The Copyright Nightmare of "I Have a Dream"; Mother Board, 8/29/11

Alex Pasternack, Mother Board; The Copyright Nightmare of "I Have a Dream" :

"At the family’s Web site, videotapes and audiotapes of the speech can be purchased for $10 a piece. The family controls the copyright of the speech for 70 years after King’s death, in 2038.

Until then, you’ll most likely have an easier finding ABBA’s version of “I Have a Dream” than King’s."
