The Felton case comes to mind.  The RIAA threatened Felton with a DMCA
lawsuit for publishing an academic paper on DVD encryption.  Felton
came back and sued for a declaratory judgment that the DMCA is
unconstitutional on its face.  The RIAA quickly backed down, and
successfully argued to the courts that what Felton was doing wasn't
even covered by the DMCA and they had no intention at all of suing
him.
