I totally have continued my policy of apathy towards the SVA case, but one thing I do want to know; why is the Stanford Fair Use group taking up this case? And, if they lose, what are the consequences for Fair Use law?

Everyone on f_w and in the general fan-sphere seems to believe that SVA/RDR's case is extremely weak and has no merit, but if that is so, why did the Stanford Fair Use Project try to use them as a test case? Is it simply because they want to establish a goal post?
