Interessante, ma come la mettiamo con il diritto di critica, considerato che mi sembra innegabile che si tratti di un discorso politico? Nel sistema italiano il discorso non rientra nelle libere utilizzazioni? Nel sistema americano non rientra nel fair use? V Il giorno 17/gen/2012, alle ore 04.41, J.C. DE MARTIN ha scritto:

Copyright King: Why the "I Have a Dream" Speech Still Isn't Free Posted by Alex_Pasternack on Monday, Jan 16, 2012

While the copyright restriction isn’t news, EMI’s unusual role in policing the use of King’s words – the first instance of the company taking on a non-music based intellectual property catalog – hasn’t been widely reported.
