Is there a more relevant case you can cite? I’m fully aware of the differences, but its still relevant case law on how the US legal system would approach a case on this issue.
In the end the conclusion from the SC was that Google's use was fair use regardless of the question of copyrightability, which they didn't decide on (the previous court, at Oracle's appeal, had found that APIs are in fact copyrightable and that Google's use did not fall under fair use of that copyrighted API as they weren't 100% compatible with other JVMs).
