30% of Korean film posters may be ripping off from foreign film posters and album covers

The Chosun Ilbo reports that something like 30% of Korean film posters may be ripping off from foreign film posters and album covers.

Officials who work in the poster business say the key problem is that when making posters, designers often reference foreign works and use foreign works to show their design concepts to advertisers, who in turn become fixated on the foreign posters. This is especially the case recently, with interest in film marketing increasing dramatically, although the plagiarism is worse when production costs are lower.
