Bob realizes that he was caught into some type of trap or blackmail. Unfortunately, he has signed a contract. Bob goes to Alice, who tricked him and demands what the problem is. Alice points out all of the obvious not obvious statements in the contract, which leads Bob to rip up the contract in Alice's face. Alice's not too mad about it, since she made tons of copies. If used for blackmail or media release, this can be used in by a significantly smart character to avert the Genre Blind response to Have You Told Anyone Else?. In pre-digital media involving blackmail photos, expect the blackmailer to say something like "I have the negatives." When this happens with a character, see Expendable Clone. Contrast No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup. Compare Can't Stop The Signal. |

In the Sherlock episode "A Scandal in Belgravia", Irene Adler tells the CIA agents that she has hidden copies of all the secret information she extracted from her marks. Neither they nor Sherlock believe her because they think that a unique set of information would be more valuable to sell. It doesn't occur to any of them that the CIA agents are, by attempting to steal the apparently unique information at gunpoint, demonstrating the reason that this is a trope. | |

In Hustle, episode 6 of season 6 involves the crew being blackmailed by MI 5 into robbing a bank. Mickey secures collateral against MI 5 in the form of a compromising video of him and an MI 5 agent discussing the robbery and having sex. When he shows the video to the MI 5 team, he and Ash throw tons of minidiscs at the MI 5 agents, warning them they have too many copies of the video for MI 5 to risk retaliating. | |

Roman Empire. When Caligula takes power, he's presented with scrolls that the previous emperor kept on members of the Roman senate as blackmail material, including a list of those who voted against Caligula's family at the Treason Trials. Caligula makes a public show of burning these scrolls as a sign of reconciliation, but he later reinstates the Treason Trials and reveals that he made copies of the scrolls before burning them. | |

One of the greatest moments in the entire run of The X-Files came courtesy of this trope. The Cigarette Smoking Man was trying to recover a digital tape of stolen Top Secret computer files about aliens, and threatened to kill Mulder and Scully if Assistant Director Skinner didn't turn over the tape. Skinner did so... and then revealed that twenty Navajo men had memorized the contents of the tape, and would give that information to the news media if anything happened to Mulder or Scully. | |

Hunter (1984). In "The Hot Grounder", a private investigator blackmails the police commissioner for photographs of a homosexual affair, then the latter asks if the blackmailer made copies. The PI just smirks and says that if his friends call with another demand, he'll know they made copies. Unsurprisingly the commissioner decides to take the chance of shooting him on the spot, in the belief the PI is working alone, but Hunter and McCall interrupts before they can finish each other off. A high-ranking police officer confiscates a tape which could compromise an important political figure, asking if Devane had any copies. Devane relates afterwards, "I didn't... so I made one." |

Checkered Ninja, Aske's Jerkass step-brother Sune attempts to blackmail him into writing a book report he has due on all three volumes of The Lord of the Rings, by stealing his notebook which contains a love poem about the local Head-Turning Beauty Jessica and threatening to publicize it. Aske (with help from the titular protagonist) tricks Sune into handing him the notebook back in exchange for a fake book report that appears to be normal on the surface but is a bit more "creative" on closer examination (such as having a passage where Gandalf pees in Gollum's mouth and kills a group of Orks by barfing on them). Aske thinks he is home free, but Sune spitefully and gleefully threatens to take revenge for the fake book report by revealing that he has prepared for this eventuality and has made a copy of the poem. | |

In one of the episodes of The Drew Carey Show leading to the wedding between Mimi, Drew's arch enemy, and his brother, Steve, she has Drew arrested for attempted murder after nearly running her over. Drew was trying shoo a bee that got into his car but she didn't believe or care, she just wanted him in prison. As it looks like Drew will be held for attempted murder, Steve comes in and reads Drew's wedding toast blasting Mimi, but it ends with Drew stating that he's willing to put aside his personal feelings if she makes Steve happy, so Mimi decides to drop the charges. When Steve and Drew are alone, Steve confesses to writing the speech, and promises not to tell anyone if Drew agrees to read it at the reception; before Drew has a chance to dispose of it, Steve says that it's not the only copy he has. | |

When The Dragon asks how he knew to look in the first place, the executive reveals that he's been taking exactly the same precautions against his smarter Dragon betraying him. | |

Matt Murdock points out it would make more sense to kill Karen, unless they knew she had evidence stashed away and were trying to pressure her into giving it up. Karen denies it, but sneaks out later to retrieve a thumb drive holding a copy. | |

He uses some of the money he made to buy Dewey an awesome toy, for the sake of smashing it in front of his face. At the next lesson, Dewey records Reese dancing with the old ladies, and back home as Reese taunts him over his smashed toy, he sees footage of himself dancing, and in one instant being fondled by an old lady. As Reese rushes to eject the videotape and destroy it, Dewey tells him he's made other copies, and "good luck on your assembly tomorrow." | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Snowball Effect", SpongeBob and Patrick were having a snowball fight and Squidward, having nothing better to do, wanted to watch. But as soon as he did, they signed a peace treaty. Squidward tore it up... In "Employee of the Month", there is a variant of this trope. SpongeBob destroys Squidward's alarm clock because he doesn't want him to get up for work. Then Squidward opens a closet door to reveal it is full of spare alarm clocks for some reason. |

Tragically averted in Misery. After Annie Wilkes reads the final novel of the Misery series, "Misery's Child", she leaves a seriously injured Paul Sheldon, author of the Misery series and who crashed near Annie's isolated home in rural Colorado after driving drunk, locked in a bedroom for two days in a fit of rage. When she gets back, she asks him to write a new book where Misery is brought back to life, but before that, he needs to burn his new manuscript, a novel about teenage Puerto-rican car thief in New York City. Paul refuses, but when she warns that she'll deprive him of food and the (addictive) pain medication she's been giving him, he relents, and spends the next several chapters regretting not making extra copies before leaving on his cross country trip. | |

Frank Drebin in Police Squad! does a Genre Savvy twist on this. In one case he has only a photostat (copy) of a piece of evidence, and the copy isn't admissible. So he instead cons the Big Bad by freely offering him the photostat as proof that he does actually have the evidence. | |

Tyler denies it, then 'accidentally' glances at a pile of tapes on his desk (in truth, he's only just found the evidence and hasn't had time to copy it). The killer moves to collect the tapes, giving Tyler a chance to escape. | |

Happens in I Love Lucy when Lucy tears up a paper saying that she would agree not to overspend, Ricky then pulls out a copy saying, "I made a copy." In another episode, Ricky and the Mertzes burn the novel Lucy wrote starring insulting caricatures of all them. Lucy laments, "If I'd known the type of people I was dealing with, I'd have made a carbon copy"... before smiling and saying smugly, "It just so happens, I do know the type of people that I'm dealing with." She then proceeds to collect the three other copies hidden in various places around the room. |

In the Babylon 5 episode "Rising Star," Captain Sheridan is forced to resign his commission in exchange for amnesty for himself and his people for their role in Babylon 5's rebellion against President Clark. This turns out to have been a Batman Gambit on his part, since he's now president of the new Interstellar Alliance, and so would have had to resign from EarthForce anyway to take up his new post. When he finds out, General Foote demands the agreement of amnesty back, only to learn that it's "someplace safe," but the reporters outside all have copies. | |
