That's fine. I still think that if openness is a good thing then the legal system should be one of the first places. Everything should go into a central and open database.

And I would tend to agree with you. But make that argument, not something about the laws of the land being locked away. The “free law” pitch comes across as dishonest to anyone remotely familiar with the system.
I mean, they do already. The database is just the court records and you can go to the courthouse and access them. That's how its been for centuries.
