IANAL but isn't there a massive difference between an artist making a comment on a totally unrelated field (art world commenting on the business world), and copying a product to use for the same purpose (i.e. a business copying another business's API).

Yes, one of the fair use factors is whether the infringing use is a market substitute. No one is buying a Warhol painting of Campbell soup instead of real Campbell soup.

This cost too much, and the taste is off.
