Jessica Litman, Wayne State University Law School professor, comments in a story about similarities between the Lincoln Park and Portage city Web sites. Litman says the issue is probably more of an ethics problem rather than legality because a government generally is immune from charges of copyright infringement and its writings are considered public domain. "If a city employee has plagiarized, the taxpayers of that city would presumably want to know," Litman says. "So whether or not it's a copyright issue, it could be an issue of good government."
