It'll certainly have an effect, particularly since "Chainsaw" is/was one of the most famous titles on the list and I could imagine the same also happening to Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" or Raimi's "The Evil Dead" in the long run, but I doubt it that a radical change will surface in the near future, rather that more labels will dare to appeal individual bans.....but it's a first, important and- dare I say?- historical step in the right direction for the treatment of movies and the freedom of art.
