    Facebook VS Faceporn - Case dismissed!

    Justice has prevailed..
    CONCLUSION
    Because Facebook has failed show that defendants? conduct meets the express-aiming element of the Calder effects test, which is required to establish the first element of the Ninth Circuit?s test for the exercise of specific personal jurisdiction, the Court lacks personal jurisdiction over defendants. Accordingly, this Court recommends that the District Court deny Facebook?s motion for default judgment and that it dismiss this action for lack of personal jurisdiction. Facebook may file objections to this report and recommendation under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b) within fourteen days of the date this order is filed.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I have no idea what the hell it all means, other than the fact that I guess we won..

          hahahaha "won"

          Facebook won. They made him defend himself in court.

              I wonder if FP will earn more money this first quarter with the settlement. Congrats, anyway! I guess promoting via Facebook would be out of the question.

                  In that case they will have to retry in Norway. They will have no chance of winning it here. We'll also be able to defend ourselves properly here.

                    Here's what it means. In plain English.

                    The US Constitution has a DUE PROCESS clause that covers a court's ability to haul in a defendant to face trial in a civil or ciminal case. This ability to haul in a person is called PERSONAL JURISDICTION. The US supreme court requires that for someone who is suing you to haul you into court, your activities must have at least some "minimum contact" with the jurisdiction that's trying to haul you in. The US Supreme Court has laid out a test for Minimum contact called the CALDER EFFECTS TEST.

                    The 9th Circuit court of appeals (which covers California) has caselaw regarding this and Facebook failed to meet its requirements. Since Facebook couldn't show that FACEPORN expressly AIMED its conduct at residents of California, the Calder Effects test wasn't met. A federal court in California can't be used to haul in the FACEPORN defendants.

                    Facebook can try filing the case in the home court of the defendant to get rid of jurisdiction issues.

                    Faceporn WON on a "technicality"

                              Not really. I didn't defend myself or had legal advice for the past year. The court dismissed the case on their own merit. Had I actually gotten a lawyer in California and tried to defend myself in court there, I would have submitted to Californian jurisdiction, and the case wouldn't have been dismissed, as far as I understand it.

                                    Interesting indeed.

                                    I think if FB takes this to a Norwegian court that you will be represented for free by one of the "famous" lawyers we have here - just for the press he will get in the case.
                                    Around since 1997, and the company that introduced "Cascading Billing" in MPA3® Affiliate Management and Tracking Software

                                        1. US Courts have no jurisdiction of Norwegian AS businesses.
                                        2. Facebook has a very weak trademark infringement case IMHO
                                        3. No personal jurisdiction but in rem on the host server(s), if they could prove the infringement (IF) -- they do host in on a US IP in New York ...

                                              The stupid thing is if FB had just stuck in an offer for the domain and name to Plugrush. They would of sold, just a question of price.

                                              FB fucked up by not registering all the possible names they want. For $90 for 10 years, it would of been sensible. FB fucked up.

                                              I bet they have now.

                                                      they wouldn't have had jurisdiction in California no matter what the site looked like, or how similar it could have been. It could have been an identical copy and the case would still get dismissed when they don't have jurisdiction.

                                                                  on top of that, his example uses the complete brand in the word googleporn.com, so it would be a slam dunk UDRP dispute.

The whole point of the ruling was that Facebook was trying to get a default judgment with the defendant not present, and the case was thrown out because they did not have juristidction. He had a lawyer to advise him, of course, but niether he nor his lawyer, appeared, and he didn't incur any court costs. Further, if FB brings the suit again, in the proper jurisdiction of Norway, there is a very very good chance that FB will lose.

                                                                                                  even if their domain is .com ?
                                                                                                  The fundamental point being that FB is based in US and since FP hosting was not done there , then charges did not stick.
