I don't use AOL, so I don't know this: I'm assuming the local access point that the texan user dialed into pulled it's new from SOMEWHERE locally, not in Virginia. If that's true then the "offender" didn't post in virginia. They wrote some possibly defamatory remarks and published them in Texas. If true then someone, or something, later made copies of those remarks and posted them in Virginia, but they were only published by the accused in Texas--how can Virginia law apply to remarks made in Texas?

800.com has the movie for $20 with free shipping. In case you wonder, no, I don't work for them, I just like their deals.
