Oddly, the baseball books seem to be the only ones that do not allow copy & paste. Ever since they started putting these rule books on-line (has it been four or five years now?) they were always copyable. Not so for the 2010 edition.

The softball, basketball, football and soccer books all can be copied. This makes me wonder: If the security settings for the baseball books just happened to be that way by default when they were uploaded, and; If these were purposely posted with the security settings that way, what the reasoning for that would be.

Then again, rhyme and reason have not always been FED strong points.

As a side note, they are kind enough to include the Umpire Manual for the softball folks. I don't believe that they ever have included the Baseball Umpire Manual among the offerings. And for the people that always say the FED baseball umpire manual is a waste of paper, I'll point out that publishing it electronically would waste no paper!
