- pluc 5mo agoPut what you recall on paper, turn it into a screenplay. Let me know how quickly you get sued.
- IcyWindows 5mo agoOne could argue most screenplays are derivative.
- badlibrarian 5mo agoHollywood has extraordinarily well-defined controls for keeping things legal and everyone in the chain compensated. Plus a separate Oscars category for it.
- analog8374 5mo agoI heard somewhere there's like eight basic plots or something. and everything else is just an elaboration on that
- jimmaswell 5mo agoGood artists copy, great artists steal.
- badlibrarian 5mo agoTrillion dollar companies license.
- badlibrarian 5mo agoTrue, they live in your head rent free. But if you produce a derivative work, you have to pay.
- stackedinserter 5mo agoDerivative work has a specific and narrow definition that's not applicable here. You don't have to pay anyone when you answer questions for money.
- badlibrarian 5mo agoOP says he has movies in his head and doesn't have to pay royalties. I told him that if he produces a derivative work, he has to pay royalties. Your comment doesn't follow, but I'll address it. A trivia host doesn't have to pay royalties to ask questions, and the players don't have to pay royalties to answer them. If that turns into "movie night" at the bar then they have to pay royalties to screen the full film. If a professor plays clips in film class, he doesn't. Your implication is that an LLM is little more than an brilliant film scholar or exceptionally well-read librarian, and that the matter is settled. The billions of dollars in play across a dozen active court cases say it isn't.
