Has author E.L James finally been rumbled and is guilty of plagiarism?

The similarities between '50 Shades' and the movie 'Secretary' (2002) are more than subtle.

Some fans made a trailer of 'Secretary' that was more in line with the new '50 Shades' trailers.

The boss in 'Secretary' is even called Me Grey!

'Secretary' stars Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader.

Naughty E.L James, copying a story!

I got a sense of de ja vu watching the trailer for 50 shades......more than a slight resemblance to the Secretary

I saw the trailer a while ago and thought I'd post it today.

Maybe the director is guilty of copying secretary.

From what I have seen of the book it was that badly written I can't imagine anyone recognising what it may have plagiarised

The books were a bad love story integrating a bad thriller,dotted with some bad bdsm that never happened because she was a good girl really. Fuck the love story,shoot the stalker and get your arse down to his red room and no fucking "I don't do this,I don't do that" contract

I got swept up with the 50 shades craze... And then 12 months later became a sub.

Reality is definitely better

They're both rubbish anyway, so does it really matter?

There is no such thing as originality according to most lit theorists and apparently only 7 basic plots. Plagiarism is notoriously difficult to prove legally.

I thought Nymphomaniac was very similar to The Secretary.
