There is a bit of a scandal brewing. Seems this music video has been [tag]banned[/tag] from Korean television after blatantly ripping off Final Fantasy: Advent Children. It’s shot for shot identical, which is pretty impressive since the original was done in CGI, but extremely shady and intellectually dishonest. This is beyond “imitation”. This is straight [tag]theft[/tag], and it’s barely worth emulating from the start. At least they ripped off the best part of the otherwise unwatchable film.
I don’t care about [tag]Final Fantasy: Advent Children[/tag] or anything involving the “Final Fantasy 7″ cast of characters. I find the whole series fairly over rated and 1o years past cool. The game was fairly groundbreaking for it’s time, but people need to move on.
I also don’t voluntarily listen to [tag]K-pop[/tag] all that often either. It still surprises me when Korean artists blatantly rip off people and expect to get away with it simply because in the past Korean music had less international exposure. With the Internet breaking down borders, it simply doesn’t work that way anymore.
