The complaint is worded to indicate that the atlas contains interpretations based on extensive original historical research. I suppose they are arguing that these aren't published facts that exist anywhere in the historical record. They reconstructed what was possibly in effect during many time periods based on possibly anecdotal historical documentation. I'm no lawyer, but I suspect some concrete examples of this would come up during the trial.
These atlases set forth interpretations of historical
time zone information pertaining to innumerable locations
throughout the world, based upon the compilation of
historical research and documentation regarding
applicable time zones officially and/or in actuality in
effect, given the actual latitude and longitudes of
specific locations throughout the world.

For the 1980-04-06 transition # Shanks & Pottenger give 02:00, the BEV 00:00. Go with the BEV, # and guess 02:00 for 1945-04-12.

- adamjernst 15y agoI believe the issue is that copying the Atlas directly would not be permitted, but using it as a research source would be allowed.
