    Nothing big will happen out of this. Check this out:

    "Honda Wins Hongda Suit as China Cracks Down on Piracy (Update5)
    By Kae Inoue - December 24, 2004 03:55 EST

    Dec. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Honda Motor Co., the world's biggest maker of motorcycles, won a court ruling stopping a Chinese company from selling Hongda brand motorbikes, adding to signs China is getting tougher on intellectual property theft.

    A Beijing court told Chongqing Lifan Industry Group Co. to pay Honda 1.47 million yuan ($177,600) in damages and cease sales or exports of Hongda motorcycles, Honda spokesman Masaya Nagai said today. Gao Zhihai, a spokesman at No. 2 Intermediate People's Court of Beijing, said Lifan lost the suit yesterday."

    We are talking about the World's biggest maker of motorcycles and they got less than US$ 200k out of it.

    The rip off part of the video compared to the lich king is what is done in the video itself. Not what the character is but what its based off of and doing.

    China has soo much money that they need too trow it somewhere.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19049254

    As growth slows, China's huge investment in infrastructure is looking ever harder to sustain, leaving a string of ambitious projects - towns, shopping malls and even a theme park - empty and forlorn.
    Don't sweat the details!!!

    I dont see it. How is the lich king a ripoff of sauron?

    Free advertisement in china for blizzard is what i see, I bet they're thrilled. The pictures of the park remind me of tomorrowland. It looks like it'd be a fun place to visit.

    Honestly i would not go to that theme park if you payed me. Well maybe for a decent amount of money i'd walk in, just wouldn't walk under/near rides incase they collapse. To get me to actually go on a ride would cost a large sum of money and i'd probably have to be pretty damn drunk to consent to it.

    Don't get me wrong blizzard barrowed things from D&D and forgotten realms like a lot of other fantasy games. But this is a clear rip off of Silvermoon and Silvermoon Lore.

    From what was said in the video its only about 30$ to go to it and thats a hell of a lot cheaper then the Six flags one I use to have here that was 50$ lol.

    As much as Blizzard has ripped off their entire culture into charactures, and any other intellectual idea out of hollywood for the last 30 years, i say payback is well deserved.

    Haha. I wonder if Blizzard trademarked Kael'thas.

    Then again, it's China.

    But please do it in another thread. This thread is about WOW/Blizzard and the china theme park lets keep it that way please. Don't want this thread derailed and closed cause of it.

    But to add about that pic they do not look the same to me or even a rip off lich kings armor is a lot different.

    Or Blizzard will take it to court and try to win it and make a profit off it. But once again if its not to china's liking the above may still happen.
    China doesn't play fair, they really don't care about international IP rights.
    How do you want to take them to court? How can you force them when they just choose to ignore you?

    This video pretty much sums up the copyright laws in China. That aside, I didn't really see any WoW advertisement, just things that look "vaguely" similar. A lot of mmorpgs now-a-days look "vaguely" similar, doesn't mean its automatically copyright infringement.
