WTF?

So your laws apply because the data can be remotely accessed...

"The messages can be accessed remotely from Google HQ" - wtf? In theory (given the correct credentials), the messages could be accessed from my place as well, due to this new-fangled magic internetty thingy. So, should my local laws also apply, by the same logic? And the Chinese laws? Anywhere else with connectivity?
