Do more research before you google a few terms here and there and pretend to know about music. or law. or pop culture.
Moron. He does not need permission to record Imagine and put it on a CD and sell it. Is he responsible for paying the copyright owner for his revenue? Yes. But that is with all songs, whether he got permission or not. Hence the advantage of being a songwriter. You get royalties.

You're out of your league here. Back down before you end up with your turtleneck and sweater vest up your arse.
