The EU decision says that you can create something functionally equivalent,
specifically in the context of being able to re-run existing programs.
How the heck do you accomplish that without reusing the API?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

When the Beatles took the words
"Loves" "She" "Yeah" and "You" and put
them in a sequence thus:
"She loves you yeah yeah yeah" and organised them in a certain part of
a song with a certain beat (structure) - THAT was creative.
When Amazon puts the song in their database under
Pop/
Rock/
Beatles/
She Loves You
That is NOT creative. That is common sense because the database has to be
intuitively navigable by folks looking for their favourite tunes.
The only copyright here is Amazon's database dump, which if you scarfed it
directly, would be a violation.
But then IANAL
