According to standard law regarding jurisdiction, the place where infractions or potential infractions occurred the most is where the case is held. For example, if you sell me somthing online, and I take you to small claims court because of some infraction of the deal, you will have to come to me.
Similarly, the infraction IS the video. They want to know where the infraction occurred the most so that they can claim jurisdiction in a court that is beneficial to their case. This is common in law. The video was the distribution, and though the infraction started in NJ, the infraction occurred when the video was viewed.
