Those are screenplays for successful projects. Not some studio's slush pile. Those have value.

(A web site for script slush piles would be fun, and would raise few objections. There are a huge number of rejected scripts around LA. It used to be a joke to ask random people on Melrose Avenue "How's your screenplay coming?" About one in five had a screenplay. There's a minor minimum-wage industry in Hollywood writing two-page summaries of screenplays. They're called "one-pagers", but are usually two pages. An actress/model/waitress friend used to do that to make extra money. She'd receive a stack of scripts written by unknowns, and boil them down to two pages each. Someone at a higher pay grade would read the one-pagers. At the slush pile level, that's how much attention a script gets. Many wannabe scriptwriters would be glad to upload their script.)
