[QuadList] Copyright (and other rights) Issues

[C. Park Seward]

I was the Technical Director for the KABC-TV coverage of the MLK  
parade in Los Angeles. We wanted to use the "I Have A Dream" speech  
but they wanted a lot of money for an excerpt. We used news footage  
instead... for free.

Best,
Park
