My hope would be that the pending FBI investigations will bear fruit with regard to card doctors and eBay sellers conspiring with those individuals. If so, I should think that successful prosecutions would have a significant positive effect on the hobby, even if PSA is able to avoid liability.
As to PSA, I defer to Peter, Jeff and the other lawyers who have had more practical experience with these issues than I had during my career. Assuming PSA was/is in fact ignorant of individual alterations, I assume one issue would be whether its argument that it provides only "opinions" will carry the day.
