If this question is in some archive, I hope somebody would point me to the answer. I would like to know how West Group, and Lexis if they are doing it, is able to simply copy entire briefs filed in court and then sell access to them over the Internet? Fair use? Public Domain? These briefs seem to me to be no different than books in a public library. This is profiting off of others work and amounts to stealing in my way of thinking. Any ideas on this or is West simply so big it can get anyway with anything?
