OP, this is amazing. Will be using this heavily. What are your plans for the future?

Thanks, I'm really happy you think this is useful! This is just a small hobby project I have done over a couple of weekends. I don't have huge plans for it, I just want to keep finding more screenplays and adding them to the library, to make it even more useful to people. Maybe I'll enable users submit their own screenplays and add them to the library (and create a new category for unproduced/spec scripts). Technical…

Digital writing rooms seem like a cool idea. If you make one, shoot me an email! I'm just about as aspiring as it gets, I try to spend time getting comfortable with tools like Fade In but have yet to produce anything meaningful.

Pivot immediately to offering excepts, and then contact the publishers for resale rights when a request comes in.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Reminder, unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted works is sometimes legal, e.g. fair use.

Fair use is a defense. After you get sued, you can argue fair use in court. It does not stop you from getting sued.

Removing content quickly after being asked is a good way to avoid a lawsuit.

A treasure trove, especially if it sticks around. I like reading screenplays (and "regular" plays) because you have to imagine the "look and feel" of almost everything . It really exercises the visual imagination. If you have seen the movie, or play, you might remember much of it, but you'll have to make up a bunch of stuff too, or you might find your imagination going in some other direction -- but the story is stil…

Until I saw this site, I had no idea how much detail was written in scripts.

I can't help but think this would be good training data for mapping text to long-form video. Even if it's too hard right now, don't underestimate our collective progress.

Great idea!
