'This book deals with a crucial question not only for information law, but for law in general, namely how the concept of sovereignty should apply to flows of digital information in a globalized world. The authors have re-thought questions of jurisdiction and applicable law for the Internet age in a way that is at the same time learned, imaginative, entertaining, and illuminating.' --Christopher Kuner, VUB Brussel, Belgium and editor-in-chief, International Data Privacy Law'A provocative, well-argued and entertaining critique of jurisdictional dogmas. With pragmatism and creative flair, and with an eye to the informational realities of our age, the authors show why and how legal regulatory policy must be decoupled from its obsession with territoriality as the primary basis for asserting jurisdiction.'--Lee Andrew Bygrave, University of Oslo, Norway
