Agreed. Violating a EULA or TOU does not, in and of itself, constitute copyright infringment. Other specific factors were cited like cercumvention of measures to protect copyrighted material. Violating some randomly chosen term of use doesn't necessarily cermumvent measures to protect copyrighted material, so this case doesn't automatically become precident for all future cases involving EULAs and copyrights. The similarity between this case and some hypothetical future case would be taken into consideration in its validity as precedence.
