i think that your download is corrupted you have to remove the corrupted package first by code :

sudo apt-get purge oracle-java7-installer

clean your apt :

sudo apt clean

remove and reimport the ropsitory:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update

install your package again :

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

enjoy it bro ! if the problem hasn't solved try using VPN . Maybe there is a filtering between you and the oracle website
