No doubt, but the litigation could blow up in their faces, as well as that of many others. The copy protection schemes seem, at least to this non-copyright lawyer, to be a grab to create greater rights than the copy right laws permit. That is, the digital protections go well beyond what's allowed under the copyright act and, e.g., Sony (is that the VCR case?). what the MpAA and others would do is create a private system of copyright determined and controlled by the copy-protections schemes they create and approved. A court ruling might well tell them: you, nor the FCC, can extend by regulation the scope of your copyrights.
