Law Meme has coverage of an decision that will be reviewed by the Supreme court of the US.

Why do I really care? The decision is about builing codes. Ok, I don’t care, but Fleecy might! The decision is about web publication. Bonus points, but not really that much of a big deal for me (or for the court I think). It deals with copyrights on public texts, law and judicial decisions. Getting closer, and Pseudo will most certainly be interested

The deal for me is that it shows a different aspect of the practice of law making using private norms than the ones I focus on in my thesis. It is also reminiscent of the W3C and ITU patent policies problems.

Anyways, hopefully this is a good test case to get a sound policy conscious copyright decision from the US Supreme Court.
