Do you mean DIN?

No I'm talking about the Bundesanzeiger (the publication where new laws are published) being privatized.
On a purely philosophical level, what does it even mean for a law to be “public” or “on the book” if access to it is restricted by something like copyright? This seems very backward to me.
