All vessels must be documented with a country. This is international law. Any vessel not registered with a country is considered a pirate vessel and can be legally shot upon and sunk. Whichever country you are documented with, you are subject to their laws, even while in international waters. I think Google needs to hire a maritime lawyer to look this up for them Nice concept....but it is not gonna fly. There is only one problem with this concept…and it is a deal killer.

Google always seems to be coming up with new innovations. How are they going to guard the data center? What if a shark attacks it or someone tries to steal the equipment? There won't be any police near. Very interesting. Google always seems to be coming up with new innovations.
