Not really. There are certainly scenarios which go against the standard "warning" which are fair use. It's also very misleading in that the penalties they state are for criminal infringement, not civil. Also, getting back to the original point, it doesn't have anything to do with license vs sale. That warning is not a license agreement.

Recent rulings regarding sale vs license have certainly favored consumers.
