Hello All,

The issue is the "remover" of his public domain speech
from Project Gutenberg web site?
I think they should put it back, like all the other historic
documents / etext available at Project Gutenberg.

Regards,

Byron Collins

Is it public domain, then?

The text that is in place seems rather to say that Gutenberg
considers the text to be still under copyright protection.

If you want it back, do as they say, and contact the King estate.

I'm Sorry,

Project Gutenberg didn't leave a 1-800 phone number, email or
land mail address to the King estate ;-(.

I will be *Happy* to send a simple local "hometown" postcard to
this "King estate" requesting them to allow the "Dream10.txt" to be
provided at Project Gutenberg.

At present, a U.S. Stamp cost - $ 0.37 cents, not including the
cost of a local "hometown" postcard.

39 cents as of today, or 24 cents for a postcard. Google should find
information about the Martin Luther King Jr. estate, maybe even a web
site with the text of the "I Have A Dream" speech.

Stanford's Martin Luther King Institute still has a transcript of the
"I have a dream" speech online in PDF:

http://www.stanford.edu/group/King/speeches/pub/address_at_march_on_washington.pdf

It's marked with a copyright notice; I presume they have permission
to include it on their site. They also have audio if you'd like to
hear the speech as delivered.

For folks who would like to reproduce the speech elsewhere,
they also have contact information for copyright permissions
for the King estate at

Hello,

Their PDF files is poor quality, I can't even open them using Acrobat
Reader.

Well, apparently the speech is NOT yet in the public domain.

Based on US law, that isn't surprising... The "traditional" rule was
that works did not enter the public domain until 75 years after the
death of the author. King has not been dead for 75 years yet.

The changes anticipated to the "traditional" rule are that companies
like Disney are trying to extend copyright even further.
