| F*CK. Someone stole some intellectual property that my friend and I pitched to a studio. I just heard NPR do a piece on it- and they described not only the exact same characters we came up with, but the same freaking episode. I'm gonna barf. | |

| If I can find any tangible connection between someone involved in making this and the studio, I will definitely get a lawyer. | |

| Ugh, that beyond sucks, Luna. I hope you can nail the ratbag that stole your intellectual property. I went through something similar a couple of years back and there was nothing I could do about it, but it's one of the reasons I gave up designing! | |

| See if you can find a lawyer that will help you Pro bono (for free). If a valid connection can be made and a lawsuit filed. Have the moronic idiots pay for you lawyar's fee rather than a portion of any possible win in a civil case. Give them hell. ___________________________________________________ Reese's, Kashmir's, and Tequila's mommy. | |

| I have to really think this one out. I have to make sure all the ducks line up. I was upset initially- but I'm over it now. I have other ideas. It was just a good one. Makes me sad.
Oh well. | |

| Oh my god. I couldn't bring myself to watch the show past one episode. I had my boyfriend do it... He hadn't seen our pitch yet.
Then, after he had watched the episodes of the show... I described all the characters and our storylines to him. He says that the characters are identical- and the storylines they have are all of our elements- just mixed up a little bit. But it's pretty much a rip off. He got the name of a lawyer for me. I'm going to evaluate this- which means I have to watch the entire show- all the episodes and make a list of similarities and differences. It really looks like they stole the elements from us- and I'm really upset.
If it was just a similar premise- that's one thing. But the cast of characters are also all the same. And the story elements. That just seems like too much of a coincidence. I'm so upset. | |

| I'm pretty sure now I know exactly how this happened. I just reasoned it out. I can't believe I was so stupid. | |

| Do you have any recourse, Luna? Or is this one of those cases where the powerful used their power and there's nothing you can do about it? ___________________________________________________ I'm not old. I've just been young for a very long time...

| I too went recently to the lawyer. I asked about divorce and all nuances at my divorce, about the fears and threats from the husband. The lawyer listened to me, looked at documents and told that anything terrible in my business isn't present. That threats of the husband the empty. I will be quieter now. | |
