Shortly after the film's release, Ono filed a suit against the film's producers, Premise Media seeking damages for copyright infringement because the song had not been licensed for use in the film. On May 19, the parties agreed to a voluntary temporary restraining order while they awaited Manhattan U.S. District Court Judge Sydney H. Stein's ruling on Ono's motion to enjoin the showing and distribution of the film. The restraining order prevented the producers from making additional copies of the film for distribution. On June 2, Stein denied the injunction and noted that Premise Media was likely to succeed on its fair use defense.
