2. PROPER LAW
The globalization of the offer, or better the possibility to display
his own goods in a window open to the public of all the world, with
the possibility to execute business transactions without care of
states borders, allows new problems arise due to the 'location'
of those transactions.
The geographic location rule, on which it is based the international
trade, is brought into question by the Net. Then it is not able
to locate a certain place in a real area, because we talk about
virtual places and virtual addresses.
The domain names do not locate a geographic area , but only a logic
one. The famous ".com" can be used by people living all over the
world, and even if a first level domain is used, such as ".it" ".fr"
".de", none can guarantee about the place of origin of that domain's
user: many reasons, such as fiscal ones, can justify that a company
placed in a State act using a domain that refers to a different
State.
Moreover, the possibility to use pseudonyms and to take advantage
of those services that make messages anonymous, deleting every reference
of the sender's address, makes more difficult to locate the geographical
area of the transaction.
In this context it is necessary, therefore, to take into consideration
the national and international rules which characterize when the
Italian jurisdiction can apply in a contentious procedure.
