A major entertainment agency and two of its producers have been fined for plagiarism.

The Seoul Central District Court ruled Friday that Fantom Entertainment Group must pay compensation of 10 million won for plagiarizing several scenes from the famous Japanese computer game ``Final Fantasy 7'' to produce a music video for K-pop star Ivy.

The company's two producers, in charge of producing the music album and video, were also fined six million won each.

``It is clear that about 80 percent of the game's contents, such as the story line, background and costume, had been reproduced, violating intellectual property rights,'' the presiding judge said.




Side by Side comparison

Can't get around that. "Well judge... it is purely coincidental."

If you check the side by side comparison its just amazing.

All in all they should have admitted this. In reality it did no harm and was very flattering to the makers of ff.

In fact they shouldnt have fined them but asked for a letter of apology.. something where they are made examples of.

Isnt imitation the sincerest form of flattery after all?

When i frist saw ivy mv i thought of Advent children. I thought ivy's mv probably made more people watch advent children since it's like free advertising.
