Val - When they first announced that a non black was doing this black folks got upset. BUT I wonder, would MLK care? He was about equality. It can be looked at in two ways. Either it's an example of how far we have come and that parts of his dream have come to reality. Or black folks got shafted again because they thought we would have done a slop job. It all depends on how you look at it I guess...
U.S. Code Title 17, Chapter 1, Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

I still can't believe they got a Chinese artist to do this. I swear we can't ever get the work, even when it's us giving the work.
