Duo’s music publisher attempts to prevent release of unauthorised film Who Killed the KLF?
When the KLF released their first album, it used so many unauthorised samples of copyrighted music that ABBA threatened legal action, forcing the duo to withdraw the record from sale and dump unsold copies of 1987: What the Fuck is Going On? in the North Sea.
Three decades later the pair – AKA the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, or more plainly Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty – find themselves on the other side of an increasingly fraught copyright battle over who should be allowed to use their music.
