That leads to this question...
No, it doesn't -- the actual ruling doesn't, anyway. I read it, and what the judge says is that various other facts of the garage door opener world may mean that Chamberlain gave every user permission to use a Skylink transmitter; absence of an explicit prohibition on using replacement transmitters was just part of the puzzle. None of those other facts have analogs in the DVD and eBook world.
It's worth noting, by the way, that this is just a rejection of summary judgement -- that means the judge did not consider all the facts. He just said that there may be facts that need to be considered.
