Goldberg v. Cameron

In Goldberg v. Cameron (N.D.Cal. 2007) 482 F.Supp.2d 1136, a copyright holder sued the producers of worldwide blockbuster movies for copyright infringement in California, where the plaintiff resided. (Goldberg, supra, 482 F.Supp.2d at pp. 1142, 1144-1145.) The court concluded that plaintiff had established specific jurisdiction over the producers because they knew the movies would have a worldwide audience, including California, the copyright infringement impacted California and plaintiff's claim arose out of the copyright infringement. (Id. at pp. 1145-1146.)
