Two questions:
1) What law is this? Or "laws," rather, because this is apparently relevant to several different countries. In what country/countries is valid? (Not being snarky; I really would like to see the phrasing of the "digital purchases are presumed to occur at the location of the buyer's computer" law.)
2) If the location of the buyer's computer is what's relevant, why can't someone on vacation in the US buy from US digital stores? I somehow really doubt that the law is "the location of the nearest bank office of the buyer's credit card is considered the location of the purchase."
