Fair and Impartial? Yeah, right.

General Audience
Splitting hairs once again, Oracle’s lead counsel Michael Jacobs quibbled briefly with Google attorneys Robert Van Nest and Bruce Baber.

Jacobs suggested that the general audience should refer to an observer who is knowledgeable about the subject area. Van Nest and Baber argued that it should refer to basically anyone.

Judge William Alsup gave this one to Jacobs, saying he would instruct the jury to infer that the “average audience means those who would be expected to read the copyrighted works.” In this case, that would mean anyone who can read the Java programming language.

Gee, once again the "Honorable" Judge Alsup gives another one to Oracle.

What does "General Audience" mean to you? To me it would mean "basically anyone".

It looks to me like the "Honorable" Judge Alsup is pushing the jury in the direction of finding for Oracle.

I guess this will go on for years on appeal. And the FUD continues against open source. Thank you Judge Alsup.

At least the jury seem to be taking this seriously

Even if they end up with an answer which is "wrong" ;) at least they
seem to be
hearing it all out and not rushing to a verdict without thinking it through.

Good on 'em I say - I'd do the same.

Still wish they would hurry up with the "right" answer though :)

This has to warm your heart. Any thoughts on how much weight it can add to his decision? How does the law work re: adding new info at this point? BTW is the judge following the reporting? He reamed a reporter this morning for some thing said in a tweet.
