A few questions now that I'm wrapping up my first script.
* I suppose it is advisable to copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office the final version you intend to send out, as well as register your script with the WGA?
* Do you always wait until after you've received approval to then send your script to others? (U.S. Copyright wait time is 3 months! - you must be able to send before it's cleared?)
* Do you write copyright or WGA registration number or put any copyright information on the title page of the script? I've heard no.
* How do you decide who NOT to send your script to? Is it okay to send to all friends, family, acquaintances, whomever? I've read the likelihood of theft is so low, but it seems like you have to be somewhat choosy. For instance, I clicked on a few people's websites through here, and they usually include title / logline / and a bit of extra info but not full scripts.
All help appreciated on this front.
