IMHO, you are correct in the statment that it is a technical problem. However, wouldn't it be better to take a (I hate this word) proactive approach and develop free programs to protect personal data on pc's?
We don't need more laws. We need more people willing to combat and circumvent spyware's gathering tactics and techniques. Sure we could dump the problem into the laps of the antivirus people, but don't you think we could achieve better results by banding together and working on the problem? Linux wasn't developed by just one man; it took a community of developers to make it what it is today.

Just a thought.
