Interestingly, FloMo is jumping all over this as a sign that the jury were wrong

Seems obsessed with the idea that they thought it was
transformational and that made fair use. "No professional
judge would agree with that jury..." etc etc

Actually that was apparently only one of the fair use issues
they were
considering, but he will obviously pick whichever comments
he feels make his pre-chosen opinion look less ridiculous.

Anyway, evidently the federal judge of many years'
experience - who he was praising to the heavens last week
for supporting his long held test files infringement theory
- seemed to support the idea enough to put it in the jury
instructions.
