If indeed the works are registered at all other than a
blank disk.

Seems oracle is resting on a house of cards...

IANAL

Another indication that the Judge doesn't fully understand the technology.

That these are individual files, rather than parts of a larger file is entirely
an artifact of the particular technology. In other languages, each of these
test files might simply be lines within a much larger file (perhaps
corresponding to the entire enclosing package). That they are separate files
not parts of a larger file is simply an artifact of Java's general pattern of
one class = one file.

To someone who understands the technology in a broader context, your analogy of
the entire file to one sentence makes perfect sense, and the only larger work to
which the copied code should be compared to in order to evaluate de minimus
copying would be the registered work.
