The KLF: Celebs Rumors

release on digital platforms yesterday (April 4), filmmaker Chris Atkins has released a trailer for his controversial documentary on The KLF, Who Killed The KLF?The film was premiered last September at the Fantastic Fest in Texas, despite objections from The KLF’s publisher.Snippets of the London duo’s songs, including ‘3am Eternal’ and ‘What Time Is Love?’, are used in the documentary under the fair dealing defence – which allows for the use of copyrighted work without payment or permission if it’s being used for the purpose of criticism.However, in a report from last October, lawyers on behalf of The KLF told Atkins and his production crew that they take any alleged infringement “extremely seriously”, and tried to block the film’s release.The group were also against the film’s production when it began. In 2016, member Jimmy Caughty told an interviewer that he was unhappy about the documentary plans, saying: “We don’t want to do it – it’s like an archaeological dig through the past.

The KLF have launched a new website and shared a remix.Entitled ‘KLF Kare’, the duo claim they are offering to “provide branding solutions to independently owned care homes” according to a statement.The website also points to a new remix by Tony Thorpe, who is credited as an “additional performer” on the duo’s The White Room album, of Harry Nilsson‘s ‘Everybody’s Talkin’ At Me’ featuring the late Ricardo Da Force who rapped on many of the duo’s singles.

But at heart…Are you still an…Indie Kid or a…Death Metal Head…or a…Punks not Deader…or a…Proper Head (Dead or not) or just a…Raver to the Grave?All aboard, all aboard!The KLF Kare Homes are taking their first residents!I'm loving the soundtrack of my old age…New sounds, old vibes here:https://t.co/y2hC6rzdbE pic.twitter.com/4WNjQckBRA— Adrian Legg (@memenow) November 24, 2023“If so…You might want to know more about KLF KARE*.

The KLF are trying to block an unauthorised documentary made about them from airing, owing largely to claims that its makers have infringed copyright of their music.Director Chris Atkins’ film Who Killed the KLF? was shown to audiences at Texas’ Fantastic Fest recently despite objections from the electronic group’s music publisher. Snippets of music from their songs, including ‘3am Eternal’ and ‘What Time Is Love?’, have been used in the documentary under the fair dealing defence.As The Guardian reports, Atkins and his production team have relied on the copyright law defence that allows for the use of work without payment or permission if it’s being used for the purpose of criticism.
