This is worse than the Writer X debacle they pointed out on Scriptnotes Episode 194 a while ago. I think it's brilliant point out your competitor's own words and screen shot from their website against them. I'm not a fan of Final Draft, but this is a bigger mistake than their appearance on Scriptnotes. You have reached this page because your copy of Final Draft is not authentic. Your files have been locked for safekeeping. Protect your scripts with an authentic copy of Final Draft 9. You can see the difference in the image Fade In tweeted and what is linked to on Final Draft's webpage. Until they reassure us that there is no malicious code hiding in Final Draft 9, I'm going to recommend that screenwriters use other software for important work.ĮDIT: Final Draft has changed the images. I don't know if Final Draft is really messing with user data files, or if it's just marketing BS to scare the pirates into buying a legit copy. If the capability exists, it can be triggered by accident by a bug, or maliciously by a hack. It disturbs me to think that they may have built in a hidden trap that could accidentally confiscate my work files. Those of you who have read my posts in the past know I'm a paying Final Draft user. Has anyone here been subjected to this? Did FD actually make your FD files unusable? Did they lock/hide/encrypt them so you couldn't open them with another app? On Twitter, Final Draft said that this screen is only shown to people who pirate their software. Recently, Final Draft competitor FadeIn posted this link to the Final Draft store, which says that the user's files have been "locked for safekeeping" until they pay final Draft for a legit copy of the software.
