Civil Actions

In a copyright infringement case: 3 defendants; 2 in Illinois; 1 in Texas. All 3 were in Illinois at the time of the infringement. The defendants created A website to sell Greeting Cards. The copyright owner of the artwork for the greeting cards lives in California where he filed suit for infringement. The website remained up for four (4) years before it was discovered by the Plaintiff to be selling the copyrighted items. Can the Plaintiff establish 'Personal Jurisdiction' over the defendants simply because the greeting cards were being sold over the internet and because the Plaintiff's business is in California, which is also where he discovered the mirror website inadvertently while surfing the web? Can Personal Jurisdiction be established based on the circumstances that I've indicated?

In a divorce case, if the disposition says withdrawal of action by plaintiff , what exactly does that mean? Case in the state of Connecticut.

I own a smog shop. I have many used car dealers that use my service. They are billed twice a month. One dealer refuses to pay for 7 cars that I smogged for them. I sent a certified letter to the dealer stating that they were 30 days past due and if not paid by 7-10-10 I was going to file a mechanic's lien on all 7 vehicles to secure payment. They called and said 'go ahead' see what it gets you. All I can find are contruction lien's. How or what do I do to start the process and can the dealer be billed for the expenses I incure processing this issue?

Wen I was pulled over for speeding, they had ran my license, it came up as being suspended for a whole year which I was unaware of. I had a previous speeding ticket in the same county in which I paid in full. They had no ther reason to put me in jail because I had proof that I paid my ticket, and which my license should't of been suspended. They failed to notify the DMV about me paying my ticket. I feel that wasn't my fault and they owe me for mental distress, embarrassment, bond fees, and anything else I deserve.

Can a lien value be amended to a greater value due to an accounting error - after the initial time period has expired?
