live in Egypt, many of you already know about that, I'm just telling the ones who don't know to understand the problem. Now the thing is yeterday when I was watching T.V, I saw a commercial about an air conditioner, the actors were supposed to be in a space ship, one of them was eating chocolate and singing, and I noticed that the background music was the beggining of the Metal Gear Solid 2:Sons Of Liberty theme, so suddenly a problem happened, then the guy who was eating all of a sudden took a remote for the A.C and used it to solve the problem, and here comes ome of the most stupid things I have ever seen, the background music continued as the guy kept using the A.C and they were clearly using it without permission from Konami, and they clearly took the advantage that almost nobody here knows about the game, and they were clearly using it for merchandise, I waited till the end, and they didn't mention anything about the copyrights, offcourse Konami don't watch Egyptian T.V, so they couldn't have known about it, so what I want to do is tell them, so can anyone tell me what should I do ?

Yes! That's why I'm angry.

Wrong. He is English, just lives in the US because he rocks at writing movie scores.

If there were no copyrights at the end of it then it must have been copied without permission.

That's exactly what I was talking about.

Yeah, if there's something fishy going on you should contact Konami.

It's not so much the scale of the theft but the principle.

And if it's not a big deal, then how come me, my brother and my only friend who plays mgs were provoked on seeing the commercial? You know, it's not just a commercial, it's a REALLY REALLY REALLY stupid one.

Once a Japanese RPG just IMITATED the font that was used to right the name of Onimusha 3, that game was banned.

Yes.
