How would you characterize Klein’s actions and his relationship with the Beatles? Did he violate that relationship, if so how?

Bright Tunes sued George Harrison, alleging that the Harrison composition “My Sweet Lord” copied the Bright Tunes song “He's So Fine.” At the time the suit was filed, Allen B. Klein was handling the business affairs of the Beatles. Klein (representing George Harrison) met with the president of Bright Tunes and suggested that Harrison might be interested in purchasing the copyright to “He's So Fine.” Shortly thereafter, Klein's management contract with the Beatles expired.

The trial judge in the copyright case found that Harrison had infringed the copyright on “He's So Fine” and assessed damages of $1,599,987. After the trial, Klein purchased the “He's So Fine” copyright from Bright Tunes and with it, the right to recover from Harrison for breach of copyright. In negotiating his purchase of the copyright, Klein gave Bright Tunes information that he had gained as Harrison's agent about royalty income for “My Sweet Lord.”
