Exercise 4

John W. Ferron, an Ohio resident, sued 411 Web Directory and National Programming Service in Ohio in connection with the transmittal by 411 Web Directory of 168 e-mail messages advertising the availability of "Dish Network" satellite television products and services to consumers. 411 Web Directory has no contacts with the state of Ohio beyond transmitting the e-mails. Does an Ohio court have personal jurisdiction over this defendant? [ Ferron v. 411 Web Directory , 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 109898 (July 6, 2009).]
