  "It's not a right to block representations you don't like". Of course it is. You can believe it's not right or fair but that's as far as it goes. To argue beyond that is a waste of time.

  When you have the rights to the music and how that artists music and image is portrayed in the media, why would you want to give that right to someone who is only looking to make a quick dollar from that artist. The he drix estate has a bigger responsibility over how that artist is portrayed in the media. Hendrix's catalog is actually doing very well with sales. They don't need this movie at all. If they let the producers use his music in this movie it would be the same as giving their stamp of approval. Then the estate puts their own movie out one day that portrays him in a different light. Then you guys will start posts claiming that the Hendrix estate will do anything to make a dollar.

  A couple of important points take into consideration.
  1. The Hendrix estate plans on doing their own full length documentary/Hollywood story one day.
  2. All is by my side is not a documentary. A true documentary would probably not do so well at the box office so parts need to be kicked up to make it Hollywood style. A lot of Hendrix's fans, family and friends are not happy about the way he is portrayed in the movie. Jimi's girlfriend Cathy Etchingham is very unhappy about the scene where jimi beats her with a telephone. That scene was completely made up to add some drama to the movie. Be sure to google this for yourself and you will understand why Jimi's family wants nothing to do with this movie.
