The above link is to a short film I found on youtube. Not only was I not asked for permission to use my screenplay(link here-http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-short/m-1199652397/s-0/), but the director also took the writing credit for himself.

Should I reach out to youtube and have them take the video down? I've already reached out to the up-loader.

I'd be telling him that if he leaves it up, he better give you writing credit. That is IF you want it left up.
I would contact youtube, too.

You can open a copyright claim with YouTube and they'll take it down for you.

Thanks guys. I'm gonna see if youtube will just take the video down. It really pisses me off that the director took credit for writing my screenplay.

This is worse than mine, at least no one claimed they'd writtent them!

As said prev and above, you can get Youtube to take it down, but somehow that doesn;t seem enough here - he's a thieving scumbag!

Woah, Zack - that stinks!  Everyone else who's commented is right.  You should contact the person and Youtube.  The film needs to be taken down, and IF you even let him keep it, you need to get credit.

How'd you find it?  Just random Youtube search?  :/

I would absolutely do something about it. I would post on Youtube just to expose him, then file a DMCA takedown notice with Youtube. Not only did he steal your credit, he put it in great big letters at the beginning of the film and didn't even credit the actors in the film.

Let him be shamed.

I actually remember reading this script on here.

Truly shameful.

And Sarah Charlton is a liar.

I think this is his FB page. Not 100% sure, but he's a filmmaker. The other main hit is a lawyer.
