Oracle v. Google - Day 8 Filings; Google (Potentially) Blows the Door Off Oracle's Copyright Claims
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, April 26 2012 @ 12:29 PM EDT
They don't need to show that they're the ones who assembled the collective work,
that's not in question.

They need to show that they authored the *parts* of the collective work. And
they've already rested their case.

Oracle v. Google - Day 8 Filings; Google (Potentially) Blows the Door Off Oracle's Copyright Claims

This is big because all claims to individual packages will get tossed out. The
collective work claim will remain but it will be crippled by being unable to
look inside the packages to prove infringement of the SSO. The alternative,
which is more probable, is that the judge rejects Oracle's "collective
work" argument. Then Google gets much stronger fair use and de minimis
defenses because they win on the what is a "work as a whole" issue.

Registrations ARE a big deal
Authored by: Wol on Thursday, April 26 2012 @ 05:39 PM EDT
aiui, "no registration" == "no day in court".

Not sure how that would pan out for me, a non-USian, but as I understand the
law, anything lawfully published in the US just MUST be registered or you lose
your right to defend it.

Cheers,
Wol
