This article will discuss the United States’ rulings regarding Internet jurisdiction matters in commercial applications, i.e., jurisdiction in e-commerce. While the application of Internet technologies created unlimited possibilities to business, education, and leisure, these unlimited possibilities also referred to issues of law that our legal system did not really correspond to the Internet technology. The United States legal system has dealt with Internet jurisdiction issues since the early 1990s, and there has been long-term evolution in the case law. Once the system, from the point of technology, tried to establish a “passive and active” Internet activities approach to apply Internet jurisdiction matters, but the system now turned back to reuse old and traditional approaches to Internet jurisdiction cases rather than apply the “passive and active” approach.
