That is most definitely true! And this is why a lot of studios don't accept unsolicited script works unless if you belong to the writers guild.

Although one of the stories I'm writing is slightly based on an storyline on one of the game threads in the RPG board on but those that were involved know about it and they're okay with it.

ETA: I just realized the post I was replying to was posted last year instead of this year. Yikes. Oh well, better to throw in the two cents anyway.
