JIMI HENDRIX'S ESTATE ENTITLED TO ENFORCE PERFORMER'S RIGHTS. This Court of Appeal case concerned the rights in performances by Jimi Hendrix contained on live recordings made in the late 60s in the UK, Sweden and the US.
The judges in the initial trial and in an earlier related trial found that Hendrix's estate, Experience Hendrix, could enforce rights in the performances so as to prevent sales by Purple Haze Records ("Purple Haze") and its de facto owner Lawrence Miller (who was representing himself and Purple Haze in the proceedings) of CDs containing live recordings made under licence from John Hillman. Purple Haze, Mr Miller and Mr Hillman argued that Experience Hendrix was not entitled to enforce the rights because: The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 ("the Act") created rights in performances for performers who were alive on the date that the Act came into force in respect of performances which predated the Act, and it took away pre-existing similar rights for performers who died before the Act came into force.

A la suite de l’arrêt brutal de sa tournée européenne après son tout dernier concert le 6 septembre 1970 (Ile de Fehmarn - Allemagne) - son bassiste Billy Cox ayant absorbé un acide qui l’a rendu momentanément totalement parano d’où un rapatriement d’urgence aux USA - Jimi Hendrix est rentré à Londres et s’est officiellement installé à l’hôtel Cumberland dans le quartier de Marble Arch, près de Hyde Park.
Ce n’est pas là qu’il est décédé le 18 septembre mais au Samarkand à Notting Hill, dans l’appartement-hôtel où il séjournait en fait secrètement avec sa copine Monika Dannemann. C’est dans la Suite 507/508 (qui n’existe plus aujourd’hui) située au 5ème étage du Cumberland que le guitariste a donné sa dernière interview officielle au journaliste et ami Keith Altham pour la BBC, une semaine avant son décès.
The Jimi Hendrix experience at London's Cumberland Hotel. He lived with his girlfriend Kathy Etchingham in a flat at 23 Brook Street – next door to the house where Handel had lived and where he composed Messiah – and once described it as "the only home I ever had".
But the Cumberland was his private redoubt – a place to which he would often retreat to find privacy – and to conduct his hectic and often complicated love-life. As Keith Altham, a music journalist who became Hendrix's friend and confidante, puts it, the Cumberland was where Hendrix would go "for the purpose of meeting various young ladies when he wanted to keep away from the various other young ladies that he was seeing". The hotel is also named on Hendrix's death certificate as his place of residence. He died on the morning of September 18 1970 from an overdose of barbiturates in the room of a girlfriend at the Hotel Samarkand in Lansdowne Crescent, Notting Hill. An accurate reproduction of Hendrix's suite would probably be furnished with G-Plan furniture and a candlewick bedspread.
