LEGAL FILE
Over in Stockholm, Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman is suing a tabloid for symbolic damages of one crown (15 cents), saying it broke the copyright to his memoirs. The film director and his publishers took the evening newspaper Aftonbladet to court this week, charging that it published an article based on unedited material from his biography, “Laterna Magica,” before it was published in 1987. Aftonbladet’s editor, Thorbjorn Larsson, denied the charge, saying the article was based on interviews, books and television programs.
