In March 2007 Fantom Entertainment released a music video for Korean singer IVY&#8217;s song &#8220;Temptation of Sonata.&#8221; Square Enix sued, and the lower Seoul Central District Court found that 80% of the video was copied from the storyline, setting, characters, costumes, and demeanors of the Advent Children movie. Fantom Entertainment was initially fined 10 million won ($10,900 USD), and Fathom CEO and the video&#8217;s director were given separate fines of 6 million won ($6,500 USD) each. The penalty totaled 300 million won ($244,000 USD) when the case was settled in March 2008. The Seoul High Court rejected an appeal, and raised Fathom&#8217;s fine to 400 million won ($326,000 USD) on July 3.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"450\" height=\"372\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/r6m01X8Qzkw&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/hollywoodreporter\/20090804005774\/en\" target=\"_blank\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not only has the Seoul High Court rejected an appeal from Korean music video producer Fantom Entertainment over a ruling that the company infringed upon the copyright of Square Enix&#8217;s Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children movie, the court has increased the fines levied against Fantom Entertainment for a second time.
