> At an earlier stage in litigation, the Obama administration took a similar position, urging the Supreme Court not to accept Google's appeal.

It seems the Trump administration position is not really all that different than the previous administrations.

Different appeals concerning different issues. The first one was over the outcome of the first trial.

When the Supreme Court did not step in and overturn CAFC's overturning of the first trial, there was a second trial to determine whether Google's use was fair use. The first trial had not reached that issue.

The trial court said it was, CAFC overturned that. This present appeal is on that issue.

So to reverse the Trump administration's support, everyone should just start tweeting how Trump agrees with Obama and supports the Obama administration's position on this issue...
Given how much space Twitter seems to occupy in Trump's head, maybe this is the only possible channel of control... maybe lock his feed up in some sort of info bubble just like politicians want to do to us.
I would love to see his twitter browsing history. I'm genuinely curious how he came to find some of the stuff he posts.
