I think the order is particularly unfair to no-ip - it was made ex parte on Microsoft's application (i.e. without no-ip being informed or having a chance to respond).
The complaint claims that no-ip could have implemented Response Policy Zone in response to a report by Cisco; assuming the 'report' they are talking about is this Cisco blog post: http://blogs.cisco.com/security/dynamic-detection-of-malicio..., Microsoft has misunderstood the blog post, as the post is suggesting that resolvers could use RPZ to not resolve malicious (or any) DDNS addresses, not that no-ip could use it to magically stop all malicious users.
It is scary that this was granted - many other businesses could be severely disrupted if courts let things like this through.
