John Lennon's widow and sons have been rebuffed in their attempt to block the use of part of the song "Imagine" in a film about intelligent design. A New York federal judge ruled Monday that the producers of the movie "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" were protected by the fair use doctrine in playing a 15-second excerpt from the song. The judge denied Yoko Ono, Lennon's sons and EMI Blackwood Music the preliminary injunction they sought, finding they were unlikely to prevail on the merits.
