Human, how do you not think this is ugly as hell? Impact font, bigger than normal, bright blue? King's words don't need a 12-year-old-with-a-Geocities-account treatment.--Tom Moore fiat justitia ruat coelum 03:31, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No, but during the metapedia wars it was fun. Actually, no, I don't think it's ugly.  I agree his words don't "need" the emphasis - but he spoke in blue +3 impact!  I won't revert if you undo it again... sigh...  03:35, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Compromised :) Now I can stand to look at it and you can enjoy big blue letters.--Tom Moore fiat justitia ruat coelum 03:41, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Wikilovefest! Thanks for bringing it to the talk page.  03:50, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah!!! My eyes! Blue fonts on super bright white background! I am deepening the blue (not turning to black, I know the discussions you guys have).  14:49, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't think this should be a standalone mainspace article, when it's just a transcript & not original RW content. + The font size is terrible. 17:57, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Reason we have this?
I know we are all beating a dead horse, but is there a reason we have this, and are speeches copy written?Godot   Grow a vagina 16:22, 24 January 2012 (UTC)  From WikiPed: Copyright disput -Because King's speech was broadcast to a large radio and television audience, there was controversy about the copyright status of the speech. If the performance of the speech constituted "general publication", it would have entered the public domain due to King's failure to register the speech with the Registrar of Copyrights. If the performance only constituted "limited publication", however, King retained common law copyright. This led to a lawsuit, Estate of Martin Luther King, Jr., Inc. v. CBS, Inc., which established that the King estate does hold copyright over the speech and had standing to sue; the parties then settled. Unlicensed use of the speech or a part of it can still be lawful in some circumstances, especially in jurisdictions under doctrines such as fair use or fair dealing. Under the applicable copyright laws, the speech will remain under copyright in the United States until 70 years after King's death, thus until 2038.
