  In this case it's a bit like legislating the weather. Rights are just commitments by a government to ensure certain things do/don't happen within its area of reach.

We are talking about information exchanged over a distributed network, that spans nearly every jurisdiction on Earth. Unless you are expecting a single world government, monitoring every network link, and a ban on encryption in the near future, it's unreasonable to expect the "rights" being discussed to materially impact you. Maybe you work in advertising, and this does actually affect some number in a quarterly report.
