John Hillman was the lawyer responsible for setting up the Yameta publishing company and subsequently winding it up after Jimi's death. In recent years (mainly through Lawrence Miller of Purple Haze Records) he claimed ownership of the Hendrix catalogue leading to a number of unauthorised releases. When Experience Hendrix challenged him in court, like many before him, he lost. His claim was based on the premise that when he wound up Yameta its assets passed to him. This was also the home of Cathy McGowan Enterprises, the company fronted by the presenter of Ready, Steady, Go.
