Makes sense, but how can things like the slapp suit from bob murray have been in a state (west virginia) neither hbo ( who called bob a lot of shit and is located in new york ) , bob murray ( utah) or his company were in?
Edit: excuse me, i meant bob murray, not bill murrey

Wait, what is this about Bill Murrey? I'm out-of-the-loop...

EDIT: Never mind, I was thinking of Bill. Bill Murray. He's still cool, apparently...

Bob Murray

Eat Shit, Bob.

Thank you for clarifying. Wrong dude. I need to caffinate before commenting...

Essentially the same argument: Due to the fact the HBO show was syndicated throughout the united states, he can file in the federal courts in e.g. Texas (usually the argument is something like "They damaged business relations/contracts in XYZ state, therefore we file in XYZ state").

Despite neither having anything to do in xyz state? That sounds broken as hell :/
But thanks for explaining !
