The judiciary is quite literally the outcome of a feudal society (courts?), but that doesn't mean that civilized societies don't benefit from establishing rule of law.

In fact, the absense of laws just means that some random individual can and will have power over you without you having any say on the matter.

I chose to see that positively. In 50 years the Web has civilised into something that is not run by a big company and governed by sane rules.
