And I bet the vendors of DRM'd books and movies spend a lot of money and effort to try to stop people from downloading those applications. Even if the application is hosted somewhere that isn't in their jurisdiction the eventual spot where they are downloaded may be. And what if the person who created the application is living in an area within the jurisdiction of the people who put the DRM on books and movies? Couldn't they then be sued for having uploaded the application in the 1st place? The net may be everywhere and nowhere, but the terminals where people log on to it have set geographical coordinates in the real world.
