Two concepts of jurisdiction cleave courts; traditional notions of justice and fair play have been prevailing in Internet cases, but the revolutionaries are far from defeated
Article Abstract:
The 1996 ruling Inset Systems, Inc. v. Instruction Set, Inc. introduced a new concept of personal jurisdiction to courts ruling on Internet cases, maintaining that only a novel idea of specific personal jurisdiction could cope with a revolutionary medium like the Internet. The court deciding the Archdiocese of St. Louis v. Internet Entertainment Group stayed with the traditional jurisdictional doctrine, which seems to be gaining the upper hand. Only time will tell which jurisdictional doctrine triumphs.
