Text: 39 In this Circuit, operation of an Internet website can constitute the purposeful availment of the privilege of acting in a forum state under the first Mohasco factor `if the website is interactive to a degree that reveals specifically intended interaction with residents of the state.' Bird, 289 F.3d at 874 (quoting Neogen, 282 F.3d at 890). Bridgeport asserts that NTW allows and expects its compositions to be sold on the internet and thus has availed itself of doing business in Tennessee. However, Bridgeport does not assert that NTW hosts or operates a website, let alone one that is sufficiently interactive for a finding a purposeful availment. Even under the more relaxed prima facie standard, Bridgeport's arguments are insufficient to establish purposeful availment as the result of internet activity. 40
