how much did a24 payed him after they stolened his idea??
>>224168935To be fair, how the hell would you even track this person down? I guarantee that at least 10,000 people would surface claiming to be the OP
>>224168935Good luck proving YOU were the one who came up with the concept. If he had posted it to Reddit he might have actually stood a chance of getting paid.
>>224168935>his ideathis is literally an ancient concept
>>224168935Curry Baker and Kane Parsons own Sterling estate a lot of money
>>224169058There's also a Twilight Zone episode where a little girl "no-clips" though a wall and they have to find a way to get her back (I believe it's called "Little girl lost"), and there's probably 8 trillion films where a woman becomes obsessed with a man, either trhough supernatural means or because she's just crazy.I didn't particularly like either film, but it's unfair to criticize them because the ideas aren't 100000% original, very few things are, especially nowadays. You can take old ideas and spin them around endlessly.
>>224168986but lets say he could prove it? does he have to do it immediately or can he wait 20 years and force them to give him all the money from the whole franchise?
>>224168935>endless labyrinthnot an original idea
>>224169240>there's probably 8 trillion films where a woman becomes obsessed with a man, either trhough supernatural means or because she's just crazyThere's literally a Fairly OddParents episode where Trixie becomes obsessed with Timmy because he wishes they were the only two people left on Earth....if you take that detail out of the equation it's essentially the plot of Obsession...which is very strange, because I remember when Ready Player One came out someone was claiming that the plot was stolen wholesale from an episode of Danny Phantom, also set in a VR videogame and where lots of the story beats echo one enother......so maybe Hollywood owes Butch Hartman a lot of money by this point
>>224169240Obsession was extra unoriginal thought
>>224168935There were so many shitty, poorly lit office buildings that went empty, especially when related to manufacturing. The reason the meme even works is because there's enough vestige of that in the culture, even without the 4chan post.
>>224168935That's two people though. It was a reply to the OP.
>>224169299Obsession was trash. I hated that film. The plot goes absolutely nowhere until the end, the writing was appallingly bad.
>>224169260Everything you post here essentially becomes public domain
>>224168935KEK incel chud mad
>>224169260>but lets say he could prove it?The only way he could prove it would be if he had a screenshot that could be dated exactly to the day in which the 4Chan thread was started, otherwise it's impossible since the original thread wasn't archived>does he have to do it immediately or can he wait 20 years and force them to give him all the money from the whole franchise?He should strike the iron while it's hot! If he could prove that he's the OP, therefore he came up with the whole concept for the franchise right now, while it's still a hot commodity and has just come out and made a big splash, he could make millionsIn 20 years I doubt anyone's gonna give a shit
>>224169327then why is it double illegal for me to scawl nigger over niggers graffiti art?
>>224169348Anything on anyone's computer can have it's timestamp artificially set. You can only prove it via a third party. Eg the 4chan thread would have to still be up and he would have to prove the IP belonging to the original post belonged to an address he lived at.
>>224168935Backrooms OP has to be the most seething human on Earth right now lmaoooI really feel sorry for him, people don't even know who he is
>>224169384...well then he's royally screwed! I'd be BOILING
>>224168935You don't own posts you make on 4chan
>>224169387Maybe he just lives a good life and isn't constantly crying about not being rich.
>>224169418Forget the money, I'd be in it for the glory
>>224169260>lets say he could prove itOk, lets just say he can prove it beyond a doubt. He still couldnt claim the money. This idea wasnt original, it was just the very basic premise, not the whole script, no details. It was also openly shared by himself. The picture also wasnt made or posted by him.
>>224169440Buddy have you heard of the ER and The Pitt lawsuit that's happening?You don't even need a premise. You just need 3 things in common with what you said and what they made.
>>224169440>>224169456I'd say both cases are true depending on how good a lawyer you can get kek
>>224168935As long as Mr bergenstein can buy another island I am happy
>>224169456>ER and The Pitt lawsuitNo, I have absolutely no idea what you mean.
>>224168935>PaidIs your spell check broken?
>>224168935>this thread again after spamming it earlier this year.
>>224169902dumb phonefaggot
>>224169456Thats different though, since ER is a fully fleshed out IP with copyrights and all. It is very famous and awards. The "original" backrooms post is more like a random napkin, with 2 sentences scribbled on it, you found at a bar
>>224168935I fucking hate zoomers so much. To this day I don't understand why is this even a thing. Oh no, empty rooms, that's so scary.The next zoomer horror movie will be about a number calling them on their phone and they're afraid to pick it up. When they send a text, no one responds and the number keeps calling even if they block it.
>>224170139I mean, yeah you just dont understand it if you really think "empty room is scary" is the whole appeal here
>>224170139Or a horror movie about them having to do 2 different chores next week. Its called "The Mental Load"
>>224170139Im almost 40 and I also hate that shit. I dont answer unknown numbers. If you are a friend with a new number just text me. If you are stranger, fuck off calling my private number
