Why the fuck are legal databases locked behind paywalls

PACER charges per page. Mirrors charge less than that. The best is court listener, which doesn't have a paywall but might not have all documents. They're nonprofit.

The reason courts charge is because they decided to fund the filing services by lawyers paying for it instead of general taxes.
