that case was an example of the movie industry providing an alternative that fullfilled the fair use right completely and a technology that went way above that fair use right.
specifically Dess which ripped out the copy protection and made a copy that could be used as a source for new copies
vs Cess decrypt which put a header information on the copy that prevented you from copying from it.
The latter fully provided for the backup rights of buyer of the movie and no more.
This case is about taking away the right by taking way the technology that allows the rights without replacing it with anything.
