Ono sues for use of Lennon song
From Bloomberg News
Yoko Ono sued the producers of TV personality Ben Stein’s documentary that supports teaching the theory of “intelligent design” to children, claiming the film uses John Lennon’s song “Imagine” without permission.
Premise Media Corp. and Rampant Films didn’t get a license to use the song in “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed,” according to the copyright-infringement suit that Ono, Lennon’s widow, filed in New York this week.
E-mail messages to Premise Media and Rampant weren’t immediately returned.
