Not only did the filmmakers resort to deception in order to gain "biased" interviews with several of the scientists in this film, they also used John Lennon's infamous song "Imagine" without permission, and Yoko Ono and Lennon's sons are suing.

The filmmakers however are claiming their right to "free speech", citing that the fair use doctrine allows the use of copyrighted materials for the purposes of commentary and criticism.

I haven't seen the film, are they actually using the song in order to criticize the song specifically?
