This news article in The Korea Times is a welcome sign for anyone who lives in South Korea. I don't know the official law, but from pure observation, it would seem to me that no copyright or plagiarism laws exist within the country.
Maybe going outside the country to steal their music is where they made a mistake. G-Dragon, of Big Bang, the group Big Bang and the group 2NE1 are facing possible plagiarism charges from Sony ATV Music Publishing because their songs sound ALMOST EXACTLY like the versions they allegedly ripped off.
Those of us living in Korea don't need this story to confirm our beliefs. We can tell from personal observation that nearly all music, TV shows, movies and anything else are just stolen ideas with a small (sometimes not at all) difference.
Sony executives have music experts analyzing the songs. It doesn't take an expert to notice how similar they are. Possible justice? We'll see.
