Legal Eagle covers the legal issues with it:

The whole trial probably should never have happened. Star Fleet implicitly accepted Data's self determination by accepting his application to the Academy. Plus, if Maddox thought positronic nets weren't a giant leap in artificial consciousness, why would he be so interested in Data at all?
The legal issues overlap with some of the philosophical issues. There's a long history of investigation into intelligence and consciousness, and none of it is on display in the episode. It's not even a very good introduction to the topic.
This is rather important to today's issues with AI. While I think current AI tech is vastly overhyped, some of the popular arguments against it are just bad.
Okay but have you considered that watching Picard argue that slavery bad is fun as hell?
