IMO - no.

Be good at what you do. If you ain't got it, do something else.

What do you think about NDA's?

Quoted from WesleyV What do you think about NDA's?

Unless your name is Sorkin or Tarentino, you ain't going to get anyone who you want to read your script to sign one. I am not sure what you don't understand. It works the other way. More than likely you, not they (agents/producers, etc)  will have a requirement that you sign a waiver absolving them of responsibility.

Listen man, Im asking a question that only needs a polite answer.

It's like the guy said on the video, why would he sign the NDA?
He goes unto say that it is the No. 1 fear of writers, that you think your idea is so unique that somebody is going to steal it and it 99.9 % of the time it doesn't happen.
I would never send one, cause it's like saying 'hands off'. Even though I copyright my stuff, I don't put the copyright number on the script. It took me a long time to learn this.

Not sure what you found impolite. But, oh well.

Re an NDA, the reason that a writer will never get the reader (agent, producer, etc) to sign an NDA or Release is that it's like asking them them to sign an agreement that you have the right to sue them.

If they're either contemplating a current project or later become attached to a future project that resembles your script, even in the slightest, it exposes them to an infringement lawsuit.

Instead, they have you sign the reverse - you promise to never sue them for infringement. I personally don't think that's enforceable if they're out and out crooks about stealing your script. But if the theft is at all grey (a couple scenes are similar, or the idea is similar but the execution is different), you'll lose. Either way, a lawsuit like that, depending on where it's filed, could take 5 years to see a trial.

As people have commented on this thread, don't waste energy on the issue. Just write well.
