Nobody could rely on Costco because the Justices were divided.

Before the decision was rendered we didn't know it was going to be evenly divided just like we don't know how the SCotUS will decided on the current case. My question remains, why is there so much more hue and cry this time around on exactly the same issue?

Is the public/media becoming more aware of the dangers of losing first sale rights? If so, why? Is the court learning from its past mistakes? It seems there has been a sea change in the awareness of the pitfalls that would ensue if we did away with first sale rights on foreign goods.
