I liked this quote about Hollywood, scripts, and copyrights... "The problem is that while scripts can be copyrighted, ideas cannot. So, if Hollywood gets pitched an idea and likes it, but doesn’t want to deal with the whole “paying for the script” thing, they can just hire someone to write another script based on “their” idea. Since they have much bigger, meaner lawyers than your average spec script writer, the writer kinda gets boned. So even the mythical “original idea” in Hollywood? Yeah, it may not be so original after all." www.filmschoolrejects.com/features/6-things-the-film-industry-doesnt-want-you-to-know-about.php/all/1df1

Unfortunately the link doesn't appear to work but your thoughts on the subject work just fine. This is one area that Kickstarter is probably not a great idea because promising projects that don't get launched because they fail to meet their requirement could very easily be taken, slightly changed and run with because they have the means to make it happen and fight off any battles that should arise with ease. You could almost have workers who trolled sites like this looking for ideas and running the ideas by higher ups.

Checked again, nope....not here. It gives me a "server not found" message anytime I click on it.
Anyway, no biggie.

That's probably a problem with the nameserver mapping the domain name to the IP address. Odd. I swapped the domain name with the IP address in the URL path and it said the article was not found. It did go to the same web site. df1
