The PD tag only covers the form itself. The text of the complaint begins on page 3 and is not by an employee of the court, but by a private party – copyright presumably owned by one of a) Wendy Evelyn Gilberti, the lawyer, b) iGeneral Counsel, P.C., the law firm, or c) Internet Brands, Inc., the client and plaintiff. There is no indication given that court filings by private parties lose copyright protection or that the documents have been released under a free license. They are covered by rules of public access, but access is not necessarily the same as Public Domain. Philosopher Let us reason together. 20:25, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
- Comment: When uploading this PDF I tried to follow the examples from other legal filings, but if a legal filing truly isn't a public domain document then I would ask that someone at Wikimedia be notified prior to deleting this PDF since http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/09/05/wikimedia-foundation-seeks-declaratory-relief-in-response-to-legal-threats-from-internet-brands/ currently links to this PDF and will need to be updated. -- Wrh2 (talk) 21:41, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- Good point. I've e-mailed wmf:User:Kkay, the author of that blog post, advising her of this DR and of the other one. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 01:42, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- We've moved it to the Foundationwiki and added a fair use claim there. I'll delete it here. Philippe Beaudette, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 23:45, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
