Association of collectioners of The Beatles’ heritage from New England called World Wide Video brought legal action against John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono.
American collectioners are accusing Yoko of enroachment on the rights to the movie “3 Days In The Life” about Lennon.
This documentary was made by her ex-husband Anthony Cox in 1970 just a few weeks before The Beatles fell apart. It contains now historical pieces of those moments when Lennon is making songs “Remember” and “Mind Games”, plus his discussion with Yoko when he proposed to pour some LSD into the US president’s cup of tea (meaning Richard Nixon). A movie about which nothing was known is basically still unknown to the public.
In 2000 this association of collectioners has purchased a movie from Cox including copyright for one million dollars. Last year World Wide Video was planning to present it in one of the schools in Maine, but Yoko’s lawyers didn’t allow this to happen.
Eventually, World Wide Video is trying to sue her. Preliminary court hearings will start in Boston on April 30.
