A federal appeals court has overturned a previous injunction against the release of the movie Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash. The movie depicts the 1977 plane crash that killed Lynyrd Skynyrd frontman, Ronnie Van Zant. Following a lawsuit filed by his widow and others, including founding band member Allen Collins, a lower court had granted a permanent injunction on screening the film. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan on Wednesday vacated the stay, and ruled that Cleopatra Records Inc. can distribute the film. “Provisions of a consent decree that both prohibit a movie about such a history and also permit a movie about such an experience are sufficiently inconsistent, or at least insufficiently specific, to support an injunction,” the court said in its ruling.
