Hi all, As you know resources.org has published standards documentation online https://law.resource.org/pub/in/manifest.in.html
It looks like they bought the DVDs of standard documents and uploaded the documents to web. Some of the uploaded documents have been converted into HTML & SVG for portability and life. I know how much effort it takes to do that and they have done awesome job with that. They informed[1] the BIS about this and in reply they got a notice[2] to remove the content. Carl Malamud replied[3] to the notice in elegant way. Its worth the read. I think this is important for us as an open data community. I am not sure what we can do as of now, but at the moment we should at the least keep track of happenings. *Disclosure*: I was one of the kick-starter baker of resources.org's campaign called Public Safety Codes of the World: Stand Up For Safety! <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/publicresource/public-safety-codes-of-the-world-stand-up-for-safe> which wasn't successful :( 1.
