The article's incorrect in their statement that the Fabs actually recorded at the Capitol building in Hwood, right?

I wonder if the Lennon estate has the right to put a stop to a pay-per-view show like this.

Joe,

I am not sure what the absolute answer is from a legal standpoint, but you would certainly think that Yoko may try to stop this nonsense.

John's image and name under certain circumstances are intellectual property. Pretty thin ground to stand on though I am afraid.

I suspect that the producers may be able to escape any potential stop orders by invoking current freedom of the press and free speech laws.

I don't know, but this sort of sounds right up Yoko's alley.

I don't believe any of The Beatles recorded at Capitol.
