You can have as much privacy as you are willing to pay for. Today privacy require stopping those who would invade it. It's always been the case except that the technology has improved.

The same with intellectual property. It's only your property as long as you can keep it. Passing laws won't help. Depending on the government never does. The government is SO inept that it lost money running a whorehouse and selling whisky in a state where both are legal.
