The Black Ripoff

I wrote a story premise and gave it a title in 2008 or so.

"The Phantom and the Voice on the Phone"

Next thing I know someone at Blumhouse, a horror movie company, Lifted from my title to use similarity plagiarism to lift from my title.

The Black Phone (was stolen from J.M.)

Similarity plagiarism means you steal certain elements from a write, but not all of it.

So fuck you Blumhouse, and subsidiary own Universal. You're paying me for this of course
