Alright I've got my Chipotle burrito and I'm headed home, but I have a few thoughts on how bizarre this trial is.
-
-
I think it might just be that there isn't much to say on fair use!
-
There's no way to REALLY hit the four factors because there isn't a lot of evidence that's relevant to fair use determination on either side
-
But like
@danielnazer says, some does go to factor 2 (nature of the work). Still, much of it really focuses on copyrightability issues -
This isn't supposed to be a trial about copyrightability but the jury has got to be wondering about it at this point.
-
And especially, especially since Oracle keeps bringing up the nonsensical comparisons to literature and so forth
-
Like at some point, you have think, yeah, Google's use of APIs isn't painting or literature, but neither are the APIs to begin with?
-
It's almost like Google's case is "It's fair use because they didn't think APIs were copyrightable"
-
and Oracle's is "It's not fair use because they DID KNOW the APIs were copyrightable!"
-
This. Is. Madness.

has there been any discussion of whether the API specification and the implementation are *separate* works?

But that is exactly why they are spending so much time in this. How you use copyrightable stuff determines weight of violation.

The "We put hard work into this and they stole it" is a MUCH better story to tell. Less complicated than hitting fair-use points

I'm also baffled by the API=declaration vs API=declaration+implementation "issue". Both include declarations which were reused.
