I have had my scripts available to download by "industry insiders" on sites like blklst and coverfly for some time now, and because they have done well in competitions, I get weekly notices that someone new has downloaded one of them.
I am becoming increasingly more worried because in the last few years a number of movies and shows have come out that are unbelievably similar to something I wrote (but just different enough where I probably couldn't prove it). Again, I don't have any proof of stealing because I don't even know who downloaded the scripts and it could be untraceable as in a producer downloads it, sends it to his favorite writer and tells the to "write something similar" blah blah.
What are your thoughts on this? As a writer trying to get repped and sell and break into the industry, this is frustrating and I'm wondering if my projects should even be "discoverable" on sites like this? But then again if they aren't, well then im even more invisible. Thank you.
