Shameless shyt. They did this shyt on purpose to piss people off knowing that this would generate attention.

Steven Spielberg still has the life rights to Martin Luther King Jr.’s story. That could be a problem.

The MLK estate has owned the rights to his speeches since 1963

Who owns the 17-minute speech? The King family. King himself obtained rights to his “I Have a Dream” speech a month after he gave it in 1963 when he sued two companies that were selling unauthorized copies. His family has since then received an income from exercising its intellectual property rights, and has gone to court to protect its copyright, including against CBS and USA Today ( though apparently not against educators who have used the speech in violation of the copyright). All of King’s speeches and papers are owned by his descendants. I asked representatives of the King Center in Atlanta to explain why the speech was never made public but the only response I got was an e-mailed intellectual property request form to fill out. Representatives for the King family have said in the past that the family wants educators to have access to it, and some King documents are available for free to researchers.

Spielberg owns the biopic rights from the era with those speeches

Selma director Ava DuVernay may well have taken more license than artistically necessary in the confrontational scenes between Martin Luther King Jr. and President Johnson. But inaccuracies in other significant parts of the film were forced upon DuVernay by copyright law. The film’s numerous scenes of King delivering powerful speeches regarding civil rights all had to be paraphrased, because the MLK estate has already licensed the film rights in those speeches to DreamWorks and Warner Bros., for an MLK biopic Steven Spielberg is slated to produce.

Keep in mind there is a reason why Coretta Scott King or any of her 4 kids ever had to have a full time gig.

But the commercial was disgusting. MLK didn't put his life in danger to sell Ram trucks

Use a timeless speech to sell a truck that loses value time you drive off in it
