ABS-CBN's "E-Boy"--a rip-off of Hollywood's "Bicentennial Man" and "A.I."?

ABS-CBN should really be careful, lest Zemeckis or Spielberg comes knocking at their doorstep.

In this day and age, IP issues is no laughing matter.

Boss, i felt the same way when i saw the trailer the first time..

Not another FAIL-copycat... seessh...originality is so rare with these stations nowadays. >.>

Let me clarify something here--I am in NO way, criticizing the plot/storyline of this series. For all I know, nindut diay, who knows diba? My point is, sometimes, people in the marketing community struggle SO HARD to come up with IDEAS THAT SELL, nga they tread the dangerous line of copyright and IP rights, JUST TO MAKE SURE nga maka ATTRACT ilang producto. Okay, let's say maayo diay ang story nianing teleserye...and naganahan na magtan-aw ang mga tawo...bibo na unta, and then suddenly...TOINK...naay "Cease and desist Order" from Hollywood due to copyright issues...so papano yan ngayon? This is WHY ideas should be cooked properly--just because "nindut" or "will sell" doesn't guarantee success, sayang nuon if nindot dyud unya naudlot ang kaugmaon kay wala nag follow sa LAW.

Sometimes they like to pirate movies having same stories, crappy concepts, nothing new.

mura man sag ktong sa panday2 ug clash of the titans....pru people involved in this new e-boy,knows the laws governing in making this teleserye,coz if not,di cguro nla padyunon,na in the end or even in the middle sa pagpasalida ma stop,kay naay ni reklamo.let's just hope mkabantay cla ani.

[slakker]

it's easier to copy than to come up with something fresh and original...

[makie]

Is there an existing body that reviews these shows? MTRCB? I really believe there is. Siguro other than ABS-CBN, ang angay lutoon pud ani is the reviewing body. Di lalim if Spielberg ilang makabangga ani.

sunod guro sila sa style sa bollywood.

mao naman trending ron sa Pinoy movies ug teleserye.
more or less it's a copy of something. Lisod na ang fresh ideas kay risky investment. And piracy kills.

Even sa US, mas common na ang part 2 to the part X kay ang reklamo kasagaran limited ra to "mas nindut ang part X vs part Y".
