Is ignorance of the law a design goal?

摘要

Carl Malamud, who for years has been trying to let you have Internet access to government documents you supposedly should have access to, is making news again. You now have Internet access to federal court decisions, Securities and Exchange Commission documents, patent documents, congressional bills and copyright registrations.You can thank Malamud for a lot of this. Nonetheless, too many state and local governments don't seem not to get the concept that the public should have free access to such documents.
