Actually, I made the (perhaps false) assumption that you had
quoted the relevant part of the decision. I was only commenting
on the text you had quoted.
Anyways, I've never advocated relying on the circulars
in place of the copyright act. I was just thinking that
the circulars explained some reasoning about the copyright
act that you seemed to be having difficulty with. This is
the "derivative and collective works are disjoint" idea which
you seem to have even though it's not supported by law.
I've not yet read the case summary to determine see what
it says about the literal copying issue.
