A judge’s finding that a new Lynyrd Skynyrd film violates a “blood oath” made by the band to not exploit the group’s name following a fatal plane crash hasn’t stopped the film’s creators from threatening to distribute the film.
Lawyers for the filmmakers say in court papers that they can distribute “Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash” to “anyone and everyone in the world” until the judge formally says otherwise. The film was made with input from a former drummer with the pioneering 1970s southern rock band whose hits included “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Free Bird.”
