Cloud computing is an increasingly popular way to maximize the use and efficiency of information technology systems and software applications. This broadly used term refers to a remotely based, virtual computer architecture that permits users to access shared computational resources through the Internet. The key features of cloud computing—the distributed architecture of the cloud as well as the universal access it provides to software and technical data without regard to geographic location or national borders—also present the challenge that users or service providers may run afoul of U.S. export control laws.
This bird’s-eye view will examine the applicability of U.S. export control laws to the use of cloud computing, address the strict liability nature of a violation of U.S. export control laws, and provide best practices to avoid or minimize the consequences of strict liability for export violations that may arise from use of the cloud.
