Mark Walsh, ABA Journal; Open Access: SCOTUS will consider whether publishers can copyright annotated state codes
"The question in Georgia v. Public.Resource.Org Inc.
is whether a work such as the Official Code of Georgia Annotated may
not be copyrighted because it falls under the doctrine of “government edicts.”
The doctrine stems from a series of 19th-century Supreme Court cases
holding that judicial writings and other official legal works published
under state authority are not “the proper subject of private copyright,”
as an 1888 decision put it."
