History of I have a dream/Talk

Difference (from prior major revision) (author diff)

Changed: 25c25

Some combination of your description and my description of the case probably should be on the main page, but let's discuss details a bit. For one, it is important to note that the circuit court did not rule that the work was under copyright. It ruled only that the district courts summary judgment that the work was in the public domain was unjustified, that there were material facts in controversy, and that therefore the case was remanded to the district court for trial. No trial took place because CBS settled. --LDC
