I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Plus passage of time, and apparently Von Braun was _so_ Nazi that a Nazi swastika just wasn't enough, so he went the extra mile to procure an SS totenkopf* to take to an American jeweler to craft into his double secret, double evil, double pin that he wore everywhere but no-one ever saw.

* The insignia of the 3rd SS Panzer Division which took part in the invasion of France until spring '41 and spent the rest of the war on the Eastern Front.

I'm willing to completely trash this account because it references Richard Hoagland multiple times and ends with "Hoagland was right."

Richard Hoagland has a well-documented hatred for NASA and is also known for claiming NASA is hiding evidence of extraterrestrial activity, that he designed the Pioneer 10 plaque along with Carl Sagan, and frequently plagiarizes to puff up his own credentials.

Probably not, they're already deployed. Probably easier to send them somewhere else from Kuwait than from home station.

The regular Army isn't super busy anyway, at least not in regards to combat operations. Most BDEs just train up for a training center rotation and then go to Korea, Kuwait, eastern Europe or somewhere around the Pacific.

Based on the summaries it looks like:
The majority: the “government edicts doctrine” holds that works for hire by the government are public domain
Thomas’s dissent: if congress wanted to create a government edicts doctrine they should’ve written one into copyright law, the entire thing is dumb
Ginsburg dissent: the government edicts doctrine does not apply here because it applies only to the works of the government, not its contractors.

The majority could have some pretty wide ranging implications I think?

Ehhhh, that kinda makes sense? I don't necessarily agree, but I can see the logic behind her reasoning.

The majority called it a work for hire though which means that its as if the government itself wrote it. The government being able to copyright its "edicts" using a work for hire would not only undermine the concept of the edicts doctrine but also the definition of a work for hire.

The case originated when Georgia’s Code Revision Commission threatened, and ultimately sued, open records activist Carl Malamud and his organization Public.Resource.Org (PRO). In an effort to make Georgia’s official laws easily accessible, Malamud had bought a hard copy of the OCGA, paying more than $1,200 for it. (The 11th Circuit opinion reports that a copy currently costs $404, although it isn’t clear if that price applies to non-residents.) Malamud then scanned the books, and sent each Georgia legislator a USB stick with two full copies—one of the scanned OCGA, and another encoded in XML format.

I should be surprised that my state did this, but I'm not.

You could always draw up a contract that specified otherwise as Georgia did. But Georgia did it to avoid its legal responsibilities and thats a bit of a no no.

Seems like a bit of a mess, which is why the opinions fell as they did. Well, other Thomas with his classic "this court should only have the power to adjudicate one water right dispute between states every 5 years" ruling

I did not at all read this case as something that could be used as an attack on work for hire, and Ginsburg's dissent does not track that either. I have not read Thomas' dissent. Ginsburg argued that the commission and publication of the annotations was outside the scope of legislative work that is exempted from copyright protection because they only published annotations on extant laws, were silent on the legislature's interpretation, and were merely collections of people other than the legislature's interpretations. As the annotations have no connection to a legislative function, she would have upheld their copyright status.
