Terminator was somewhat borrowed from "Soldier", an Episode of Outer Limits. I saw it too and found it boring as hell. I thought Terminator was very removed from the original story and couldn't really be considered any kind of copyright infringement. But then again, Harlen Ellison is a weird one and somewhat of a crybaby. He wrote a book about his experiences with the City on the Edge of Forever episode of Star Trek which I read a long time ago and from what I can remember about it, he just bitched and complained the whole way through.
