For this to hit the news the same week the RIAA (on behalf of Sony among others) goes gonzo with their enforcment of music swappers is irony at it's best.

White Wolf is claiming that 'Underworld' is directly ripping off 'Love of Monsters' which takes place in their RPG setting. I have to admit it sure is similar.

I am sure it's all a coincidence.

EDIT: Somewhat in defense of Sony it's very possible that noone that worked for the corporation had any idea that the story was ripped off. It's not a big stretch to think that they don't sit around playing fantasy punk role play games. But whoever wrote and pitched the story obviously knew it quite well. But Sony has a responsibility to check this stuff out thouroughly and they obviously dropped the ball.
