U.S. Court Rejects 'Net Libel Case

RodgerDodger writes "In contrast to the Australian courts, the US courts have decided that you can't sue for defamation in your own jurisdiction. In both, the key factor was the targetted location; the Australian court ruled that the article in question there was targetted internationally, while the US court ruled that the article in question was local. It remains open (in the US) if a nationally or internationally targetted article could be sued from outisde the immediate jurisdiction."
