I've only read the abbreviated summaries of what the jury had to say; I'll be interested to see more coverage. I think they decided that the DMCA violation was not willful as required by the statute. That's not a big deal, unfortunately.
But, I am interested to hear what the thoughts were with regards to fair use and its evisceration by the DMCA. It sounded like the jury also didn't think it was okay for the DMCA to nuke fair use, which is a message that they need to hear waaaaay over there on the right coast.
