Perhaps you have heard of these two movie franchises....
I would be very surprised if you haven't heard of these two films. The Matrix & The Terminator. Both films and there sequels grossed receipts that total over 2.5 billion dollars. And Sophia Stewart just won a law suit that shows she was the original creator of these stories.
She won the copyright infringement case against Warner Brothers and will now receive the biggest payoff in the history of Hollywood. Witnesses and FBI investigators found that the studio and Wachowski Brothers schemed to dodge the copyright by removing 30 minutes of the film and having closed door discussions.
She filed her case in 1999 after seeing the film and realized that the story was based on her manuscript The Third Eye. (Copyright 1981) So it would appear justice has been had. Of course now I'm going to have to read the book so I can see for myself.
That was some expensive plagiarism.
