Okay, speaking hypothetically. I write a piece. I like it. I register it with the WGA. Then, for whatever reason, I start making changes to it. At what point does WGA effectively say "well, you registered something with us, but this is a different work that isn't registered." Put another way, when does the registration no longer really apply to the work as it stands now?
The moment I correct a single typo?
When I break up my sitcom spec to have three acts instead of two?
When I pull every character but one out of my gritty action thriller and turn it into an uplifting story about a broken down race horse who becomes a champion through the love of a plucky ten-year-old girl?
Basically, how flexible or inflexible is a registration with regard to subsequent editing?
Thanks,
John
