I hope the betamax precedent is upheld or even expanded.
Basically it says that a company that makes a device that can be used to violate copyright is not liable if the company can show the device has legitimate uses.

One thing that would be nice, but is extremely unlikely to come from this case (though I think some issues in this direction have been mentioned tangentially), is some sort of expansion of fair use to copies that do not derive from the copy you have a license for, but from the original work in question (provided they are also a subset of your copy of the work).
