I suppose we'll find out when we reach a high enough tech level to be able to build our own halting oracles, and promptly get sued. If the lawsuit rests on a claim that we reverse engineered the one we bought, it must be copyright law; if the lawsuit doesn't even need to claim that, it must be patent law.
Under galactic law, the prosecution presents a weighted distribution over possible charges, claims, and arguments, and the weights are hyperreal quaternions.
(Not really, of course. The truth will be far stranger than that.)
