"...undermine the protection for innovation and invention in the United
States and make it far more difficult to defend intellectual property
rights..."
But he made clear that innovation and invention falls under patent law, not
copyright. Copyright is for creative expression - not ideas. And as RMS likes to
point out there is no "intellectual property" in the law - only
copyrights, trademarks, and patents.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Ah yes, playing the nationalistic, patriotistic card. The freedom of the United
States is at risk. You know someone ran out of arguments if they play that card.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

a failure to support a never previously advanced and generally
unsupported position on copyright is going to destroy the
industry in the usa? unlikely...

"This ruling <snip> would undermine the protection for innovation and
invention..."
Erm... Oracle had nothing to do with the innovation and invention in Java...
they acquired it after the fact.
"...and make it far more difficult to defend intellectual property
rights..."
Which law is it that grants a right to stifle competition?
Or to 'monetize' something that has always been open, simply because its widely
used?
"...against companies <snip> that simply takes them as their
own".
Or against companies that simply use it to do what every other company does with
something that was specifically made publicly available for that very use.
