Ugh, I've never been good with the names. I just know if I've heard them before. |

I don't remember Tifa bursting out into song and dancing. Oh...wait.
Nor do I remember Tifa in Advent Childern spoiler[winning that fight.] Otherwise yeah it looks the same. But is it really something to sue over when it seems like they're parsing you art? |

I think the song is itself takes from the public domain... It's hard to plagiarize music that old. If you could, dear old Pachelbel's estate would be making millions to this day.

I was wondering if Square-Enix helped make this video or not a long time ago, but I guess I have my answer now.
It makes sense why they sued them, they didn't ask permission to use the scene-for-scene remake in the video, and that is copyright infringement. I remember thinking that this video was eventually going to get caught if Squeenix never gave them permission. Anyway, this makes perfect sense to me. If she's making money off of it, ofcourse they're going to sue. Fans usually don't make a whole lot of money from making fan videos or doujinshi, stuff like that, so normally companies don't attack just the average human population for something like that. However, this Korean singer seems to be fairly popular, so it was bound to happen. |

there's a difference between a regular fan video that makes no profit and a video like this which is used for commercial purposes. come on guys it was a direct ripoff. Whatever good intentions they had they should have asked Square Enix first before they pulled this

The Music Video isn't a parody even in it's loosest sense:

They are doing this because they are Korean. Remember the Japanese don't like the Koreans. If Gackt or some American artist did this they would be signing their praises.

Oh boy, this is going to stoke the Japanese/Korean online flames.
Too bad the video directors had to go with that. It's a pretty good song as K-pop goes too. Though when you hear it thousands of times on the radio and played in stores it starts getting kind of annoying. EDIT:
Wow, what did I just say? I've learned enough to stay out of these things. When the nationalism starts rational thought goes out the window. |

agreed, how did free fansubs or in a broad sense amv if copyrighted music is used become a key pt in defending this. the look of the characters are similar, the background is similar and the the key action pts like tifa being thrown the the wall and bouncing back and being thrown to the flowers not considered plagiarizing. it may not have mattered over small amounts of money but a big star like ivy and crew plagiarizing this means square enix is not making any money over this and you would do the same too if someone used your work to profit off of. |

I'm not surprised. It's not the first time that plagiarism has happened in the Asian music industry.
Für Elise is a completely separate piece. It was Moonlight Sonata that you were thinking of. |

Let's not sink in to baseless accusations of xenophobia or racism or nationalism or whatever other prejudices might get tossed around here. Feel free to back up the claim with some statistics or information that may support your claims or even experiences or trends you've noticed to at least give something more to discuss than baseless finger pointing that says little more than "they're mean". |

Agreed with the comment against baseless xenophobia. Advent Children was a very popular movie in Korea, just as Gemul (The Host) is popular in Japan at the moment.
I first heard this song on the public bus, and actually liked it a fair amount. When I saw the video, I was wondering how long it would take for a lawsuit. It's pretty obvious that SquareEnix would never give permission to include THAT much in a song that wasn't connected to the movie itself. |

Well worth the 16k they lost in the lawsuit. Great video.

The record company's actually really lucky, because SQ'ENIX could've hung the execs out to dry by demanding millions in compensation.
