If a law is secret then no one should (or can) be expected to follow it. Does that make sense? Also laws cannot be copyrighted, they are a free gift to everyone that is expected to obey. Also- copyrighted from who? Other countries? States? Who isn’t allowed to use these laws without permission and a license? Imagine an international lawsuit where one country says “We have copyrighted that murder is a crime, your country has better come up with something different!” which would inevitably be followed by “Oh ya? I kill you scum!”. I know I’m missing the point, but my point is that just because it’s your business to make rules it doesn’t mean that you can hide them and sell access. That’s selfish! (and dangerous, stupid and wrong)
Also they go on about what they use the money for, disregarding the fact that it shouldn’t be their money; “This funding model allows SDOs to remain independent of special interests and to develop up-to-date, high quality standards.” conveniently leaving out “…and have nice cars. Vrooooom!!!”
