What is cyber space? --- @Vladimir : Interesting parallel with international waters. However I am not sure it works. What is the cyberspace? Can we say that it is made of all connections between computers or softwares? To access the cyberspace you need a hardware (+software) that is physically somewhere! This "somewhere" is in a country (or above in the case of a plane or under a national flag in the case of a boat). I am afraid we can't escape the national dimension of cyberspace. To fight cyber crime we need efficient international cooperation and willingness to act on the ground against criminals who use digital devices to commit crimes.
