They don't need to show that they're the ones who assembled the collective work,
that's not in question.
They need to show that they authored the *parts* of the collective work. And
they've already rested their case.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

This is big because all claims to individual packages will get tossed out. The
collective work claim will remain but it will be crippled by being unable to
look inside the packages to prove infringement of the SSO. The alternative,
which is more probable, is that the judge rejects Oracle's "collective
work" argument. Then Google gets much stronger fair use and de minimis
defenses because they win on the what is a "work as a whole" issue.

aiui, "no registration" == "no day in court".
Not sure how that would pan out for me, a non-USian, but as I understand the
law, anything lawfully published in the US just MUST be registered or you lose
your right to defend it.
