I wouldn't espect to see any laws changing as a result of this ruling for at least two to three years.

I agree implimentation would be slow, but there are set time limits to a WTO ruling.
Here is an additional question: Can it be used to overturn current definitions of local obscenity?
A video legal in Germany, U.K., Holland, California sold internationally over the internet.
Local obscenity laws would regulate international commerce. This a power that local and state governments don't have.
Since international treaties supersede local laws (U.S. Constitution), Puritan counties in Ohio couldn't enforce their medieval laws.
