I was just making the point Pia

Thanks everyone for backing me up. I appreciate all of your support.

No problem... here's a number from his profile page. You may be able to call him: 778-688-9649

I'd have to jump through hoops to check if the number is live from here in the UK, so can't be sure it works.

Nah - I STILL see my comment on there.  Is it an issue of viewing permissions?    (For me, just mine and the old compliment by a female are the only ones I see.)

Same here.  I left a choice comment for this little douchebag yesterday.  All I can see is my comment and the other woman's comment(probably the kid's relative)

A YouTube channel can set comments so that all comments must be approved before being publicly visible. If you can see your own but no-one else can (I see none of yours, even signed out), that's probably what's happening.

This kid went to the same film school as me. What a little shit.

Huh...today I find one for me, too, for "Someplace Nice & Dark":

No need to watch the whole thing.  It's not so great -- liberally adapted, but with most of the dialogue still in place.

I am acknowledged in the credits, kind of, with my name wrong.  Never heard of the guy, but he even loaded it into IMDb.

Feel free to give him online sh*t -- if you're the type to do so -- and tell him to add a "Story by" credit to my IMDb haha.

Jeez, another one... Are you going to ask him to pull it?

It doesn't do your screenplay justice. Not even a little. I would have it taken down.

Honestly, I'm kinda shocked that this happens that frequent. I suppose this isn't a new trend either?

Thank you.  That is very kind.  I'm not even sure what was going on at the end of that film, and I wrote it haha.

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Are you going to ask him to pull it?

Naw...who has time to chase all that stuff down?

The extent of my hobby here is perhaps finding a few readers that enjoy my stuff -- as this guy obviously did -- and perhaps accumulating a few IMDb credits along the way.

A lame hobby, perhaps, but it's mine

They are pretty easy to get pulled... but your choice of course...

It appears that the YouTube version is down, however the Vimeo is still up: https://vimeo.com/160672984

What concerns me about  Bert's script is the film maker states, "This was a second year University film showcase, in which a script was given to us to adapt. We were informed we had permission to shoot your script among other scripts by our tutor, we were not aware it was not public domain. "

Perhaps we (I) need to craft a statement regarding "For Educational Purposes Only" and the pitfalls therein.  

e.g., Even if you are going to use the script for educational purposes only, you still need to contact the writer. If you put your film on YouTube or any video site that has advertising on it, the script is no longer for education purposes since someone is making money from it.
