Surely. Remember when the VCR came out and some parties absolutely freaked out and Jack Valenti said

"I say to you that the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone."

Then we invented from whole cloth reasons why they were perfectly OK because there was a ton of money to be made and everyone would actually be better off if the VCR was a thing and everyone knew it because it ended up argued after millions of VCRs were already in households.

I was thinking of the VCR as well. SCOTUS ruled that "the technology in question had significant non-infringing uses" making VCRs legal.
