Seems to be international agreements based on the OECD 1998 conference in Ottawa. They said that taxation should occur at the place of consumption, that electronic products was not goods, and that countries had to agree on how to define the place of consumption.
So the author/publisher contracts probably use a term like place of consumption that is defined by international treaties.
