The problem is it isn't just a grey area. Its a grey area that large corporations are using to push around the "little guys" with.
As for helping, its one guy doing the most he can. Its certainly more than I would be willing to do.

I cant agree this would help: it's not really a contentious issue at the moment and this risks a) giving copyright apologists something to distract people with and b) risks a crackdown on people making personal backups...
I think there are better areas to challenge initially; that's all.
You don't need to take someone to court to harm them with a law, simply make it so that they have no choice but to stop doing whatever it is that they're doing. In all likelihood, we would've won if we went to court, and we could've easily won a countersuit for the copyright infringement claims (they actually said later that they didn't say such a thing, despite us having it in black and white), but none of that matters if you can't take on an expensive and drawn out lawsuit.
However it's not an example like I talked about. Even if this guy wins through I don't see how it would affect the broad DRM laws such as hounded you. As I see it it would be a test case for personal use being allowed?
