: The risk is simply that something he does in the future even remotely resembles something you had in your script. Hell, George Lucas sued Glen Larsen over Battlestar Galactica because they were both set in space and had robots in them (I know, and oversimplification for an example).
jeezus, thats what this system does to people, sad aint it?
: Kevin would NOT read scripts even if there weren't a legal issue because he hates reading scripts. No lie, he's stated many a time that he simply dislikes it. He reads friends scripts on a rare occasion (Ben, Vincent, etc.) as a favor to them.
: So basically, if you aren't his friend (and it's obvious you aren't), don't bother to question it.
He was one of the people i was gonna send mine to when its complete, but the real thing behind this post was just to find out why so many directors say they cant legally do it, but thanx for the information neway
