Hollywood, CA.
News releases concerning Vandor Music Group?s signing of two new production agencies and labels to their current 400-plus roster have ignited a media firestorm over a dispute of ownership of the original script of the film ?Matrix? and it?s subsequent releases.
On April 24, 2003, Vandor affiliate Sophia Stewart, Salt Lake City, UT, filed a federal lawsuit in the United States District Court of California against Hollywood defendants Andy and Larry Wachowski, Joel Silver and Warner Brothers alleging copyright infringement of the movie "Matrix", all subsequent releases, and racketeering.
During an FBI investigation, key pieces of evidence were found establishing Sophia Stewart as writer/author of ?Matrix?. Credible witnesses employed at Warner Brothers have come forward claiming company executives and lawyers had full knowledge the work in question did not belong to the Wachowski brothers. Witnesses also stated the original work of Stewart had been seen, and often used, during preparation of the motion picture.
Stewart submitted her original script through so-called ?recommended? channels several years prior to the Wachowski brother?s claim to authorship. Revenues from the motion pictures and merchandising are in the hundreds of millions of dollars and growing.
Stewart?s entertainment company ?All Eyez on Me, Inc.? and Pop Silk Records have been contracted with Vandor Motion Pictures, Phonorecords and Music Publishing Group (vmgworldwide.com) as a production facility offering world wide promotion, licensing and distribution for the label since January 1st, 2003.
Vandor Motion Pictures, Phonorecords and Music Publishing Group, founded in 1958, has built a 45-Year reputation on independent product, artists, labels, publishers and producers. The company site - vmgworldwide.com - has been on-line for seven years and logged well over 10,000,000 hits and site downloads making it the number one source of accurate recorded music industry information in the world.

 
Off Topic, but TheNerdGuy's sig needs a comment.

I always thought having a Mac was like being in the Coast Guard. It's cute that you pretend you're a branch of the military, but nobody really takes you seriously.

Funny, I didn't know that the number of hits made you an accurate source of information. I'm pretty sure that cddb.org and riaa.org have gotten more hits as well.

Very odd that a search of CNN.com turns up 0 hits six months after this suit was supposedly filed.

I wonder if this is/was a pump-and-dump scam to inflate the "Vandor Music Group" stock price and sell it to suckers expecting a big settlement from Warner Brothers?
 
What a cheesy way to create a hype over Matrix. I'm sure that it's a mere "coincidence" that this information came to light a week before Revolution release. Where was she when two previous installments were released?

There's a thought -- this could be some stupid "viral marketing" campaign to get people talking about the Matrix before the new movie.

The lack of any CNN stories (and in fact there are no Google results) for a 6-month-old lawsuit means it's probably a hoax or scam of some sort.
