This is just another piggy bank for lawyers to dip their hands into. Before too long there will be (more) convoluted laws to traverse when using bitcoins. This is where they make the big bucks. They write the laws in some secret code that only they know, and then you have to pay them to decipher it. Damn I hate lawyers.
Its not going to be a bad thing to have lawyers specially for bitcoins. What is needed more is Cyber cops who could help in tracking down thefts and scams related to bitcoins. I could imagine lawyers to be in high use once government starts regulating it, and takes steps to stop money laundering and all.
