Now how the hell can something part of regulation can be damn copyrighted.

If the government has any law, regulation, legislation that affects what

Is the "National Electrical Code" on the web?

No. It is copyrighted.

But your local library more than likely has a copy
Plus they could have some useful handbooks on the Code
as well as DIY books.
