Sumbitting the script to the US Copyright office for a registered copyright gets you one set of legal protections. Sending it to the Writers Guild gets you a different set of protections.\n\nThe US Copyright office will accept hardcopy submissions, and as long as the printout is legible, the formatting is usually not a big concern. They generally don't care about margins or type fonts, unless those elements are part of the artistic work being protected. If all you care about is the text of the script, then formatting is not an issue.\n\nYou can submit the document to the US Copyright office directly. The instructions are on their website (www.copyright.gov).

The law is contradictory on the point.  On the one hand, fair use legislation allows it.  On the other hand, the DMCA legislation prohibits defeating copy protection.  The courts have been leaning in favor of the movie studios, but the issue is not fully settled.

In general, a phrase that short probably is not copyrightable. It may be trademarked, which would protect it from being reused within the same commercial context (so you probably can't write a book, play or screenplay with that name). But, for instance, if you wanted to open a pet store with that name, you'd probably be ok.\n\nThis doesn't constitute legal advice, however. Before you do anything, consult an attorney.

You need to hire a lawyer and get a copyright for your screenplay.\n\nOnce you have legal proof you are the copyright holder you can send me your screenplay and copies of your legal documents and then my assistant's assistant will read it and if she likes it then my assistant will get back to you with more detailed information about the next step.\n\nTop 3 Answerer in Business & Finance.

You should be able to, depending what codec you use to save the movie will be what impacts who can and can't view it though.\n\nedit:  I thought you meant a website that had software for making movies.  The best is limewire, but you need to reset your router each time you log in to change your IP or youll get traced.  There are private servers too that have movies.\n\nI know of a private hotline server that has a ton of free movies, but I dont want to post the link and have the guys bandwidth bill shoot up.  Youll have to email me for that and cant give it out

No...it is copyright infringement....I would seek permission first....and then you can acually sell the permission...lol...and make a profit.\n\nCopyrights are very easy to obtain...and there is not always a record of it. BE CAREFUL.

I don't think it is classed as copyright but if you make a copy and send it to yourself by registered post, you have some sort of proof you owned it before making it public.  but then again, why make it public in the first place?  \nWhen the tape arrives through the postal system, DON'T open the packet!!!

There are plenty of places on-line. The problem is because they're free, it isn't very organized and there isn't a system for formatting. But there are tons, and you can almost find anything except some foreign or really old or obsure ones. If you do a search you should find a couple more, but here's some to get you started...\nhttp://www.simplyscripts.com/\nhttp://www.movie-page.com/movie_scripts.htm

You can try taking it to a production company, or you could mail it to a producer. But those people get tons and tonns of screenplays, and for the most part they toss them in the trashbin.\n\nWhat you need to do is get a connection. Find someone involved in the film business and have them read your screenplay, then take it to someone higher up. This way at least you might have a fighting chance.

First of all, you must register for free on the YouTube network. This is a process that will not take you too long. Once you are registered, you can start on making your movie. \n\nYou can make your movie in two ways:\n\na) Still Pictures: You can snap a collection of pictures, rather like animators do, and then use Windows Movie Maker or AVS MovieCrash (www.avsmedia.com) to make your movie.\n\nb) Video Mode: If you have made a moview with your webcam or your video camera, then you can immediately post it on YouTube after signing in. However, I would recommend making finshing touches with AVS MovieToucher (www.avsmedia.com).\n\nI hope this answers your query. If you have any more questions then feel free to contact me (asad_khawer@yahoo.com).

This is not as easy as it should be.  For copyrighted movies, you will need to decrypt it which is probably illegal in the US despite what sounds like a fair use from your description (ask your lawyer).  As to the how...for tools and faqs and walkthroughs go to doom9.org and afterdawn.com.  mpeg2 isn't as popular as mpeg4/divx...it may be that either would work for your purposes so you might want to look at other formats.

No its illegal to do that if its not a home movie.\nIf it is a home movie....\nyou need to acess the moive file that already on your computer or rip the dvd. then you need to find the small clip you want and use a movie editor like windows movie maker to take out that clip. then make a small webpage and stick in the video clip and upload it to your blogging thing site thing thing.

No.  That would be considered an unauthorized public performance.  You would probably hve to pay the same price as the movie theatres ot play it once and the same as the video rental stores if it is going to be shown repeatedly.  Contact whoever owns the rights to the movie to find out what the cost is.
