This is not something that needs legislation - it needs education. Don't give private info away if it's not needed.
If a program's setup utility slipstreams spyware into the install without notifying the end user, no amount of education will help. You can't stop what you can't perceive.

With notification prior to install, education at least has a fighting chance.
