Trying to legally regulate the Internet is about as productive as trying to nail jelly to a tree, because no-one has or will have the breadth of authority required. It won't happen, so forget it. The best you can hope for is a law against pop-up spam, or the law against email spam being extended to that in any given country.

Some sites require pop-ups to properly service the user. This site would be one example. They aren't all evil. However, "post-mortal" pop-ups - ie, those that continue to appear after you've left the site, I despise, those that take up all of the available display, I despise also. But, without exploiting bugs in other software, eg, the operating system, the shell, etc, they can't actually affect the use of your system beyond the browser. If you're using windows, hit ctrl+alt+delete and kill iexplore.

You don't have to pay to kill popups. You can instruct MS Internet Explorer to never run JavaScript, and I believe Mozilla has anti-popup features, which I've not engaged before because it hasn't affected me that much, I guess.
