Once Upon a Time: Everything Was copyrighted

Copyright is an engine for knowledge. Although copyright creates monopoly, it should not be considered as a good in itself, but as a tool which can be used to achieve societal desirable objectives. Against the current trend we have seen over the past decades, copyright can and should be curtailed in some circumstances. The U.S. Supreme Court, in a non traditional 5-4 vote, just did that when - on April, 20 2020- in Georgia vs. Public.Resource.org held that the official version of the law cannot be copyrighted. By this decision, access to knowledge and free expressions

redeemed themselves by returning legislations where they belong; the public domain.
