Matrix Films Ripped Off From Obscure Writer?
  
Apparently so, according to this article, and a judge says she's owed damages.
The article also claims that elements of The Terminator films borrowed from her works-- although I don't see how anything in those movies isn't kinda obvious.  Not obvious as in "bad" or "trite," but "obvious" in the sense that, hey, time-travelling and robots and the like are common story-elements.
Man, I'd like me a piece of that judgment.
