Fox Sues Blogger, Aspiring Screenwriter For Copyright Infringement Over Her Site

From THR, Esq.’s blog: Fox is suing Patricia McIlwaine for copyright infringement over her website. Who’s Ms. McIlwaine? She’s a “struggling screenwriter” who has posted numerous scripts, according to Fox without permission. Among them: “Aliens,” “Edward Scissorhands,” and “Glee.” She says she merely acts as an aggregator. The scripts are already available elsewhere on the ‘net. Fox says she is leaking scripts, because the text of the X-Men sequel “Deadpool” is available on her site.
