From the supplier: Several rulings in the spring and summer of 1996 suggest that entities using the World Wide Web to advertise may be sued wherever the network reaches. In these cases, distant courts were allowed to exert their jurisdiction over Web publishers and advertisers. Although these initial rulings are not definitive, the trend clearly shows that national advertisers through Web pages may be tried in courts in the home states of the customers being solicited.
