There comes a point where reasoning about rights by analogy loses its bite... imo.

Digital rights, digital ownership, digital business models, privacy, security, speech, digital policing... they're all very different from their analog analogs.

The differences between A & B are less pronounced in the digital realm.

Police hacking into devices has more in common, practically and culturally, with signals intelligence than it does with ordinary policing.

I don't disagree with you. I just don't agree that "it's very simple." We need to invent or adopt novel concepts, not insist that nothing has changed.
