Washington
(ANI):
John
Lennon's
wife
Yoko
Ono
will
soon
be
heading
to
court
to
prevent
a
video
company
from
airing
footage
of
the
late
Beatle
smoking
pot.
Owned
by
Massachusetts-based
World
Wide
Video,
the
nine-hour
clip
also
shows
Lennon
talking
about
putting
the
hallucinogenic
drug
LSD
in
former
U.S.
President
Richard
Nixon's
tea.
While
World
Wide
Video
claims
that
Ono
does
not
own
the
24
raw
tapes
and
the
company
is
suing
her
for
copyright
infringement,
the
Late
Beatle's
widow
currently
has
the
tapes
and
is
trying
to
ban
the
video
from
the
public
domain.
The
tapes
in
question
show
three
days
in
Lennon's
life
in
February
1970,
before
Beatles'
split.
"The
decision
that
should
be
made
in
the
case
is
who
in
fact
does
have
the
copyright.
We're
saying
that
we
legitimately
own
the
copyright
to
this
film," Contactmusic
quoted
Joseph
Doyle,
World
Wide
Video's
lawyer,
as
saying.
The
company
dished
out
more
than
1
million
dollars
and
was
on
the
verge
of
premiering
it
last
year
when
an
order
from
Ono's
legal
team
made
them
scrap
the
screening
altogether.
The
case
is
due
for
hearing
on
30th
April.
