Claiming that a person accused of murder is not guilty does not imply a conflict with homocide laws even when a court finds otherwise. Similarly claiming that the behavior of the bnetd team does not violate existing copyright law is not a position against copyright even if that claim is rejected by a court. Had the opposite decision come down would you stand by while someone declared that Blizzard acted against copyright by pursuing the case? Surely not. Whether the EFF was wrong to defend the bnetd team is a fair question for debate but to declare their actions to be against copyright is biased rhetoric.
