Recycled plots
So, I was casually watching this and one episode seemed like a direct remake of that very bad movie untraceable ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0880578/ ). This thing copied that movie to the point of imitating the editing and camera work.
I watched another episode and then the human cop dude talks about falling in freezing water, and uses a quote directly hauled from the movie Titanic. (about how falling in freezing water feels like a thousand needles).
Can writers simply do this without giving credit?
