They can still file a new lawsuit in the proper jurisdiction and copyright/trademark law isn't exactly a local thing. Why is there so much certainty that "its over" - there is no settlement agreement. There is a simple procedural obstacle and can be easily stepped around.

Except that in this case, there WAS NOT anyone forced into a courtroom. The whole point of the ruling was that Facebook was trying to get a default judgment with the defendant not present, and the case was thrown out because they did not have juristidction. He had a lawyer to advise him, of course, but niether he nor his lawyer, appeared, and he didn't incur any court costs. Further, if FB brings the suit again, in the proper jurisdiction of Norway, there is a very very good chance that FB will lose.
