Makers of Ivy’s Plagiarized Music Video Indicted



The makers of pop singer Ivy’s music video ``Seduction Sonata’’ have been prosecuted for illegally distributing the video, accused of plagiarizing the Japanese video game ``Final Fantasy 7.’’ Prosecutors have indicted without physical detention Lee, director of Ivy’s agency Fantom Entertainment, and Hwang, the producer of the music video.

The music video for ``Seduction Sonata’’ features Ivy as a warrior, fighting against evil to protect a child. The problem arises from the fact that the video’s plotline and outfits worn by the 24-year-old are similar to those of ``Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children.’’ Also, the video clip was distributed on the Internet without consent from the Japanese franchise.

Square Enix said that all parts of the video, except for the dance routine scenes, are identical to the video game. The company filed a request to stop the distribution of the video in March, and prosecutors ruled the video a plagiarization of ``Final Fantasy 7’’ in April.

its way too obvious to even begin with

 

so obvious it's from advent children...

 

gosh wat were they thinking when they made this??????it isnt even like plagerizing but like changing a few things....its EXACTLY the same as ff7 ac......

 

if they copy the outfit and the gloony cathedral feel still bearable... even the fighting moves? Come on lar!

 

they were probably thinking just "hmm the japanese are across the sea, maybe we can rip off of them without them noticing."

 

Wow, I can't believe they thought they could get away with making something like this without the consent of square enix

 

Smart move. Free publicity with the lawsuit.
