Likely! It worked against SEGA, in the Sega v. Accolade case. Unlicensed Accolade (and later, SEGA Dreamcast homebrew games) displayed a Sega copyright logo because they were (believed to be) needed to run arbitrary executables.

Makes me think of "Oracle poetry": https://dacut.blogspot.com/2008/03/oracle-poetry.html

So the idea is that a poem, being a work of art, is actually copyrightable? Does this legal hack work?

The finding in Sega v. Accolade would seem to exclude this Oracle 'hack', too, as being fair use: https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/summaries/segaenters-acco...

As a side note, although Accolade won this case, the injunction that SEGA won earlier prevented Accolade from selling product for a while and that cash flow problem motivated their primary investor to step in and remove the company's founder and all top executives and bring in their own team which directly led to the end of Accolade as a going concern (my opinion). Of course in this case, Amazon isn't as vulnerable as Accolade was back then.
