Yup. I may be rooting for Google in general, but I still approve of this
conclusion. For one thing, it leaves open the possibility that the Grateful
Dead can sue some of those horrible ISPs that inject advertisements in random
web pages. The Dead's free concert recordings are under a strict "no
commercial use" license.
As for Google's situation, well, the idea that APIs may be copyrighted if
sufficiently "hard" is such a horrific one, which will have such
terrible repercussions throughout the industry, that my interest in whether
their use is "fair" is fairly minor. They shouldn't need a fair-use
defense in the first place, and if they do, we're all in trouble!
