PAYDAY: Sophia Stewart cashes in on $2.5BN Sci-Fi Franchise #Overdue

And here's your money shot, 11 years in the making:

"(Sophia) Stewart, a New Yorker who has resided in Salt Lake City for the past five years, will recover damages from the films, The Matrix I, II and III, as well as The Terminator and its sequels.
She will soon receive one of the biggest payoffs in the history of Hollywood, as the gross receipts of both films and their sequels total over 2.5 billion dollars. Stewart filed her case in 1999, after viewing the Matrix, which she felt had been based on her manuscript, ‘The Third Eye,’ copyrighted in 1981. In the mid-eighties Stewart had submitted her manuscript to an ad placed by the Wachowski Brothers, requesting new sci-fi works."

The moral here is two-fold: Copyright your ish. Don't take other people's ish unless you plan on paying them. Read the full story here. THANKS, KHALIL!
