“Georgia claims that a legal rebel, Public.Resource.org, is publishing and making it easy for others to copy the physical text and accompanying annotations of Georgia’s state law—the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. The state’s Code Revision Commission maintains that PublicResource.org is not entitled to reproduce the annotated version of Georgia’s code. Annotations are summaries of the law’s meaning and those summaries are contracted to a third party to write. So what Georgia is essentially saying is it is not OK to copy and distribute the texts of the state’s laws if those texts are accompanied with the state-owned summaries of what the law actually means.”
