Forcing LinkedIn to provide the data and remove any locks is pretty harsh. Imagine I sued a bank under the theory that the locks on their vault doors are illegally preventing me from opening them. As part of the pleliminary injunction, the judge rules that the bank must remove all locks until the case is decided. Point is, it's not just "maintain the status quo", it's "give them your data for free". IANAL but I don't think preliminary injunctions should change the status quo by intruding on what is plausibly someone's private property.
