The case really isn't about cheating on taxes. The issue, really, is a jurisdictional one. The information is housed on servers outside of Canada. The case goes into discussions about cloud computing and stuff like that, according to Geist. There are also privacy concerns at stake.
The investigation itself is about cheating on taxes. eBay is using the data housed on servers outside Canada as its excuse to shelter the tax cheats. eBay operates in Canada, it has a responsibility to comply with Canadian law.
