With the same character names and so forth. I still have to wonder what the
Robert Graves Estate would be able to do against A. E. Van Vogt's Empire of the
Atom whose debt to I, Claudius is pretty clear. Hearst was not able to stop
Rudolf Dirks from doing the Captain and the Kids, and while I'm certainly not a
lawyer I still see limits on what anybody can own.

'Galleys' go to authors, editors, and proofreaders. Galleys are to be kept
secret. They may be bound, or electronic.
I have an advance copy of a yet to be released crime novel. Advance copies go
to reviewers, book stores, etc. in short, anyone who could create buzz for the
work. They are marked as 'uncorrected' and 'not for sale', but are almost
exactly the same as the final release. They are 'semi-public'.
Oracles use of the term 'advance copy' is silly. A better argument would be
'get a copy of the book off the shelf', that is, already published. That kills
Point 1.
Point 2. Totally bogus, as Java was already published.
Point 3. Same as 2.
Why start with a bogus analogy? It makes no sense.
