God I hate that shitstain. Let me dump another shitty thing he did in this thread. Did you know that he actively prevents people from making movies that feature any of MLK's speech's. He owns the film rights to them and sits on them to make sure they are in no way preserved or depicted in film.
Fuck his zionist ass. It would be so funny if he visited isntreal and got 🔻
lmao owning the rights to depicting history, this country is fucked. intellectual property violation is the fakest form of “theft” right behind “organized retail shoplifters”
intellectual property violation is both a civic duty and an ethical demand
uhhhhh what? i don't understand what you mean, and like copyright law is weird and stupid so i'm willing to believe some kind of fuckery--but i've definitely seen MLK speeches in documentary films
He and dreamworks got the rights to the speech from king's estate and sat on them for a long ass time. Apparently a lot of movies with mlk in them rewrite a lot of the lines because of copyright stuff. Here's the old vice article I found about it. link
Apparently they're finally making something with the rights. recent forbes article So yeah they've had the rights for a while and this has caused a lot of issues for anyone else who ever wanted to make mlk related works.
so it must be just for like, the rights to re-create the speeches in biopics, not the recordings from the actual events? ridiculous on so many levels
Yeah, film rights to use the direct words of the speeches I think. Insane
How?
How the fuck you can even copyright public speeches?
