Hello! I have been a lurker off and on for a year or two now. I love the wealth of information in these message boards.
I just finished the "final" (LOL) draft of my script. An earlier draft of it is registered with the WGA, but I am uncertain of when to copyright it.
I am looking for a script analyst (several posts here have been very helpful in that regard), and I anticipate making changes to my script after I receive feedback on it.
Should I wait until after that process to copyright it? Should I copyright it now? What happens if I copyright it now and end up making significant changes to it?
I know you can register different drafts with the WGA, is this common practice? How often do you register? Should you only register a script a second time if you've made significant changes? Is this necessary?
Thank you!
Samantha
