Title: The new Serek Dmart
Post by: DraconianOne on December 01, 2010, 01:53:52 AM
There's all sorts of David vs Goliath shenanigans going on in the world of screenplay websites this week after Fox launched a $15million lawsuit against a working mum (with a couple of screenwriting credits to her name) because she made some of their screenplays available online for free. I'm not going to debate the legality of this (because it really isn't legal) or the sledgehammer that Fox is weilding to crack this particular egg (when they could go after sites that sell said copyrighted scripts illegally) but I'm mentioning it because of a curious character that has surfaced.

Don Murphy who infamously was punched by Quentin Tarantino in a Hollywood restaurant, could well turn out to be the Serek Dmart of the film producing world following this blog post on MyPDFScripts : http://www.mypdfscripts.com/thelatest/concerning-the-15-million-script-trading-lawsuit-pt-3-the-don-murphy-edition (http://www.mypdfscripts.com/thelatest/concerning-the-15-million-script-trading-lawsuit-pt-3-the-don-murphy-edition)

It's an approach to web posting worthy of SDmart himself.  :drill:

Murphy has been showing up in forums/comment threads for the better part of a decade to fight with nerds on AICN, CHUD, etc., who don't like his movies.
