Pekka Hänninen (qv) made a complaint against the  studio behind the film. He claimed that the studio had changed the  script so much that it was no longer the film that he had written.  In spring 2006 the district court ruled in favour of the defendant  as it considered it premature to make ruling based on unfinished  film. In late January 2007 Helsinki Court of Appeal decided the case  and overturned the previous verdict, thus further distribution of  this film will be halted and Lasihelmifilmi has to pay Hänninen EUR  10 000 + interest as copyright compensation. Also the company is  obliged to pay over EUR 22 000 of legal and other fees.
