Re: [The Matrix] Mother of the Matrix

I agree with you, this sure wouldnt be the first
time a script was taken from someone elses work. It
happens quite a bit and its rarely made in to a big
deal afterwards. I really dont know if their is any
validity to her claim, but I really wouldnt be
surprised either way. I would like to see this story
from AP or Reuters or someone though.
