Law is a matter of opinion. The law itself recognizes that fact by calling legal decisions "opinions." (Beyond which, what you refer to isn't law, but regulation.) Law/regulation often flexes to accommodate new technologies which don't fit existing definitions. "Telephone" is literally "remote sound." A remote sound link via an unpublished number (IP address/port) sure sounds like #3.
