Lawyers and law-makers - too often the same people - really should sort out the chaos they've created in the real world before invading the virtual one.
In the real world, much of the law is accessible only to the very rich or the very poor; there are so many crazy new laws that most people are breaking at least one.
The few new laws brought in to regulate the virtual world seem aimed at tabloid fears rather than at the issues which affect most users.
So, until lawyers and law-makers have proved that they can provide a useful service in the real world, they should be barred from disrupting the virtual one.
