@kerouac666 @tchambers I’m not an attorney, but according to at least one site mugshots across the United States in all jurisdictions are part of the public record, just like court transcripts for example, and are in the public domain. I’d love a copyright expert to weigh in. Local and state laws / statutes are also public record and can not be paywalled if online. Why PACER isn't free is a whole other thing. https://www.pacerfeesclassaction.com/Home.aspx #CopyrightWars #RuleOfLaw

We sued for peace in the Copyright Wars, and millions of us turned the battlefield into a garden.

"Under these market conditions, giving a creator extra copyright is like giving a bullied kid extra lunch money: it doesn’t matter how much money you give that kid, the bullies are going to take it all. This is true even - especially - if the bullies use some of that stolen lunch money to pay for a massive global ad campaign exhorting us to think of the poor hungry kids and demanding that we give them even more lunch money."
