In the internet era, a number of traditional legal rules need to be revisited and adjusted in order to fit the new circumstances. The rules on international jurisdiction are no exception. This article is focused on the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union regarding the rules on special jurisdiction in torts applicable in all Member States. This rule contained in the Brussels I bis Regulation refers to the place of the harmful event.

The territoriality of the intellectual property rights, including copyrgiht, adds another layer of complexity to this endeveaour.
