Administrative Law is the key here. Departments within the executive branch set their own guidance on certain topics, this is known as Chevron deference[0]. Congress has pushed the details about a lot of our laws onto the executive branch, which is why the FCC, EPA, and others are able to change their rules and make companies/the-public adhere to new rules that didn't happen due to a new law.

- jcranmer 8y agoUh, this case has nothing to do with administrative law. The issue (as presented in Google's petition is): > 1. Whether copyright protection extends to a soft-ware interface. > 2. Whether, as the jury found, petitioner’s use of a software interface in the context of creating a new computer program constitutes fair use. In other words, is the Federal Circuit appeals court off of its rocker.
- kyrra 8y agoUhg, you're right and I can't edit now. That's what I get for not reading.
