Motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction partially granted, partially denied, in Capitol v. MP3Tunes, LLC

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

ADVERTISEMENTS

In a case we have not covered before, Capitol Records v. MP3Tunes, the corporate defendant MP3Tunes, and the individual defendant, Michael Robertson, moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, saying the action belonged in California. The Court dismissed as to Mr. Robertson, but denied the motion as to MP3Tunes.

MP3Tunes operates the web sites mp3tunes.com and sideload.com

It appears that all of the plaintiffs are affiliates of EMI.
