It actually happened a few times, at least in small pilfered bits. But there was one time when this guy submitted a feature was derived entirely from a piece of novel research I had done on Ha Say Fu Hung Gar, a special style that Lam Sifu knew. That was a groundbreaking piece - IKF reprinted it a few times, once in a book (and no, I didn't get any more for that - the freelance contracts said nothing about that and I wasn't in a position to sue or anything).
Actually, Lam Sifu's first Shaolin book was derived almost entirely from the videotape introductions that we developed together. His ex-wife and I had a severe break so she took my name off all that research. Sifu actually apologized to me about that once, but I had already learned not to be overly attached to my writing, and techically all that was written on the clock, so WLE owned it. I think the thing that annoys me about it is that there was a glaring error in my research back then and that was repeated mindlessly by the person who assembled the book.
But that was so long ago...
