Morrison's estate sues The Doors



Wasn't there some mention here of The Doors selling out a while back? It looks like the problem is that part ownership of the band passed with the estate. From the little we know of it, The Who may have a similar arrangement.

Morrison Estate Sues Surviving Doors
(E! Online) - The 21st Century Doors have lit a fire under the estate of the late Jim Morrison. Seeing red are George and Clara Morrison, the octogenarian parents of the group's legendary frontman, who filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against surviving members Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger on Wednesday. They claim the rockers swiped their son's poetry and image and used them in a revamped version of The Doors currently touring the U.S., featuring The Cult's former frontman, Ian Astbury, as a fill-in for Morrison.
