Quite simply, this is a racket. Courts are public, and anyone can attend and write down what goes on and publish it. There is an official court reporter who does this. There is no authorship, but the reporter is granted a copyright. They then charge fees for access. The problem lies there. The courts should publish all cases in the open, with no copyright. That however blocks lawyer and reporter revenue streams and they will protect their racket.
