I was just trying to explain how (and to some degree why) the law works with
respect to damages for copyright infringement - PJ seemed a bit confounded by it
in her update. I did say I would try to stay away from the details of the
case.
Additionally, I'm not sure what you think copyright has to do with prior art -
that's for patents.
I agree with you that it's absurd that Oracle could claim to have property in
those lines of code (people have property (rights) in stuff - stuff is not
property, with the possible exception of land , which would be "real
property"). The law of copyright is broken with respect to software - has
been since that day it was applied to software.
You leave me unsure as to whether or not you replied to the post you intended to
reply to, but if it matters I would also be one of those "many people who
frequent Groklaw" to whom you referred. ;)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
