> The judge decided a Russian website could not be required to defend itself in a U.S. Federal court. U.S. state court, I think. A Virginia district court judge does not have the power to decide whether or not an action can be taken in federal court. Technically, I doubt he can prevent the RIAA from filing in CA either, because I don't think state court judges have authority over judges in other states. I believe the only thing the judge can decide is whether the lawsuit in question can be moved to another jurisdiction. But what do I know? I'm no lawyer.
