<div>Greetings:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Just appreciatively responding to the present post on topics which seem to be 'eclipsed' sometimes - and requesting off-list any prior posts that seem to be on the following topic.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I write to mention that <em>CyberJurisdiction</em> is a real broad as well as topically local matter. My own experience with <em>CyberTort</em> actions (distinguished from <em>CyberCrime</em>, but with some common aspects) is that judges can be very "interesting" in how they construe 'who can reach whom' in what kinds of claims.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We have a whole new generation taking the Bench(es) now, who are seasoned netizens, but prior courts have laid down some pretty heavy limiting concepts about how far away people might be such that a court cannot/does not care to reach them (bring them under court authority).
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For us here, fractions of a nanosecond (please instruct on current terminology) might not seem very far away. Just a sidebar on IP, which does include who can assert claims against others depending on Jurisdictional parameters.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Fallut: sometimes Intellectual Property discussions can get sidelined not only per their own substance but because of implications for matters of jurisdictional authority - not a tiny topic and not all that simple. Today. As we type.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If of interest, just "wave,"</div>
<div>and sending very best wishes, LDMF.</div>
