A question has risen at the University of West Florida. Under state law, the majority of university documents are public records. Several staff (unaware of the impact of public records laws) have suggested that we still have the ability to copyright materials. And several staff, placing these public records on University web pages, are now attaching copyright notices to them.
Is anyone on the list aware of whether public records can be copyrighted? And especially when such are placed on a web page (without graphics), is a copyright notice applicable?
