So far, in every case someone blinked. According to my lawyer
colleague, who's by no means unbiased (our company is on the anti-DMCA
side), everytime the "fair use" side pushed their case, the
music/movie companies chicken out. But that's probably a biased
interpretation, in cases that settle out of court, you can always
interpret the result anyway you like. Bottomline is that we won't
ever get a definite answer until there's a case that neither side
chickens out.
I suspect my company does have some balls on this issue, we make DVD
players that play DivX movies (where do you think most people get DivX
encoded movies?) and a boombox that rips CDs into DRM-free MP3
(Rootkit, bring it on!). These are fragrant violation of DMCA and we
are waving the red cape in front of MPAA.
