I don't think I need to explain why I'm nominating this, other than out of surprise that it hasn't been already. Its encyclopedic and historical value is obviously immense, and it meets all criteria. Sir Richardson (talk) 19:21, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Support --- encyclopedic value is very high, sound quality is good. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 07:08, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- Support - It is public domain, so there are no IP issues. On the garbage sound system built into my notebook computer at work, Dr. King's speech is easily intelligible. "Its encyclopedic and historical value is obviously immense" is no exaggeration. NYCRuss ☎ 17:34, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Question: - I thought the speech is copyrighted by the King's family. The article I Have a Dream states that the speech can be used under fair use only until 2038. Even though University of California released its recording into the Public Domain, the speech itself is not free yet. So, can we promote sound with such a copyright status? --Kimse (talk) 19:17, 9 May 2010 (UTC)- Not support - I have nominated it for speedy deletion on commons, as it is a copyvio, as per Kimse. It can be used under fair use, but it certainly isn't PD, not until 2038. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 12:30, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- If desired I can retrieve the file for local project fair use purposes. Just ask on my talkpage. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 15:14, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
