The point is, as was pointed out in the article:
"This was a highly fact-specific ruling,? Apgood said. ?The government failed to prove an element of the case."
That element was that the images in question came from a server or site in another state or country. They mostly likely did - the feds just screwed up in not dotting their i's and crossing their t's and proving it. If they had shown where the image originated, then they would have had jurisdiction --- they just didn't prove that element of the case.
So it's not really something that would have an impact on anyone here, unless they were looking to overturn a conviction, IMO.

(Usual "not a lawyer" disclaimer goes here.)
