You mention the key bit; for lack of additional legislation, the court's job is to interpret the existing body of law to determine what, if any, affect it has on new situations. Whether the court should use an 'originalist' interpretation is debatable, but the fix, regardless, is to draft new law. Unfortunately, we have a bunch of old, mostly techno-ignorant people in office, so here we are (this is not to comment upon the original link, and whether the decision is a good one or not, just that the basis of such decisions even at the legislative level is clearly founded on a poor basis).
