This thread is a little old, but thought I'd add my 2 cents.
Quoting from "Business Law and the Regulatory Environment" by Mallor, Barnes, Bowers, Phillips, and Langvardt:
"In addition, many states have enacted 'long-arm' statutes that give their courts in personam jurisdiction over certain out-of-state defendants. Under these statutes, nonresident individuals and businesses become subject to the state's jurisdiction by, for example, doing business within the state, contracting to supply goods or services within the state, or committing a tort (civil wrong) within the state."
You could argue that this is the case here, so if your state has such a statute, you're good to go.
