That's why we only run our Cloud across 3 data centers - DC / Texas / Washington.  Keeps it all within our own borders and laws but still gives geographic dispersion.  With EC2 I don't think that there is a way to decide where the instance is running every time.

http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2008/12/amazon-ec2-crosses-the-atlantic.html  One of the commenters makes an interesting point about the US vs. EU laws on gambling (that it may now be legal to host gambling services on EC2 if it is in the EU region?).  What other differences in laws between the US and EU are relevant here?  Tim
