[conspire] Criminal anticircumvention cases without alleged infringement?

So I'm working on a conference talk in which I think it makes sense to 
mention jury duty, and I thought I'd remind people of the jury 
nullification of the DMCA that was the final result of the Elcomsoft 
("Free Dmitry") case.

Anyone got a good example of a DMCA criminal case since then with _no_ 
allegation of infringement? Like, just anticircumvention? It seems like 
that jury has made prosecutors cautious about "felony contempt of 
business model" cases.
