Jurisdiction in passive websites:

There are personal jurisdictions for the publication of the information which can affect the population of the person. As I mentioned there is no jurisdiction on passive sites although some courts have done some analysis to find jurisdiction even when passive websites are used by utilizing an effect.

Now jurisdiction in passive and active sites:

If you read my previous posts so you noticed that these websites provide various facilities for users so courts for determining jurisdiction should find out the interactivity level in exchanging of information. Some of cases are as below: asking money from plaintiff by threatening him by registering domain name of plaintiff by non-resident defendant.

The other one is websites that provide advertisement of goods that are used by many users. And the other is doing business via e-commerce.

 Jurisdiction in active websites:

These websites have personal jurisdiction and one case is as bellow;

For instance websites which provide information about the available products in storage, events that happen in near future and the facility for the user to have online purchase.

In next post I will discuss about cases that contains no jurisdiction and also in which condition there is no jurisdiction in passive and active websites.
