  2. HAHAHA, OH WOW!

    That's the most blatant case of copying I've seen in a long time. The only problem I can see is that what he's copying is an idea and ideas aren't easy to copyright.

    Still, I know nothing about the law; hopefully someone else will know whether or not this cunt can be sued.

  9. Try contacting his publisher with evidence of plagirism. They should hopefully drop him and at least temporarily keep him from profiting any more.

    I know next to nothing about the Persona series so I'd like to know how this is plagiarism.

    OK, I can see the similarities between Persona and this book. However, I've heard other similar plots before and I doubt that Persona was the first to use it.

  17. Under Trivia Section of its wikipedia page:

    "Parallels can be drawn between 'The Blue Hour' from the Midnighters Trilogy and 'The Dark Hour' in the Atlus game Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3. The Dark Hour is also a hidden hour that occurs between midnight and 12:01 A.M."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnighters_Trilogy

    It seems a guy in Wikipedia knew it all along.

    EDIT:

    WTF! I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND A THING IN THE YOUTUBE LINKS, IS PERSONA THAT WEIRD?

  18. but probably you should read it first if it's really the same
    the descriptions are similar but maybe the plot is totally different

  20. I emailed the Plagiarizer and asked:
    "The Midnighters is just like Persona 3. Why is that?"
    I wonder if I'll get a response.
