copyright infringement suit dismissed
UPI (May 23rd 2008): "U.S.
District Court Judge Rya W. Zobel has dismissed the claim of a Massachusetts company
that accused singer John Lennon's widow of copyright infringement. The company,
World Wide Video, insists it owns the rights to hours of reportedly revealing
footage of Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono filmed at their British estate in 1970,
The Boston Globe said. People who say they have seen the tapes told the newspaper
they show Lennon smoking marijuana, talking about how he kicked a heroin habit
and stating he would like to put LSD in U.S. President Richard Nixon's tea. Zobel
also ruled this week that Ono may proceed with a counterclaim against the video
company, in which she maintains she is the rightful owner of the tapes."
