So how does The Terminator fit into all this?
And if Warner Brothers' lawyers knew who originally worte the works knew referenced it during filming, it tells me such things must happen infrequently and somehow studios get away with it.
What the article doesn't detail is how the Wachowski Brothers defrauded her. Did they just sit on her work and figure that a "statute of limitations" had passed?
Personally, If it were me and I had finally won back all that money, I'd be too jaded to turn around and spend it all on media ventures. But the best of luck to her!
The commonality between Terminator and Matrix is a dystopic future when
machines created by man become too smart for us and turn on humanity.
It is done more frequently than most realize. One of the worse perps of this kind of purloin is The Walt Disney Company.
I don't know about this, but Harlan Ellison sued the studios over "Terminator," and you'll now notice that during the credits, there is an acknowledgement of HE's works.
I guess that both are similar in that we build a better machine, the machines take over, and start killing people.
