The pace of technical change in society has greatly outpaced the ability of our legislative and judicial systems to cope with it. While I hate to say it, as the difficulty of passing law is an important protection from an overzealous government, we need to find some way to get these things expedited (and expedited like in real person terms, not legal terms where an expeditious case is one that is finally resolved 5 years later -- many cases stretch on for ~10 years after accounting for appeals, etc., and some even longer). It'd be a really interesting thought experiment to try to revise our legal systems in a way that allows them to match the pace of technical change whilst keeping protections from government overreach in place.
