BOSTON, May 23 (UPI) -- U.S. District Court Judge Rya W. Zobel has dismissed the claim of a Massachusetts company that accused singer John Lennon's widow of copyright infringement.
The company, World Wide Video, insists it owns the rights to hours of reportedly revealing footage of Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono filmed at their British estate in 1970, The Boston Globe said.
People who say they have seen the tapes told the newspaper they show Lennon smoking marijuana, talking about how he kicked a heroin habit and stating he would like to put LSD in U.S. President Richard Nixon's tea.
Zobel also ruled this week that Ono may proceed with a counterclaim against the video company, in which she maintains she is the rightful owner of the tapes.
In addition, the federal judge has ruled that World Wide Video may pursue its lawsuit against a Florida man it says wrongfully sold the tapes to Ono, the Globe said.
