Sophia Stewart, former naif, current anomalist, has managed to win millions of dollars in a court settlement against the famous Wachowski Brothers—they of Matrix I, II & III fame. Stewart, the court has decided, originated the Matrix (and Terminator) story ideas. The courts seem to have decided that both the Wachowskis and several Warner Bros. execs grabbed Stewart's ideas and ran with them, unfortunately without compensating Stewart in any way.

I wonder if any of these guys have stood in line behind former Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) president Jack Valenti as he repeatedly harrangued the masses (and the industry) over the past ten years about pirated movies, black market movies, movie copyright violations, BitTorrent, Napster, etc., etc., ad nauseam? Well Jack, apparently it's once again well proven that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Tsk, tsk. More . . .
