No, they should be allowed to claim one thing for
infringement, and another thing for damages. Consistency
means nothing.
De minimis doesn't apply because the whole work is that
file. The whole work is also the whole of java which is
being damaged. The whole work is also the letters used to
type out the files, and the character encoding. Also basic
logic and lack of it is the whole work, so using any
argument (whether good or bad) in defence is infringement in
itself.
Google shouldn't have copied anything, it's all Oracle's -
they even have copyright on the ideas. But also by copying
less than everything is terrible and must be punished.
In fact if Google had copied nothing at all, and based
Android on a different language entirely, Oracle should have
the right to damages for not supporting Java and dooming it
to irrelevance. Google should just pay up loads now.
They need breaks like this, so nobody should ask them to
prove copyright registrations on any of the elements or the
whole.
Does Google just have no respect for how much money Oracle
paid for Sun?

With apologies to that crackpot "former litigator" who wrote
that article the other day. I've used most of his material,
so I will be sued next.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I read the brief. I am getting tired of their synthetic
arguments. It's all made up hyperbole.
