I read the judge's reaction to the argument, which is more important than what either party has to say. Oracle has tried to have this issue both ways.

And that precedent probably won't do them much good, because the copying here isn't the same as copying whole articles, however much Oracle's lawyers have tried to say otherwise.

Well, I just read the reports about how it went down. Oracle cut off their foot to save their leg. Then Google showed up with a chainsaw, offering to "help."

So yeah, Oracle's case might be salvageable, but I wouldn't bet on it.
