Korean pop singer Ivy seems to be in a bit of trouble after a South Korean court recently ruled that her latest music video, Temptation of Sonata, was in violation of copyright laws. Apparently the video ripped off a scene from Final Fantasy: Advent Children, and we’re not talking about silly similarities, the two scenes look identical. See for yourselves:
Below is a video from a Korean gaming site which mixes both videos into one, you will mix them up, I assure you.
The courts ordered the immediate suspension of the video from TV. Although Ivy’s fans are angry at the court’s resolution I dont blame Square Enix for suing, the whole thing is a complete rip-off; hell if Beethoven where alive he’d be suing as well!

Okay yeah, that’s a pretty obvious legal infraction. But the music video *is* well done, and it’s a cute song in its own right. Too bad the director/choreographer group for the video didn’t pursue the right channels. :P
I actually think its a little bland and americanized. I dont know, I expect my Asian pop to be that which american pop isnt, not a copy.
