No. The tech genie is only half out and it must continue to get out. Preferably before the legal solution comes out. We have crypto, but it's not even remotely ubiquitous. Consider yourself - how many of your peers would you be able to send OpenPGP-encrypted email message today? The important thing to worry is that once some lawmaking passes and and journalists will happily announce the legal battle's won and the spies won't spy anymore (ha!) most will be happy about this, and continue to ignore any technical issues. That is, stay easy targets until the next scandal. Both technical and legal solutions are important. We just can't ditch one and say that it's not important anymore - neither works well without the other.
