Displeased with KONAMI and KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS by actions taken related to the METAL GEAR SOLID main theme (and motif) back in 2006 to this day.
As we all know in some interview Hideo Kojima had a interview with some guys from a Russian Magazine about a piece of music that sounded very similar to the MGS theme, but happens that the melodie was composed in 1977 by a very famous composer called Georgy Vasilyevich Sviridov.
Then after that a censorship campaign came banning the theme and the old trailer that included it, many tracks from MGS portable ops were removed and re-arranged and totally omitted in MGS4: Guns Of The Patriots and Nintendo's smash hit game Super Smash Brothers Brawl.
Because Konami had legal issues with Russian Composers
Curiously this controversy started 9 years after the main theme was exposed to the world (E3 1996) and the game was released in 1998, but before that it was publicized on every magazine tv game show and internet and even on a demo disc and no one said anything, even Sviridov was alive during all this time and someone close to him must have hear the game's main theme because it was to heavily used in it's publicity.
And not to talk about the sequels (MGS2,MGS3 and MPO) the motif was used in trailers and ingame's cinematics until was banned from MPO and MGS4 in 2006 due a controversy
WE CAN'T DENY THE FACT THAT THE THEME RESAMBLES A LOT TO SVIRIDOV'S SNOW STORM AND THAT HIS WORK IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE MUSIC FROM THE METAL GEAR SOLID
Because this game's main theme and motif is one of the most beloved themes in gaming story in pair with the Zelda, Mario and many other it's irrefutable that all this melodies are part of our lives and we can't accept the idea that they can vanish from one day to another.
So this is a call for respect and common sense and I hope we can get into a satisfactory conclusion.
May God Help Us.
