Not really. Hollywood has a long tradition of being inspired by true events and then fictionalizing them just enough to avoid paying the people whose true events inspired them. They did this to one-time Judas Priest singer Ripper Owens when they made the Mark Wahlberg film "Rock Star."

“Hollywood has a long tradition of being inspired by true events and then fictionalizing them just enough to avoid paying the people whose true events inspired them.”

In general, they’re under no obligation to pay people for telling a story based on them.
