awwwww....That really sucks....don't really know what to say but Fox really should leave her alone and go after who leaked the script first, if anyone.

EAT IT, FLOWER SELLING MOM. CRIME DOESN'T PAY. AND NEITHER DOES DISTRIBUTING SCRIPTS OF...STUFF.

The law is the law.

I really don't know how to feel about this...yeah it sucks that she's a struggling mother but she should have known better than to post a script from an unreleased film from a major studio...but...on the other hand Fox should be going after the people who posted it in the first place and ordering websites to take it down before going after someone who posted it on Mediafire

  I'd probably need more information on the situation, but I do say that it's really sad.  Suing a hard working mom for 15 million when we all know she probably doesn't have that much money in her dreams and despite the fact that there are other sites who leaked it first.  >..>  Heck, instead of scapegoating the lady, go find the actual perpetrator of the leaking and see how much you can sue him for.

I'm not surprised. They'd do anything for money.

A dick move on Fox's part but not an unexpected one.

  This actually sounds like something I'd see on the Colbert Report.

her own fault

the title of this article alone is biased. It doesn't matter that she's a "struggling mom". She broke the law. However, what they should have done is forced her to take it down. Not sued her. She probably doesn't have that much money anyway.

Go after the first people who put the script out, then go after the people who followed their idea.

20 million dollars is a ridiculous amount to charge a struggling mother. Screw Fox

Hahahaha...
Fox does anything for money.
Why they belive she have that much money is beyond me.

Forget the money, it's symbolic amount it's not meant to be paid it's meant to signify the potential loss. 
 
I've got no sympathy for this woman, think about Wolverine Origins, no matter what you thought about that film the fact was when it was leaked it cost that film money. A lot of people never went to see that movie due to either seeing the pirated/unfinished version or choosing not to watch it on the back of those reviews. 
 
Luckily it still made a good amount of money but if it hadn't and had lost money due to that leak then who do you think would have paid? Shit roll downwards my friends, the executives and CEO's would still get paid but it would be hard working scriptwriters, crew and various other people who no doubt have families who wouldn't have a job on the next film because of that leak. 
 
Now Deadpool is a smaller film with less chance of success so her distributing of the script was very damaging. It's not the film studios fault she may not be able to feed her kids, she knew the possible consequences so this is her fault alone. Take some personal responsibility and stop looking for sympathy by posting on your website 

It was stupid of her to post the script on-line, however FOX should be going after the ones who leaked it in the first place.
 
Always hated FOX anyway.

i don't condone her actions but come on there's no need to do a Hiroshima on the poor woman

Why poor woman? She intentionally distributed a film script? Why does she get a pass cos she's a woman and has kids? If anything she should get less leniency from us because she should be more responsible as she has kids.  
If this was some single guy who done this would you be giving them as much sympathy? 
 
Fox are going after all involved and I don't blame them, it's a lot of money they invest in movies and this type of behaviour screws us in the end. 
 
Piracy = less money = less risks by the studios = less chance of good movies being made

True but like I said it's a symbolic amount, whether they sue her for 100k or 15 mil her life's going to be ruined and it's unlikely they will get their money. But by going for this amount it gives an idea of how much they've lost, possibly deters others from doing it and most importantly it sets a precedent. An important thing in the legal world

I don't see anything wrong with what she did, once something's posted on the internet there is no containing it. If she were selling it then there would be a problem, but it was posted on her free site.

The moral of this story: Don't post illegal thing on the net from your home computer or big bad Fox will get you.

" the title of this article alone is biased. It doesn't matter that she's a "struggling mom". She broke the law. However, what they should have done is forced her to take it down. Not sued her. She probably doesn't have that much money anyway. "

...So does this mean that they won't use that script now that everyone's read it, or...
 
On a side note, anyone know where to find the script? (jk)

" @DEADPOOL: she knowingly distributed something that wasn't hers.  If everyone else on the internet was jumping off the internet bridge should she have? "

yay fox!

She made a big mistake by letting them in or talking to them. They don't have the right to ask her any thing or investigate unless they were police with a warrant. She can counter sue for this. She can also claim she didn't know the script was stolen and that she just copied it of a website but she wasn't the one who leaked out the scripts or stole it literally but just copied something on the internet which is unkown if it was stolen or not. She didn't steal because she didn't steal it from anyone but copied it from a website.  
Companies should learn to hire responsible and honest people and keep info secret from non employee. Anyone who leaks info should be fired.

I'm not saying that this is the only reason for bad movies being out there but lack of money does play a big part in these things. Studios are all about the money, it's the bottom line and decides everything. You cant just blame the execs and let the pirates take no responsibility. 
 
Let's take a look at MGM, it's a big studio with a very rich history but is suffering from financial constraints. Now because there is not as much money to go around they are focusing on 2 franchises Bond and The Hobbit. These two are near guaranteed to make money so it makes sense to put your eggs in these baskets. So this means there is no money available to take any risks on say a new comic book franchise. Now bad decisions are a big part of MGM's problems but so is piracy, it's naive to think it doesn't play a part. 
 
The comic industry does it too. When Marvel or DC decide to put out yet another Avengers or Bat-Book but cancels a new book that's just getting into it's stride but not getting stellar figures, you can't blame the company for taking the safer bet. Especially if part of the reason for the low sales is due to people pirating the comic on the web. 
 
My point is this, there's no single reason for these problems but piracy is a large factor. We all have either benefited from piracy or know someone who has benefited, it is rampant in today's technologically advanced society and it has to be accepted the same way brick and mortar shops accept there will always be some theft/shoplifting. In the same way a shoplifter cant complain when they are prosecuted it would be wrong for someone helping* in piracy to not accept there will be consequences.  
 
In this case the consequences are quite large but like I said before this $15m sum is symbolic and also as a legal precedent, to set it any lower could make things diffcult from a legal standpoint in future.
 
*please note I said helping for a reason, this woman was not using the script for personal consumption but was assisting in the distribution.

Can't get blood from a turnip ^_-
 
Fox wont wreck her though, they dont need to. Theyre just making flames and propaganda in the news like 
they always to defend their turf.

wow FOX just wow.....always messing things up...

I love the world.

" @DeathpooltheT1000:    The prequels were filled with at least B listers and IT'S FUCKING STAR WARS ha ha ha.  Same goes for Lord the Rings despite it not being FUCKING STAR WARS. Lord of the Rings is a big franchise many know.  The fact is people see movies with stars in them. Because they're stupid. "
