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, until 2038.

A second problem is that nominally ''twelve-volt'' power in cars fluctuates widely. The actual voltage will be approximately 12.5 volts when dormant (less in cold conditions), approximately 14.5 volts when the engine and the alternator/generator are operating (more when cold), and may briefly drop as low as 5--6 volts during engine start. When used, DC to DC converters will usually compensate for small fluctuations, but reliable power may not be available without an independent battery-powered uninterruptible power supply.
