So, I supposed anyone who posts a sign board in public is ripping of the first person who ever posted a sign board in public. Intellectual property rights do not include a generic idea. The idea to stage an event in a public train station and use that idea to capture attention is not a copyrighted idea, now could it be copyrighted. It's just too generic, unspecific. And if you think an ad agency is going to credit a non-profit improv group for inspiring them, you just don't get it. A blatant rip off?

Too bad it's a blatant rip off of Improv Everwhere's Grand Central Station Performance 2008. http://improveverywhere.com/2008/01/31/frozen-grand-central/ Yes, I realize that these people are dancing and the Improv Everywhere performers are still--but the overall conceptual framework, which I say is "take over a train station with a performative activity to interrupt the hum- drum banality and give passersby a moment of magic and delight" is the same. Saatchi and Saatchi took the idea, without giving cred. It’s a lovely idea and a sweet, fun video. Too bad it’s a blatant rip off of Improv Everwhere’s Grand Central Station Performance 2008.
