someday, once he finds a new host. What's your take on this.
