But will Oracle be able to argue the SSO of the 37 individual APIs if they're
not protected individually? If not, then it's only 9 lines of literal copying
out of what, 150 million? I don't think that they can start arguing over the SSO
of the entire work at this late stage, and I think that they've already
stipulated that the SSO of the entire work is not at issue, only the SSO of the
37 APIs.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Except a novel is not a compilation - and that's what the
Oracle copyright registration was for.
If I publish a book of my favorite 17th century short
stories, by them and year, I could get a copyright on the
compilation. However, no one would claim that compilation
copyright extends to the original 17th century stories (all
of which predate the Statute of Anne and copyright).
Oracle now not only has to show their copyright on the
collection, but on each of the 37 APIs.
