Yes, there are already laws in place, and many do a decent job.
The trouble is that either these laws are constantly amended, words and phrases added, definitions updated, or new laws are being implemented to cover newer terms, conditions and practices in the rapidly changing digital world we live in.
Laws are fine, no problem, they create a line we shouldn't cross. That line however, is turning into a mile wide 'grey' area full of hidden pitfalls, a minefield where the smartest and most expensive (or free if you qualify) lawyers ply their trade.
