Great to know, thank you!

- chefandy 3y agoTo be clear, they are all in the public domain— Fastcase updates included. All of the proprietary info was redacted by hand and the opinions themselves are not copyrightable. The throttling is a contractual obligation to a project partner that limits Harvard's distribution of the cases until Feb of 2024, but that's it. There are also exceptions— cases where the publication is no longer in copyright, and jurisdictions that already publish their opinions online... There are 3 or 4. Those are accessible without throttling through the API and through bulk downloads right now. This should have more up-to-date and accurate information than I do: https://case.law/about https://case.law/about
