Hello world. Kristen - did you take down The Inside scripts? I am just rebuilding TheInside.org (slow slow slow), and was going to put the scripts up.

Kevin, I think this is referring to that: Kristen "The Minearverse 4: Support Group for Clumsy People" Mar 27, 2006 1:26:23 am PST

tools.

I have taken them down for now and would ask that people respect that decision. If I can put them back up, I will.

Also, I'm not cool with the idea that anyone would take them off my site and put them on their own.

What's the problem with them being up? The only thing I can see with the copies last online is they were drafts. Well, that and wolfram and hart might decend upon the land.

Kevin, Kristen doesn't own the copyright, and yes, studios have been very sticky about that in the past, including sending law letters to sites that have scripts up. It doesn't (legally) matter if you have permission from the creators, because they don't own the copyright either.

Plus, to some extent it's just a respect issue. If someone is posting a script as a favor for a group of people (namely us), I feel that there's something...I don't know...weird? presumptuous? about taking that script and posting it elsewhere.

FOX is particularly strong in asserting their rights over those things they view as their property. Back in the BtVS days, their lawyers sent cease and desist letters to fan sites where people reported spoilers.

"Point of Origin" was fun. I like the way the team likes to fuck with their unsubs. "Framing" Danny for arson? Heh.

The thermal imaging sequence was really cool. It's funny because that was actually the idea that sprung to mind at Danny's line, but I didn't think it would work.

Jackal, I call him the Ice Cream Man. And up until that moment, I was thinking this episode worked better in order because the fire shots are just more glimpses of him, and it's not until "Little Girl Lost" that we really get to "meet" him. But now we see him in the flesh, and if the last two episodes do involve him, maybe it's better to have this episode so much later.

Working for the FBI looks like hard work. They're always so busy! There's no time to check TWoP and b.org and LJ every five minutes.

Just speaking for me because I have some experience in this, but: As a webmaster for an official site, I also think it's presumptuous to just take things from other sites to post. It takes a lot of work to be official and get special things, and when people repost things to their sites it provides less of a reason for people to go to your site.

I know it's the Internet, I know tons of people do that, I know of sites that do nothing but repost content from other sites, I know it's how it is. But I don't think it's right. Sorry. Just a peeve of mind.

Speaking not as a web master, but as an individual, I would say wanting to do so, or complaining about not being able to do so, when the owner of the site has clearly and unambigiously made a decision to take them down, is rather strange and offputting, not to mention rude.
