∙ 13y agoNo one is exempt from copyright, but some specific works and uses may be. For example, a work of the federal government such as law, judicial opinion, and Presidential order is not protected by copyright, and certain limited unlicensed uses are exempt when used for scholarship or criticism. Other writings would be those that have entered the public domain due to copyright expiring, or because the work is so old as to preclude copyright law. However, in academic writing citation of a source is always necessary.
