The ram copy doctrine is not current case law since Cartoon Network v. CSC Holdings.

Good reference. I've definitely seen cases where it was referenced since then (2008), but this is good support for a SCOTUS case -- the case you reference appears to have occurred in the Second Circuit whereas MAI v. Peak is Ninth Circuit. The competing precedents will probably need settlement at some point (assuming people don't just wise up and surrender the RAM Copy doctrine organically).
