The SCOTUS decision on API Fair Use is the correct one. Students of intellectual property law and computer programs will find the briefing for the Supreme Court fascinating. I find it hard to see how the Circuit Panel that overturned the original pro-Google decision to Oracle's favor in the light of the arguments and evidence provided. The briefing for the Cert, particularly the amici, is worth reading. Oracle tried to move the argument into the public square by encouraging "experts" to write damning op-ed articles for news outlets and for the semi-technical press about the evils that Google did. Often their articles misplayed a shallow understanding of the issues and history of the Oracle/Google dispute. The SCOTUS decision cuts through the cruft and reaches the right finding in this case. It shows that the Supremes can can pay attention and do the right thing.
