the RIAA would be absolutely insane to make this argument if they had
any feeling that they would lose this argument because precedents are
set from judgments.

I think that it's entirely reasonable that they would want to retry the
issues behind 'space-shifting' as you call it and they would certainly
pick the case to use rather than have one dictated to them.
