You poured yourself into writing your script. You should have registered it — with the Copyright Office, the WGAW, or both — but you didn't get around to it. And now the unthinkable has happened: someone stole it. A filmmaker, a producer, somebody took your work and is running with it like it's theirs. On top of that, you're broke. No attorney. No court funds. Nothing. So now what?
That's exactly where Tom Martino's Troubleshooter show can make a real difference. For 50 years, Tom has dedicated his life to standing up for consumers — and his track record is extraordinary. As the longest-running radio talk show host in America, he's helped recover hundreds of millions of dollars for people who had nowhere else to turn. Nothing else out there — no podcast, stream, or social media platform — comes close to the real-world impact this show delivers
If you're open to sharing your story on live radio and getting free help in return, Tom Martino would love to hear from you. Call 303-MARTINO or click the Troubleshooter image above to take the first step
COPYRIGHT & WGAWEST registration process places preventative measures against plagiarism or unauthorized use of an author's material. While someone else may have the same idea in his or her material, the evidence lies in the author's presentation of their work. Registering one's work does not disallow others from having a similar idea. Rather, registering one's work with COPYRIGHT & WGAWEST would potentially discourage others from using someone else’s work without permission. Though the Registry cannot prevent plagiarism, it can produce the registered material as well as confirm the date of registration. Registering one's work creates legal evidence for the material that establishes a date for the material's existence. The COPYRIGHT & WGAWEST Registry, as a neutral third party, can testify for that evidence. Registering one's work with the COPYRIGHT & WGAWEST Registry creates valid legal evidence that can be used in court
