I think the rip-off brand even has the same red and white quilted look on the interior walls.

And to think that Starbucks actually lost its lawsuit. Globalization, in Korea, means, "We can steal what we want, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it."

There was some article about this in the KT today. Sort of "okay, that kind of wholesale rip off might not be allowed in Korea anymore..." I guess Starbucks and Starpreya settle out of court. The final line in the KT article went something along the lines of "companies should be creative, not just copy".

Yeah think?
