Dear ,<\/p>\n
<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/b>UPDATE: We are blaming the snow.<\/b> With all the talk of blizzards and below freezing temperatures here in New England, we let a broken link slip through ice! Therefore, we are reissuing our February Newsletter with the correct link to our 2009 Market Study<\/a><\/b> in the "Feature" section. We apologize for any inconvenience and we hope you find the study to be a helpful resource as you move forward with your 2010 planning! <\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a>Sedo's Domain Market Study: 2009 Overview with Q4 Highlights<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Sedo\u00a0saw strong growth in full-year sales in domains bought and sold on their global marketplace in 2009, versus 2008. Sedo represented 64 percent of the top 100 public sales in the domain industry, with the next closest competitor coming in at 8 percent. This growth was also fueled by impressive quarter over quarter results, with a 5 percent increase in domain sales in Q4 of 2009. In addition, Sedo accounted for 11 of the top 20 biggest sales industry-wide, compared to only 5 of the top 20 sales in 2008. This included a surge in geographical and descriptive domains, including the sale of Fly.com for $1.6 million, Russia.com for $1.5 million, Call.com for $1.1 million, and Brazil.com for $500,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Legal Brief<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a>Passive Website’s Hyperlinks Do Not Yield Jurisdiction Absent Control of Target Site <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

By Ryan Sadler , Legal Team<\/i><\/p>\n

A recent decision by a US district court in Missouri clarified an important distinction regarding jurisdictional issues within internet law. The court entered judgment for defendant, a Costa Rican software company, finding no personal jurisdiction. The decision hinged upon the nature of the software company’s hyperlinks on its website. The court held that the defendant company’s website, which was passive, but linked to interactive sites, did not provide the requisite minimum contacts to satisfy personal jurisdiction because the company did not control the target sites.\u00a0<\/p>\n
