I don't know if this rises to the level of gold digging. Misguided, perhaps. The King family is known to keep a pretty tight reign on the use of MLK's image. This seems a little over the top, though.

"For years, King's family has fiercely protected his legacy, suing for a share of the proceeds from the use of his words and images in merchandise and publications. In the 1990s, the family reached settlements with USA Today and CBS over their use of King's "I Have a Dream" speech without permission. A federal appeals court ruled in 1999 during the CBS case that the speech was not in the public domain."
