| Here's something intresting:
"“Rather, what Gulfstream seeks here is to use its claimed copyright in its manuals to gain a judicially enhanced monopoly in maintenance-tracking services for Gulfstream aircraft. That outcome would be injurious to the free-market public policy advanced through antitrust and restraint-of-trade laws. It would be especially egregious since Gulfstream is required by federal regulations to produce the manuals anyway. Gulfstream’s monopolization efforts should not get an assist from the Court through an expansive reading of copyright law. It does not take an economic visionary to see that granting manufacturers copyright in their federally mandated maintenance manuals would create service monopolies for those manufacturers, thus decreasing service-center choices (and potentially safety) for consumers in the aircraft industry and other industries.”
