In a motion for dismissal filed Monday, Gawker Media said it only provided a link to an online location where the screenplay could be viewed, and as such did not provide a &quot;scoop&quot; because the document was already available. The &quot;Pulp Fiction&quot; director announced in January that he had scrapped plans to film &quot;The Hateful Eight&quot; as his next project because the screenplay had been leaked. It insisted it did not &quot;scoop plaintiff's right to first publication, as the script was online prior to Gawker's links,&quot; adding: &quot;Tarantino himself set in motion the circumstances by which the script circulated.&quot;</p><br clear="all"/>
