Dear All,
 
The crux of Julian's dilemma about using Bungalow Bill was that an action  
could be brought by Sony that, 'the last deemed  significant use of the phrase 
was on the White Album'.  Although this may  not have stood up in court, the 
action from Sony at that time would  have cost a lot to defend and Julian would 
not have had the financial clout to  make that defence, even though he would 
have been found patently within his  rights to use the BB phrase.  Money wins 
cases or at least sees off the  innocent defendants.
 
Best,
 
Martin
