I see lots of reason to be concerned about the difficulty the legal system faces
in dealing with highly technical issues.
But very little evidence yet that it has actually come to a technically flawed
conclusion in this case. We're really going to have to see how the API
copyrightability ruling comes out, and if any of Oracle's gross distortions of
technical terms stick. Hopefully not.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

This is trial is becoming worse than the SCO
trial.
Heck. We are only in year one. When we pass the 5 year mark
we can start entertaining comparisons to SCO. Till 2017, the king lives.
I
will say though that Americans really need to take their government back. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It [sic]
very obvious that the US "legal" system is totally
incapable
of dealing with technical issues in lawsuits.
I'm
not sure I agree. It seems to me that the legal system (in the incarnation of
Judge Alsup and this jury) are doing pretty good with this one. Maybe not
perfect, but pretty good.
Maybe you really mean the folks who write the
laws, and executive branch offices that do the day-to-day work? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Absolutely, and it is largely a problem of judges power. No one dare tell Alsup
that he is a fool and a buffoon and clearly incompetent, because they would wind
up in jail for contempt of court. So, Alsup continues on in his ignorance,
believing that he knows what is going on.
Contempt of court should not be a crime. There is no judge, no lawyer, no court
in this country that deserves anything other than total contempt.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Yep - US Supreme Court got "Bilski" all wrong and fell
short. Ignorance of tech = judges guess.
And when they do what judges sometimes do, that is try to
figure out a way to be fair and choose the middle ground.
They are WRONG to do that.
It's like a case where a judge rules on a Murder. When you
have 100% of the witnesses with "real eyes" knowing the
facts, the judges allow those who are blind, like
themselves, to make a case, where the judge then splits
their decision down the middle, meaning the murderer is only
half guilty (which is what happened in Bilski, because the
judges didn't understand tech enough at all).
It is very sad to see US justice making such a fool of
itself in a very very exposed way.
Ignorance, and hubris? Meaning, when should a judge just
get off the case when they are in waters way over their
heads. The problem is, that the Supreme Court, can't punt
the cases to another set of judges that "do" understand
tech.
