22. Had the RIAA won that case, the iPod would be illegal today

Just goes to show you how anti-technology copyright holders have historically been. Music composers and tried to sue radio into oblivion, RCA tried to destroy FM radio, broadcast networks tried to destroy cable, and Jack Valenti and the MPAA tried to destroy the VCR. The RIAA will lose in the end, if history is a guide.
