I don't know the ins and outs of Writers Guild but it would seem that this is a non-issue for the OP?

Yes and no. If a script turns up, written by X, and is produced and released here....and it has similarities to some other project....and makes some money (this is crucial) lawyers await.

I'm confused as to why you think it's going to be similar to any other project? He's trying to portray an accurate rush. As MysticCat pointed out, if he successfully does that it will be unlike any other project in the history of man. He also stated that the rush experience was only a small part of the script. Where is this statement coming from?

AlphaFrog, I didn't get that inference from what ellebud wrote. The way I interpreted it, she was giving a general explanation and answer to previous posters' questions/remarks/comments about WGA and unsolicited scripts in general.

and agzg - that is one great Hallelujah graphic. Plus I learned a new word in this thread: fora is the plural form of forum. (say that five times, fast).
