Ono sues over Imagine film clip
Yoko Ono is suing the makers of a documentary for using John Lennon’s song Imagine without permission.
The former Beatle’s widow and sons Sean and Julian have filed a legal action in Manhattan against the producers of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.
Ono said the film gave the impression she approved the song’s use, leading to accusations that she was “selling out”.
Premise Media, who made the documentary challenging Darwinian theories of evolution, said it was fair use.
The film is at number 10 in this week’s North American box office chart, taking $3m (£1.5m) in its first weekend. (more…)
