You're thinking of Carl Malamud ... who as it happens just *lost* a case in US District Court against Georgia, whose full official laws, in hardcopy, were only available to him from LexisNexis for $1,207.02.

There are many state laws a regulations that "include by reference" standards published by various organizations who sell them for large amounts of money.  Yes, you are legally responsible for working within the standards.
