Square Enix win court battle, South Korea
 In 2007, a Korean company called Fantom started distributing a music video (Sonata of Temptation) by K-Pop star IVY that contained an unauthorized live-action scene-for-scene adaptation of a scene from Advent Children. Square Enix filed an injunction and the Seoul Central District Court ordered Fantom to cease distribution and sales of the video in April, 2007. In March of the following year, it then decided that Fantom should pay approximately $250,000 in damages to Square Enix. Fantom appealed the decision and the case was taken to the Seoul High Court. However, Square Enix were the victors again, and the damages needing to be paid were increased to approximately $325,000.

Wow....Enix actually sued for someone using scenes from AC? That's....pretty well pathetic. If nothing, it's more of an advertisement.

No... it was an adaptation of it. But I guess since people are able to recognize it money was in order.
