Oregon: You Have To Pay Us To Explain The Laws To You
,----[ Quote ]
| However, Oregon is back in the news on a similar issue, as
| Slashdot points us to the news that a professor is challenging the
| state's attorney general to sue him after he scanned and posted a
| state-produced guide to using public-records laws. You would
| think, again, that the state would want such a document spread as
| widely as possible, as it would better help Oregonians understand
| the law. But the state claims it needs to sell the book for $25 to
| cover production costs.

Linden Lab Sued Over Copied Virtual Goods
,----[ Quote ]
| Way back in 2003, when Linden Lab announced that individuals owned
| the real world copyright on virtual trinkets they made in the
| game, we noted that this was a bad idea that would lead to
| problems. It was, in effect, taking bad real world laws and
| bringing them into a virtual world. It was even worse, because it
| was taking real world laws that were designed for a world of
| scarcity, and bringing them into a world of abundance -- and
| effectively allowing the laws to reach from the real world into
| the virtual world. That's a recipe for trouble.

A Win in Oregon for Public Access
,----[ Quote ]
| Efforts by Justia and Public.Resource.Org to overturn Oregon's claim of
| copyright in its statutes paid off today. Oregon's Legislative Counsel
| Committee met this morning and voted unanimously to put the Oregon Revised
| Statutes in the public domain. Tim Stanley has the news. Background on the
| Oregon issue is available from Public.Resource.Org.
