Yoko Ono and the film company World Wide Media are in a legal battle over who owns the rights to some undoubtedly priceless footage of John Lennon filmed in 1970. The nine hours of material are claimed to include Lennon smoking a joint, working on songs and describing his plans to put LSD in Richard Nixon's coffee. It was filmed by Anthony Cox, Ono's husband before Lennon, for a planned documentary. World Wide wants to use the footage for a film titled "Three Days In The Life." Despite the fact that World Wide bought the footage directly from Cox, Ono feels she owns the copyright because she'd previously bought the footage from "a Florida man." If you play that backwards, I'm pretty sure you hear the word "bullshit."
