I don't think that it is clear that she submitted anything or they stole anything... yet.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Yes, peoples ideas, stories and scripts are stolen all the time... On the flip side of this, people who have made a lot of money on their films are often accused of stealing when this didn't...
At this point, all we have is a statement from a woman who has made some claims. Are they valid claims? I all for, "Let's wait and see."
By the way, I have the business card of a gentleman who claims to be the VP of Time Warner... who has the rights to re-make The Wizard of Oz and will be doing so with Steven... you know, Speilberg. He dropped by my suite at the American Film Market wanted to see if I was interested in some of his other projects... There are a lot of wackos in this industry and it is with good reason that people take these claims with a large grain of salt.
