<P> In October 2016 Science Friday in a segment on its crowd sourced update to the Voyager Golden Record included the speech . </P> <P> Because King's speech was broadcast to a large radio and television audience, there was controversy about its copyright status . If the performance of the speech constituted "general publication", it would have entered the public domain due to King's failure to register the speech with the Register of Copyrights . However, if the performance only constituted "limited publication", King retained common law copyright . This led to a lawsuit, Estate of Martin Luther King, Jr., Inc. v. CBS, Inc., which established that the King estate does hold copyright over the speech and had standing to sue; the parties then settled . Unlicensed use of the speech or a part of it can still be lawful in some circumstances, especially in jurisdictions under doctrines such as fair use or fair dealing . Under the applicable copyright laws, the speech will remain under copyright in the United States until 70 years after King's death, therefore until 2038 . </P> <P> As King waved goodbye to the audience, he handed George Raveling the original typewritten "I Have a Dream" speech . Raveling, an All - American Villanova Wildcats college basketball player, had volunteered as a security guard for the event and was on the podium with King at that moment . In 2013, Raveling still had custody of the original copy, for which he had been offered $3,000,000, but he has said he does not intend to sell it . </P>
