A natural consequence of your suggestion would be the legislative/EULA analogue of "tax inversion", whereby major companies would move "physical presence" (for some technical definition) to a legislatively lax state/country, and states would have a race to the bottom to attract companies (like with tax benefits). While I understand your point about the impediments to unfettered interaction, this seems to me to be a fundamental problem with "globalized" interactions where the different parties to a transaction expect to be governed by different laws. > Can you imagine owning a grocery store and having to ask every customer their nationality to check which law you must follow to do business with them? It is, unfortunately, a little too easy, to implement filters based on whitelists/blacklists at the DNS level, since those are largely organized geographically (proximity by packet travel time, and what not)
