The Double Diamond Dude Ranch is located in Montana and maintains a Web site on the Internet.Before the Internet,the ranch had relied exclusively on word-of-mouth advertising.The Web site simply provides some general information and lists the ranch's phone number for reservations,but reservations cannot be made online.The ranch has no other connections or presence outside of Montana.Bob lives in Ohio and learned of the ranch through its Web site.Bob then spent a week as a paying guest at the ranch,but was injured when he fell off a horse.Can Bob sue the dude ranch in an Ohio state court?
A) No,because the mere ability of an Ohio resident to view the ranch's Internet advertising does not amount to the minimum contacts necessary for personal jurisdiction over the ranch in Ohio.
B) No,because the minimum contacts standard simply cannot be met based on Internet activity.
C) No,because cases involving residents of two different states must be filed in federal,not state,court.
D) Yes,because Bob noticed the advertisement when he was in Ohio.
E) Yes,assuming that other Ohio residents had visited the ranch before Bob's visit.
