Even in Net litigation, it's all about location

The Web site DontDateHimGirl.com allows women to make anonymous postings about specific men.

So it was that adefamation lawsuit got filedwith respect to statements made on the site about one particular man.

Let’s take a closer look at the facts of the case.

On May 24, 2006, a profile of the plaintiff appeared on theDontDateHimGirlsite.

Additional postings about the man appeared later.

The court then embarked on an analysis of those contacts in this case.

However, the defendants apparently are aware that Pennsylvania residents will post profiles on the site.

This would violate principles of due process, according to the court.

This reasoning makes abundant sense.

It also should provide comfort to companies and individuals.
