How Long Does It Take?

In 2007 I witnessed several TV shows stealing my scripts and it forced me to create an index to help my readers see that I was being ripped off. When a production worker paid me a visit and made sure the TV was tuned into MAD TV for their illegal broadcast of my Tuesday Night Long sketch, she watched me closely and chuckled at the humor. I said nothing and resolved to see a lawyer at the first opportunity. That sent me to Ottawa, where I shared my ordeal with lawyers. I had the evidence and it should have been a very simple matter to sue them. But the lawyers told me that these shows were only parodying my work. And my brother Roger got me sent back to Vancouver by telling my parents that I was stealing TV scripts. Frustrated, I carried on with my solitary struggle, my daily posts growing more and more aggressive. I recall going to each page of my account that had been plagiarized by TV shows and staring in wonder at how no one else could see the crimes being committed against me. I felt totally hopeless. And I thought that if I could have so much evidence online and it still wasn't good enough for a lawyer, I had nothing to lose by erasing the damn thing and forgetting I ever wrote it. Funny how my lawyers could tell me that the TV was only parodying my work at the same time as my neighbors were accusing me of stealing it from the TV. Shouldn't a parody differ significantly from its source? And would my neighbors have been satisfied with me telling them that their favorite TV shows were parodying me? I think that legal firm might need to be investigated. There's something corrupt about their handling of this case. Now, you see the kind of attitude I have about the business and how skillful I am at presenting my case. What do you think the business would do if I erased all my work today? Disconnected from my supporters, I would be a wide open target for their lies and fraud. They would try to wipe me out. They would try to make everyone forget how I daily humiliated them by merely stating the truth.
