copyright violation concerns

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I need to re-emphasize again, that a text from US Court Documents can never be copyrighted, and it/they is/are in the public domain from the moment of creation. Even attempts by US States to impose some form of copyright fees/restrictions on annotated State (not Federal) legal cases have been overturned by SCOTUS: https://www.courthousenews.com/supreme-court-rules-states-cant-copyright-annotated-laws/#:~:text=The%20U.S.%20Supreme%20Court.%20%28Jack%20Rodgers%2FCourthouse%20News%29%20WASHINGTON,annotated%20versions%20of%20state%20codes%20cannot%20be%20copyrighted. Furthermore, it is most appropriate to recite the exact language of the Court's ruling in this case with enumerated criteria, rather than to rewrite it as a "prose".
