Government Publications: works prepared by an officer
or an employee of the U.S. government as a part of that person's
official duty are not copyrightable. For instance, legislation
authored by a United States senator is not copyrightable; but
a book written by the same senator about her experiences on
Capitol Hill is because such a book would not be written as
part of the senator's official duty. Note that this government
publications exception applies only to works of the U.S. government,
however. Works of other governmental bodies, such as states,
counties and cities, are copyrightable and can only be reproduced
in accordance with law. |
