DoJ / FBI don't appear to have violated the injunction because the producers in question are potentially primary producers, and their status as primary or secondary would be a matter for discussion in court. I don't think a company buying exclusive footage from a third party and then distributing it as a DVD is awfully close to being a primary producer. Further, without checking records, the FBI / DoJ would have no way to determine that status.
4472 would appear to override the injunction (as it was applied only to the administrative clarifications that the DoJ applied to 2257), but that would only be for material created or published after it's effective date (whenever that was). Until that point, it is clear that secondard producers were exempt, with the exception of DoJ's clarification thingie, which FSC took to court.
