Celtx Is A Scam?

Hello my fellow screenwriters, or just viewers.  Back in 2007, I downloaded and used Celtx free software to write a script.  I noticed that if you wanted to format your SCRIPT, you had to be connected to the INTERNET. At first, I paid no mind to it.  But then, when I started to see my material (in some shape or form) on current (2009-2011) TV shows and movies, I had to pace my self.

Please do not take this lightly if you are a writer, because the movie industry isn't as creative as they are made out to be. In fact, they're thirsty for intuitiveness, creativity, and innovative ideas because they lack it.  Anything that is labeled "FREE", isn't really free if you think about it.  Just learn how to use tabs in your regular document program.


Another scam producers and production companies use to steal your creativeness is registering your script in WGA or WGAW.  They will come up with a million reasons why you should register with them instead of the copyright office. but lets makes this clear.  If they do still your ideas without paying you, you have nothing to use against them in court.

The best thing to do is copyright your script and pitch it.  And don't use celtx, they are secretly stealing from us.
