No.. not that kind of protection.

I'm curious what people on this site do/have done to protect their work?  Submitting a script on a website for all the world to see... are you nervous it could be stolen?  

I would hate to work hard writing the best screenplay the world has ever seen only to have someone claim it as their own work. Do you somehow obtain a copyright?  Or register with the writers guild?

Thanks!

(and my apologies if there is a better forum where this should have been posted.

There's actually a lot of threads where this is discussed.  Can't look myself at the moment but perhaps if someone knows where they are they can post a link.    Up at the top of the page there's a button labelled Search - if you click that and then search for Copyright you will probably find those threads.  Maybe a search for WGA would work as well.  Hope that helps.

Ya.. Couldn't get the search to work last night, but was just found that the Advance Search does.  Weird.

Thanks.
