We've read the speech in school in Germany. Not from a textbook, but simply a copied text, from the internet I presume. Was that illegal? I think every class did. A relative who was a few years behind me also read it, with a different teacher.

Not sure of international copyright status, but probably it was legal.

The main casualty of the copyright status is that textbooks cannot reproduce it freely.
