It is a results based decision but the precedent is there. It can be cited and used as argument in any way a lawyer can. But if the court didn't want it to be used they could have not published the opinion. That's done all the time or they court can even remove it from publication. But they haven't which means either they want this to go up or they want it to be used to expand copyright or perhaps both.
I suspect this case will be reheard en banc though. But who knows how long that will take.
