This isn’t federal, though. This is state.
Yes exactly. It isn’t in the public domain, and so is still protected by copyright, and arguably fails the test for Fair Use. But OP’s earlier comment suggested they were not aware that federal works sit in the public domain.
It is absurd that that would matter.
The law is a federal law though.
