Statutory Tape

A consortium of Beatles-stuff collectors called World Wide Video wants to use nine hours of raw black-and-white footage of John Lennon and Yoko Ono – shot in 1970, just prior to the moptops' breakup – smoking pot, writing songs, and discussing putting LSD in Nixon's tea, to make a two-hour feature called 3 Days in the Life. But the footage has become embroiled in a copyright dispute between World Wide, who purchased the tapes for more than $1 million, and the widow Ono, who has physical possession of them. (Reuters)
