The problem here is that US government wants to "maximize the USA IP interests" and supports Oracle in this case although they haven't studied the implications in details... So we have an "elephant in the porcelain shop" here and this elephant may destroy a lot of things...

The current SG's opinion that Google's fair use claims aren't reasonable is new to this administration.
