The costs to publish the law is a total non-sequiter. Being expensive to publish doesn&#x27;t make something copyrightable. It is expensive to publish any number of public domain works, that doesn&#x27;t take them out of the public domain.<p>And, not only are public domain works not copyrightable, they&#x27;re none-the-less very available, almost always for free. Making it copyrightable does nothing to help provide access to the content, and everything to hinder it.
