So. I don't know how many of you follow Serbian music (does anyone? I've never even heard of it), but a band called Tropico Band completely ripped off SHINee's 1000 Years music video. The concept, the costumes, the settings, everything is a blatant, direct copy of SHINee's music video. Now, I can't speak Serbian, but there is absolutely no mention of SHINee, SM Ent, or EMI Music-Japan ANYWHERE on the entire music video. This means that the Serbian company has not credited it, and is therefore committing COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT ON OUR BABIES.

It's the exact same music video, with different (some of it) scenery and different actors. If you are as mad as I am about this, please considering spreading the word through tumblr or AFF or wherever! We need to make SM or EMI aware of this! If you want, since the music video is comments pending approval only, you can drop a comment on Tropico Band's official Facebook page here:

Let them know that we SHAWOLS will NOT stand for this! No one rips off our SHINee and gets away with it! 

EDIT: So the Tropico Band Facebook page administrators keep removing my comments (all are polite and respectful) and they are removing other SHAWOL comments as well. Keep commenting and let them know we won't stand for this!
