Contact YT and complain about copyright!

Quoted from Grandma Bear Contact YT and complain about copyright!

Did this morning. Just waiting for them to take action.

Quoted from Yuvraj I just noticed that the comments written by Zack and Dave on the YT page have been deleted!!

Yep. Seems like someone is deleting comments.

Sent the filmmaker a not-so-nice email a little bit ago. Check out their response...

"Dear Zack,

I was sent this script from a friend. He mentioned that it was on a website where you can use un-produced scripts for free.

I've asked him if he was a 100% sure no credits have to be given and we can use it and he said yes. So I went with what he said since I couldn't find any name on it as he edited the script beforehand.

Please accept my sincere apologies, I will give you credit for the script for sure and I'll talk to him to see where he got it from.

Thanks, "

This is getting weird.

Oh well, that's okay then.

If your friend said that, it must be true and you also must be higgledy-piggledy be able to claim any writing as your own.  

What a way to start your professional career.
Personally, I'd get it pulled and tell him where to go.

Ugh. Sounds like total BS

Assuming the script came from SS:

All screenplays on the simplyscripts.com and simplyscripts.net domain are copyrighted to their respective authors. All rights reserved. This screenplaymay not be used or reproduced for any purpose including educational purposes without the expressed written permission of the author.

Pretty clear info, and in red.

It doesn't say, take what you want, and heck, while you're at it, put your name on it too.

I'll shut up now.
This stuff and then feeble dishonest excuses rile me up.

Commented on the video and tried to submit a copyright report but looks like you're the only one that can do it.

Well, free use doesn't mean that you don't even do the courtesy of asking for permission.

And giving no credits goes above and beyond.

BS cos they’ve been good at deleting comments. Why would they delete them then

I tried to report the video and get it taken down, but youtube denied me and claimed that they need more information before they can take action. I already provided them with the screenplay. Really not sure what else I can do?

Zack, it might seem like an obvious question, but did you link to the site here, the feedback given, the permissions required, and the previous film with your name attached?

Not to mention the link already on YouTube:

- with your name attached - actually, your name as top billing on that one.

Tell them it contains Covid conspiracy.  They'll take it down.

I didn't post a link to the discussion board(the links are always broken ), but I did send them a link to the other version of the short. Not sure what else I can do.

I've been trying to get the filmmaker to do the right thing and simply take the video down. Still waiting on a response...

Lmao! Be funny if that actually worked.

I'm very proud to have my name attached to this.
