Top Agent caught red-handed
Top Agent caught red-handed selling synopses of aspiring writers to big companies.
Anti-competitive behaviours towards disadvantaged writers.
When agents and publishers steal synopses of aspiring writers, to give to their established projects, to cut up and say that they are just “ideas,” you end up with an industry where most writers are shat on and over 90% of books sell next to nothing.
Its ok to take inspiration from ideas of works that you love from the past and pay homage to it, without copying it. These pieces of work become a part of pop culture, and you can’t copyright that. Say for instance, vampires or whatever.
It’s different to abuse your trust and position in big, rich and established companies to pass around the synopses of an underprivileged aspiring writer, who you know has disability related problems and vulnerabilities, then try to gaslight said writer. This is no better than how the Nazis began their fascist hate campaigns towards disabled, gay, and Jewish people toward the beginning of WW2. This is terrible behaviour.
Stealing someone’s work and changing it, is intellectual property theft, this alone will crumble a reputation. Then using the victims vulnerability of PTSD to gaslight, saying look, he/ she’s mad, is psychological abuse. This is protected against under the Equality Act 2010 and under mental disability, which is also a protected characteristic which triggers Article 14 of the Human Rights Act 1989.
Thus when I prove intellectual property theft and copyright infringements and said abusers have known about PTSD and still progressed with the theft and prolonged cases by lying or threatening legal action against me, knowing the psychological damage it would cause, this is now a case far darker and much more serious than IP Theft. Its criminal convictions for all involved.
As if this wasn’t enough, this behaviour prevents aspiring writers from braking through, as their synopses and ideas have already been done. So if they do eventually brake into the bubble, they’re work feels old and already explored. On top of this, there are very few big publishers left, thus coming to them with an idea, which their competitors or themselves have seen already (because your work was stolen) is unlikely to be attractive to them.
This is Anti-competitive behaviour towards up and coming writers. It’s the same as infanticide in lions towards cubs of different males. Anti-competitive behaviour refers to actions taken by firms to manipulate markets, stifle competition, or gain an unfair advantage over rivals.
Thus, cases like this one, show how the whole literary industry is being manipulated and constructed from Bottom-Up by theft and anti-competitive behaviour. And the same is happening from Up-down. Thus in the middle, you have a pinch, like a sand timer of everything pushing from up and down onto the pressured narrow kink in the middle, being controlled further by gatekeepers, preventing writers from succeeding. It’s simply easier for an agent to give the work of unknown writers to their established writers with proven followings.
There is a reason we have laws and copyright, it’s not so the big boys can take your work to different established platforms, say Marvel or Netflix to sell underhanded.
I recently became aware of my work (synopses) being misused and distributed to established writers and shark tank writing rooms to use as the skeleton back bones of their works, beat for beat, copying and changing things up slightly.
I’m pretty calm and composed about it right now, because I believe I will get justice and these infringements will be rectified. If this gets messy, I’m happy to expose all infringements, all people involved and their methods. However, I will be doing it in a legal manner.
