Tsk, tsk Wachowski Bros -- It Wasn't Even Your Story!

– Silly Stuff –

According to the reports I shouldn't be surprised that I hadn't heard of this before. Huh.

Seems last year black, sci-fi author Sophia Stewart won a large copyright infringement settlement in a suit against the likes of the Wachowski brothers, Joel Silver, Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox, James Cameron, and more.

The gist of the case is this: Stewart penned both the Matrix and Terminator scripts but received no credit, compensation, or even notice that her work was being used. I won't give you all the sordid details here since the links below offer plenty of info.

(She should sue the Wachowski's for totally screwing the last two films!)
