A German transparency initiative fighting for freedom of information has published a law gazette containing executive orders and other decrees by the German government, which is currently paywalled.
The article discusses the efforts of FragDenStaat, a German transparency initiative, to democratize access to public databases. In Germany, the state sometimes collaborates with private companies and allows them to charge for access to official documents like law gazettes. FragDenStaat recently published all issues of one such gazette, and they argue that such documents should be freely available as they are of general interest and belong in the public domain. FragDenStaat is willing to take the risk of being sued for publication of the law gazette, as they have successfully implemented similar campaigns before.
