Enjoined meaning stopped, directed or forced to stop releasing circumvention devices or keys.

The FAIL here is that in their very own documents (court document 4 to be exact, page 247 Exhibit T) the metldr key is published.

These documents PUBLIC DOMAIN now (which make the keys public), they effectively made the TRO null and void.

However, as of now, that part of the document is now temporarily sealed, but the damage has already been done.

The damage was done anyway, but now it is officially/legally damaged.
Keys are not illegal.

They are numbers and can be mathematically induced (and ironically were in this case). Same thing happened with DVD CSS keys (DeCSS) and HD-DVD keys.
