As everyone who's attended internet pundit law school know, the effect of a law is dependant on the net worth of the author of it.

The law, as is always the way, is several steps behind social progress and business practices. I'm not sure this can ever be otherwise.

That may be true, I could conceive that if it were otherwise, there would be quite a high potential that you end up with something draconian.

However, I don't think that's the issue here. The issue is that there are corporations making massive investments to actively prevent the law from catch up.
