What a fantastic idea - liberating documents one by one, whilst making life easier (and cheaper) for people looking for that data!<p>I applaud the people behind this.

What about sites like <a href="http://openjurist.org/" rel="nofollow">http://openjurist.org/</a> ? Disclaimer: I've currently working on improving this site

I showed this to a lawyer friend of mine who also has a background in technology. While he thought it was a nice tool for preliminary or casual research, he said that ultimately he will still need to go and purchase the documents so that he is absolutely certain they are the originals since there doesn't seem to be a publicly available way to verify them.<p>A possible solution to this would be a published hash value from the original source.

Oh, now that's clever. I bet Carl Malamud wishes he thought of that.
