Screenwriting : Script by Ye Vi

Script

Thinking of uploading my script as suggested or at least saying what it’s about, but I have to register with WGA first. I know just writing it is copyright in itself but I want to be careful. I can’t afford to copyright everything I write so I’m planning on going the WGA route as it’s cheaper. My book that the script is from has a copyright at least. Just “thinking out loud”.

Is your book registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, Ye Vi?

Okay, Ye Vi. I suggest contacting the Copyright Office and asking if you need to register your script since you registered your book already. www.copyright.gov

Writing isn't really copyright itself. Not in a hire a lawyer easily and get compensation sense. Not in a successfully sign over a chain of title sense.

WGA isn't the real deal. USCO is. If someone told you to go the WGA route, you need to question their advice in general.

Maurice is spot on. Copyright it with U.S. Copyright Office.
