Did this person ever get back to you?  

Nope, ignored the comments I made on YouTube and the email I sent them too, I guess I shouldn't be surprised if they were happy enough to use my script without asking!

Glad to hear it got taken down. Is it okay if I wish for bad things to happen to the person who ignored you? And I mean real bad. Like lost the remote control and forced to watch Gigli bad.

No one should be forced to watch that, no matter how heinous the crime!

Quoted from MarkItZero Is it okay if I wish for bad things to happen to the person who ignored you? And I mean real bad.

IMO, life is too short to carry anger around and wishing bad things to happen to others.

Regarding this script and its film, I think the worst case I've ever seen was back when there was a TV show produced by S. Spielberg called On The Lot. Filmmakers would submit short films to enter to be on the show where filmmakers would have to think up a story, write a script and then film it with real Hollywood crews. There was one guy, who submitted a film he made. In his intro, he sat and talked about how he wrote the script and blah blah blah... Well, that script was written by an SS member!!! But, thanks to having posted his script here at SS, there were enough people who recognized it and reported the guy to the show! His entry was yanked from the show.   >

Some people have no shame.

I was just setting up a bad joke, Pia. I swear I'm not wishing anything bad on anyone. My level of interest overall on the subject is actually quite low. Like Stephen Baldwin low.

Life is too short not to make fun of Baldwin brothers and Ben Affleck movies.

Quoted from MarkItZero ...Life is too short not to make fun of ... Ben Affleck movies.

Yep, we know you're a softie at heart.

I will just say this about BA:

The Town

Brilliant. Love it. Watch it!

Or, I might just take your remote control away.  

I love The Town!

Film maker has come back to me, her teacher told her it was fine to use it!!!

I know. But, there are people out there carrying grudges and wishing people bad things. I know this for a fact.

Hi Anthony. That has happened before. Many teachers don't know how YouTube works with regard to advertising and fair use. I am a bit gobsmacked leaving your name off the film itself. In a paper, you can't quote someone without attribution.

This might be a case to reach out to the teacher. I've done it before.

Hi Don

I've gone back to the student, will try and pass a message to teacher, I spoke to legal reps at the Autralian uni last time who we appalled the tutor was mis-informing the students... I get that they don't understand Youtube, but copyright and fair use... surely people teaching film students should have some knowledge.

Wow, gobsmacked by all this. I suppose this is the risk we all take on when we put our scripts out there. I wonder how many of our scripts have been taken, re-named and changed just enough so we never find them?

From what I've learnt with this and the other three this year, the students involved aren't doing it maliciously and often do it on the advice of their teachers/tutors ;-(

But at least in these examples they are easy to find and sort out... hate to think that there's others up there that have been changed, no way can I watch every short film on Youtube!
