Here’s a link about Carl Malamud challenging Georgia who claims to own the copyright on state laws. Laws shouldn’t be copyrighted.

He also challenged California successfully about 18 months ago but it was a long trial with expensive legal bills. He’s been fighting California’s claim of owning a copyright on state laws since he published their building codes back in 2008.
