If the DOJ walked into a large USA data center and demanded that one server be turned off for non-compliance, even though the person running the site is offshore, do you think the datacenter would say "no" and risk its other 20,000 servers? On the other hand, the DOJ cannot walk into an offshore data center as they have no authority.

We do not know if the DOJ will deem the actual server to be the primary business location since that is where business is technically being done....so why risk it?
