Bitcoin is not something that's self-evidently harmless. The state has legitimate interests at stake. Some legal review is inevitable and will be a good thing.
It's not self-evident to everybody, and that's why it needs to go through the courts. A legal precedent would benefit Bitcoin by removing uncertainty about litigation. And I think it would be a good thing for everybody for it to have its day in court.
