From the submission agreement (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;studios.amazon.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;submission-agreement" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;studios.amazon.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;submission-agreement</a>):<p>&gt; You will have no right to compensation in connection with the exploitation of rights you grant under this Agreement.<p>So, why would anyone participate in this program, if the best possible outcome is that Amazon uses your idea, makes millions, and does not pay you a cent?

I&#x27;m a indie filmmaker and would love to receive movie scripts from people. Why submit to Amazon when you can submit to me or other indie filmmakers? Very small companies do not have the disadvantages regarding your rights that large studios have, and there is a greater chance of your script being turned into a film. Our budgets are often larger than you would guess, and it is common for angel investors to provide a sufficient budget for passionate filmmakers.

The Similar Content clause is a gold mine. Good luck suing Amazon and proving there is &quot;substantial similarity&quot;.<p>&quot;Given the open nature of Amazon Studios, Amazon Studios participants may develop and submit scripts, movies, shows, and videos that are similar to each other. In order to prevent legal claims that could be disruptive to Amazon Studios participants and impede the ability of Amazon scripts, movies, shows and videos to be developed and released, you agree to irrevocably and forever waive any legal claim you may have under any theory of law in any territory, including, without limitation, copyright infringement or breach of implied in fact contract (idea submission), that your rights were infringed due to any similarity between your Content and any other content that is or may become available on Amazon, unless there is substantial similarity of protectable expression under United States copyright law between your Content and the other content and the other content includes a verbatim copy of a material portion of your script or other written material, if your Content is a script or other written material, or a re-use of a material portion of footage from your movie, show or other video if your Content is a movie, show, or other video. Note that the Account Agreement includes additional waivers of claims related to Content that apply to the Amazon Parties, as defined in Section 11.4 below.&quot;<p>Practically the contract is atrocious for the submission party. I am not familiar with the field so maybe this is standard. If it is, I highly suggest people people stay away. TL;DR: This is not legal advice and I am not licensed to practice law, but if I am reading this right, accepting this agreement is not beneficial to you to submit.<p>Maybe Amazon is going to play nice and offer you enough money to make it worth it. However, you have little rights or leverage once you submit anything.

Why was this submitted today? This program at Amazon is 7+ years old, and nothing about it has changed recently as far as I can tell.

The idea of having my script tied to my buying history is funny

All these people here keep on saying how well Amazon protects itself legally.<p>What I don&#x27;t see anyone saying is that the fact that if Amazon were to rip someone off, their reputation would be tarnished.<p>I think what they&#x27;re doing is actually in genius but I don&#x27;t think they&#x27;re going to rip anyone off because bye being able to crowdsource ideas for scripts will help them get the best of both worlds:innovation and relevancy.<p>They got to stay ahead of their competition and get inspired by writers.<p>Do not get me wrong they may screw people over but like Bank of America was warned about its debit card scandal, the other side of the sword can be bad and the last thing Amazon needs is thousands of riders complaining to the Department of Justice or any organization that involves fraud.
