If the customer has been paying you for this many years and if you need/value that business, then I'll break with the pack and say that yeah, maybe you should do something about it (sounds like you have a fairly reasonable plan to compensate them so you don't take a huge hit now).

If video only constitutes a little of what they buy and maybe they weren't planning to use it right away I can see why they might have stowed it away and not have time to catch it. There's really no excuse for selling someone video with copyrighted music in it, though. Is there?

I guess only you and the customer really know the details of the circumstances to make a decision.
I agree about the copywritten music and poor lighting but if they were unhappy and they kept ordering its really not his problem its theirs.They knew the weakness and kept coming back for more. To now say we arent going to pay a 7,000 invoice is weak,you buy something its your job to make sure its acceptable then and there not his.
