Given that multi-datacenter replication is a reality in massive systems, using the point of storage to determine jurisdiction seems like an antiquated idea. Perhaps a system based on the point of origin of data would lead to more enforceable and amicable legislation...

Physics are against rules beased on point of origin. The government of the point of storage has all the power to take the data, the one of the point of origin has none.
