This affects .mp3 files. Wouldn't it be strange if it turned out that .mp3 file use gets essentially sued out of existence for commercial use? Of course, it would still be used by people like us, as long as there are free software players to play it, and old mp3 player hardware around to play them, but new, tiny portable players that play mp3 might disappear.
What does that leave us with? Apple's proprietary DRM'd formats, Windows proprietary DRM'd formats, etc. It will be the best thing that ever happened to M$ (and apple) if mp3 gets killed in the courts. If anyone wants to listen to recorded music, they'll have to buy a player from M$ or apple, and they'll have to buy all their music from M$ and apple, too.
